She could only take a deep breath, clench her fists, open the passenger door, and get into the car reluctantly.
“Jovan Guajardo, you madman, what are you scheming this time? I thought after Halston defeated you, you would have been so humiliated that you would commit seppuku. Why are you still here?”
Flossie’s words were as sharp as daggers. She was being brutal on purpose.
She had no choice. Against a madman like Jovan, she could only become even crazier than him to scare him away.
However, Jovan was not angry. He slowly drove out of the congested area of the airport. The smile on his face became wider and wider.
It was obvious that he was enjoying himself. The harsher Flossie scolded him, the more he enjoyed it!
“Sister-in-law, I also didn’t expect you to fall back to a scumbag like my cousin Halston. Since you’re so resilient, how can I be so fragile?”
Jovan counterattacked.
The car soon reached the Marine Bridge. Sunlight poured down from the windshield, illuminating his handsome face. His entire body was wrapped in a layer of light that was hazy and soft, making him look surreal.
Flossie crossed her arms and looked out the window at the blue sea. She scoffed and said, “Besides your mouth, which part of you is superior to your cousin? You can’t even hold a candle to him. If I were you, I would just be satisfied with being number two forever. You could have just lived off the stock dividends for the rest of your life, but you insisted on messing around and now everyone hates you.”
This remark definitely hit a sore spot. Jovan’s eyes became noticeably sharper. Even the car moved a little faster.
Flossie was finally satisfied. A triumphant smile crept onto her face.
Hmph, you’re no match for me, you little shit!
She checked the road sign ahead. Although she was not sure where Jovan was taking her, she could guess that his appearance at the airport was most likely related to Halston.
“Looks like you know more about your cousin’s situation than I do. This is an opportunity for you to redeem yourself. You should take advantage of it.”
Flossie turned to look at Jovan, deciding to recruit him.
Although he was crazy, he was still a Guajardo. The Guajardo family was now in grave danger. Every member of the family would be affected. They needed to unite against the external enemies. She believed that Jovan would understand this.
“What kind of situation is Halston in? Tell me.”
Jovan asked. Flossie could not tell if he was serious or joking.
“Stop feigning ignorance. The Guajardo family and the Murphy family have fallen out. The Guajardo family is in danger. If you have any brains left, you should know that this is the best opportunity for you to make up for your past mistakes.”
“Make up for my mistakes?”
Jovan smiled and said, “I don’t need to make up for anything. I’m now doing exactly as you said I should. I’m having fun every day while living off the stock dividends. It’s a great life. I have no wish to join the H Group, and I don’t need the family to recognize my capability. I’m happy being a useless guy.”
“……”
Flossie was speechless.
However, she would never believe that someone like Jovan would be willing to remain number two forever.
He must be scheming something and was just waiting for the right moment to make a big comeback!
Whatever. She did not need his help. As long as he would not make the situation worse, it was good enough for her.
“One more thing. I think you’re still as naive as before. You still don’t understand me and you still don’t understand my cousin…”
Jovan said with deep meaning, “First, what I covet the most has never been the H Group. Second, my proud cousin Halston is also not in any danger. He’s… enjoying life right now.”
“What do you mean?”
Flossie could not understand. Her expression was solemn.
“Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon enough.”
Jovan smiled meaningfully as he accelerated the car.
After over an hour, the car arrived at a famous five-star resort hotel.
The hotel was holding a banquet today. It was not open to the public. The hotel’s large lawn was beautifully decorated. Multiple exquisite trays containing various drinks and desserts could be seen around the swimming pool.
Various wealthy young people and celebrities of Beach City were gathered here today. Many of them were enjoying themselves at the swimming pool. Beautiful women in bikinis and handsome, muscular men chased each other and frolicked in the water. Some were even hugging and kissing as if they were alone rather than in public. The atmosphere was wild.
Flossie did not like this kind of atmosphere. She could not help questioning Jovan with a frown, “What are you doing? Why did you bring me to this kind of place?”
Jovan put his hands in his pockets and smiled. “Didn’t you ask me to make up for my mistakes and save my arrogant cousin with you? He’s indeed in trouble and is waiting for us to rescue him.”
Flossie suddenly felt energetic. She asked, “You mean Halston’s here?”
“He might be here or he might be in a room. You’ll have to find him.”
Jovan paused for a moment, then said meaningfully, “But you need to prepare yourself. You might be heartbroken to see the “pain” he’s in.”
“Stop being so mysterious.”
Flossie glared at the man angrily and then began to carefully search the hotel.
The most crowded place was by the pool. A really loud electronic music was playing. Someone was holding a sprinkler in the middle of the pool to liven up the atmosphere. The young men and women there danced along with the rhythm. The scene was so chaotic that it gave Flossie a headache.
Just as she was about to look away to search another area, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure lying on a lounge chair near the pool. He was dressed in a white bathrobe and sunglasses. He seemed very relaxed.
Next to him sat a sexy woman in a black and white bikini, affectionately feeding him grapes.
Flossie gulped. It was a hot sunny day, yet she felt cold from head to toe, as if she had been turned into ice and was unable to move an inch.
Who could it be but Halston, the man she had been worrying about day and night?
“My cousin has always liked the quiet. He rarely attends gatherings like this. He came today mainly to keep the Murphy girl company. Doesn’t he look like he’s suffering?”
Jovan’s lips curled into a smile. He added, “Sister-in-law, hurry up and rescue him. I’ll back you up!”
“……”
Flossie could not say anything and could not move. She simply stared at them. The interaction between them was extremely intimate. Besides feeding fruits, they were also hugging and sometimes even lightly kissing each other. The image was like a steel knife that pierced straight into Flossie’s heart. It was so painful that she could not breathe.
“Are you okay?”
Jovan stared at the woman’s face that had turned deathly pale. She looked like she was about to collapse. He could not bear seeing her like this.
He subconsciously supported her shoulder and said with a frown, “If you can’t take it, then let’s turn around and leave. We’ll pretend we saw nothing. He hasn’t noticed us anyway.”
As soon as he said that, Halston’s eyes turned coldly towards them.
The young men and women in the swimming pool seemed to feel the chill emanating from the man. They all followed his gaze to Flossie and Jovan who were standing at the entrance.
Flossie took a deep breath and tried to force back her tears. She said confidently and casually, “Of course I can take it. I’m someone who has experienced lots of things. This is nothing to me!”
