Chapter 103 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Even if Halston had the power, he could not openly defy the law. The only way to resolve this was to get Flossie to drop the case.

or Jessanna might very well end up in jail if the court so decided!

Halston’s patience was gone. He looked annoyed. “Tell me. What do I have to do to make you let her go?”

Flossie found Halston’s sudden change in temper ridiculous. It must have been hard for an arrogant guy like Halston to put up such a gentle facade for his lover.

Flossie lifted her chin and said with a half smile. “Haven’t I made it clear enough? All you have to do is let your lover kneel down and apologize to me in front of all the media.”

“Don’t go overboard.” Halston’s eyes turned cold. Somehow. Flossie seemed like a complete stranger to him.

The old Flossie was not so aggressive.

“I told you. Jessanna is still in the hospital with an unstable pregnancy. How can you have her kneel down and apologize to you?”

“Is that so?!”

Flossie silently clenched her firsts. Despite the heartache, she maintained her arrogance and mocked Halston. “She can’t kneel but you can kneel on her behalf. Well, Mr. Guajardo, aren’t you a man who would bend over for true love? How touching!”

Nothing mattered to Flossie anymore. Just let Halston think of her as a mean and cold–blooded woman. Despite being kind and meek for the past four years, he saw her with utter contempt. In that case, she would rather be the villain!

Halston’s face contorted with anger that made people shudder.

Flossie’s unforgiving behavior angered him. He seemed to have lost all control over her, and such a feeling drove him mad!

“Jessanna was wrong, but she already had her punishment…”

Halston tried to hold his anger, hoping to reach a peaceful solution. He warned coldly, “You’re not pregnant, and you won’t understand the pain she’s going through. If you need any financial compensation, state your demands, but if you dare to hurt her, don’t resent me for ignoring our past relationship as husband and wife!”

“Haha.”

Flossie was not angry at first, but Halston’s words infuriated her. “Were we really husband and wife?” she spat.

Halston had to be the most hypocritical and heartless man she had ever met. He rescued her just not long ago, but the next moment, he threatened her for Ximene. How could he?

The way Halston hurt her without knowing was incomparable to the damage that Charles brought her. The damage that Halston caused was invisible, yet deadly!

“I don’t want the money. I want Jessanna to have a bad time. Go ahead and threaten me all you want. Let’s see who’ll win!”

Flossie’s words were a formal declaration of war with Halston. She had nothing to fear.

Zack Rosenwell was a top criminal lawyer. If Flossie wanted, she could hold Jessanna accountable for her crimes. was not entirely impossible to put her in jail for more than eight years or even a decade.

“You’re so stubborn. You’re going to regret this, sooner or later,” Halston said, his words sounding more like advice. He left after that.

Margaret had been working in the kitchen all morning. She prepared a variety of dishes, which were Halston’s favorites.

She once thought that Flossie’s former husband was a reliable man and could bring Flossie happiness. She liked him a lot and was sure that Flossie’s late parents would be happy with him as well. Therefore, Margaret was determined to find a way for Flossie to reunite with Halston.

“Food’s ready! Time to eat!”

Margaret enthusiastically brought out the dishes and served them on the table but was surprised to see Flossie alone.

“Huh? Where is Mr. Guajardo?”

“I chased him away.” Flossie sat down as if nothing had happened and began to enjoy Margeret’s cooking.

“You chased him away?” Margaret let out a long sigh. She knew Flossie well enough to see she was playing it cool.

“Miss Flossie. I know you and Mr. Guajardo still have feelings for each other. Have you ever given remarriage a thought? For the sake of your baby?”

“We have feelings for each other?”

Flossie stopped eating and smiled helplessly. “Margaret, you’re always good at reading people, but not today. Unfortunately, you’ve misread the situation. Do you know the reason behind Halston’s sudden visit and all that courting?”

“That’s because he can’t let go of you and wants to reconcile?”

Flossie shook her head. “He came to plead for his lover. He’s a prideful man but stripped his pride for such an awful woman.

That’s unacceptable. I’ll never forgive him for that!”

“What—” Margaret looked at Flossie, appalled. She did not expect Flossie’s former husband, who seemed so upright and noble. to be so dishonorable. That was a great disappointment.

“I don’t think he’s that kind of man. He should be able to distinguish between right and wrong. He probably won’t condone his lover and her bad character. Is there some misunderstanding?”

“Misunderstanding?”

Flossie sneered, “Margaret, you lack experience in relationships. Do you know? There’s no right and wrong in love…”

“The favored ones always do whatever they want. I blame my lack of charm. It’s been four years, yet I never garnered his love.”

Flossie had always been confident. However, she felt inferior and weak against Halston and their strange marriage.

She couldn’t understand how a nice person like herself would lose to a pretentious woman like Ximene. Anyway, screw that. She was done with self–doubt and hurting herself.

Margaret said nothing more. The failed relationship had indeed hurt Flossie deeply. However, seeing that Flossie hadn’t let it go, she secretly decided to do something…

Halston left the Ellsworth Residence in a terrible mood. Anger swirled around his face, and his stormy aura would deter even the bravest souls from approaching him with a ten–foot pole.

He frightened H Group’s employees. Now, they were extra cautious and dared not even squeak.

At the same time, Xavier walked into Halston’s office with a big grin.

“Halston, Halston. Are you there? Hey?”

Xavier sensed the strange atmosphere in the office while walking. It seemed like Halston was the cause.

“Hello, Mr. Stuart! How can I help you? Mr. Guajardo is busy today. I suggest you come back another time!”

Rachel, the secretary, tried to hint to Xavier about the situation. She hoped he would read the room and not get himself into trouble.

Xavier, however, being the goofball he was, said with a big smile, “It’s okay. I’m Halston’s favorite. He’ll make time for me even if he’s busy.”

Xavier proudly lifted his chin towards Halston, who was buried in work.

“Right, Halston?”

The only reply he got was, “Get lost!”

“Ahem!” Xavier flashed an awkward smile at Rachel. “Halston seems to be in a bad mood today. What happened?”

“I’m not sure,” she whispered. Everything was fine before, but I heard he became like this after leaving his former wife’s place…”

“Alas, it must have been hard on Mr. Guajardo. Now the world knows about his failed relationship. It’ll be very humiliating to lose her forever. He’s probably under tremendous pressure!”

Almost eighty percent of the people in the company were fans of Halston and Flossie’s relationship. Rachel, one of their rabid fans, even stalked Halston and Flossie’s movements.

Everyone unanimously agreed that Mr. Guajardo must have been frustrated with the former Mrs. Guajardo again. They all looked at Halston with awe and sympathy. There was also a sense of pleasure in knowing that life was fair.

“Frustrated?”

Xavier sighed and lamented, “I didn’t think the former Mrs. Guajardo would be that aggressive. Halston can’t even deal with her. I thought he could help get me some connections, but how about now?”
