Halston smiled coldly, “After all, I know I’ve done you wrong. You’re free to retaliate in any way you want.”
“You really think I can’t touch you, Halston? Listen up, I won’t let it go this time. Since you dare to betray me, I’ll make you suffer!”
After saying that, Flossie grabbed the sprinkler from the man in the swimming pool and shot water at Halston’s handsome face.
“Aah!”
Everyone who witnessed it was shocked out of their wits!
They could not believe that someone would dare to be so disrespectful to Halston Guajardo.
Halston’s bathrobe and hair were soaked through. His face was in a mess, and he was also in pain.
However, he was not mad at all. Instead, he smiled. His long fingers combed through his wet hair. After being washed, his handsome face became even more dazzling in the sunlight. “Is that your retaliation? So childish.”
“Of course it’s not just this. This is just the appetizer. The main dish is yet to come. Wait for it!”
After that, she threw away the sprinkler and smashed the banquet venue like a crazy woman before leaving the hotel.
The hotel manager wanted to rush forward to ask for compensation, but he was stopped by Halston.
Halston said coldly, “Leave her be. I’ll pay for all the damages.”
When Seraphina saw that Flossie was gone, she climbed out of the swimming pool and came to Halston’s side. She said a bit apologetically, “I didn’t expect her to react so strongly. Should I catch up to her and explain?”
“If you had any intention of explaining, none of this would have happened, would it?”
His cold, emotionless words were completely devoid of any affection.
“Halston, you hate me, don’t you?”
Seraphina rubbed her fingers and said with a pained expression, “Do you know how much I had to go through to calm my father down? All I ask for is to date you for three months. After three months, the grudge between the Guajardo family and the Murphy family will be wiped clean. You can still go back to your darling wife then. Is that such a big sacrifice for you?”
“A conflict between the Guajardo family and the Murphy family is inevitable. It can’t be avoided even if I make compromises for three months. The reason why I agreed is because you promised not to hurt Flossie…”
Halston gave her a threatening gaze and warned, “After three months, if you don’t destroy all those things cleanly, the entire Murphy family will go down with you, I guarantee you that.”
Those words angered Seraphina. She lost control and shouted at Halston, “Do you really love that woman so much that you would risk your career and the Guajardo family’s interests for her?!”
“I don’t care, so you better not try me.”
“Hahaha, these words are like a slap to my face. Each word reminds me of my foolishness. I’m much more of a fool compared to you. I risked the future of the Murphy family for a man who doesn’t even love me and for three months of lies.”
“Yes, you’re indeed foolish. You’ve depleted every last bit of affection I had for you.”
“In that case, there’s no turning back…”
Seraphina hugged his neck and leaned against him. “Since you promised to date me for three months, you’ll have to perform your duty as a man!”
After Flossie left the hotel, she continued to run amok along the seaside.
Weather at the seaside was always unpredictable. It was sunny earlier, but it suddenly rained cats and dogs in the blink of an eye.
Flossie was completely drenched.
Jovan propped up his umbrella and followed behind her. He jokingly said, “God is so good to my cousin Halston. He refused to let Halston suffer any injustice. You just gave Halston a cold shower, and now you’re already suffering the payback.”
“Get lost!”
Flossie did not even spare him a glance. She held herself and said crossly, “I’m in a bad mood. If you don’t want to die, shut up!”
“You can sulk in my car. Why sulk in the rain? Do you think you’re filming a drama? Besides getting sick, how does it benefit you?”
Jovan suddenly exclaimed, “Halston? What are you doing here?”
When Flossie heard that, she immediately stopped her rampage. She snatched Jovan’s umbrella from him, lifted her chin, and stood straight.
Even if she was sad, she would only be sad in secret. She would never let the scumbag see her sad…
She posed for a few minutes but did not see anyone or any car coming over. She asked with a confused expression, “Where’s the scumbag?”
“Pffthahaha!”
Jovan burst into laughter. “My good sister-in-law, you’re the cutest and proudest woman I’ve ever met…”
“? ? ?”
“You can stop posing now. I was just bluffing. He must be sitting in a warm presidential suite right now, drinking coffee and getting intimate with Seraphina. There’s no way he would be out here in the heavy rain.”
“You bastard! How dare you prank me!”
Flossie was angry to begin with. Now that she had been pranked, she became even angrier. She was so mad that she grabbed Jovan and beat him up. “Are all the men in the Guajardo family sick in the head? Why do all of you like to deceive me so much? You really think the Ellsworth family is an easy target for bullying? I’ll beat you to death!”
Her fighting skills were top-notch, and coupled with the fact that she was angry, Jovan ended up getting beaten like a human sandbag. What’s worse, he was a human sandbag in a heavy rain. It was truly a tragic sight.
Their clothes were all soaking wet by now. Jovan had fallen to the ground due to Flossie’s beating, so he simply lay flat on the ground and let Flossie do whatever she wanted with him. “C’mon, hit me! If it makes you feel better, you can hit me as much as you want…”
“Come on, don’t show me mercy just because I’m good-looking, baby!”
His words sent a chill down Flossie’s spine. She immediately lost the desire to keep hitting him.
She squatted down like a deflated ball. The red umbrella sat upside down next to her like a rose pelted by the rain, beautiful and fragile.
*Sob sob*
Flossie could not hold the tears back anymore. She hugged her legs and bawled her eyes out in the rain.
The heavy rain was the best cover she could have asked for. It covered up the sound of her crying and it covered up her tears. Thanks to that, she looked less embarrassing and less pathetic…
“Alright, alright, I’m sure you feel better now after giving me a good beating. Let’s go back to the car. If we continue to stay in the rain, we’ll both catch a cold…”
Jovan finally behaved seriously. He picked up the umbrella and held it above Flossie’s head.
The scene was strangely aesthetic. You would usually only see something like this in a drama.
While that was happening, Halston was actually sitting before a french window in one of the presidential suites of the hotel, watching them with cold eyes.
His heart was so painful. Jealousy washed over him, almost causing him to lose control.
“Regretting it already?”
Seraphina leaned against him while holding a glass of red wine and said with a smirk, “Although your cousin is useless, he’s a charming person. He’s good with women. A passionate woman like Flossie Ellsworth can never withstand such a seductive man.”
“There’s nothing to regret.”
