Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Three days ago, Flossie managed to invite Team Raging Storm over with just a phone call. Team. Raging Storm, who had just won the world championship! Not only that, Team Raging Storm’s captain even respectfully referred to Flossie as “Master”!
When the young lawyers saw that, they almost bowed down to Flossie. From then on, they saw Flossie as a “forefather of e-sports” and their admiration for her shot through the roof.
Flossie picked up a glass of juice and touched Zack’s glass with it. With a smile, she said, “That will depend on your performance.”
Before taking over the law firm, Flossie had conducted a comprehensive research of every member in the firm.
The members of the law firm were all young people in their twenties except for John Wayne and Sandra Lee, who were slightly older.
Zack Rosenwell was the youngest among the three major partners of the law firm. He was undefeated in court, but he was a noob in video games.
Although he was a noob, he loved playing video games. He would lead the group of young lawyers to play video games all day.
From the beginning, Flossie knew that as long as she could make Zack obey her, the group of young lawyers would naturally obey her too.
What better way to convince Zack to listen to her than to insta-kill his idol in front of him in the game?
Therefore, she was not surprised at all that she was able to make these rebellious lawyers submit to her in just three days.
Flossie and the lawyers were having a good time when a certain figure walked into the bar.
Halston stood there, tall and handsome. He immediately saw Flossie sitting in the middle of the group, surrounded by the others like the moon being surrounded by stars.
Halston frowned slightly after a hint of surprise flashed across his cold face.
What have Rence done? Why was Zack Rosenwell willing to pour drinks for her?
Three years ago, when II Group acquired the Guajardos & Co. Law Firm, Zack Rosenwell left a deep impression on Halston due to his arrogance and lack of respect.
However, because Zack’s professional capabilities were so outstanding – he would easily help H Group solve all kinds of legal issues – Halston simply let him be.
All these years, Halston had always left the Guajardos & Co. Law Firm alone. He did not care how much money they made as long as they could be useful in crucial moments.
But those lawyers simply turned the law firm into a “retirement home”. Not only did the law firm not make money, it was losing money every year!
Flossie actually gave up $40 million dollars and a luxury house in exchange for this law firm. In Halston’s opinion, it was so not worth it.
He was sure that there was no way Flossie could deal with the difficult people in the law firm, considering her capabilities. When that happened, Flossie would naturally admit defeat and come to him to re-discuss the distribution of assets.
But now, it seemed like Flossie had pretty much done it… in only three days?
Flossie and the lawyers did not notice Halston’s arrival. Halston did not go over to greet them either. Instead, he headed straight for the VIP area on the second floor.
Xavier had been waiting for him. He was full of complaints. “Bro, you’re finally here. When we asked you to come, you said you’re busy, but when it concerns your little darling wife, you came immediately!”
“It has nothing to do with her.”
Halston replied coldly as he took a seat.
The seat he chose was right across from the booth where Flossie and the lawyers were in, enabling him to see their every move.
From the moment he sat down, Halston’s gaze had never left Flossie, as if his eyes had been locked in place.
Downstairs, Flossie was surrounded on all sides. She was smiling brilliantly, like a blooming flower, bright and charming.
Her white skirt was pure, while her red lips were seductive. The two contrasting elements blended into her, making her seem… so alluring!
Was that how she took care of those eccentric lawyers?
When he thought of that, Halston’s gaze tightened. He took a sip of wine with an expression of displeasure. A strange feeling rose in his heart.
“Bro, are you even listening to me?”
Xavier’s waved his hand in front of Halston’s face. He then continued bravely, “From the moment you sat down, all you’ve been doing was stare at her. We should just call you Stareton! Stop ignoring your friends!”
Only then did Halston realize that he seemed to have been paying too much attention to that woman.
He withdrew his gaze and turned to Xavier, asking him in a cold voice, “What were you saying again?”
