Chapter 91 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Posted on June 5, 2024 by admin

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Margaret then went to the basement to fetch the letter she had been keeping with utmost care for four whole years in the old box.

“Miss Flossie, this letter was given to me by Mrs. Ellsworth just before she died. But it’s very strange, she said that I should never show it to you if your marriage is happy, but if you get divorced, then I should pass it to you…”

Margaret solemnly handed the letter sealed in the envelope to Flossie. She looked rather sad when she did so. Mrs. Ellsworth’s anguish and desperation before she committed suicide were still fresh in her mind.

The only person Mrs. Ellsworth was reluctant to let go of was Flossie. She must have hoped that she could have a happy marriage with Master Guajardo, but who would have expected that it would last only four years before it fell apart…

Flossie looked down at “My Dear Flossie” written on the envelope. It was her mother’s handwriting which no one could imitate. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.

Four years ago, she was in the laboratory conducting experiments on the speed of electromagnetic waves around the major planets when her parents jumped off the building.

As a science prodigy, she was so obsessed with numbers and data that she would not leave the laboratory for months or have any contact with the outside world before she got the outcome of the experiments.

Her family had always been supportive of her scientific endeavors and never disturbed her when she was doing research. No one would have predicted that the moment she succeeded in the experiment would become the time she received the tragic news about her family’s bankruptcy and her parents‘ death!

Hatred immediately filled her heart. She hated those who harmed her family. And she was aggrieved at her parents, who had not left a single word.

She wanted revenge, but before she could identify her enemy, her intention was ruled out by her grandfather, and she was forced to marry Halston.

For four years, she suffered countless times because of her parent’s choice to die without leaving a word. It led to her refusal to even visit their graves or care about the Ellsworth family. 1

“They apparently did not leave in silence. They did leave me a message. I was too stupid, too stubborn to understand their intention!”

Flossie cried as she opened the envelope.

The letter was not long. There were only a few dozen words, but each word pierced her heart as she read it.

“Flossie, my baby, please forgive us for not saying goodbye to you. When you read this letter, perhaps you have ended your marriage with Mr. Guajardo. You must be feeling very sad and helpless, right? Promise us that no matter what you find out about the Guajardo family, don’t blame them. We have too many things to say to you, but we want to tell you that you must live a happy life, and you must not must not avenge us. The daughter of the Ellsworth family need not be a great person, but she should be healthy and happy. We will become a family again in the next lifetime!”

Flossie’s tears rolled down like pearls, dripping on the letter and smudging the letters. Fearing that the letter would be destroyed, she quickly wiped it with her sleeve.

These were her parents‘ final words for her.

“Father, Mother, you are so cruel!” She cried so hard that she nearly choked.

When she came to think of it, she seemed overly calm and had never shed a single tear when she learned about the death of her parents.

Everyone said that she was aloof and ungrateful, but in fact she was in so much pain that she could not even cry.

Now that she could finally cry, she felt much relieved.

“Cry it out, Miss Flossie, just cry it out.”

Margaret patted Flossie’s back sadly and comforted her gently. Her young lady was a strong girl. It’s devastating that she had suffered so much all these years…

After crying her heart out, Flossie gathered herself. “Margaret, now that I am back, you no longer have to live in the basement. Move in with me, and we will support each other.”

“Okay, Miss Flossie, I still want to care for you like I used to!”

Margaret’s pale and gaunt face finally revealed a smile. It had been a long time since she last smiled. Then, she asked. curiously, “Miss Flossie, what message did Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth leave for you?”

“They hoped that I could live a normal and happy life and don’t blame the Guajardo family, and they told me I must not take revenge for them.”

She gazed intensely at the letter and answered truthfully.

“That’s weird. It seems there is no secret in the letter, but why do they insist that it should only be given to you after you are divorced? Could it be that the people who caused the bankruptcy of the Ellsworth family related to the Guajardo family?”

Margaret’s random guessing threw Flossie into deep thoughts.

She frowned. She examined the letter over and over again and remained silent for a long time.

Margaret realized that she must have talked too much. She quickly covered her mouth and said hurriedly. “What I have said… Don’t take it to heart. Why would the Guajardo family do that? If they were really the ones who harmed the Ellsworth family, why would they let you marry Mr. Guajardo?”

“You are right. But Father and Mother let me read this letter only after I got a divorce and emphasized that I must not blame the Guajardo family, so there must be something unspeakable in this matter, and it has to be related to the Guajardo family.”

Flossie squinted her eyes and had roughly got a big picture of the matter. She said, “Although the Guajardos might not necessarily be the ones who harmed the Ellsworths, they must know something. Moreover, the people behind the fall of the Ellsworth family should be very influential. Otherwise, Grandfather, Father, and Mother would not repeatedly tell me not to take revenge, or force me to take away my dignity and seek protection from the Guajardo family!”

The Ellsworths were the descendants of famous generals. They were never weaklings.

If the other party was capable enough to force her parents to commit suicide and her grandfather to entrust her to the Guajardo family, they should be more powerful than the Ellsworth family.

However, their power should only be on par with the Guajardo family. Otherwise, she would have long been eliminated and not have survived for so many years.

In Beach City, there were only a few families that could be evenly matched with the Guajardo family. Now that she had the information, it was easier for her to lock on to her target…

“What do we do now, Miss Flossie? Are you going to seek revenge?”

“Of course, I will!” She frowned as her gaze turned hostile, and continued, “I will not let any of those who killed my parents go!”

She had too many concerns when she was Mrs. Guajardo. Back then, she obeyed her grandfather’s last words and lived as a housewife who cared nothing about the things happening in the outside world and gave up on seeking revenge.

Now, everything was different. She had divorced Halston and had no relationship with the Guajardo family. So, she would not let the fall of her family and let her parents‘ death be meaningless.

From now on, she would seal her heart in a loveless chamber and retaliate without fear!

The next morning, Flossie was awakened by the pleasant tune sung by the birds.

“Good morning, two little ones!”

She stretched her body and patted lightly on her belly. She was still in early pregnancy, so she did not have a baby bump yet.

and fetal movement would be even less likely. Regardless, she felt that the child did respond to her, and this made her feel a lot better.

It was no exaggeration to say that this was the most comforting and peaceful sleep she had in the past four years.

“Good morning, Miss Flossie. You are just in time for breakfast!”

Margaret entered the bedroom, carrying a tray with Flossie’s favorite milk and handmade bread, like how she would do in the past. Looking at Margaret, who was standing in the morning sun, Flossie felt as if she had traveled back to the past, back to when her grandfather, father, and mother were still alive, back to when the Ellsworth family was in its heydey!

“The weather is very fine today. Do you have any arrangements. Miss Flossie?” Margaret asked softly, handing Flossie the glass of milk.

Flossie took a big gulp of the milk. After thinking for a while, she suddenly looked at the sunflowers Liam gave her yesterday on the bedside table, and smiled. “I want to give the backyard a good makeover. Let’s plant lots of sunflowers like in the past.” “That’s wonderful. I’ll help you!” said Margaret gaily, “The garden used to be full of sunflowers, and it was very beautiful during the flowering season. We should really bring the house back to life!”

After breakfast, the two got busy tidying up the overgrown garden. They cleared the weeds and loosened the soil.

Since Flossie was pregnant, she could only manage simple and easy things. It was Margaret who did most of the hard work.

When Margaret was shoveling the soil, she suddenly found a foreign object in the soil and threw away the shovel in shock. ” Miss Flossie, come and take a look at this!”

Flossie hurried over upon hearing Margaret and saw a green carved jade lying in the deep hole. She picked up the jade and brushed away the dirt to examine it more carefully.
