Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
She smiled and said nothing else.
Yeah, that might be the best ending.
As expected, Zack was as capable as he came, successfully winning that lawsuit for Xavier.
He found a piece of key evidence to prove that the woman was suffering from heart disease. The main reason for her death was because of her illness, and the minor reason was that she had consumed a special drug. As the person in charge of that place, Xavier’s place had to be suspended for half a month for rectification purposes. He also needed to pay a fine.
However, Xavier still gave a great sum of compensation to that woman’s family out of pity.
“Murderer! You guys are murderers!”
“Ruthless judge and lawyer! You guys will be punished. You’ll be haunted by my daughter!”
After the victim’s parents gained the result of the judgment, they immediately made scene in court, collapsing and wailing.
Flossie was free, so she attended the trial. Halston happened to be there too.
However, she did not greet him at all. It was as if she did not know him. After the trial was over, she went to Zack and was about to return to the law firm with him when someone stopped them in their tracks.
‘Let’s eat together. I haven’t thanked you guys properly for helping me out, keeping me out of jail.”
Xavier stood before them and invited them enthusiastically.
At first, Flossie wanted to refuse him, but Xavier answered enthusiastically.” Sure, this case wasn’t easy. You should treat us to a feast.”
Hence, the four of them left.
Their figures were reflected in the eyes of the dead girl, who was full of hatred…
They went to a western restaurant that featured a very refreshing and elegant environment.
At first, both Xavier and Zack did not get along well with each other, but after that lawsuit, they became good buddies and had a very close relationship.
‘ Mr. Rosenwell, let me raise a toast to you. I would’ve been ruined if it weren’t for your eloquent speech that helped me win this case. My father would’ve had a field day, beating me to death!”
Xavier held his glass of wine up to Zack.
However, Zack never forgot about Flossie, his boss. He hurriedly said, “You don’t have to thank me. I’m just my boss’s employee. I wouldn’t have fought in your case without her permission.’
“That’s right! Let’s toast to Flossie!”
Zack raised his glass of wine to Flossie and said half-jokingly, “I won’t see you as a young married woman who doesn’t know anything. I’ll call you… Flossie. What do you think?”
While talking, he sang casually. “Flossie, you’re my darling… You’re the moon high up in the sky…”
Hearing that, Flossie was overjoyed, and she smiled broadly. Even her eyes turned smiley.
“Sure, Xavier. I didn’t expect you to sing so well. I was moved.”
‘ Now you know!”
When he mentioned that topic, he became eager and started rambling.” Back then, in our circle, I was famous for being the singer of romantic songs. I was good at singing and writing tunes. Women went crazy for me, and I nearly made a debut. I even wrote songs for a famous singer. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Halston…”
Xavier turned to Halston, who was sitting beside him. “Isn’t that right, Halston? You’ve got to testify for me.”
Halston lowered his head to cut the steak elegantly. However, he wore a cold expression, giving off a sense of distant nobility.
He seemed to be slightly unhappy as he cut the steak forcefully. He then snorted and said, “You talk so much. Why didn’t you join a talk show?”
“Halston, do you have to…”
Xavier became slightly awkward. “I’m always so talkative. You know that. When did I offend you? Why are you angry for no reason?”
“I’m not angry!”
Halston was munching the steak and replied coldly.
The steak that day was quite hard. He was very annoyed while eating it.
“You have such a bad temper. You’re just angry. Are you jealous because I talked to Flossie more?”
Xavier asked seriously, but in exchange, Halston shot him a cold glare.
He was giving Xavier a warning. ‘If you say any more nonsense, I’ll throw my knife at you instead.’
Flossie felt slightly awkward, so she immediately gulped some orange juice to hide her awkwardness.
At the same time, she muttered inwardly, ‘Halston is jealous because of me? That won’t be!’
Halston put down the knife and fork before he picked up a napkin to wipe his lips. He glared at Xavier fiercely and coldly, “Didn’t you always find her an eyesore? Why are you showing off now?”
Xavier quickly answered, “Halston, that’s not right. I’m not showing off. Flossie and I are good friends that care for each other. She admitted to it too… Isn’t that right, Flossie?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Flossie did him the honor and nodded. She said, “We became friends for life after you bought me coffee. After that cup of coffee, you and I are friends forever.”
The most important thing was that Xavier was very straightforward. He leased that 1500 square-foot piece of land to her just like that. Besides, the rent was so cheap. Indeed, it was a rare occurrence in a world where greed got the better of everyone.
“Hmph!”
Halston’s expression became even darker, and he even snorted in disdain.
As for why he was angry, even he couldn’t tell!
It’s just that, whenever he saw Flossie being close with another man, he would feel angry!
“What are you snorting at? Bro, you said you’re not jealous, but your face simply screams jealousy…”
Xavier explained, “Yes, I used to dislike Flossie, but that’s only because I thought she was a scheming woman who clung onto you and wouldn’t let go, a parasitic flower that could only survive under the shelter of the Guajardo family. I thought she was a hindrance to you finding true happiness…”
“But now that you’re divorced, I realize that Flossie is actually really capable. Not only does she manage the Guajardo and Co. Law Firm and the Azure Group remarkably well, she now wants to get land from me, presumably to do something big. She’s not a soft and weak parasitic flower at all, but a strong and unyielding poisonous flower!”
Before Xavier had even finished praising Flossie, Zack immediately piled on the praises, “Ain’t that right. Our boss is super talented, resourceful, and meticulous. All three of us Guajardo and Co. partners willingly follow her lead now. And I’ve never seen the law firm employees work so enthusiastically before. The law firm finally stops looking like a retirement home. This is all thanks to our boss’ unmatched charisma!”
Flossie felt a bit embarrassed being praised like that. She waved her hand and said, “It’s no big deal. I just have a lot of energy to spare because I recently regained my freedom. It’s nothing special…”
Halston caught the key point among the string of praises. He asked Flossie with a frown, “You got some land from Xavier? What do you plan to do with it?”
“Sorry, I have no obligation to inform you about that, Mr. Guajardo.”
“Don’t tell me you want to set up a production center?”
“How clever of you, Mr. Guajardo, but… your guess is only half right.”
