Chapter 90 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

As it got closer to Flossie, the gruff voice became a little more excited.

Flossie was scared to death. She waved her hands around and shouted, “Go away! Don’t make me summon a priest to exorcise you!”

“Don’t be scared. Miss Flossie, it’s me. Your favorite, Margaret.”

The skinny ‘ghost‘ pulled Flossie’s wrist with one hand and pushed away the hair with the other to reveal her pale face.

“Margaret?”

Flossie instantly quieted down and carefully opened her eyes.

After taking a good look at the ‘ghost‘, she couldn’t believe her own eyes.

“Margaret, how? Didn’t you

Margaret was the Ellsworth residence’s housekeeper and Flossie’s nanny.

Flossie was closer to Margaret than she was to her mother on some levels.

.

Ever since the Ellsworth family went bankrupt, and Flossie’s parents ended their life, Margaret had been guarding the house. In the end, Margaret was rumored to be beaten to death and buried.

That was what Flossie heard after marrying into the Guajardo family.

By the time she got back to the Ellsworth residence, it was too late. She went to the graveyard but couldn’t find Margaret’s body.

After she went home, she got sick and was in a coma for more than half a month. She seemed to be possessed, blurting out random things from time to time.

It was then that Francine decided that she was bad luck.

Flossie had vowed that one day she would seek revenge for Margaret.

Coincidentally she was looking for the few men who murdered her!

“Could it be that Margaret knew about it and came to see me?‘ she thought to herself.

“Miss Flossie, don’t be afraid. I’m not a ghost. Touch me. I’m warm.”

Margaret was worried that she might have scared Flossie, so she instantly put Flossie’s hand over her forehead. Her grin remained as warm as before.

Flossie touched her forehead carefully and found that Margaret was indeed warm!

“You’re alive! This is amazing!”

Flossie was so happy and excited that she cried tears of joy.

The joy of suddenly having a family again was overwhelming.

“Miss Flossie, you still like to cry like when you were small. Are you hungry? I’ll make you some food.”

Margaret’s sole responsibility was to look after the Ellsworth residence and Flossie, and it gave her meaning and a sense of purpose.

She had been waiting for this day for four years!

“No, I’m not hungry. I’m not in the mood to eat. I have so many questions. I need your explanation. Otherwise, I won’t sleep!”

Flossie switched on the light and pulled Margaret to sit down on the sola. She wanted to know what happened after she left the Ellsworth residence.

“Okay, I’ll tell you all about it.”

Margaret gently held Flossie’s hand and wiped her tears as she began to speak.

“After Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth passed away, Old Mr. Ellsworth left too. Meanwhile, you married into the Guajardo family. The Ellsworth residence became empty, and many people had their eyes on it. They made away with everything they could. They’d even move the floor if they could.”

“I fought and guarded this place for you, but I got hurt. Oftentimes, before my wound could be cured, new ones would appear. The last time I met a couple of vicious ones who beat me till I passed out. They dragged me to the graveyard and buried me.”

Margaret’s words shocked Flossie. She clenched her fists lightly in anger. “Margaret, you’ve suffered so much. Don’t worry. I will avenge you. I will find every single person who hurt you!”

“Miss Flossie, don’t be angry. All my suffering is worth it, now that I see you.”

The two women couldn’t help but hug each other and cry. Through the shower of tears, they released all the suffering they had endured over the past four years.

“How did you escape?” Flossie wiped her tears away and asked curiously.

“I was fortunate enough to meet a kind–hearted person. He dug me out from the ground, and I survived.”

As Margaret thought about the last, her eyes were filled with fear and thankfulness.

“The identity of the person who saved me is very mysterious. He said that a mysterious big shot instructed him, and he requested that I disappear from Beach City.”

“Mysterious big shot?”

Flossie frowned.

After all in such a critical situation, the whole world would be eager to destroy them. She wondered who would be kind enough to help them at such a time.

“I’m not sure either, but I want to repay them for saving my life!”

Margaret added, “Could it be Mr. Guajardo? Only the Guajardos would dare to help the Ellsworths at that point. You’re his wife, and he knows that I’m your nanny. He didn’t want you to be sad, so he helped me.”

“Impossible!”

Flossie said confidently. “He doesn’t have any feelings for me. He went abroad after our wedding. When I was in a coma for half a month, not once did he ask or care about me. He wouldn’t save you.”

Before this, she loved him with all her heart and didn’t feel his indifference hard to accept.

But now, as she recalled about it, she felt that she’d been too petty and that it wasn’t worth it after all.

Margaret looked at Flossie and felt sorry for the girl. “Miss Flossie, I didn’t know that you had such a terrible experience in the Guajardo family. Mr. Guajardo treated you with malice. There’s no point in a marriage if there’s no love. It’s good that you divorced him.”

When Margaret heard about the divorce between Flossie and Halston, she was worried, but now it seemed that the divorce was a freedom for Flossie.

“Yes. I think it’s good that we divorce. I want to thank him for making me realize that and regain my freedom!”

Flossie didn’t want to talk about Halston anymore, so she continued asking Margaret. “Margaret, how did you live alone these few. years? Why didn’t you contact me?”

“After I was saved, I did as my savior said and went away. I didn’t want to put you in trouble, so I didn’t contact you. But I really couldn’t leave the Ellsworth residence behind, so I sneaked back and hid in the basement, pretending to be a ghost to scare the ill–intended.

“This trick turned out well, because, in the last few years, nobody dared to come near the Ellsworth residence. Even the neighbors moved out.”

At the mention of his. Margaret kneeled down on the floor. “Mr. and Mrs. Guajardo and Old Mr. Guajardo, do you see this? I did it. I managed to guard the Ellsworth residence until the return of its rightful owner!”

Margaret’s loyalty to their family touched Flossie’s heart. Tears pooled around her eyes as she said, “Margaret, thank you. If it weren’t for you, the Ellsworth family would be no more.”

“No. I’m useless. I couldn’t stop Mr. and Mrs. Guajardo from…”

Guilt was written all over her face, and she didn’t dare to think of the past.

She was there to witness it happen, and it was brutal.

Suddenly, she thought of something and looked at Flossie. “Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Guajardo left a legacy document and asked me to give it to you.”
