Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
At the center of the room was a skull wrapped in a piece of cloth as red as blood. The cloth was filled with curses written in dark red, which was creepy.
And this piece of cloth was exactly what Flossie had been looking for the entire day! Her precious quilt!
“Have I been… cursed?”
Flossie could feel goosebumps all over her body as she took in the scene. Even though she didn’t believe in this supernatural stuff, it was still uncomfortable to see little dolls looking like her being stabbed, and curses were written all over them.
“Jessanna has gone too far! What a vicious serpent!” Flossie exclaimed as she held back the urge to throw up. She clenched her fist, so angry that her petite frame trembled.
No wonder the police would rather arrest that woman than tell Flossie where her suitcase had been hidden! She knew if this place was discovered, her true nature as a crazy and cruel person would be exposed!
Halston frowned deeply and asked the maid. “Was Miss Ximenez responsible for all of this?”
The maid warily lowered her head and replied. “Um… We’re not sure. Miss Ximenez only forbade us from coming down here.
She said if any of us dared to go against her orders, she’d cut off our legs…”
Well, the answer was obvious, wasn’t it?!
Flossie calmed herself before pushing Halston away. “Seems like your little mistress has strange ways of hurting others, huh?”
she mocked. “Quite refreshing, really. I’d advise you to check if she’s cast some sort of spell on you for you to be so smitten.
with her.”
After saying that, Flossie gathered her courage and stalked into the room, kicking a few of the dolls away and picking up the quilt wrapped around the skull.
The skull rolled onto the floor. Now that it wasn’t covered with the quilt, it was obviously a human skull, and the maid screamed when she saw it clearly.
Flossie ignored it and quickly checked the pattern on the quilt, but at the same time, her stomach started to hurt…
Perhaps it was because she had been running around all day that Flossie was exhausted and nauseous, likely due to her pregnancy. She endured the discomfort in her abdomen and squeezed the quilt with curses written all over it tightly in her hand, and the fury was obvious on her beautiful face.
Turning her burning eyes on Halston, she asked coldly. “How are you going to deal with this? Your little mistress has done something so vicious and disgusting!”
Jessanna had repeatedly challenged her and pushed her to the limits. Before this, Flossie had been too lazy to bother about the woman. But this time, she had really crossed the line, and Flossie wouldn’t stand for it.
If she did, there would be a second time. She wouldn’t have the energy to deal with it if that happened!
Halston straightened up, the indifference on his face not changing as he asked another question instead of answering her. “What do you want me to do about it?”
“Hah!” Flossie couldn’t stop the sneer from escaping her lips. “Judging by your words, do I dare think you would do anything I asked? Are you willing to turn your back on your darling mistress to get justice for me?”
Halston tilted his chin upward, adopting a pose that indicated he was superior to Flossie, and took in the anger radiating off the petite woman before replying calmly, “Jessanna has gone too far this time. If your request is reasonable, I’ll make sure it happens.”
“Are you serious? Do you think ‘gone too far‘ sums up what happened here?”
Halston’s casualness and leniency toward Jessanna sparked Flossie’s anger even further. She couldn’t understand. Was Halston that head over heels for that woman, and that’s why he would turn a blind eye to everything to protect her?
When she thought about how she had placed this man on a pedestal and how deeply she had loved him for four years, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted at her once vulgar taste!
“A reasonable request, you said?” Flossie’s red lips lifted into a smirk as she sneered, “Get her to apologize to me, on her knees. on international media. If she’s sincere, I’ll consider forgiving her.”
Halston furrowed his brows, and the air in the room suddenly became tense. “Don’t go overboard.”
“Overboard?” Flossie repeated, laughing outright. “Are you saying what she did wasn’t overboard? She cursed me to die in such a disgusting way! When one does wrong, shouldn’t they apologize?”
“I’ll get her to apologize to you, but there’s no need to make a scene on the media. It’ll become the joke of the day if the world sees this.”
“If she has the guts to do it, then she should have the guts to bear the consequences. What she did was a joke on its own!
Shouldn’t the world know what kind of person she is?”
When it came to this. Flossie refused to budge an inch.
“Besides, even if it becomes a joke, that’s your family’s problem. It doesn’t concern me.”
Halston stared at Flossie, the emotion in his eyes becoming conflicted and eventually hardening further.
The woman before him was completely different from the kind and dignified individual he remembered. The more he stared at her, the more he didn’t recognize her.
“You weren’t like this before,” Halston said. “Jessanna is pregnant. Does it make sense for you to be this aggressive?”
Flossie burst out laughing at his words. “Haha! Aggressive? Are you serious? You consider that aggressive? Since when were you so magnanimous, Mr. Guajardo?”
She took a deep breath, brushed her hair, and said harshly. “You best guard your little lover well, Mr. Guajardo. If she falls into my hands, I won’t stop at this, and I’ll make her pay what she deserves!”
After saying that, Flossie left the Guajardo villa with her head held high.
Everything in this villa made her feel dirty and repulsive. If she could, she’d never step foot in this place again!
It was then that the pain in her abdomen suddenly intensified, and Flossie gulped harshly. Beads of cold sweat broke out on her forehead…
Flossie called for a cab and waited at the curb of the villa, her body swaying occasionally.
At some point, Halston had followed her out, and his hand wrapped around her thin wrist. There was concern in his eyes as he asked, “You don’t look well. What’s wrong?”
“I’m pissed at your little mistress!” Flossie replied instantly.
She wanted to shake the man’s hand off, but she felt too weak, and she couldn’t muster up the strength to do it.
“Are you okay? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?”
Halston didn’t feel comfortable leaving Flossie alone and was fully prepared to get his car.
“I don’t need your false sympathy!” Flossie shot back. Halston was a hypocrite, and she didn’t give him a second glance and sneered. “If you’re really ashamed, then you should advise your lover and get her to apologize to me on her knees, or the consequences will be even direr! Either way, I’ll be pursuing this matter to the end. I won’t let her off so easily!”
The words were imposing, but because she said it weakly, it sounded more like a rant without any killing intent.
“That’s fine, do whatever you want. It’s your right. Just let me get you to the hospital first.” Halston said, attempting to coax
Flossie like a three–year–old.
He held her shaky body and gently started to lead her in the direction of his sports car.
“I told you it’s none of your business! Let go of me!” Flossie exclaimed, struggling stubbornly with slight dampness in her eyes.
She felt aggrieved. She had clearly been the victim here, but this man was defending Jessanna for no proper reason, making her look as though she was aggressive and vicious.
