“I did. He deserved it!” Flossie said defiantly, already prepared to fight. She lifted her chin arrogantly and declared, “If you’d like to avenge him now, go right ahead!”

“Hah, you’re in for it now! Mr. Guajardo will definitely make your life a living hell!” Jason said gleefully as he held onto his broken arm. Despite the pain causing him to break out in a cold sweat, just thinking about Flossie’s horrible fate delighted him.

He then turned to Halston, trying his best to flatter him as much as possible. “Mr. Guajardo, why don’t we take this matter into our own hands? An eye for an eye, right? Let’s break all her limbs so she won’t tarnish our industry’s good name!”

“Breaking limbs, huh?” Halston’s eyes glinted dangerously. “That does sound like a good idea.”

Flossie felt chills run down her spine. She didn’t expect him to be so cruel! ‘We used to be married! Even if it really was for the sake of hiding his sexuality, I was still his wife! He doesn’t have to go this far…’

Jason immediately started acting cockily, pointing towards the guards and shouting, “What are you doing just standing there? Did you not hear Mr. Guajardo? Break all of her limbs! Let’s see if she’ll be so arrogant then!”

Just as the guards were about to take action, Halston strode towards Jason and kicked him right on the chest, sending him flying backwards.

Halston looked furious, not sparing Jason even the slightest glance as he ordered the security guards, “Break all of his limbs.”

Jason was terrified, and the blood drained from his face. “Mr. Guajardo, what… What do you mean by that? What have I done wrong?”

too.

y one who was confused. Everyone at the scene, including Flossie,

Jason was terrified, tugging on the ends of Halston’s pants and begging for his life. “What did I do wrong, Mr. Guajardo?! I did what you told me to! At least give me an explanation!”

Halston narrowed his eyes, his gaze lowered menacingly. “I told you to ask her to leave, I didn’t say to kick her out. If you can’t understand basic orders, you are useless to me.”

The guards weren’t foolish enough to overlook Halston’s implications, and knew what they needed to do at this point. Soon enough, Jason was dragged away, his haunting screams echoing down the hallway.

The rest of the crowd didn’t dare to gossip about Halston either, so they quickly dispersed. Soon, the exhibition hall was silent again.

Halston was still standing in place, staring at Flossie coldly. Despite not saying a word, his piercing glare was very intimidating.

The woman, however, pretended as if Halston didn’t exist. She quickly instructed the two interns to tidy up their exhibition area, which Jason had previously messed up. “That screen is broken, so call the company’s logistics department and have them send over a new one as soon as possible…”

As the interns knew all about Halston’s power and status, they quickly got to work, not daring to even lift their heads. At the same time, their admiration for Flossie only grew, especially since their boss didn’t even care about how influential Halston was.

‘She’s so cool! I can’t believe it!’

Halston obviously didn’t enjoy being ignored and approached her, grabbing Flossie by the wrist. ” Don’t tell me you’re actually serious about this.”

Flossie frowned, feeling slightly perplexed. “I don’t understand what you mean, Mr. Guajardo.”

“You and that Osborne kid established this shell company, and stole H Group’s largest client from us. You’re only doing this to make me mad, aren’t you? Well you’ve achieved your goal, so why keep up the act?”

Flossie finally realized what he meant. She scoffed and said sarcastically, “Halston Guajardo, do you really think Liam and I established Azure Group because of you?”

“What else would you be doing all this for?” Halston demanded, staring straight into her eyes. You took my lawyers and established a company to rival mine, so what could your motive be other than revenge?”

“I’m clearly doing this because…” Flossie paused, then grinned mysteriously as she half joked, I want your money!”

Halston now looked rather speechless. He could tell that the woman was being dismissive, and her reply basically gave him no information on the situation.

“I told you that you can ask me for money if you need it. We were husband and wife, so I’ll definitely try to satisfy your financial needs as best as I can. You don’t have to beat around the bush when it comes to things like this.”

“Just ask you?” Flossie smiled sarcastically. “What if I said I wanted half of the Guajardo family’s wealth? Would you be willing to give that to me?”

Hearing this, Halston’s expression darkened. “That’s ridiculous!”

“Aw, and here I was thinking that my ex-husband was so generous. Looks like you’re still going to be stingy when it comes to paying up. You can’t even afford this little request…”

Although the man looked exceedingly upset, Flossie didn’t seem to be worried about irritating him further. “You don’t know me, okay? I’m really greedy. Those few millions may be enough for others, but not me!”

After all, she was going to be a single mother of two soon. She needed to be extremely mindful of her financial situation. She wanted to be just as rich as Halston, so her children wouldn’t regret being under her care as they grew up.

Halston had never expected his gentle and obedient wife to be this greedy and demanding. However, her ‘greed’ seemed rather motivational as well. She didn’t want anything handed to her. On the contrary, she wanted to waste the time and effort to ‘steal’ from him.

He wasn’t quite sure how to feel about the situation, with both disdain and admiration for the stubborn woman warring inside him.

“You naive woman… Do you really think taking my lawyers, and signing a contract with South Group will make everything easier?” Halston warned with a serious expression.

“The business industry is like a warzone, it’s not like playing house. If you’re not careful, you might get yourself tangled up in something you can’t get out of. You haven’t forgotten how your family ended, have you?”

The man’s words hurt Flossie deeply, and she clenched her fists tightly. She definitely knew the dangers of the business industry. The Ellsworth family was once one of the Great Eight of Beach City as well. Yet, in the blink of an eye, their glorious reign had crumbled to dust before

her. Flossie actually still remembered how their enemies would push them to the edge. However, she did not wish to relive those memories anymore…

Halston’s sharp eyes noticed the pain in her expression, so he spoke a bit more gently, “I heard about the harsh requirements South Group asked of you. They need you to hit eight billion in sales, right? Do you know how much pressure that would be for a small company like yours? You can never achieve that within the given time frame!”

“I would know if I can achieve it or not, alright?” Flossie retorted bitterly.

“Don’t act tough in front of me. You’re my ex-wife, and we aren’t holding any grudges against each other. I don’t want to see you fail, or you’ll just be humiliating me along with you.” Halston pretended to be cruel to hide the fact that he was actually concerned about her.
