“I don’t care what you think—it’s impossible for me to reconcile with Halston.
If making you pick sides puts you in a dilemma, I’ll be considerate.
I’ll cut off my relationship with you and assume that we had never been reunited with each other.
From then on, well have nothing to do with each other!” Quinton refused to compromise.
He had faced too many hardships and lost too much, so he could not afford to be soft-hearted at such a critical moment.
“Would you really do that?” Flossie’s eyes were wide and watery.
She never expected that Quinton would give her up for the sake of revenge, even though she would have done anything for him.
Of course she was hurt, but she knew he was only like this because of his past.
She couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
“Quinton, I know you only said such things because you’re blinded by your hatred.
I won’t take it to heart.
Both you and I need a few days to calm down, and after that, I think we can find a solution.” After that, she went downstairs alone.
“Ah, Phoenix…” When Haze saw her leave sadly, he sighed deeply.
He paused briefly, then went after her.
However, Flossie did not go far.
She went to the large pagoda tree in the yard and sat on the swing, swinging back and forth sadly.
The chilly night breeze caused flowers to fall off the tree one by one, and they stuck to her hair and lips.
It was a rather enchanting scene.
She then looked up at the starry sky and recalled her childhood.
Both her father and grandfather would sit on the rattan chairs playing chess, while her mother would pick fresh roses and peonies to put into a porcelain vase.
Cutie would walk around her mother’s feet, keeping her company.
Flossie felt like she could still hear her family’s happy laughter.
How did things turn out this way? “Dad, Mom, are you guys okay?” Flossie leaned her head against the rope of the swing as tears filled her eyes.
They slowly rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed.
“Did I make a mistake? I was only seeing things my way and wanted a perfect ending and reconciliation, but I never considered Quinton’s feelings.
Maybe deep down, I’m biased…’ “Yes, you are!’ Haze’s voice rang out suddenly from behind her.
He had been standing there and observing her for a long time.
At first, he did not want to disturb her private time, but when he heard her words, he was worried that she might blame herself.
Hence, he stepped forward to snap her out of her thoughts.
Even if she despised him, at least she would not be so sad or lonely.
“Haze, you pervert! Why were you eavesdropping on me?” Flossie quickly wiped away her tears and glared at him fiercely.
She couldn’t deny that she was angry at him.
If he hadn’t lured Quinton with his investment, Quinton might have still considered cooperating with Halston for the sake of profit.
If the two families ever decided to cooperate with each other, they would be in the same boat even if they did not earn money.
They wouldn’t be fighting all the time, and she would finally be at ease.
They bickered like an old couple, and eventually, Flossie’s mood improved.
She knew he was trying to make her happy, and smiled at him.
“Haze, to be honest, you’re not that bad when you’re not behaving like a scumbag… Thank you.’ Haze chuckled and flashed her a grin.
“You know, your compliments aren’t too bad either.” They smiled at each other as if they were long-lost soulmates.
“Haze, do you really think I’m biased?” Flossie sighed, hoping Haze could help her analyze the situation from the view of a third person.
“Do you want to hear the truth?” Haze asked her, smiling faintly.
“Yes.
It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about upsetting me.’ “Well, on the surface, you seem to be partial towards Quinton, but in actual fact, you’re more partial towards Halston…” Haze said contemplatively, then pursed his lips and said oddly, “But it’s normal.
After all, he’s your ex- husband, and of course lovestruck women like you would put your husbands above everything else!” “No, that’s not it! I just feel that Quinton is having a very hard time since he’s living with so much hatred and all he can think about is taking revenge.
What’s more, the Guajardo family won’t be an easy enemy.
If he keeps provoking them, he’ll get into trouble.” “You’re not him, and you’ve never walked in his shoes.
What right do you have to ask him to let go of his grudges?” Haze raised his brows and said seriously, “If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to reconcile with my enemy so easily.
The business he worked hard for was ruined as well as his face.
You know, my family also has a rule of seeking revenge and never letting bygones be bygones.’ “Yes, you’re right but… My family was on friendly terms with the Guajardo family.
I feel that Grandpa, Dad, and Mom wouldn’t want to see us fight against them,” Flossie admitted.
“That’s just an excuse!” Haze exclaimed.
“If the Guajardo family was on such good terms with the Ellsworth family, why didn’t they do anything when the Ellsworth family was facing trouble back then? When your family fell, the Guajardo family immediately replaced your family and became the head of The Great Eight of Beach City.
To be honest, I don’t think they were on very good terms with your family.” “It was unexpected.
My family went bankrupt so fast, and nobody even had time to react.
I guess it was the same with the Guajardo family too.
It was already very hard for them since Halston was forced to marry me…” Flossie was not an ungrateful person.
She did not need the protection of the Guajardo family given her capabilities, but the Guajardo family had indirectly made a lot of enemies when they allied themselves with the Ellsworth family through Flossie and Halston’s marriage.
“You’re an exemplary person, so of course it would be their gain if Halston married you.
