Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Jessanna fished out her mobile and called Halston. When he answered the call, she cried, “Halston, come back quickly and save me. Your ex–wife is going to beat me to death!”
Flossie, who was stony–faced, also took out her mobile and pressed three numbers.
Halston instinctively wanted to hang up when he heard Jessanna’s voice. But when he learned that Flossie was also there, he immediately turned the car around and headed back to Guajardo manor.
Jessanna covered her swollen cheeks and said triumphantly, “Just wait. Halston will be here soon. You just hit me, and the evidence is all here. I shall see what will happen to you!”
Flossie put down her mobile as well and said with a faint smile. “You should also wait. The police will be here soon. It’s so hot today perhaps the detention center will be cooler.”
The numbers she had just dialed were indeed 911.
Since there was no way she could beat this scoundrel, she would leave it to the law.
Halston arrived at the scene in a very short time. His grey supercar looked smart as it rumbled under the dazzling sun.
The man performed a perfect doughnut with his car and pulled up in front of the door.
Jessanna could not wait to go to him when he got out of the car. Sticking out her belly and pointing to her red swollen cheeks, she cried pitifully.
“You are finally here, Halston. If you didn’t come, my baby and I would’ve been tortured to death by Miss Ellsworth! I don’t know what made this crazy woman suddenly come here and ask Lydia to throw my things out on the road. She told me to leave, but I refused, so she hit me. I am terrified, but my baby is as well. I can feel it moving around in my belly. Though I can tolerate this, I cannot let my baby be bullied. You must do something!”
She cried so pitifully, and tears rolled down her little face like a fountain, making her look more miserable than Ophelia in
Hamlet.
Halston frowned, troubled by her noisiness. Stealing a glance at Flossie, he then looked at Jessanna and said coldly. “Things don’t just happen on their own. I don’t believe that she would treat you this way for no reason. Have you thought about why?”
His words stunned everyone.
This was indeed an unusual phenomenon. Halston’s attitude toward Flossie had never been good. He never stood up for her when they were still married. But now that they were divorced, he actually sided with her.
Why would Jessanna think about her mistake when she was obviously the “victim” with her cheeks swollen?
“I guess it is because Miss Ellsworth felt that I have taken her place as the mistress of the Guajardo family that she hated me and took it out on me.”
Jessanna cried and said, “I know you hate me and want to take revenge on me, Miss Ellsworth. But I beg you, can you let me go for the time being because I’m still pregnant? I promise you that I will do anything to atone for my sins once my child is born. This is the child of the Guajardo family. I cannot let him suffer any harm!”
Halston’s face changed slightly when he heard “the child of the Guajardo family.”
He seemed to realize he was being too biased, so he looked at Flossie and asked deeply. “Did you hit her as she said?”
“Yes, I did.”
Flossie admitted openly.
“Why did you do that?”
“She’s the one who asked for it.” Flossie smiled and said, “She is pregnant, after all. Her request required little effort, so I thought I could just fulfill her wish.”
Jessanna was so annoyed that she gritted her teeth. She hugged Halston’s arms and tried to antagonize him. “Look at how arrogant she is. Halston. She’s completely devoid of respect for you and the Guajardo family. If this goes on, I am sure she will go crazy one day and do even crazier things. You should stop her!”
“Yeah, if you don’t return my things, I will definitely do crazier things. For instance, I might send you to prison and let you give birth there.”
Flossie’s eyes were determined. She did not seem to be joking.
Meanwhile, a siren could be heard, and a police car arrived at the villa.
Two police officers got out of the car and walked toward them.
“Who made the report?”
“Me.”
Flossie raised her hand. She pointed at Jessanna and said to the police, “Sir, she broke into my house and stole my valuables. She’s also physically assaulted people. You should arrest her.”
After listening to Flossie’s statement, the police cast a serious look at Jessanna and asked, “Is what she said true?”
Jessanna’s face paled, and she vigorously waved her hands in denial. “No, I didn’t. She slandered me and threw my stuff out. She is the criminal here. You should arrest her, not me!”
“You know clearly if I slandered you or not.”
Flossie’s pretty face was expressionless as she spoke with logic and clarity. “As owner of this property. I have the right to handle any item in the house. Your words have just proved that you trespassed. And one more thing, the items in the baggage you stole are very valuable. Add that into the charges, and you’re looking at at least three years behind bars!”
“What nonsense!”
Jessanna hurriedly defended herself and said, “There are only a few pieces of garments in the baggage, and they are not branded anyway. I bet they are worth less than two thousand. How can it be worth so much!”
She regretted it right after she said that.
Flossie smiled in satisfaction and looked at the police. “You heard her, Sir. She admitted it. Stop wasting time talking with her. Just take her away.”
The police nodded and took out the handcuffs. “Please cooperate with us. Missy. We need you to go to the police station to assist us in the investigation.”
Jessanna’s face turned whiter, and she backed up and hid behind Halston. “Don’t come near me. I’ve been wrongly accused, Halston. Save me!”
Just then, Lydia, who had long been holding a grudge against Jessanna, and happened to be a turncoat, said loudly, “I can testify that Miss Ximenez has taken Miss Ellsworth’s belongings! Moreover, she did not treat the servants here as human beings. She has done many bad things when staying in this villa…”
Lydia recounted the bizarre and brutal things Jessanna had done. Everything she did could easily be constituted as a crime. The more the police listened, the more serious they looked.
‘No, I didn’t. You shut up, shut up!”
Jessanna behaved like a demon that revealed its true form, pouncing on Lydia with the intent to stop her from talking.
She had indeed treated the servants like they were less than human and tormented them whenever she had the chance.
She thought that they were just soulless beings without dignity and dared not resist no matter what.
She did not expect that Lydia would be the one who exposed her!
“That’s enough!”
Halston’s face was gloomy yet dignified.
The chaotic scene quieted down immediately. Lydia did not dare to continue, and Jessanna also did not dare to make a scene. anymore. The two police officers exchanged glances, not knowing how to settle this..
Though Jessanna’s actions were confirmed crimes, they did not have the guts to arrest people from the hands of the president of H Group.
Flossie was getting tired of this. She was not surprised at how weird Jessanna was, nor did she care. She just wanted to get back. what belonged to her.
“Jessanna, I am going to say this one last time. Give it back to me. Otherwise, even God will not be able to save you, let alone this man!”
