Flossie nodded, her eyes determined.
“I’ve never gone against my words.”
“Good.At least you still have some conscience.”
There was a complicated look in Geronimo’s eyes when he looked at Flossie, and it was unclear if it was appreciation or contempt.
Then, he said in a vague tone, “You have quite a devastatingly beautiful face, I must say, to be able to charm my son to this extent…”Liam, who was still kneeling on the ground, furrowed his brows when he heard that.
“Boss, just ignore me and leave!” he pleaded emotionally.
“I’m my father’s favored child! No matter how angry he is, he won’t kill me.But if you fall into his hands, I don’t dare to imagine what kind of sick things he’d do to you with how rogue he is!”
Geronimo was known as a philanderer in their circle.
In addition to his seven children, he had many illegitimate children outside and countless affairs! How could Liam not know about his father’s cheating ways? It was natural for him to be concerned about Flossie because of that! Flossie, however, was calm.
She even smiled charmingly and said, “Sick things, huh? I’ve seen a lot of those, so what’s one more?”
She had heard about Geronimo’s affairs, but she believed the older man wouldn’t make such a pass at her.
“Shut up!”
Geronimo was furious at the conversation he heard between the two, especially his precious son, who he had spoiled from a young age.
Not only was he a lovesick idiot, but he was also stupid enough to think that Geronimo would be so lustful that he would go after any woman before him?! “My request is simple.
Since that loser son of mine has licked your shoes for so long and almost emptied the family’s coffers and even racked up a sizable debt, you can’t possibly expect you won’t have to repay.
Why don’t you marry him and work for him for the rest of your life to atone for your sins?”
This request came entirely out of expectation and it dumbfounded everyone.
Especially Laura.
She glared at Flossie and said disdainfully, * Dad, are you crazy? You want a divorced woman to marry Liam?!”
The Osborne family’s eldest daughter, Yvonne, also shook her head and sighed.
“Dad, you should think twice.Liam can fool around with a divorced woman like her, but to really marry her into the family…It’d be a disaster!”
“Yeah! Even if she wasn’t divorced, she’s an Ellsworth and Schneider descendant! You know how difficult those families are! We’re no match for the Guajardo family, certainly not something we can handle!”
Geronimo ignored the nasty reactions and continued to look at Flossie.
“You should take a stand, hmm? You can’t enjoy all the benefits and refuse to give anything in return, right?”
Geronimo was not the only one waiting for Flossie’s answer.
Liam also held his breath and watched her closely.
Flossie, who was initially calm, was now in a panic.She knew very well that she had no feelings for Liam, and they had only broken up recently.
Whether she agreed or refused, both would be awkward.
“If this can really help relieve your anger, Uncle Geronimo, then I’ll happily agree to marry Liam.
That one was originally one of our plans for this year anyway.”
Flossie eventually agreed to Geronimo’’s request with the greater good in mind, but the man ended up ridiculing her after she agreed.
“Hahah! You’re delusional!”
Geronimo sneered from the high horse he was on.
“What makes you think that the Osbornes would want a low-quality item that someone else has swept out of their house? My loser son may be a lovesick idiot, but I’m not.
Not to mention, you don’t love my son at all! Even if you two really loved each other, I would never allow you to become my daughter-in-law!
“The Guajardos have oppressed us at every turn.If I were to take a woman that the Guajardos rejected, my reputation would be in shambles! Even if you don’t have a brain and think with your toes, it’s impossible for that to ever happen!”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they also didn’t forget to take a jab where they could.
“All of you, shut up! Don’t talk about Flossie that way! Have you forgotten that she saved Liam and me before? With our family’s status, even if we cultivated another eight hundred years, we’d still not be able to match up with Flossie!” Leia yelled angrily at her family, and her cheeks flushed red.
“Take her away!” Liam ordered Leia, his head hanging low and fists clenched. His goddess and savior had been humiliated by his family! He was so ashamed that he couldn’t even find the courage to look at Flossie!
“Geronimo, you better beat me to death today, or don’t blame me for becoming a rebel!” Liam coldly warned Geronimo.
Although the older man was his respected father, he had touched something precious of his! It wasn’t something he could tolerate!
“You stupid beat! How dare you say such damning things to me just for the sake of a used woman! Fine! I’ll fulfill your wish and beat you to death!”
Geronimo had also been driven to desperation by Liam’s words, and he brought down the whip two more times, where it struck skin and flesh with impunity. Hayden naturally cried for him to stop, and the entire scene became chaotic again.
“Enough!”
Flossie, who had been silent the entire time, said indifferently, “Uncle Geronimo, your opinion was very objective, and I wholeheartedly agree. As a divorced woman, I should have kept my distance from your son. However, not only have I failed to do that in the past few years, but I’ve also gotten close to him and shamelessly enjoyed the benefits of his efforts. I was too selfish.”
“Hmph! At least you have some self-awareness!”
The reason for Geronimo humiliating her in this manner was because he hoped it would make Flossie understand her status and stop seducing his precious son in the future. Flossie continued, “The money Liam spent on me all these years and the money he borrowed from the bank, I’ll repay it all with a three percent interest, principal included. Please don’t blame him anymore. All of it is my fault, and I’ll fix this mess myself!”
“Those are some nice words. The money my son spent on you over the years is probably between three to five billion. You say you’ll repay it all with a three percent interest. Where are you going to get the money?”
Geronimo was very dismissive.
In his opinion, Flossie was just a rich abandoned woman whom Halston had kicked out. She could hardly protect herself, let alone obtain such an impossible amount of money!
“You don’t have to worry about that!” Flossie said coldly. “I’ll say it clearly now. In three days, I’ll pay the money back in full, but you have to keep your promise and not give Liam any more trouble!”
“Hah. Fine. In three days, here with the same people. Let’s see how you’ll make it up, hmm?”
Geronimo looked at Flossie as if she were a joke, then put away his whip and said to Liam, “If she can really come up with that much money in three days, I’ll transfer the shares of Osborne Group back to you and never interfere with your affairs again!”
“Goodbye!”
Flossie saw that Liam was safe for now, so she turned and left without saying another word.
Liam had been beaten to an inch of his life, yet he still held strong and gritted his teeth as he tried to chase after Flossie.
“Boss, wait for me…”
Flossie was already walking out of the Osborne Mansion when she heard Liam shouting her name from behind. She stopped but did not turn around.