Xavier quickly said, “Bro, I remember you have a law firm, and there’s a lawyer named Zack Rosenwell working in your law firm, right? Dude, I’m in trouble. Can you ask that guy to represent me in a case? I can’t lose this case or I’m done for!”
“I can get you a lawyer, but Zack Rosenwell…”
Halston had a complicated expression as he said, “I’m afraid he won’t take orders from me.”
“No way! You’re his boss!”
Xavier seemed really worried. He said helplessly, “Dude, I’ll tell you honestly. It’s the new club I opened. A woman died from alcohol overdose from drinking too much. Now, her family’s taking us to court. The situation is very unfavorable for us!”
“I have a good relationship with the judge, so he secretly hinted to me that in this type of cases, our side would usually lose. There was only one example of the defendant winning – it was a case Zack Rosenwell took on years ago…”
Xavier was about to lose it.
He came from a family of politicians. His family had always been strict. His father nagged him every day for not working a proper job.
If his father found out that he actually had the audacity to open an entertainment club and the club had even caused death, his father would definitely break his legs and confine him forever!
Christopher chimed in, “Try and ask the lawyer to help him, Fan. After all, if the lawyer is someone we know personally, there will be fewer problems.”
Halston pursed his thin lips and said no more.
Downstairs, Flossie’s group was becoming more and more lively. They were now playing a drinking game.
Halston’s face hardened. He could not sit still anymore.
He picked up a glass of wine and told the dispirited Xavier, “Let’s go.“
The two men went downstairs. Because of their good looks, they attracted a lot of attention.
Unfortunately, Flossie’s group was too immersed in their drinking game to notice.
Therefore, the two young masters were… completely ignored!
Xavier was used to being the center of attention everywhere he went and had never experience such a cold reception before. Moreover, he was feeling mad on Halston’s behalf, so the words that came out of his mouth were very arrogant. “Look how excited they are over a stupid drinking game. So childish.”
Only then did the group notice them. The atmosphere that had been merry a second before rapidly dropped to a freezing point.
Halston’s eyes met with Flossie’s. An invisible tug-of-war began.
Although neither of them spoke, the others could clearly sense the fireworks that were going off between them. They could tell a silent battle was raging.
The new boss versus the old boss. The lawyers were in a tough spot.
They immediately made the decision to step back and watch the show unfold, lest they get burned by collateral damage.
Flossie finally broke the silence and asked, “Wanna play with us?”
Before Xavier could say “I don’t want to play such a childish game”, Halston had already sat down. He said coldly, “Why not.”
Therefore, Xavier could only follow suit, albeit reluctantly. The person sitting next to him happened to be Zack Rosenwell, the lawyer he regarded as “the only person who could save him”.
Zack had always been lukewarm and indifferent to his former boss Halston, but he was in a good mood today and he did not want the atmosphere to get awkward, so he said, “It’s rare for Mr. CEO himself to stoop to our level and play with us peasants, so let’s not play the drinking game anymore. Let’s play something else.”
“The rules of this game are simple. Each of us hold a number plate in our hands and take turns spinning the arrow. The person the arrow points to can randomly choose another person to answer a question. If the other person refuses to answer, that person will be punished.”
“Oh my god! That’s so childish!”
Xavier stood up, ready to leave, but when he saw Halston still remain seated with no intention of leaving, he could only try to salvage the situation by saying, “Alright, stop wasting time! Let’s start the game!”
It’s strange. Why was his workaholic friend Halston so free today? And he’s usually as cold as an iceberg, so why was he willing to play such a childish game with these zoomers?
Was Halston being manipulated by his petite, demure wife?
The game started. Because there were two party poopers there, everyone was pretty reserved. All the questions and punishments were relatively mild.
Then, the arrow pointed to Zack.
Zack had no fear. He looked straight at Halston and asked, ‘I’ve always wondered, is the great Halston Guajardo also an early bloomer in the matter of amorous affection? What I’m trying to ask is, how old were you when you lost your virginity?””
Now that was an explosive question. Everybody pricked up their ears.
