Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
And when she thought about the fact that Halston still had lingering feelings for Flossie, she knew that she would not have any advantage when they had it head–to–head.
Therefore, she suppressed her urge to fight and said. “I know you hate me since I am the one who took everything away from you. You can beat or scold me if you want, but can you stop pestering Halston? Don’t you have your next target already? Though the Osborne family is not as powerful as the Guajardo family, they are still part of The Great Eight of Beach City. They are more than qualified for a person like you.”
Flossie was speechless. Jessanna and Halston were incompatible in every way, save for the rather identical cockiness they both displayed.
She did not bother to say anything more and pointed to Lydia, “You, bring me upstairs.”
As the housekeeper of the villa, Lydia used to make things difficult for Flossie under Francine’s order.
But now, Flossie was a heaven–sent savior to her, so she would be more than glad to obey her.
Jessanna watched as the two went upstairs. There was nothing she could do, so she could only take it out on the other servants.
Lydia led Flossie upstairs and said cautiously. “Ma’am, thank you very much for saving us. If you hadn’t appeared in time, we would have been tortured to death, we…”
“Stop it!” Flossie swept a cold lance at Lydia. “I wasn’t trying to help you. Don’t get over yourself.”
The picture of how these servants drove her away and how they curried favor with Jessanna was still vivid in her mind.
She was not the kind of forgiving person who repaid her grievance with virtue. She did so simply because these servants were still useful to her.
Lydia knew that she had mistreated Flossie in the past, so she did not dare to say anything more.
The two went to Flossie’s old bedroom. When they opened the door, Flossie saw that the room was totally empty. There was not a single thing inside.
“Where is the baggage I left in this room?” Flossie looked at Lydia and asked.
“Um… Lydia stammered. She was obviously afraid of something.
Judging from Lydia’s reaction, Flossie knew that she remembered very clearly that she had left the baggage with the quilt in the villa.
“Go on, tell me where my baggage is.” Flossie questioned with a cold face.
Lydia looked troubled. After making sure that there was no one around, she said, “I am not going to hide this from you, Mrs. Your belongings have been cleared away by that woman, and we don’t know where they have been sent. That woman is such a troublemaker. Recently, she has been making a scene to either refurbish your room or remove all the plants you planted in the yard. In short, she does not allow anything which belongs to you in the villa. She is just so difficult to serve!”
Right at that moment, Jessanna, who was proudly sticking out her belly, came and slapped Lydia in the face. “Traitor! Who asks you to be such a tattletale?”
Lydia’s face turned as white as a sheet, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to breathe.
Flossie found it rather ironic when she thought of how high and mighty Lydia looked when the latter bullied her in the past.
There was always a more evil villain to defeat another.
Flossie did not bother to waste time here. She looked Jessanna straight in the eyes and said sharply, “Give me back my stuff.”
“What stuff? I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“I will count to three. If you still refuse to give me back my stuff, don’t blame me if I hurt you.”
“Stop threatening people here. Do you think I am afraid of you?”
Jessanna held her arms across her chest and said arrogantly. “Let’s not argue about whether I have taken your stuff or not. Even if I have, what can you do if I won’t give it back to you?”
Hah! She was now pregnant with the only heir of the Guajardo family. This would be her strongest shield. She was sure that Flossie would not dare to touch her!
“One…”
“Two…”
Flossie intensified her cold gaze.
All she wanted was to get back her belongings without making a scene with Jessanna. But if Jessanna was determined to fight, she would have no reason to hold back!
“Three!”
Flossie finished her countdown, but Jessanna was still unmoved.
“You, throw out everything in her room!” Flossie lost the last bit of her patience and ordered Lydia.
“Don’t you dare!”
Jessanna glared at Lydia.
“…”
Lydia gulped. She felt as if she was in between Scylla and Charybdis.
When she was hesitating, Flossie uttered slowly, “I’ll give you a hundred fifty thousand dollars!”
Lydia’s eyes lit up instantly when she heard the figure, and she said to Jessanna, “I’m very sorry, Miss Ximenez. I don’t think I can serve you anymore. I apologize in advance for offending you today.”
Jessanna was so angry that her face turned red and she threatened Lydia. “Idiot! You’d better think it through. Who is going to be the mistress of the Guajardo family in the future? If Halston knows about this, will he let it slide?”
“If you become the future mistress of the Guajardo family, then I will be even more eager to leave. Otherwise, I might lose my life!” Lydia rebutted boldly. She finally exploded after holding back for so long.
Money definitely tasted better than the suffering of working under this vicious woman.
So, she threw Jessanna’s belongings one by one no matter how the latter threw tantrums.
All her belongings, from the large items like her expensive jewelry to the small ones like her panties, were scattered on the road in front of the door. It was so humiliating when her things were run over by the passing cars.
“Stop it! You traitor! Stop it right now!”
Jessanna yelled and screeched to stop her. Her disheveled look was a total disgrace.
It felt like a deja vu, and the only difference was that their roles had switched. Flossie found it ironic as she watched.
“Let me ask you once more. Where are my belongings?” She grabbed Jessanna by her collar and questioned icily.
Jessanna, who could not care less about anything anymore, laughed hysterically. “I won’t tell you. Never. If you have the guts to hit me, or you dare to touch me, Halston will never let you go. I…”
Slap! Slap!
Flossie flung her arms and slapped Jessanna hard twice.
Jessanna and Lydia were dumbfounded.
They never expected that Flossie would really do it.
“You actually hit me? Just you wait!”
