Flossie smiled wryly and said, “What’s the point of saying these things now? He won’t come back to life. Do you want me to die for him?”
‘What I’m trying to say is, he’s definitely still alive. The story between you isn’t over yet, so he definitely won’t let himself die…”
“So?”
“So he must have left clues for you. You just haven’t noticed yet!”
“Clues?”
Flossie frowned as if she had suddenly recalled something!
Upon seeing Flossie’s reaction, Francine’s eyes brightened. She excitedly pulled Flossie’s hand and asked, “Did you think of something? Tell me, quick!”
“I knew my son wouldn’t die so easily. I knew he left clues for you!”
Flossie shook her head. Her helpless expression seemed sincere. “He didn’t leave me any clues, but if even you, his mother, can’t be sure if he’s dead, then I’m even more uncertain… At least, so far, I’ve only learned about his death from other people.”
“Since you’ve already chosen a grave for him, surely you must know where his corpse is?”
Francine’s bloodshot eyes were sad as she said, “Halston’s father said he had an accident and had died in the hospital. Apparently, the way he died was horrible. His father was worried that I might not be able to take it if I saw him, so he was cremated overnight. We chose the grave together, but I still don’t believe that he’s dead. I think they must be planning something in secret, so I turned a blind eye and went along with their acting…”
“But now, the H Group is in chaos, and I heard lots of rumors slandering my son. The most terrifying thing is that the H Group will be taken away by a useless relative tomorrow. The company is the result of generations of hard work, especially by Halston. He sacrificed so much for the H Group. If he’s still alive, he wouldn’t just watch as something he values gets taken away.”
At that moment, Jovan slowly walked out of the room and stood in the center of the rotating staircase with his hands in his pockets. He looked down at Flossie and Francine like a king.
“Useless relative?”
The man’s lips curled into a mocking sneer, “After all these years, your words are still so sharp, Auntie Francine. They hurt me so.”
“Jovan?”
Francine immediately put away her sadness and put on a cold and proud expression. She yelled, “This is my son’s house. What are you doing here? You’re an illegitimate son of unknown origin. You’re trash. You don’t deserve to be here. SCRAM!”
Flossie was shocked when she heard that.
Tsk tsk, her ex-mother-in-law sure had a toxic mouth. She had no filter at all.
She wondered if Jovan would assassinate Francine the next day. After all, Jovan could get really reckless when he was crazy!
Flossie thought Jovan would instantly lose his temper when he heard those insulting words, but he did not react at all. His smile even deepened.
As an illegitimate child who grew up in the Guajardo family, he was probably immune to these insults by now.
“Calm down, Auntie Francine. The one who should scram is you because starting from tomorrow, everything your son once owned will become mine…”
As Jovan spoke, he walked downstairs. His towering and superior figure bore a little resemblance to Halston.
He walked upto Francine with a sinister smile and arrogantly declared his ownership. ‘Not only will this villa belong to me, even his former wife will be mine… If you cant stand it, you’re welcome to join him in hell!”
“In.Jn your dreams’”
Francine’s patience has reached its limit. She swung her hand and slapped him.
Unfortunately, Jovan, who had always obediently received the insults and beatings hurled at him, was different now. He grabbed her wrist and warned her, “Francine Milford, I advise you to accept reality. Both your sons are dead. Your era is over. The Guajardo family will soon belong to me and my descendants. You think I’d still suffer your insults?”
He put a decent amount of strength into his grip. Francine seemed to be in pain and tried to break free. She cursed, ’Let me go, you little bastard.
You’re just like your slut of a mother who sleeps around with men. You’re an ambitious lot but you’ll never succeed! You… Aah!”
“Don’t you dare insult my mother!”
Jovan’s eyes were cold. He put more strength into his long fingers and cruelly bent Francine’s wrist.
Francine had been living a privileged life her whole life. She had never suffered this kind of treatment before. Her face twisted from the pain.
But her mouth was still as vile as ever. She kept spouting various unpleasant words, challenging Jovan’s patience.
Fearing that something more serious was going to happen, Flossie immediately stepped forward to stop them. “Jovan, let go of her. She’s your aunt. This is disrespectful.”
“Hmph, have you ever seen such a cruel aunt? If she doesn’t respect me, why should I respect her?…”
Jovan had no intention of letting Francine go. His eyes became increasingly cruel, as if they contained decades of accumulated anger. He looked like he was going to break Francine’s hand!
‘This woman is the most arrogant and snobbish woman I’ve ever seen. In her eyes, everyone else except for her two precious sons is trash. Even though she humiliated me for years, I never thought of getting back at her, but she just had to insult my mother… I’m not venting my anger, I’m teaching her a lesson on my mother’s behalf!”
“Aah! My hand! You little bastard! You immediately start to retaliate the moment you gain a bit of power. I’ll never forgive you! I… Ouch!”
Like an elementary school kid, Francine yelled at him while screaming in pain.
Flossie shook her head speechlessly and thought to herself, ‘These two are so childish’!
She placed a hand on the back of Jovan’s hand and said coldly, “Jovan, I order you to let her go. If you don’t, I’ll…”
Flossie thought hard about how she could intimidate the crazy man. She blurted out, “If you don’t let her go. I’ll ignore you for the rest of my life.” It was super effective.
A trace of surprise flashed across Jovan’s fierce eyes. With a surprised look on his face, he immediately let Francine go.
He looked at Flossie with joy and asked, “You mean, you weren’t gonna ignore me?”
Flossie did not respond to Jovan. Instead, she lowered her head and inspected Francine’s wrist.
‘Your hand is a bit dislocated. I’ll push it back into place for you. It might hurt a bit, so please bear with it.”
Francine was as obedient as a three-year-old girl. She nodded repeatedly and looked at Flossie like she was looking at a precious treasure. “My daughter-in-law, you… you even know bone-setting?”
Jovan suddenly became unhappy again and issued a stern warning to her,” Francine, be careful of what you call her. Who are you calling your daughter- in-law? You’re shameless.”
“What? Flossie is my daughter-in-law. Who do you think you are? You think she would give you the time of day? Go take a good hard look in the mirror.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Flossie exerted a tiny bit of force. Francine immediately cried out in pain.
After that, Francine moved her wrist a little and found that it was fine now.
“My daughter-in-law, you’re amazing. Not only are your lemon chicken feet delicious, you even know bone-setting. I never realized you’re skilled in so many things before. I…”
‘That’s because you were blind before. Now, you’re not blind anymore, but your brainstem is all gone, so you’re a fool now.”
Jovan mocked from the side.
Francine was immediately angered. She looked like she was going to fight him to the death.
Flossie could not take it anymore. She said, “You guys go ahead. I’m leaving.”
Flossie quickly left the villa, giving Jovan and Francine no chance to catch upto her.
