Flossie was determined to take care of this matter as soon as possible!
In the Osborne Mansion.
Liam finally regained his freedom.
Leia cleaned his wounds for him with teary eyes.
“Why did the old man suddenly decided to show me mercy? Why did he suddenly let me out and even said he would hand over the inheritance to me?… Did Boss actually raise enough money?”
Liam looked at Leia with a sharp gaze and asked.
‘That’s right. Who knows where she got so much money from. That’s why Dad let you out. The two of them even signed a contract…”
Leia told Liam about the contract.
“Damn it!”
Liam flipped out. He stood up and stormed out before Leia could finish applying the medicine. “How long was she gone for? I’ll go after her!”
“Don’t. I already told you, Dad asked her to sign a contract. If you two have any further contact, she’ll have to pay a large penalty. If you keep pestering her, you’ll just cause her trouble.”
‘That contract is bullshit! I’ll tear it up right now!”
“Liam, please calm down. Don’t do anything hasty. I think… you should bear with it for now. If you make Dad really mad, he might lay a hand on Flossie.”
Leia knew her father very well. She knew that he was a schemer.
He would not have created such a “disgusting” contract otherwise.
She speculated that Geronimo must have a plan in place to deal with Liam. If Liam blindly ran into Geronimo’s trap, Flossie would be the one to pay the price.
‘Then what should I do? I can’t cut off all contact with Boss! I can’t do it!”
Liam covered his face with his large hands, feeling painful and helpless.
He suffered heavy punishment on his body, and before he could fully recover, he received a heavy blow on his mind. He felt like he was on the brink of collapsing…
“Don’t worry, I have a plan…” Leia said meaningfully.
After listening to Leia’s plan, Liam’s furrowed brows finally relaxed a bit.
At that moment, Geronimo came to his room. Geronimo seemed extremely proud, like a victorious general.
“Son, how are you doing? Are you disabled yet?”
He spoke to Liam with a smile. He was obviously in a good mood.
Liam’s expression was cold. He did not even want to take one look at Geronimo. “Thanks to my father’s mercy, I’m still breathing.”
‘Tsk tsk, sounds like you’re still angry with me. I did it for your own good. As my son, you can have any woman you want. Why do you have to go after a divorcee?”
“Fortunately, the divorcee has some conscience in her. She raised enough money to pay back your debt with the bank. In a way, it shows that you’re indeed my son. You have some charm…”
Geronimo proudly patted Liam’s shoulder.
19 H
There were still some deep whiplash marks on Liam’s shoulder, so Liam immediately winced in pain.
Leia instantly spoke up for her brother. She said angrily, “Dad, Liam has been courting Flossie for years. Now that he finally managed to open up Flossie’s heart a little, you… smashed everything into pieces and made them cut off all contact! How can you be so cruel? You’re even more cruel than the people who broke up Romeo and Juliet!”
“And I’m surprised you still know that he’s your son. You were threatening to kill him! Sure enough, everything changes when the money arrives. It appears other people were right to call our Osborne family a nouveau riche; we change our attitude the moment we see money!”
“Shut up, you brat! You just have to argue with me every single day, don’t you!”
Geronimo’s face flushed red after being scolded by Leia, but he was too fond of his little girl to really get mad. Instead, he happily said, “What I’m doing is hitting two birds with one stone. Not only did I help your brother solve his financial crisis, I also helped him sever a bad relationship. You two are still too green behind the ears to understand my profound paternal love…”
After that, he turned to Liam again with a rather serious expression and said coldly, “I believe your sister has already explained the situation to you. If you dare to get involved with that divorcee again, she’ll be the one paying the price.”
Liam snorted. The look he gave Geronimo contained no respect, only disappointment and indifference. “Can you tell me why? You’ve always let me do whatever I wanted. Why must you take a hard stance in this matter? Why is any woman in the world okay but not Flossie?”
“If you want to know, I’ll make it clear to you today…”
Geronimo took a deep breath. His gaze became extremely cold. “First, the Osborne family can accept a poor daughter-in-law, but not a second-hand product that was swept out of someone else’s house. Second, even if the Osborne family were to take in a second-hand product, they can’t be a second- hand product abandoned by the Guajardo family. Third, Flossie Ellsworth is a woman who brings tragedy. She carries a curse. The Osborne family can’t risk getting wiped out.”
“If you’re just fooling around, I can still turn a blind eye, but you’ve clearly fallen for her hard. If I let you have your way, the Osborne family will be destroyed in your hands. I have to keep her away from you!”
‘That’s bullshit!”
Liam was naturally unconvinced. He was about to argue with Geronimo further when he saw Leia give him a wink.
He thus took a deep breath to suppress his anger and told Geronimo, “But since it’s come to this, I can promise you that I’ll cut all ties with Flossie and stop seeing her, but… I have a condition.”
Geronimo felt that his good-for-nothing son finally grew a bit of brain. It seemed like he had not gone crazy yet. Geronimo quickly said, “What’s the condition? I’m all ears. If it’s not too ridiculous, I don’t mind granting your request.”
“Over the past few years, Flossie and I have spent a lot of time together, especially on the Azure Group which we started together. To be more precise, she spent a lot of time and effort on the Azure Group, while we merely paid for it. If I really were to sever my relationship with her, the problem of the Azure Group’s ownership must be made clear. It will either belong to me or to her.”
Liam paused for a moment to study Geronimo’s expression before he said tentatively, “If it goes to me, then I’ll have to pay her compensation. If it goes to her, I’m too ashamed to ask her for money, so…”
Geronimo waved dismissively. “It’s just a stupid company. I heard it’s been sustaining losses every year. It doesn’t have a good prospect. As long as you promise not to get involved with her anymore, she can have the company.”
In Geronimo’s opinion, the Azure Group was just a small project started by his hopeless romantic son to impress a woman. Although the Osborne family paid for the starting capital and held 80% of the company shares, they were negative assets. The sooner they got rid of those shares, the less losses they would sustain.
‘You’re okay with this, but Laura is the Azure Group’s third largest shareholder. Would she agree to it?”
Liam let out a long sigh and said anxiously, “If Laura doesn’t sell her shares, the Osborne family will continue to be involved with the Azure Group, so how can I make a clean break with Flossie?”
“Leave Laura to me. I’ll persuade her. I don’t understand why she would waste her time on a company that loses money every year anyway.”
Geronimo’s disdain towards the Azure Group was obvious.
Liam secretly exchanged glances with Leia. They both felt relieved.
When Flossie left the Osborne Mansion, it was already late at night.
She originally wanted to go straight home, but for some reason, she drove around aimlessly and found herself at the Guajardo Villa.
She lived in this place for four years. It was home for her and Halston.
However, she was probably the only one who viewed this house as a ” home”. The master of the house, Halston, visited less frequently than he visited his hotel room. To him, it was not really a “home” at all!
Flossie thought that, after she left and Halston passed away, the villa would become deserted. She could not help but feel sad thinking about it.
But to her surprise, a light was turned on in the villa. The figure of a tall man could even be seen at a window on the second floor!
