So, we need to focus on that and turn the public opinion.” The shareholders had brainstormed with the PR department to come up with this solution.
They were determined to ruin Carmine Pawnshop and arrest the Night Demon.
Halston rested his chin on his hands, and thought about it for a while.
Finally, he said, “Let’s take things slow for now.” “What?! Do you think we haven’t suffered enough?
“An inferior organization like Carmine Pawnshop is now stepping on us.
They just want to ruin us and let Azure Group take the top spot! If we take things slow now, it may cause H Group to suffer a great loss!” “Mr. Guajardo, you’re always wise, bold, and decisive.
Why are you suddenly being so generous? Is the Night Demon holding something against you?’ One shareholder sneered, but Halston was unfazed.
One of the shareholders said carefully, “Or rather, are you trying not to offend Miss Ellsworth? Even if you’re wrongly accused, you won’t fight back because you want to look good in her eyes… is that it?” Halston shot the shareholder a cold glare.
“None of you can comment on my decision.
Who’s the president here?” Everyone went silent, and lowered their heads in shame.
No one dared to say anything.
Meanwhile, Elijah heaved a sigh and walked out of the conference room.
He went over to Flossie and smiled apologetically.
’I’m sorry, Mrs. Guajardo, but the president is very busy at the moment.
He said that you can smash the building if you like.
You may stop after you’ve vented your anger.’ Flossie’s jaw dropped in shock, then anger filled her.
‘Oh, that scoundrel is asking for it! Is he trying to piss me off even more?!’ “So, he thinks I wouldn’t dare do anything to his precious H Group, huh? Fine then, I’ll let him witness firsthand what I’m capable of!” After that, she stormed off towards his office.
’I’ll start with his office, and only stop once he comes out!” Elijah followed her and said considerately, “Take your time, and don’t hurt yourself.
Do you need tools like a hammer or an axe? I can ask the staff to get it for you.” “Do you have a death wish, Elijah?” Flossie became even more angry, and her rage convinced her that she had to accept Halston’s challenge.
She burst into Halston’s large and opulent office, and looked around viciously.
He had many expensive decorations, and most of the ornaments there would easily cost thousands.
After a while, she finally decided on a plant pot that looked cheap.
She raised it high and growled threateningly to Elijah, “I’ll break it… I mean it.” Elijah folded his arms over his chest and nodded calmly.
“Do whatever that pleases you.” “Forget it, this Epipremnum aureum shouldn’t suffer because of that scumbag.
I’ll let it off the hook for now,” Flossie mumbled as she put the plant down and stared at Halston’s desk.
A computer, ashtray, and folders… What a boring man.
Making up her mind, she picked the ashtray up.
“I’m sure this isn’t cheap.
I’ll start with this!’ “Umm… you can’t smash that, Mrs. Guajardo.’ Elijah stopped her.
“Did you forget? You bought this for Mr. Guajardo.
It’s been so many years, but he’s still using it.
He’s rather fond of it, so if you break it, he’s going to be mad.” “Is that so? I’ll destroy this then!” Flossie hurled the delicate crystal ashtray at the floor, and it instantly shattered into pieces.
Halston had been using it for almost eight years, and now, it was nothing but dust
Fueled by her victory, Flossie happily went around breaking all the things she had bought for Halston.
After all, it should be fine since she was the one who had bought them.
“Now you’re done for, Mrs. Guajardo.
You broke all his favourite things, and I bet he’s going to be furious.
Why don’t you run away now? I fear the consequences might be dire.” “He’ll be furious?” Flossie finally stopped, breathing hard.
Grinning wickedly at Elijah, she said, “Well, that’s exactly what I’m hoping for.
He started it, so it’s only right that I end it.” Flossie looked around Halston’s office and pursed her lips contemplatively.’ Ugh, I can’t believe I bought so many things for that ungrateful turd.
I’m so tired that I can’t even break them all.’ Finally, her gaze landed on the coffee machine she bought him, and she walked overt? it.
Just as she lifted it up, Halston strode into the room.
He grabbed her wrist and sneered, “Are you done making a scene?” “Well, well… Master Guajardo finally joined the party.
I’ll stop then.” Flossie put the coffee machine down and smiled sweetly at him.
When Halston saw the broken things all over the floor, his eyes blazed in rage.
He glared at Elijah and snarled, “Did Medusa here turn you to stone? You just stood here and enjoyed the show?” Elijah immediately lowered his head and muttered reluctantly, “Mr. Guajardo, you were the one who said she could break things, right?” “I did say that but you know my limits! She smashed all the things Seraphina bought me.
I cherished those things, and you let her break them! ” Halston was clenching his fists, his face turning red in anger.
“I… I…” Elijah stammered.
He did not know how to explain that, so he glanced at Flossie for help.
After Halston had brain surgery, all his memories with Flossie somehow turned into memories with Seraphina.
Nobody dared to correct him because his head would hurt when he tried to recall the past, and they didn’t want him to lose his memory entirely.
Hence, everyone knew that Halston had mistaken Seraphina for Flossie, but they avoided the topic and just played along.
Even Flossie, the person involved, didn’t correct him.
She let him mistake Seraphina for her.
‘Yeah, I smashed the gifts Miss Seraphina bought for you.
Ask the police to arrest me if you’re so angry about it.” Flossie crossed her arms and said arrogantly.
Halston held her jaw and glared at her.
“Do you think I’m so kind that I wouldn’t do anything to you?” “Mr. Guajardo, you’ve got me all wrong.
