‘ What kind of person he is?”
Flossie looked directly at Halston’s fierce eyes and gave him a mocking smile. “He’s a hacker. People pay him to do stuff. Isn’t that reasonable? What’s the problem?”
‘ But you… you would go to any length to protect your little lover, wouldn’t you? Including destroying evidence in secret. I think your personality is even shadier. You’re the one I should stay away from!” ft ft
Halston pursed his lips. He was rendered speechless again.
Flossie was right. In terms of shadiness, he was even shadier than Haze. What moral high ground did he have to criticize Haze’s character?
Haze looked at his watch and said with a smile on his face, “I’m sorry, Mr. Guajardo, but our flight is about to take off. Please make way. This is the first meeting between Miss Ellsworth and my parents. We wouldn’t want to be late.”
He was twisting the knife that had stabbed into Halston’s heart!
Halston was nigh bursting with anger and jealousy already. When he heard that, he could contain himself no longer. He grabbed Flossie’s wrist and declared his ownership of her. “This woman is already taken. She won’t be going with you!”
“Halston, what are you doing? Let me go!”
Flossie was embarrassed and tried hard to free herself from his grasp.
Halston held her even tighter, pulled her into his arms, and said forcefully, ‘I won’t let you go. You’re not allowed to go with him!”
“Who do you think you are?!”
There’s something wrong with this guy’s brain!
It’s none of his business whose parents she was meeting.
Flossie roared, “We’re divorced. I’m single now. You have no right!”
Halston said, “It’s true that we’re divorced, but you’re still my responsibility. I promised your grandpa to keep you safe for the rest of your life. This guy is just a hacker with no power and no wealth. He can’t give you happiness. I naturally can’t let you go with him.”
“What?”
No matter how hard Flossie racked her brain, she could not recall when her grandfather had ever said that.
Halston’s eyes were cold. He said arrogantly, “I’ll consider letting go of you if you find a man who’s comparable to me. I won’t let you go if the man is worse than me!”
Flossie:”…’
She had no idea how anyone could be this shameless.
Did he really think he’s the best in the world and no one could match up to him?
“Halston, you’re so full of yourself. Do you really think hackers are that poor? For all we know, his net worth may be much higher than yours. And he’s just as capable as you are!”
Flossie retorted.
“His net worth?”
Halston sneered. Like an immature elementary school kid, his competitive desire was aroused. “Then why don’t your hacker friend and I compare our net worth?”
Flossie said, “That’s unfair! Your net worth was amassed by your entire family.”
The scene startled the passers-by at the airport.
Halston and Flossie were also surprised. They could not make heads or tails of the situation.
Haze’s eyebrows furrowed. He looked at the elderly man kneeling before him with some displeasure. “Uncle Wurst, didn’t I make it clear that I’ll board the plane myself when the time comes? Don’t make such a scene!”
The elderly man bowed his head in reverence, but said with some degree of forcefulness, “Young master, everybody’s waiting anxiously for you.
They’re worried that you might change your mind again, so they sent me to escort you back. I’ve already chartered the entire plane. Please cooperate with me!”
“Escort me?”
Haze rolled his eyes. “More like keeping an eye on me. After all these years, Grandpa is still so domineering. Was it any wonder that I ran away?”
“But this time, you don’t have to worry because I’m bringing his future granddaughter-in-law back with me. I wouldn’t run away halfway!”
Upon hearing that, Uncle Wurst’s eyes lit up. He immediately turned to Flossie. “I think this must be your future wife. You look dignified and charming, my lady. You look just like the ideal wife for the young master in the heart of Old Master Baldwin… No, in the hearts of the entire Baldwin family!”
“Wh-What?!”
Flossie felt extremely embarrassed. She could not help glaring at Haze with her sparkling eyes.
What was Haze doing? Why was his whole extended family notified of her arrival?
She felt like she had been put on the spot. She had no choice but to go now.
“The Baldwin Family?”
Halston’s eyes suddenly became sharp as they examined Haze.
It appeared this seemingly lackadaisical little hacker was not as simple as he looked!
“Yes, Mr. Guajardo.”
Haze nodded and the smile on his face deepened. He said, “The hegemon of Sutton City, Austin Baldwin, is my grandfather.”
“Are you…”
“I’m Justin Baldwin, the sole direct descendant of Austin Baldwin and the sole heir of the Baldwin family… My hacker identity. Haze, is just an alter- ego I created because I was bored!”
“It’s you!”
Upon hearing Haze’s self-introduction, Halston was shocked, but it made so much sense.
Everyone knew the Guajardo family in Beach City and the Baldwin family in Sutton City were equally matched hegemons. One of them occupied the east while the other occupied the west. They respected each other’s boundaries and did not interfere with each other.
Halston had always wanted to meet Justin Baldwin, who shouldered the same family responsibilities as him. Unfortunately, that guy was free and unrestrained and never cared about his family business. His whereabouts were often uncertain, so they had never been able to meet.
Surprisingly, this was how they met for the first time – through Flossie!
“Surprised, Mr. Guajardo?”
Justin, with both hands in his pockets, wore an easy smile on his face as always.
Unlike Halston, who was like an iceberg, he was relaxed and casual like a kid from next door, completely devoid of the airs of a prestigious family’s descendant.
“I thought that, considering the deep friendship between the Baldwin family and the Guajardo family, you must have investigated me thoroughly… After all, I’ve been living in your shadow ever since I was young. I’ve known who you are for a long time.”
Halston snorted coldly. “That means you’ve been scheming for a long time. You approached her with ulterior motives!”
“That’s not entirely true…”
