Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
After a while, she came across a photo that surprised her. “That’s impossible! How could you have this…”
It was a photo of a full moon, hanging in the dark night sky as bright as a piece of jade. It was the exact same one that the stranger sent to her that night!
So Halston really was “Mr. Moon“?!
Flossie was stunned.
She could not understand why Halston Guajardo, the heir of a prestigious family and the CEO of a multinational company, would use a burner account to send a picture of a moon to his ex–wife in the middle of the night?
While she was still stunned, Halston took the opportunity to seize his phone back. He immediately locked it. His cold eyes. glared at her with an intense pressure as he said, “Don’t look at things that you shouldn’t be looking at!”
Flossie’s mind was in a mess.
She already found it bizarre that Halston would secretly take her picture. Now she found out that he had used a burner account to add her as a friend on WeChat. That was not just bizarre, it was scary!
“You… are you really Mr. Moon?”
Flossie asked him again because she could not believe it.
She could not figure out why he would want to chat with her using a burner account.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
His voice was cold, as if Flossie was talking nonsense.
“There’s no way you don’t know what I’m talking about. The picture in your gallery is exactly the same as the one Mr. Moon sent me…”
“The moon is the moon. It looks the same everywhere!”
Halston retorted, unperturbed.
“You…!”
Halston’s reply rendered Flossie speechless.
“Fine. You won’t admit it? I’ll make you admit it.”
Flossie took out her phone, opened up WeChat, found Mr. Moon’s profile picture, and clicked on the video call button.
Halston’s phone immediately rang.
“So?”
Flossie raised her phone and smiled triumphantly.
Halston remained as calm as a mountain. He said coldly. “So what if it was me? Xavier taught me the techniques of courting women, so I experimented with you. I didn’t expect you to be so chatty. You confided everything to a stranger. It wasn’t even challenging.”
Flossie was about to lose it.
She recalled the way she had told everything to “Mr. Moon” night after night. She recalled the dependence she formed on him. and the sense of security she found in him… She felt so humiliated that she wanted to slap herself in the face!
“You’re crazy, Halston Guajardo!”
She was extremely furious, and a large part of that was due to her being ashamed of herself. She quickly walked away with Jane.
–
Halston stared at Flossie’s disappearing back. He stayed where he was and did not chase after her.
Hah. That’s right, Halston Guajardo, you might actually be crazy.
Flossie was not the only one who could not understand why he did that. He himself could not understand why he did that. He must be crazy!
Flossie took Jane back to Professor Wood’s house.
Professor Wood had prepared a table of food. When he saw that only the two of them had come back, he asked curiously. “Only you two? Where’s Mr. Guajardo? I thought he went out for a walk with you? Why didn’t you come back together?”
“He died!”
Flossie was still mad.
She turned on her phone to delete Mr. Moon from her friend list, but in the end, she simply could not do it.
Looking through the chat history between them, his words seemed indifferent at first, but he was actually showing concern for her… She did not know how to feel about that!
Professor Wood could guess that they must have had an argument. He sighed and said, “Both of you are outstanding individuals and are strong in your own right. That’s why your relationship is bound to be bumpy.”
“There’s no relationship. We’ve already divorced!”
Professor Wood laughed and said meaningfully. “Emotions aren’t stagnant. It has nothing to do with marriage. Didn’t you want to know why Mr. Guajardo was here looking for me? I can tell you now…
Flossie’s interest was piqued. She looked at Professor Wood expectantly, holding her chin like a student.
Professor Wood pushed his glasses up and told her the truth, “Mr. Guajardo came today to discuss with me his intention to acquire half of the management rights of BC University…”
“What? He wants to acquire BC University?”
Flossie was still emotional and felt that it was ridiculous. “BC University is one of the top public universities in the country. especially its engineering majors. It’s a well–known university even on a global scale. Halston actually dares to mess with a public university?!”
Professor Wood shook his head and said, “No, no, how can you call it messing with us? He’s doing it so that BC University would have a brighter future. You know how it’s like for public universities these days. With limited funding for scientific research, many experimental projects have not made any progress for years…”
“If the H Group really acquires half the management rights of BC University, it would make BC University a semi public and semi private university. BC University will not have to worry about scientific research funding anymore and still maintain its authority. Isn’t that the best of both worlds?”
What Professor Wood said sounded reasonable. It must be a very persuasive proposal for the staff and students of BC
University.
But Flossie knew Halston very well.
He was a businessman through and through.
Since he was a businessman, he would never do a losing trade. There must be a deeper conspiracy behind the massive funding!
