“You’re lying, aren’t you? Flossie is so tough. She could even escape from Halston. How could she die so easily? You must be lying to me, aren’t you?”
He grabbed her shoulders and asked repeatedly and crazily.
“Umm, I’m not sure about that either…”
Naturally, Seraphina would not be so dumb and tell the truth. She got a hundred men to humiliate Flossie and tamper with her dignity, but her plan failed. On the contrary, she was tied up here. It was a deep humiliation.
Hence, she replied ambiguously, “I just got her here to chat with me, but she took things too seriously. She jumped into the river. I’ve got no idea whether she’s still alive or not. I’d rather she’s dead!”
“So, you’re telling me that you forced her to die? Did you ask her to jump into the river?”
Deeper craziness overwhelmed him. He grabbed her hair. “Why are you so wicked? I’ve come up with ways to help you get Halston. Why aren’t you willing to let Flossie go?”
“What f*cking ways did you use? Your ways aren’t long-term. I want him to forget everything about her instead of forcing himself to be with me just to protect her. As long as this hindrance is out of the way, he’ll forget about her one day and fall in love with me!”
When he mentioned that affair, she was fuming with anger.
Jovan was the mysterious man who gave her the video of Flossie pushing Jessanna down the cliff.
She successfully broke Halston and Flossie up by relying on that video.
However, they were just separated. The feelings Halston had for Flossie never changed, but they intensified.
A great sense of defeat washed over her when she saw him sacrifice himself just to protect Flossie. On the contrary, she felt like her dignity was being violated. Naturally, her hatred for Flossie grew with time.
All she wanted now was for Flossie to die.
Seraphina believed that Halston would belong to her if Flossie died.
Unfortunately, Flossie was too tough, and she escaped repeatedly. She was indeed hard to handle.
“Seraphina, tell me honestly. You’re lying by claiming that Flossie had jumped into the river, aren’t you? She won’t do such a stupid thing given her character.”
Jovan used the last bit of sanity he had to analyze the possibility of Flossie jumping into the river.
“Humph! Jump into the river to search for her. You’ll know if I’m lying to you.”
Seraphina laughed coldly and said, “You claimed that you love her, but you’re chickening out. Frankly, all men love themselves the most. How will you endanger yourself for an uncertain factor?”
As she mocked him with gusto, she suddenly glanced at the door of the warehouse, where she caught a glimpse of a tall and upright figure.
She recognized the person at first glance. He was Halston.
It was because only Halston possessed such a perfect body figure.
“Halston, why… why are you here? Did Miss Francine come with you?”
Seraphina, unable to keep appearing as if she was teasing Jovan, was concerned now. She struggled anxiously and tried to rush toward Halston.
“Halston?”
Jovan turned around and looked at the door of the warehouse. He was trying to sound Halston out. “Didn’t they claim that you’re suffering from an infectious disease and that you can’t even get out of bed? You look fine and healthy now!”
It was too dark, so Jovan could only see a dark figure. He could see nothing, so he could not affirm whether the rumors were true.
Halston stood there uprightly. It did not affect him at all, no matter how dark the surrounding was. Hence, he was currently the most sensitive and responsive one among the three.
“Seraphina, can you repeat what you said just now?”
Halston ignored Jovan and tried to seek confirmation from Seraphina. “What happened to Flossie?”
“She, she…”
Seraphina became flustered. She was at a loss for how she should answer the question.
“Be frank with me. Did she jump into the river?”
Halston’s voice turned low and cold with an innate autocracy.
Seraphina swallowed. She seemed to be placed in a dilemma now, and she could not make up her mind.
“I don’t know. I know nothing. She may be in danger, or she may still be safe. Go and look for her… Or, you can let me go first. We’ll look for her together.”
Seraphina’s words made them relax a little.
“Okay, let’s look for her together. If we can’t find her, I’ll make you jump into the river.”
Jovan knitted his brows and shot the iron chains that bound her. He broke them with a gunshot.
After Seraphina regained her freedom, she ran to Halston, who was at the door of the warehouse.
“Halston, how are you? Are you hurt? Where’s Miss Francine… Did you come here alone?”
She ignored her physical injury and held his arms firmly. She then began to look for Francine.
“I came alone.”
Halston sounded cold, devoid of any extra emotion.
“What? Did you come alone? You… How did you do that? Are you not hurt?”
Seraphina could not imagine how a blind man like Halston would walk a few miles from a luxurious villa to such a dangerous and remote warehouse.
“That’s not important. Tell me where Flossie is.”
His deep-set and bright eyes were hidden in the dark as he anxiously interrogated her.
“Do you love her that much?”
Excruciating pain engulfed her. She inexplicably felt pathetic. Her eyes turned red as she said, “She’s caused you and me so much harm. Why don’t you hate her? You came to her alone from so afar. Have you ever thought of bumping into your enemies? What would happen to you then? Even if you didn’t bump into your enemies, a sports bike accident would have caused an unimaginable result. Are you even willing to give up your life for her?”
“I told you. That’s not important.”
Halston wore a cold face and shoved her away. He then groped around and headed outside. “If you don’t want to tell me the truth, I’ll look for her on my own.”
“Let me… go with you. I know where she is. I’ll look for her with you.”
Even if she was full of hatred and fury, she could not bear to leave Halston alone, let alone Jovan, that cunning excuse of a man.
She wiped away her tears and quickly went forward to support him. “I told you. I’m your walking stick. I’ll be with you no matter where you want to go.”
“Seraphina, thank you. I know you’re a good girl. You won’t kill her.”
Halston looked in Seraphina’s direction in a daze. “Help me find her. I won’t hold you responsible if she’s fine.”
