Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Flora Shamed Laura On Live.

Flora’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen — Simon.

"Hello, Simon."

"Good morning, ma," Simon greeted politely.

"Good morning, Simon.

" Ma. I just wanted to inform you that the car is ready. "

Flora glanced at the time.

"Alright. I’m not ready yet. Please ask Grace to come to my room."

"Okay, ma. I will inform her."

"Thank you."

She ended the call and dropped her phone on the bed.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on her bedroom door.

"Come in," Flora answered.

Grace opened the door and stepped inside.

"Ma, you sent for me"

"Yeah, Grace. Help me set up the softbox light in my study. Make sure it is properly positioned because I will be using my camera."

"Alright, ma. I will take care of it immediately."

"Thank you."

Grace nodded and left.

Flora got out of bed and headed into her bathroom. She took a refreshing shower, dried her body, applied her favourite perfume, and packed her hair into a neat ponytail.

She lightly applied a small makeup powder to her face.

After getting ready, she opened her wardrobe and selected a beautiful silk dress she had purchased during her last trip to Italy. She examined herself in the mirror and smiled slightly.

"Perfect," she whispered.

She picked up her phone and walked towards her study.

Grace had already arranged everything. The light was standing in front of her desk, and the camera was properly positioned.

"Is everything ready?" Flora asked.

"Yes, ma. I have checked everything."

"Good. You can leave now."

"Alright, ma."

Grace walked out, leaving Flora alone.

Flora settled in her chair and adjusted the camera. She opened YouTube and went straight to her channel settings. First, she changed her channel name.

Floac Foundation.

She examined the name for a moment and nodded in satisfaction.

"Let us do something meaningful today," she whispered.

She adjusted the camera, checked the lighting, and took a deep breath. Then she clicked the LIVE button.

Within seconds, people began joining. At first, a few hundred. Then thousands. Likes came in rapidly. People were sharing the live across different social media platforms.

Flora looked at the screen in surprise.

"Oh, my goodness," she whispered.

The comments were moving so quickly she could barely read them.

"Please help the needy, ma!"

"Flora Darwins, you are an inspiration!"

"Please, ma, I have serious health problems."

"God bless you, Madam Flora!"

"Please, ma, I am currently on my sickbed. I have cancer. I need help."

Flora stopped scrolling at the last comment. She leaned closer to the camera.

"Please, whoever is requesting medical assistance, kindly send a request to be brought on this live session. I want to understand your situation before making any decisions."

Almost immediately, a request appeared. Flora accepted it.

A young, beautiful lady appeared on the screen, lying on a hospital bed, looking weak. There was an IV line attached to her hand.

"Good morning, my dear," Flora greeted gently.

The lady struggled to smile.

"Good morning, ma. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity."

"What’s your name?"

"My name is Amanda, ma."

"Alright, Amanda. What happened to you?"

"Ma, I have been in the hospital for some time now. I need spinal surgery, but my family cannot afford the bill. We have tried everything, but nothing has worked."

Flora’s expression became serious.

"How much is the surgery?"

"Ma, the hospital bill is very expensive. I don’t even know how to explain it."

"Is your doctor available?"

"Yes, ma."

"Please ask the doctor to join us."

A few moments later, a man in a white coat appeared on the screen.

"Good morning, ma," he greeted.

"Good morning, Doctor. I understand this patient requires spinal surgery. Can you explain her present condition and the amount required for the procedure?"

The doctor explained her condition and confirmed the surgery was necessary. Flora listened carefully.

"Alright. Please send the hospital’s official payment details to my dm. I want the outstanding bill cleared immediately. I also want her treatment properly supervised."

"Thank you very much, ma. We appreciate your kindness."

"Please, don’t thank me yet. Just make sure she receives the treatment she needs."

Within minutes, she processed the payment. Amanda’s eyes filled with tears when the doctor told her the hospital had received confirmation.

"Ma, thank you! Thank you so much! May God bless you. I don’t know how to repay you." Amanda said, trying to stand up from the bed.

Flora signaled her from the screen to relax.

"Please relax,okay?, you don’t have to repay me, Amanda. Just concentrate on getting better. I wish you a successful surgery."

The comments section exploded.

"OH MY GOD!"

"She just paid her hospital bill!"

"Flora Darwins is a different kind of woman!"

"God bless you, Madam!"

Flora continued attending to requests. Some needed money for school fees. Others needed assistance with rent, medical bills, and business capital. She instructed her team to verify the requests and began approving payments. Millions were being distributed.

Flora glanced at her second phone. Her team had just sent a message: _"Thelma verified. House rent confirmed."_

She nodded and looked back at the camera. "Approved."

