Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Ever since Flossie was sexually assaulted, she had never shown herself, so Shelley and the other employees in the company were all worried about her. They all wondered what was going on with her.
Shelley had kept her mouth shut. She did not tell anyone about what happened to Flossie for the sake of Flossie’s reputation.
Flossie gave Shelley a little smile and joked, ‘ Why? Are you afraid that I might run away without paying your salary?”
‘That’s not it. All the employees that remained are loyal to you. Even if you don’t pay us, we’re willing to help you forge your business empire. We’re simply worried that something bad might have happened to you…”
“Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine.”
‘Thank goodness…”
Shelley hesitated. She seemed like she had something to say, but she ended up not say anything.
Flossie glanced at Shelley, puzzled by her strange behavior.
“If you have something to say, just say it. You know I like people who speak their mind.”
Flossie looked a bit displeased as she tried to pressure Shelley to speak up.
Shelley thus took a deep breath and said, “I actually wanted to ask what happened between you and Mr. Guajardo afterwards.”
“He seemed really worried about you that day. He didn’t seem as cold and ruthless as the rumors say. He was also the one who insisted on returning to save you, otherwise… things would have been really bad.”
This was actually a private matter between the bosses, so as a lowly employee, it was not her place to gossip.
But due to her position, she witnessed the whole thing between them! She’s itching to get some information out of Flossie!
“Halston Guajardo? Save me?”
Flossie was bewildered.
After drinking the rapist’s spiked drink, she had no memory of being brought to the underground parking lot, so she naturally did not know that it was Halston who saved her.
“Yes! Don’t you remember? That night, after you suddenly disappeared from the elevator, we looked long and hard for you but to no avail, so the police suggested that we go back to the police station to lodge a report first and wait for them to investigate further. However, along the way, Mr. Guajardo suddenly asked the driver to turn back, saying that you’re still in the parking lot!”
“And then?” Flossie could not help asking. She seemed a bit surprised.
“And then Mr. Guajardo found you in a deep basement in the underground parking lot. The police caught the rapist and thus solved a serial drug rape case which occasionally involved murder. Anyway… if it weren’t for Mr. Guajardo, it would have been really bad for you!”
The memories of that night still gave Shelley shivers.
“Who could have thought that a frail and well-mannered programmer like that would have such a dark and twisted mind. He committed dozens of crimes in that building without being discovered. If it weren’t for Mr. Guajardo’s quick wit, who knows how many more innocent women would have fallen prey to him!”
‘That… happened?”
After listening to Shelley’s story, Flossie’s emotions were complicated.
She did not expect to be saved by Halston, the guy she detested, once again.
“I heard when the rapist was caught, he had already been beaten to a pulp with multiple broken bones in his body. Later on, when he was in the detention center, he cut off his own dick. Honestly, I definitely don’t think he castrated himself; I think Mr. Guajardo hired someone to do it. After all, the rapist actually tried to lay a hand on Mr. Guajardo’s woman. He got off easy with just a castration!”
Shelley’s admiration for Halston was obvious. She asked again, “Miss Ellsworth, were you moved by Mr. Guajardo’s actions? Have you been busy rekindling your relationship with him these days?”
“No way!”
Flossie denied it vehemently. “I haven’t seen him at all in the last few days. I don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.”
‘You don’t, but Mr. Guajardo definitely does. We could all tell that he has special feelings for you.”
‘That’s his business. It has nothing to do with me.”
Flossie put aside her chaotic thoughts. She refused to let her mood be affected by people who were not worth it.
She asked Shelley with a serious expression, ’Have you read all the documents I gave you?”
‘Yes, Miss Ellsworth.”
“Do you know what our task today is?”
“I do!”
Shelley answered confidently, “To take back the Ellsworth Residence from Rubio Pascal!”
Flossie said coldly, ’Rubio Pascal is a man in his forties. Using the Pascal family’s influence in Beach City, he bribed the Urban Planning Department to turn the high-end residential area where the Ellsworth Residence is into a sewage and waste treatment plant! He’s crazy!”
‘Yeah, everyone in Beach City knows that residential area is one of the best living spaces in Beach City. The air quality there is so good that it made it onto national TV once as an example for other cities to learn from. The people in the Urban Planning Department must be out of their minds! How can they pollute such a good plot of land?”
Shelley spoke with righteous indignation.
She viewed that residential area as a paradise. She could not accept such a beautiful place being destroyed for a bit of profit.
“Don’t worry, Miss Ellsworth. Today, we’ll make sure Rubio Pascal knows that we’re not to be taken lightly!”
Shelley was prepared for war.
Flossie asked, “Do you know what’s the deal with that Rubio Pascal guy?”
“I know that the Pascal family is one of the eight major families of Beach City. Rubio Pascal himself is known as a huge pervert. I heard he likes to torture underage girls to absorb their youth and vitality for himself!”
Anyone who paid attention to Beach City’s high society had heard of those rumors.
“Aren’t you scared, then?”
“I am, but as your subordinate, no matter how scared I am, I have to be brave! Besides… I’m over 18, so that pervert wouldn’t be interested in me. You’re also much more beautiful than me, so I have no reason to be afraid.”
“Haha, what a brave girl. As expected of the assistant I hand-picked. I believe in you.”
Flossie had already discussed with Shelley the plan to deal with Rubio Pascal.
After more than an hour’s drive, they finally arrived at the Pascal Manor.
The manor was located far from the city center. It was grand and magnificent, like a beautiful castle, but for many women, it was the devil’s den that struck fear into their hearts…
Their car was stopped at the front gate by a muscular security guard.
“Who are you? What business do you have here?”
Flossie slowly rolled down the car window. Her bright eyes as alluring as a fox’s, she said seductively, “Hi, we have an appointment with Mr. Pascal. Can you let us in?”
When the security guard’s eyes met with Flossie’s, his body went numb like he had been electrocuted.
He shook his head to try and snap himself out of it, then asked, “Does Mr. Pascal have an appointment today? Why wasn’t I notified?”
“I’m not sure, but Mr. Pascal did ask us to come here. Do I look like I’m lying?”
