Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Of course, I don’t think you’re a kind man.
If you were, you wouldn’t have fooled me again and again.
You even secretly moved Joanne somewhere else without telling me.
I’m only returning the favour… Wouldn’t want you to get bored now, would we?” Flossie looked at the broken things on the floor and faked a smile as she said teasingly, “Hmm, Miss Murphy certainly has an… interesting taste in things.
An ashtray, a pencil holder, a coffee machine, a cushion… what cheap things she gave you.
Is the Master Guajardo who’s worth billions so easily won over?’ Elijah covered his face and stifled a groan, his lips twitching.
‘Mrs. Guajardo is willingly throwing herself under the bus in the name of pettiness.’ “What the hell do you know?” Halston hissed, his grip around her jaw tightening as he said icily, “The things that Seraphina bought me were exactly what I needed.
I used them daily, and every time I did, I would think about her and love her even more… A materialistic woman like you would never understand that kind of simple love.” Elijah could no longer bear to listen to their argument, and carefully said to Halston, “Mr. Guajardo, is it possible that you’re mistaken? Maybe it was Miss Ellsworth who bought some of these things for you?
Halston glared at Elijah and demanded, “What do you mean? Why would she buy me things?” “Well, it was Miss Ellsworth who bought these…’ “Ahem, ahem!” Seeing that Elijah was about to let the cat out of the bag, she immediately interrupted him.
She then looked at Halston and said quickly, “Mr. Guajardo, you’re very smart.
You know I wouldn’t buy you something unless I had an ulterior motive.” “Hmph, you know yourself well,” he scoffed in disdain.
When he looked at the mess all over the floor, he said icily, “Buy me these things again, and I’ll let you off the hook.” That was his final compromise.
If he had not lost control and wronged her the night before, he would never have forgiven her this easily.
“Fine, I’ll buy them for you.
These aren’t expensive, after all, so I can easily afford them,’ Flossie sneered.
After all, she was the one who gave him those things, so it was easy for her to buy them again.
“But Master Guajardo, you should also do something to quell my anger, right?” Halston narrowed his eyes.
“Although you have no right to negotiate, I’ll give you a chance to tell me what you want since you did something to make me happy.” “It’s very simple… just tell me where you moved Joanne to.
You know she’s very important to me, and you promised to tell me the things that happened between Joanne and my brother.
Don’t break your promise.” “Joanne is now recuperating at Holy Hospital, which has top-notch facilities that should help her recover faster.
As for what happened between your brother and Joanne…’ Halston glanced at Elijah and ordered,” Leave.” “Okay, Mr. Guajardo.” Elijah nodded and retreated.
Now, Flossie and Halston were the only ones left in the office.
Halston glanced at the office chair that was full of glass shards and frowned.
Flossie realized the issue and immediately went forward to clean the glass shards.
She then said to Halston flatteringly, “Mr. Guajardo, please sit.’ Halston’s frown deepened, and he looked at her hand in concern.
’Is your hand all right?” “I’m fine.
It’s just a bit of glass, it can’t do anything to me.
Let’s get to the point.” Flossie looked at Halston, eager to learn the truth.
Halston shook his head, his gaze complicated.
“I can tell you the truth, but I’m not sure if you can handle it.” “Don’t beat around the bush.
Hurry up!” Flossie’s patience was wearing thin, so she smacked the table and urged him.
‘Damn it, if this guy delays again, I’m going to lose my mind.
Forget about breaking his coffee machine, I might just break his head!’
Halston knew that he could no longer keep the incident a secret.
He stared at Flossie, his gaze contemplative.
‘What do you think of Quinton?” He asked finally.
Flossie thought about it for a while, then said objectively, “I know that Quinton did a lot of crazy things.
He isn’t a good guy, but he’s not an evil villain either.
He usually made extreme choices because he was forced to- he just wanted to survive.
Carmine Pawnshop only made it because they had to resort to a lot of illegal things, but these were usually done in the open sea which was under no one’s jurisdiction.
Hence, the police couldn’t do anything about it.” “Well, you certainly know how to find excuses for him.
I suppose that since you can empathise with a villain, you’re probably hiding your own dark side, ” Halston said with a smirk, raising an eyebrow lazily.
Flossie was speechless for a while, then sneered, “Yes, my brother and I are villains with dark sides, but you’re not so good yourself either, Mr. Guajardo.
You tricked a woman to get what you want and win, so you obviously have a dark side too.” “You think I tricked and fooled Joanne? She says I saved her.” “Saved her?” Flossie scoffed incredulously and rolled her eyes.
“Do you know how close my brother and Joanne were? They grew up together and were like siblings, and my brother adored her greatly.
If you didn’t appear, she would be happy.” “A good relationship? Siblings?” Halston shook his head as if he was mocking Flossie’s naivety and ignorance.
“I can only say that the Night Demon is very good at acting… Clearly, you haven’t seen his dark side yet.” Flossie bit her lip anxiously.
Something inside her was saying that she had found the key to the whole story.
She wanted to save Quinton, so she quietly said,” That’s why I’m asking you now… Tell me about my brother’s dark side.” Halston tilted his head slightly as he observed her.
He let out a soft sigh and explained, “Your brother did treat Joanne well, in fact, one could say that he would have given his life for her.
However, his relationship with her had long surpassed a normal sibling relationship… it became a pathological possessiveness.
As a result, Joanne led a very oppressed and painful life.
When she met me, she had tried to run away several times, but that crazy Quinton would always catch her and take her back, using various ways to tame and punish her…” 1 Halston trailed off and went silent.
He didn’t tell Flossie the details because he wanted her to process this information slowly.
However, despite his restraint, she still looked shocked.
“What did you say? A… pathological possessiveness?” Flossie shook her head in disbelief, her eyes wide.
“How is that possible? Quinton treated Joanne well, just like how he treats me! They supported each other since they were kids, and were like a ray of hope for each other.
Maybe they were a bit too close, but it couldn’t have been like that.
