Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
The scenes were so passionate that she had no idea if they were real or just her imagination.
After all, when she sleepwalked, she could not differentiate between reality and fantasy.
“Ah, forget it.
Even if we did sleep together, it wouldn’t be the first time!” She couldn’t get an answer even after thinking about it, so she just decided to regard it as a colourful dream.
It was rather late, so Flossie quickly washed up and went out for breakfast.
After that, she shamelessly went to Halston and Seraphina’s room and rang the bell endlessly.
‘If Halston still refuses to tell me about my brother’s affairs with Joanne, there’s going to be trouble.’ However, there was no response despite her ringing the bell for a long time.
“That’s weird.
It’s almost ten o’clock, so they should be awake by now.
Were they up all night doing…” She let her imagination run wild, and wondered if they had died from exertion in the bedroom.
A female cleaner soon approached, and Flossie turned to her politely.
” Madam, hello.
Are you going to clean up this room?” “Yeah, the guests checked out very early, so I need to clean it up,” the cleaner replied and opened the door with a keycard.
“What?! They checked out?!” Flossie gasped in disbelief, and rushed into the room while the cleaner was distracted.
To her shock, it was empty.
Halston had fooled her again.
‘Damn it, that blasted man!’ She was furious.
To make matters worse, the hospital soon called her and informed her that Joanne had been transferred to another hospital.
When Flossie asked the doctor which one, he told her that he could not reveal its name or location.
“It must be Halston! He purposely moved Joanne to another place.” After the call, Flossie was seething with anger, and felt the urge to hack that man into pieces.
Without any delay, she took the earliest flight home.
At that moment, Halston was sitting with the executives of H Group, discussing how to reverse the declining stock markets.
Undeniably, the best solution was for him to reconcile with the Night Demon, but it seemed like their relationship had only gotten worse.
The latest report showed that someone had attacked Carmine Pawnshop out of the blue, making the latter’s new batch of treasure sink into the sea with the ship.
Chase, who had been responsible for the transport of the treasure, was missing too.
Everyone suspected that it was Halston, the president of H Group, who did it to take revenge on Quinton
’Halston!” Flossie roared as she barged into the headquarters of H Group angrily.
Immediately, everyone turned to her, but nobody dared to do anything because she was their president’s ex-wife.
At last, Elijah, Halston’s assistant, blocked her and said politely, “Mrs.Guajardo, Mr.Guajardo is having a meeting.
Please go and wait in the reception room.” “I’m not Mrs.
Guajardo! Don’t talk nonsense!” Flossie snapped and rolled up her sleeves menacingly.
“I’ll count to three, and if Halston doesn’t come out by then, I’m going to destroy this building.
One, two…” “Umm…” Everyone looked at each other in panic, not sure of what to do.
“It’s okay, Mrs.Guajardo, I’ll inform Mr.
Guajardo that you’re here,” Elijah said quickly.
He was aware of how violent Flossie was, so he decided to take the risk and inform Halston that she was here.
Although Halston was hard to deal with, he was much gentler than Flossie, so Elijah would rather face his wrath instead.
Halston was currently under pressure because Carmine Pawnshop’s treasure ship had been attacked.
It was not his doing, but now everyone claimed that it was him.
The media was condemning him, and even the shareholders of H Group unknowingly criticised his impulsiveness and ignorance of the company’s image.
“Mr.Guajardo, there’s an emergency.” Elijah opened the door of the conference room under the fierce glare of many superiors.
He then gestured for them to stop before he bowed and walked over to Halston.
“Miss Ellsworth is waiting for you outside.
She seems very angry, and even claimed that she’ll destroy H Group if you don’t meet her immediately.” Halston was not surprised at all, and smirked in interest.
“Let her do it then.” “Mr. Guajardo, I’m not kidding.
She’s perfectly capable of destroying this place,” Elijah protested, his face going pale.
“There are sixty-six floors here, so kindly remind her to destroy all of them.
If she gets tired, get some drinks and dessert for her.
Don’t let her tire herself out,” Halston said pleasantly.
Elijah and the shareholders were speechless.
Elijah took a deep breath.
He knew that he could not make Halston go and meet Flossie now, so he just nodded and said weakly, “Okay, I’ll tell her.
Just don’t forget that it was you who signed up for this.” After Elijah walked out of the conference room, Halston looked around calmly.
“Now… where were we? Do you want to collect evidence and ask the police officers to arrest the Night Demon in exchange for the public’s good impression of us? Is that how you want to improve H Group’s image?” “Yes, Mr. Guajardo.
That’s the best solution we came up with after endless discussions.” “Yeah, Carmine Pawnshop was established by relying on shady businesses.
Even though they’ve been doing things legally these past two years, I’m sure we’ll find something if we do a little digging.
That’s the only way to deal with unscrupulous organisations like this.” “Now the public thinks that you ruined the Night Demon’s face, and that he’s the victim here.
They’ve labelled you as a demon and forgot about how horrible that man really is.
