Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
The reporters and influencers who were blocked outside the venue were all nobodies. They were an unscrupulous bunch who would do anything to get views. When they saw Flossie lose her temper, they got even more excited. They kept testing her patience, hoping that she would lose control.
Flossie was surrounded. She couldn’t move a single step. She clenched her fists and was ready to start beating people up.
A Maybach slowly pulled up. A handsome man in a suit got out of the car, escorted by security guards.
“Why are you guys bullying a weak woman like her? Come at me instead!”
The man who spoke was none other than Jovan, the protagonist of today’s press conference.
“It’s Jovan Guajardo, the rising star in the business world!”
“He’s rumored to take over the H Group, which means he’s about to replace Halston Guajardo as the new Supreme King of Beach City!”
‘They’re probably going to announce Halston Guajardo’s death today. That’s such an explosive piece of news. It feels like the entire world is watching right now. Whoever manages to report this hot topic first will earn enough money to retire!”
A crowd immediately switched target and surrounded Jovan instead.
The male influencer who was slapped by Flossie climbed back up and complained to the camera, “Weak woman? I’ve never seen a weak woman who can send a grown man flying with a slap! She’s clearly a female king kong!”
Flossie could finally heave a sigh of relief. Even the air around her felt much fresher now.
She smoothed her long flowing hair and walked casually towards the hotel entrance without any expression on her charming face.
“Wait for me!”
Jovan, who was currently surrounded, gave an order to the security guards to push away the annoying group of reporters and influencers. He then caught up to Flossie. He seemed to be in high spirits.
“I knew you would come today, but are you here for me or for Halston?”
Jovan lowered his head and smiled at Flossie while whispering at a volume that only the two of them could hear.
‘There’s no time to talk. I’m in a hurry.”
Flossie glared at him, obviously not interested in talking.
Jovan not only refused to shut up, he even put his long arm around Flossie’s shoulder and said with a smirk, “It doesn’t matter who you’re here for. After today, the whole world will know about my feelings for you. If anyone dares to touch you, they’ll be going up against the entire H Group. You’ll be mine sooner or later!”
Flossie felt a chill run down her spine. Looking at the arm on her shoulder, she warned, “Jovan, are you crazy? If you don’t want me to break your arm in public, don’t touch me!”
“I love how spicy you are! You’re fiery, you’re…”
“Enough!”
Before Jovan could finish his sentence, Flossie bent her arm and slammed her elbow into his stomach, causing Jovan to curl up like a shrimp from the pain. He immediately let her go.
Although he just got hit, he smiled happily like he just found money on the ground. “Hitting me is a public display of affection. Hit me harder to let the whole world see how much we’re in love.”
Flossie felt like throwing up. She’s got goosebumps all over. “You’re sick!”
But Jovan was right. Their interaction immediately caught the attention of everyone there. They felt like they had discovered a massive secret.
‘They’re acting so intimately. Looks like the rumors might be true. Jovan Guajardo has always been secretly in love with his cousin’s wife!”
“Rumor has it that the two of them were in love first. It was Halston who stole Flossie away from Jovan. And now, Jovan Guajardo has returned to take back his lover.”
“In that case, maybe those two were involved in Halston’s death… Tsk tsk, wealthy families are so scary!”
Flossie could not be bothered with their speculation. She walked straight into the hotel lobby.
The hotel decoration was grand and magnificent.
There was a podium adorned with the H Group’s logo. Various microphones with logos of television stations from around the world were placed on the podium. Reporters sat in chairs below the stage, while senior executives of H Group sat on the stage.
Flossie was not considered a senior executive of H Group, so she kept a low profile and chose a seat in the last row.
The same could not be said for Jovan. As soon as he entered, he was the center of attention. He received a warm welcome from the audience.
In addition to reporters, there were also representatives from other major companies and some wealthy tycoons. Flossie even saw Geronimo Osborne there.
After all, today’s press conference would affect the commercial landscape and the statuses of the major families in Beach City in the near future, so lots of big shots were invited. No one wanted to miss this wonderful show.
Flossie took out her phone from her bag before the press conference started to browse today’s top stories, but she immediately became furious!
The video of her slapping the influencer and the video of her “intimate exchange” with Jovan Guajardo at the hotel entrance were trending on various platforms.
All the comments were flaming her. Some claimed that she had an affair with Jovan. There were even comments that claimed she conspired with Jovan to murder her ex-husband for revenge!
“Are you kidding me?!”
Flossie was so angry that she felt like she was going to explode. She logged into a burner account and retaliated against the keyboard warriors.
‘You guys are all blind. Can’t you see that she was in a hurry? Those influencers are just online leeches. They pester her like flies in order to gain views. I think that guy got off easy with just a slap to the face. I would have kicked him!”
“Also, the woman was clearly very annoyed with Jovan Guajardo. How was that an intimate exchange? Are you guys sure your eyes are working fine?”
As a result, she invited waves of attacks upon herself.
Some even pointed out that this must be Flossie Ellsworth’s account. The netizens became even more excited in flaming her.
Flossie rolled up her sleeves. She wished she could jump into her phone to fight all these internet trolls.
“Flossie?!”
The surprised voice of a man came from above her head.
Flossie looked up, still filled with anger. It turned out to be her old friend Xavier Stuart whom she had not seen for four years!
Actually, Xavier could be considered her life savior. The flames of fury in Flossie’s heart were instantly extinguished.
“Xavier! You’re here too!”
Flossie was happy to see an old friend. She greeted him with a smile.
Xavier’s handsome face was filled with various emotions. He was shocked, he was surprised, but more than that, he was moved. Tears welled up in his eyes. “Flossie, you’re finally willing to show yourself again. I thought… I’ll never get to see you again!”
‘Tell me honestly, where have you been in the past four years? Halston and I searched almost every corner of the world but we couldn’t find any traces of you…”
Xavier sat down next to Flossie and asked.
“I was wondering who the person that has been constantly sniffing for my traces over the years was! That IP was like a virus, I intercepted it time and time again. So it was you… my savior.”
Flossie’s red lips curled into a smile as she looked at her old friend.
Who knew that there was still an old friend in the vast Beach City who still cared about her. She was touched.
