Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
He was the grandson of Timothy’s brother. Hence, he was considered Halston’s younger cousin. He had always been in charge of H Group’s foreign business, which left Flossie to wonder why he had suddenly returned to Beach City.
“Mr… Mr. Guajardo!”
Lisa and the other employees quickly bowed their heads, and they did not even dare to breathe as if they had just seen the grim reaper.
So, it was clear that Jovan was quite respected and influential in H Group even though he was always the second in command.
“Flossie, it’s been so many years. You look stunning…”
Jovan was wearing a dark, distinguished, and customized suit. He had both hands in his pockets as his gaze lingered on Flossie unscrupulously. He smirked and said, “As expected, young married women are more attractive and charming than unmarried ones.”
Hearing that, Liam quickly became infuriated. He stood in front of Flossie with his tall figure, warning Jovan with a cold expression on his handsome face, “Mr. Guajardo, please watch your tongue. She’s no longer your sister-in- law. If you don’t behave, I’ll sue you.”
Jovan raised his brows and cracked a faint smile before he said, “I’m sorry. I forgot that it’d been four years since Miss Ellsworth got a divorce. But to me, she’ll always be my sister-in-law. Although she has got nothing to do with Halston now, I always see her as my sister-in-law. I still have a lot of things to talk to her about.”
After that, Jovan looked over Liam’s body and stared intensely at Flossie without restraint.
“Stop looking at her!”
Liam could no longer take it. He even ignored his manners and clenched his fists. “Mr. Guajardo, if you can’t control your gaze and don’t know what you should be looking at, I don’t mind helping teach your vulgar eyes a lesson!”
Jovan had always been that despicable man.
By relying on the fact that he was only second to Halston in the Guajardo family, he had been acting willfully and arrogantly around Beach City.
He even mounted strong opposition when Flossie married Halston back then. He boldly claimed that Flossie did not deserve Halston and that she had no right to be a member of the Guajardo family. He even gathered around a hundred gangsters to make a scene at their wedding and humiliate Flossie vehemently.
At last, Timothy got so angry that he diminished his power in H Group and banished him abroad, leaving some insignificant businesses in his hands. It was only then that he stopped doing such conceited deeds.
Liam had long held a grudge against Jovan because of that affair. He had long since wanted to beat up that shameless man, but he did not get such a chance. That chance happened to be in his hands now.
“It’s fine.”
Flossie saw that Liam was about to pry out Jovan’s eyes, so she said slowly, “It’s normal that everyone loves beautiful things. Mr. Guajardo, since you like staring at me, I’ll take it as an approval of my charm. You have my permission to look at me as you like.”
Liam was upset. “Boss, how can you let this shameless man have his way? Did you forget how he used to humiliate you?”
“It’s different. People change. I believe he can be a very good friend to us now.”
Flossie stared closely at Jovan with profound meaning in her expression.
“See! She has such a broad perspective!”
Jovan looked at Flossie with surprise and joy.
That was true indeed. People did change. In the past, Flossie was stiff, boring, and conservative. But now, she was a vastly different person.
“Miss Ellsworth, I heard you wanted to investigate the surveillance video of the presidential zone, but Halston didn’t give us such power. I happened to receive his authorization, so I may be able to help you.”
Jovan spoke slowly. His countenance was full of smugness.
On the contrary, Flossie was calm as she said, “Mr. Guajardo, please do me a favor.”
Even if he did not help her, she had ways to hack into the surveillance system of the presidential zone
However, she could save herself the trouble since he offered to help.
Besides, Halston had always been cautious and held the authorization of H Group strictly. He had never treated his cousin kindly.
His sudden generosity in giving up all his authorization to such an unreliable person, however, made Flossie wonder if he was just careless or if something else had happened.
She knew for a fact that H Group held a key role in the survival issue of Azure Group. Hence, she planned to use that chance to fleece Jovan of the truth.
After all, Jovan looked like a fool, and he might just expose everything after a casual trick.
’I can help you, but I have a small request.”
Jovan cracked a complicated smile and said gradually.
Flossie appeared composed. “Just tell me.”
‘I want you to be with me for one night.”
As soon as he made that request, everyone on the spot inhaled sharply and let out gasps.
He did not regard Halston seriously at all.
Liam got so furious that he grabbed Jovan’s sleeves and raised his fist in great fury. “You bastard! You’re courting death. How dare you humiliate Flossie so!”
It was not the first time Jovan treated Flossie with such disrespect.
In the past, he made such a statement numerously and openly when she was still his sister-in-law. He even asked her to be with him.
However, he had no ulterior motives toward her. He just felt that she was a plaything and she did not deserve Halston, so he could casually toy with and humiliate her.
But it was clear that he had become interested in her now.
“Liam, stop.’
Flossie stopped Liam again and asked Jovan, “Are you sure? Are you daring enough to ask me to be with you?”
“Haha! Flossie, you’re funny. Others can’t even hope for such an honor.
What’s there to be afraid of?”
“Honor?”
Flossie smirked and said with a faint smile, “Well, it depends on whether you have such luck.”
Tsk! Tsk! You get my hopes up.”
Flossie had become so much more interesting to Jovan now.
He had simply wanted to tease her, hoping she’d reminisce about her young and shy look, but he did not expect her to react in such a brazen manner. Consequently, this completely changed his impression of her.
The employees present wondered if they were mistaken. The reserved and prudent Mrs. Guajardo had changed. She even flirted with a man like Jovan.
Liam roughly guessed Flossie’s intention, so he forcefully held back his fury and let them be.
Flossie was not someone to be trifled with. Since Jovan went to Flossie on his initiative, he would suffer.
Getting the surveillance video to determine Adie’s situation was more important.
They successfully retrieved the surveillance video of the president zone under Jovan’s order.
