Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
This was also the first time in his life he had felt so powerless.
He had always been able to deal with women easily, but he was powerless against Flossie!
“Isn’t that to be expected? Think of all the things you did to her. If I were her, I wouldn’t give you the time of day either.”
The thought of that made Francine give Halston another whip of the cane.
Halston said pitifully, “Mom, you too?…”
“What? I’m on the side of justice. Bad guys like you need to be taught a lesson!”
Francine turned around and told the two kids, “Watch me, kids, I’m going to give him pain!”
At the same time, she lowered her voice and told Halston, “Don’t worry, I’ll find a way to help you win her back. I’m your mother after all, so I have to help you.”
This time, Francine was not faking it. The cane struck Halston with a loud crack.
“Ouch!”
Halston could not remain stoic anymore. He complained, “You’re doing it for real?! Stop!”
“Of course I’m doing it for real. If I don’t teach you a tough lesson, you’ll make the same mistakes again in the future. My precious grandchildren won’t be able to see our sincerity either… So just grit your teeth and endure it. Also, you should groan once in a while to make the kids sympathize with you.”
Francine gave out thoughtful advice while whipping Halston.
“Makes sense.”
Halston agreed with Francine’s plan. He started groaning and screaming.
“Ah, it hurts!”
“Ah, I’ve learned my lesson!”
“Ah, I’m gonna die if you keep hitting me!”
Children were naive and innocent, so as long as he kept acting pitiful, they would forgive him in no time.
However… Flossie was not a child and she was extremely clever, so this trick would definitely not work on her!
Flossie finished making lunch and brought the delicious dishes to the dining table. She then heard the groaning and screaming from outside the villa.
It sounded like Halston’s voice, but how could the Great Demon King make that kind of sound?!
Flossie walked out of the villa with much curiosity.
She immediately saw Francine whipping Halston with a cane while Halston pleaded for mercy.
Umm…… It was not a pretty sight.
Adie and Abby watched on with great interest, They had clearly fallen for the superb acting skills of Francine and Halston.
When they noticed Flossie, they beckoned to her excitedly.
“Mommy, come here! Come here! The fairy godmother is going ham! Finally, someone’s teaching Bad Daddy a lesson!”
Abby grabbed Flossie’s hand and dragged her over, worried that she might miss out on the show.
“Uhhh…”
Flossie felt a little awkward. She did not know how to deal with the situation.
Her former mother-in-law was beating up her ex-husband, while her son and her daughter were enjoying the show?!
Should she pretend to be concerned and talk Francine out of it or should she join in and watch the show together with her children?
“Flossie, my good daughter-in-law! Long time no see!”
Francine smiled from ear to ear as she greeted Flossie while hitting Halston.
Halston was pretty immersed in the act, but when he saw Flossie, he immediately reverted back into an iceberg.
No matter how hard Francine’s cane hit him, his face remained cold and indifferent. He did not even let out so much as a groan, as if he felt nothing.
“Brat, you were doing so well, why did you stop? Keep acting miserable or your wife won’t sympathize with you!”
Francine lowered her voice and growled at Halston.
“……”
Halston pursed his lips and kept as quiet as a statue.
He could bleed and he could break a bone, but he could not lose the image of a dignified man in front of Flossie!
Flossie stood next to Adie and Abby. She stared at Halston and Francine with a puzzled expression for a while before asking weakly, “What are you doing?”
“The bad guy’s mommy is teaching him a lesson so that he wouldn’t bully you again. I think… she wasn’t hitting him hard enough. They look a bit like they’re acting.”
Adie remarked expressionlessly.
“No way! Bad Daddy cried really miserably just now. He seemed to be in real pain. It didn’t look like an act to me.”
Abby pouted and retorted foolishly.
Seeing his proud son stop cooperating even when she kept hitting him, Francine could only give up and think of another solution.
“My dear daughter-in-law, I heard this brat bullied you so I gave him a hard beating, but I don’t think it’s enough punishment, so take this cane and let out any anger or resentment you have. I promise he won’t dodge or retaliate!”
She stuffed the cane in Flossie’s hand.
“Isn’t this… a little inappropriate?”
Flossie looked at the thick cane in her hand, then at the tall and handsome man standing in front of her, unsure of what to do.
“Why would it be inappropriate? You’re my rebellious son’s wife, so if you see him with any bad habits or if he makes any mistake, don’t hesitate to give him a tough beating to educate him. That’ll teach him a lesson so that he’ll be good and won’t make you mad again.”
Francine said righteously.
“No, thanks. I don’t have the ability nor the obligation to educate him. I’ll just educate my own children. I want to have nothing to do with him ever again.”
Flossie guessed that Francine must have figured out the identities of Adie and Abby by now, or she would not have chastised her precious son like this to try and soften Flossie’s heart.
Unfortunately, when it came to the children, it did not matter whether they used a soft or hard approach, the matter was non-negotiable!
“I’ve made lunch. You guys can stay for lunch if you want.”
