Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
“Whatever!”
Jovan’s gaze was full of viciousness and recklessness. “Do you think this lousy identity is meaningful to me? I’ve long had enough. I just want Flossie now. Don’t test my patience. Let me have her now!”
Francine knew for a fact that Jovan would lose his mind inexplicably, but it was beyond her expectation he would react that way because of Flossie. Hence, she said coldly, “She’s not here. Just go ahead if you want to make a scene. I have all the time in the world to waste with you.”
She would never tell Jovan about Flossie’s location because doing that would only create greater trouble. She felt that she should avoid unnecessary trouble.
After all, she would prevent him from getting close to Halston and learning about his blindness. At most, he was just a young man who was unable to stir up any trouble.
“Well, you refuse to tell me, don’t you… Fine, I’ll ask your son then.”
Jovan knew for sure that Francine must have done something to Flossie. It meant that Flossie might be in grave danger at the moment.
He could no longer waste time with Francine so calmly. His eyes turned red as he shouted in the direction of Halston’s room. “Halston, you coward! Did you hear? Your mother wants to kill Flossie. Why are you still hiding and doing nothing like a coward?”
“Shut up!”
Francine was afraid that Halston would come out when he heard it, so she lowered her voice and said, “I’ll give you a chance since you want to play the hero and save the damsel in distress. She’s now in Warehouse Seven. You may be able to save her life if you’re fast enough.”
“That was direct!”
Jovan did not expect Francine to tell him Flossie’s whereabouts so straightforwardly. A tinge of complicated feeling arose in his eyes. “It looks like you’re not so cruel as I think. You’re considered a good mother-in-law. At least you’re more open-minded than my mother.”
“Humph! You’re overthinking. I wanted to get rid of you sooner by telling you about her whereabouts. I wasn’t trying to be kind. Get lost now!”
Francine would never admit that she was kind to Flossie. She felt like she had to suffer greatly, given how wicked of a woman Flossie was.
On the other hand, Jovan did not delay anymore. He turned around and left Guajardo Villa, and sped toward Warehouse Seven like a bat out of hell.
Francine heaved a long sigh. She thought that this incident was finally over, but she did not expect that Halston had long heard her conversation with Jovan.
Halston groped around and went out before he used his phone to get a cab. He then rushed toward Warehouse Seven.
It was now late at night.
Warehouse Seven was located in the countryside outside the city near the river surrounding the river. It was remote, and its terrain was very dangerous.
“Help… Help me!”
Seraphina’s weak voice resonated in the dark warehouse.
Under Flossie’s orders, the men left the scene after tying Seraphina up alone in the warehouse.
It was a special circumstance, so Flossie didn’t let Seraphina go to ensure her safety. She decided to ask a passer-by’s help, who’d untie Seraphina the next early morning.
After all the hysterical screaming, Seraphina grew weary. Her voice grew softer.
At first, she was pretty scared in the pitch darkness. She gradually became numb.
“Flossie, are you in there?”
When Jovan arrived at the warehouse, he kicked the door open and asked nervously.
“Who… Who are you?”
When Seraphina heard someone’s voice, she woke up with a start and looked toward the door of the warehouse.
“Flossie, wait. I’m coming for you!”
When Jovan heard her voice, he thought it was Flossie. He turned on the torchlight on his phone and rushed toward Seraphina.
“Jovan?”
“Seraphina?”
At last, both of them were slightly surprised when they saw each other’s faces.
“Why are you here? Where did you leave Flossie?!”
He rudely grabbed her hand and interrogated her fiercely.
“Are you here to play hero and save the damsel in distress? It’s a pity you came late.”
Seraphina’s hand hurt from his grasp, so she was grumpy.
“What do you mean I came late? Make it clear!”
Jovan was no longer as calm and as reserved as he was. He was very agitated now.
“Why are you roaring? You sound like she’s your wife or something. She has nothing to do with you. You’re just her plan B and backup!”
Seraphina uttered hurtfully.
“Don’t beat around the bush. Let me repeat my question. Where did you get Flossie to?”
Jovan had lost all his sanity. He strangled Seraphina’s neck and interrogated her with a hideous face.
It was a critical moment. If it was delayed for even a second, there might be an irretrievable result. He could not afford to see that happen.
“She… She’s dead!”
Seraphine almost suffocated. Her face flushed deeply as she answered with difficulty.
“What did you say? Say that again!”
Jovan lost his mind. He wanted nothing but to break Seraphina’s neck now.
The last tinge of sanity left in him make him release his grasp. He then lifted her and demanded like a demon would, “What happened?! What did you do to her?!”
“Ahem, ahem!”
She finally grabbed a chance to breathe again. Sneering, she stared at the man who had gone mad. She then said sarcastically, “Jovan, aren’t you too engrossed in the acting? Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for Flossie. I’m not sure about others, but aren’t you trying to make Flossie cheat on Halston by approaching her? You just want to take revenge on Halston and find a sense of existence as the backup?”
“Shut up!”
With his fists clenched tightly, Jovan’s face became extremely gloomy.
However, Seraphina was courting death. She continued, “You’re never serious in your life. You care about nothing, and you never regard anyone seriously. It’s the first time I’m seeing you lose control like this for someone irrelevant. Well, you’re just a humble love-struck fool like Halston. Is this some kind of gene that runs in the Guajardo family?”
“I asked you to shut up!”
Jovan could no longer take it before he screamed angrily at Seraphina. His eyes were scarlet.
His mind was a mess. He could not accept the fact that Flossie had died.
