Filed to story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Flossie looked at the documents with fearful eyes. She swallowed with difficulty as her mind went through countless possibilities. “Maybe you stole them from him, or… or you bribed the staff!”
She would never believe that Mr. Q would betray her, or that Halston had the ability to quietly destroy the terrifying “Night Demon” without anyone knowing!
“If that makes you feel better, feel free to think that.”
Halston did not care about Flossie’s mental state.
He had achieved his goal. It did not matter whether Flossie hated him or loved him, she was now his legal wife!
“My dear wife, no matter what, today is the day of our remarriage. Do you want to go out and celebrate?”
Halston grabbed Flossie’s shoulder and asked naturally.
‘Ah… it feels great holding my legal wife. The sense of accomplishment is so strong!’
“Don’t touch me!”
Flossie smacked away his arm like a hedgehog.
Her mind was in utter confusion right now. She must figure this matter out. Halston would never tell her the truth, so she must seek Mr. Q out for clarification!
Yes, she would have to go to Mr. Q. She would only believe it if she heard it from him!
Flossie wasted no time in going to the Carmine Pawnshop.
“Wait, Miss Ellsworth.”
The guard in front of the door politely but forcefully stopped her.
“You’re stopping me?”
Flossie told the security guard, “Have you forgotten about the order from your boss? I can go in and out of the Carmine Pawnshop at will. I can even access the restricted areas. You’re actually stopping me at the front door?”
“I’m sorry, Miss Ellsworth, but I’m doing this exactly because I’m following the boss’ order. Please understand and cooperate.”
The guard looked helpless.
“I don’t believe it. When we went to register the marriage, our relationship was still so harmonious. Why would he suddenly…”
Flossie bit her lips, took out her phone, and dialed Mr. Q’s number.
To her surprise, the number was no longer in service!
“Why? Why is this happening…?”
As if she had received a heavy blow to the head, Flossie felt dizzy and was completely caught off guard.
She could not believe that the man who treated her so sincerely would become so merciless. The only possibility was that bastard Halston must have done something despicable to Mr. Q, forcing him to do this!
She wanted to see Mr. Q. She must see Mr. Q!
“I’m warning you guys, step aside right now. I have important matters to discuss with Mr. Q. I don’t want to hurt you.”
Flossie’s eyes became cold. She clenched her fists, ready to go ham.
The guard had also undergone strict training. He raised his weapon and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Ellsworth, but we’re just following orders. If you really try to break through by force, then we can only stop you by force.”
“Is that so? Well, here I come.”
Flossie’s left leg kicked the ground to propel her forward. She pulled her right hand back and launched a right hook at the guard.
The guard dodged, but Flossie dropped him to the ground in mere seconds. After that… more guards rushed forward and surrounded Flossie.
“Looks like you all want a beating too. Come and get it, then.”
After that, she sent the guards flying with a series of kicks.
She generally did not like to resort to violence, but she had learned how to fight from her grandfather from a young age, so her skills were superb.
Whenever she was forced to fight, she would go all out. She could not hold back even if she wanted to.
“Tell your boss I’ll keep fighting until he shows himself.”
The guards were beaten black and blue, but they still blocked off the entrance and would not allow Flossie to enter.
“Stop!”
Finally, a tall figure walked out of the door.
Flossie stopped attacking to take a better look at the man.
“Chase?”
The man nodded and said, “Miss Ellsworth, long time no see.”
As if she saw a ray of hope, Flossie finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Chase, I’m so glad to see you. These guys are too rigid. I just wanted to see your boss to talk, but they wouldn’t let me in and forced me to attack them…”
“Hurry up and order them to move aside. I want to see Mr. Q!”
Chase’s status in the Carmine Pawnshop was second only to Mr. Q. If he gave the permission, no one would dare to stop her anymore.
“I’m sorry, Miss Ellsworth, I’m afraid I can’t give that order,” said Chase calmly.
“Do you want me to beat you up too?”
“Miss Ellsworth, I know you’re upset, but Mr. Q has already made his decision and he won’t change it. He must have his reasons.”
“Do you know that we’re supposed to get married? Yet he…”
Flossie calmed down. Her voice was filled with pain and sadness as she said, “All I want is just… an explanation. It wasn’t easy for me to trust a man again. I just don’t want to be wrong again.”
“You don’t have to see him to ask for an explanation. I can explain it to you on his behalf…”
Chase clearly knew the inside story. Or rather, he must be Halston’s spokesperson.
With sympathetic eyes, he slowly said, “Mr. Q asked me to tell you that he’s lost to Halston Guajardo and will back off voluntarily. He hopes you’ll live happily ever after with Halston Guajardo and asks you to forget about him.”
“That’s impossible! I won’t believe it unless I hear it from him!”
“If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. He has disappeared, so he can’t tell you personally. If you insist on searching the Carmine Pawnshop for him, I can let you in, but… you’ll just be wasting your time.”
Chase said helplessly.
Flossie was someone who would not give up until she found what she was looking for.
