Chapter 133 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Flossie looked up and smiled bitterly. “Sure, go ahead. Come back to me once he’s dead.”

Flossie was only joking. She knew full well that Liam might look like a rebel, but he was way smarter than he looked and wouldn’t do anything rash.

To her shock, Liam picked up a wine bottle and began walking furiously toward Halston’s table…

Flossie gasped. She was afraid that Liam might actually lose control and beat Halston up. There were so many people around, and they were both from respectable families – it wouldn’t look good if anything happened.

Flossie quickly stood up to drag Liam back, but Leia stopped her. “Don’t worry, Flossie, you know my brother won’t do anything stupid. Just wait and see.”

“You’re right…” Only then did Flossie sit down.

Liam was Master Osborne, a famous elite in Beach City. He was known for his intelligence, and many bigshots had been punished by him for misbehaving. He definitely wouldn’t do anything stupid!

When Halston saw Liam walking over, his expression remained blank and he acted as if he couldn’t even see Liam.

Xavier, who was much more straightforward, stood up and glared at Liam.” What’s your problem?” He asked in an unfriendly tone.

Liam smiled. “No need to get riled up, mate, I mean no harm. On the contrary, since you’re all older, I’ve always looked upto you. Fate brought us together today, so I was thinking of having a few drinks together and making some new friends.”

Xavier was very annoyed. ’Don’t make it sound like we’re that much older. We’re barely a few years apart.”

On the other hand, Christopher was much friendlier. He pointed at the empty seat next to him. “Master Osborne, you have a good reputation. You’ve managed to elevate the Osborne family to greater heights, and my father always has good things to say about you. I’ve long wanted to make your acquaintance. Please take a seat.’

“Thank you, Mr. Jacobs. It’s my pleasure.” Liam sat next to Halston with the bottle of wine in his hand.

It was undeniably an awkward situation.

Everyone knew that Liam had been closest to Flossie after she and Halston got divorced. In fact, the two had even been photographed together at the gynecology department, and people suspected they were getting ready to have children together.

Now, Flossie’s ex-husband and current boyfriend were sitting next to each other… It felt somewhat like a battlefield.

Xavier continued to defend Halston. “Christopher, why are you being so nice? He’s Flossie’s boyfriend, and he probably made her cheat on Halston. It’s taking all my willpower to not beat him up!’

‘Don’t make jokes like that,” Christopher scolded Xavier, then turned to face Liam. “I’m sure you and Flossie are purely a couple. It’s not as complicated as we imagine, right?’

Liam chuckled. “You’re funny, Mr. Jacobs. We’re a couple… How can anything be pure? I’ve made my feelings for Flossie very obvious, and there’s nothing pure about it!”

After Liam said this, everyone looked at Halston. However, Halston took a sip of alcohol without saying anything. He didn’t seem to care at all.

“Christopher, you heard what he said. He’s clearly here to provoke us. I think you-” Xavier started heatedly, but stopped when Christopher sent him a warning glare.

Christopher might seem like a handsome and quiet person, but he was ten times more aggressive than Halston when he was angry.

Although the Jacobs family wasn’t one of the eight most powerful families in Beach City, the family had been involved in politics for generations. They had connections that spanned far and wide in the country’s politics, so he was definitely someone you didn’t want to piss off!

Since Christopher had welcomed Liam to the group, Xavier would be disrespecting Christopher if he kept threatening Liam.

Finally, Xavier decided he would just shut his mouth and watch the show!

Liam picked up two glasses and filled them up – one for him, and the other for Halston. “Here… a toast from me to you. Thank you for giving Flossie her freedom. It’s a new beginning for her, and she’s so much more confident than before. You’re a living saint!”

Liam downed his glass after saying that. He didn’t just say that to be polite – he really did mean every word. If Halston wasn’t such a jerk and forced Flossie to get divorced, she’d probably just be seen as ‘Halston’s wife’.

Halston looked at the glass Liam handed him, emotions whirling in him. Anyone could tell that Liam didn’t have good intentions, but deep down, he actually agreed with what Liam said.

To everyone’s surprise, Halston accepted the glass from Liam and chuckled. “Indeed… She’s changed after leaving me. She’s like a fish that’s returned to the ocean and a bird that’s taken off to the sky. She’s found her own haven.”

‘I thought a boring woman like her would suffer without the Guajardo family’s protection, and not many men would like her, but now…” Halston looked at Liam before shifting his gaze to his nephew, Julian. He then shook his head with a half-hearted smile. “She’s doing much better than I thought. I genuinely hope she can be happy.”

Liam nearly choked on his drink. He suddenly didn’t know what to say. He never expected that heartless man to say something so emotional… He sounded genuine too.

What Liam said next made him seem a little petty in comparison. “Well, Mr. Guajardo, you’re certainly very diplomatic. Flossie is doing great, and I bet there are people lining up all the way to Fraser just to pursue her. It’s a lot of pressure for me! However, you seem to be doing pretty good yourself…

You’ve only just ended things with Flossie, but you’ve already found yourself a new woman. It seems you change women like you change clothes!”

Liam thought Halston might deny it. From what he observed, Halston didn’t seem particularly close to this fake version of Flossie. They looked like strangers.

However, Halston pulled Shirley into his arms. “She’s very naive and adorable. I do like her.”

Everyone was shocked.

Although Xavier didn’t know why Halston was lying, he was loyal to him. “I bet you’re surprised. Halston can’t help it when he falls for someone… it was like love at first sight for these two!”

“Love at first sight?” Liam sneered. “Why does this girl look so much like Flossie then? Are you telling me you never fell for Flossie, but you fell for this fake version of her instead?”

Halston didn’t say anything. Xavier, on the other hand, did. He leaned over menacingly and growled, “I knew you were here to cause trouble. What is it you want?”

Liam laughed. “There’s no need to get riled up. I told you… I just want to have a few drinks. Do you have the guts to drink with me, Mr. Guajardo?”

Before Halston could answer, Xavier scoffed, “Why would Halston be afraid? I’m on your side, Halston. Drink until he drops!”

Halston rolled his eyes at Xavier. ‘Thank you for sending me into his trap.’

Liam filled two more glasses with alcohol. “Join me… if you dare.” Since Halston was brave enough to act like a scumbag in public, Liam felt what was doing was reasonable.

Flossie once told Liam that Halston wasn’t good at drinking, and that he was like an elementary school kid when it came to drinking games. That was why Liam had prepared a bottle of the strongest vodka he could find. He wanted to play a drinking game with Halston until he became drunk. Liam would then humiliate Halston and avenge Flossie.

Liam felt that Halston was a proud person. With some encouragement, he would certainly accept the challenge.

However, to Liam’s surprise, his plan didn’t work.

Halston didn’t plan on accepting the challenge at all. He stood up and turned to face Christopher and Xavier. “Something came up. I’ll catch you later.”

After that, he turned to Shirley. “Come with me.”

’Huh. I… Can I?” Shirley’s eyes were wide in disbelief. She was an ordinary college student, and it was her first time working in a bar as a part-timer. Everything that had happened tonight felt like a dream to her.