Her notifications kept arriving. Her following increased rapidly, and thousands were sharing the live.

Then someone typed:

"PLEASE BRING YOUR HANDSOME DRIVER!"

"We want to see him!"

"Where is your driver, ma?"

Flora laughed.

"You people seem more interested in my driver than in me," she said playfully.

"We love you and your driver!"

"Madam Flora and her driver!"

"Please, we want to see him!"

Just then, someone knocked on the study door.

"Come in," Flora said.

The housekeeper entered.

"Good morning, ma. Oh sorry, you are busy,I will come back later."

"Okay, please ask Simon to come "

"Alright, ma."

A few minutes later, Simon walked into the study.

"Good morning, ma."

"Good morning, Simon. Please come here."

Simon approached her and noticed the camera.

"Ma, I saw the trending video."

"Yes, Simon, I saw it too."

"Are we live, ma?"

Flora smiled.

"Yes. Apparently, thousands of people want to see you."

Simon raised his eyebrows.

"Me?"

"Yes, you. Come and say hello."

Simon stood beside her chair and faced the camera.

"Good morning, everyone."

The comments section went crazy.

"FINALLY!"

"HE IS HERE!"

"WE LOVE YOU!"

"OUR CELEBRITY DRIVER"

"Flora and her handsome driver!"

Simon couldn’t hide his amusement. Flora shook her head.

"I don’t know what you people see in this young man."

Simon smiled politely.

"Thank you, everyone. I appreciate you."

The live became even more popular. People were sharing it across different countries. Several influential business personalities also joined.

"Madam Flora, your generosity is admirable."

"Supporting humanity is one of the greatest investments anyone can make."

"Your foundation is doing wonderful work. We are proud of you."

Flora read the comments and nodded.

"Thank you. I believe everyone deserves a chance at life ,I thank God for the grace to make a difference in people’s lives"

Flora looked into the camera and smiled softly.

"And I also want to encourage all of you watching me. Please, practice regular charity, no matter how small it may be."

She paused.

"Place a charity box in your home. Place one in your office. Teach your children to be generous. Give your time to others."

Her voice became gentle.

"Even a token gesture of a few pennies will do. It is not about the amount. It is about the heart behind it."

She raised her hand gently.

" Please understand that the Floac Foundation will continue supporting people in need. We will seek out new ways of giving and sharing. However, every request must be properly verified so that assistance reaches the right people."

Another comment caught her attention.

"Madam, please sue whoever posted your private video without your permission!"

"Yes! That was an invasion of privacy!"

"Nobody has the right to record you secretly!"

"Take legal action, ma!"

Flora calmly read the comments.

"Thank you for your concern. My legal team is already handling that matter. I believe there are proper legal channels for dealing with such situations."

Her attention returned to the thousands of comments flooding the screen.

"THE WOMAN KING!"

"SILENT BILLIONAIRE!"

"OLD MONEY IN THE HOUSE!"

"THE EAGLE KING OF BIRDS!"

"QUEEN OF HUMANITY!"

Flora laughed softly.

"Some of you are giving me names I have never heard before."

Simon chuckled beside her.

"Ma, I think they have already given you a new title."

"Apparently," Flora replied.

Her phone kept vibrating with payment notifications. People were still sending their account details from different countries, and her team was processing verified requests in different currencies.

The number of viewers continued rising. One million. Two million. Then even more.

Flora glanced at the screen and smiled. She had only intended to make a simple announcement, but the entire world was now watching.

Flora glanced at the time and smiled softly at the camera.

"My people, we have been here for eight hours now. I think it is time for me to end this live."

"No, ma! Please don’t go!" the comments rushed in.

"Please come back again, ma!"

"Ma, please don’t leave us!"

"Promise us you will come back!"

Flora laughed gently.

"Yes, I promise. I will always come back. Floac Foundation is here to stay."

The comments filled with hearts and prayers.

Simon stood beside her quietly, watching the screen. The viewers kept begging her to stay. Flora raised her hand gently and asked everyone to calm down and listen carefully to her final words.

"But before I leave, I want to say something," Flora said, her face becoming serious.

The live suddenly became quiet.

"And one more thing. Laura Ford, I saw your video. You used my image without my permission to shame me. My lawyer is already watching this Live. Expect a letter tomorrow morning."

The comments exploded immediately.

"LAURA FORD!"

"Laura Ford is wicked!"

"Laura Ford is jealous!"

"Desperate Laura Ford!"

"Shame on Laura Ford!"

Flora did not smile again. She looked straight into the camera one last time.

Then she ended the Live.
