Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love
Francine erupted in anger when she saw Halston holding onto Flossie so tightly like that, fearing that these two were back together again.
“You should ask your son!” replied Flossie.
“Why are you guys still standing there?” she added impatiently. “Hurry up and lend us a hand!”
Francine shouted at Flossie, “You’ve already divorced Halston, yet you still disturb him. Now you even dare to come to the Guajardo. Residence and provoke us. How could there be such a shameless woman like you!”
Elijah wanted to explain, but he was cut short by Flossie, who was a step quicker. She retorted back venomously, “Miss Francine, please widen your eyes and see who’s bothering who. You failed as a mother, for having a son so shameless.”
“You…”
Francine was so mad that she couldn’t construct her words properly.
“Before this, I was your daughter–in–law, and I respected you. But now that I am no longer related to the Guajardo family, I will sue you for emotional harm if you offend me again.”
After speaking, Flossie tried to push Halston away with all her strength but failed.
She couldn’t help but suspect that he was doing it on purpose.
“Halston, are you done fooling around? Let go of me, or I will hurt you!”
Flossie had her fist clenched, and she was about to strike him.
She didn’t want to spend another second in that place or see any of the people living there.
When Elijah saw this, he immediately ordered the people to assist in carrying Halston while explaining Flossie’s dilemma to them.
“Madam, you’ve misunderstood Miss Ellsworth. Mr. Guajardo became intoxicated and refused to let go of her, no matter how hard I tried to separate them. Miss Ellsworth was so concerned about hurting Mr. Guajardo that she came all the way here. She had good intentions and was the real victim!”
“Bullsh*t!”
Francine was so upset that her face looked purplish. “Halston wouldn’t be that shameless. She’s definitely the one who wouldn’t let go of him.”
She walked towards the two angrily and wanted to separate them.
However, it was true that Halston was indeed shameless. His slender arms wrapped around Flossie’s neck like a knot, and he refused to let her go.
Seeing this, Francine could only let her anger out on Jessanna as she yelled, “Are you stupid? Why are you standing there? Come and help me to separate them. You can’t even keep your man away from her.”
Jessanna’s nails dug into the flesh of her palms. She was already envious of Flossie, and now she despised her even more since she caused her to be scolded.
“Use more strength!”
Francine was red from trying to pull them apart as she yelled at Jessanna and Elijah.
She was unable to wait for another second and had to separate the two, right here and now.
With a few people’s help, Halston was dragged away from Flossie.
Indeed, he was completely sloshed. He forgot about his noble appearance and began behaving like a kid whose favorite toy had been taken away. “Flossie, don’t go!” he murmured unconsciously. “Come back to me. It’s dangerous outside. Faster, come to me.”
Seeing this, Jessanna grabbed on the opportunity, held on to Halston’s swaying body, and whispered, “I’m here.”
Halston hugged Jessanna like he had hugged Flossie earlier and continued to mumble drunkenly, “Good. Don’t go anywhere.”
She let him hold her while looking at Flossie provocatively. “I’m sorry for causing you problems, Miss Ellsworth. When Halston is drunk, he likes to hug random people. I’ll look after him. You may now return.”
Flossie stared at them being so close with sheer indifference, though she was a little disappointed inside.
‘Turns out I’m not that special after all. Halston will hug anyone as he did with me,‘ she thought dejectedly.
“Look after your man. If he comes to bother me again, I’ll call the police!”
With that, she turned and left without hesitation.
After Flossie left, Jessanna smiled satisfyingly.
She carried the drunken Halston and said to Francine, “Miss Francine, I’ll take Halston to the room now. I believe my engagement to Halston will be sealed soon after tonight.”
Francine nodded. “Yes. We need to grab hold of the opportunity.”
Although she wasn’t satisfied with Jessanna, compared to Flossie, Jessanna listened to her more.
She hoped that Jessanna could make use of tonight so that Flossie doesn’t try to come again.
Elijah was getting anxious as he stood by the side. He felt that Halston was in danger.
He couldn’t figure out how Flossie would be willing to give up the man she loved to a woman like Jessanna.
‘Could it be Mrs. Guajardo really doesn’t love Mr. Guajardo anymore? If that’s the case, Mr. Guajardo will be in a lot of trouble!‘ he thought to himself.
“Halston, I’ll take you to your room.”
Suddenly, Halston pushed Jessanna away and said emotionlessly, “Go away. You’re not her.”
Seeing this, Jessanna was a little stunned and asked carefully, “Halston, have you sobered up?”
He didn’t respond, but his body swayed slightly, and he seemed dazed. He was still drunk.
Elijah quickly took the opportunity and held Halston. “Miss Ximenez, you don’t understand Mr. Guajardo. He doesn’t like it when women touch him, especially when drunk. So, there’s no need to trouble you tonight. I’ll take care of him.”
Jessanna felt that Elijah was troublesome as he clearly treated her like a fool.
“Hahaha. Stop joking, Mr. Young. You’re telling me that he doesn’t like to be touched by women? Then, why did he hug Miss Ellsworth so tightly? And how did I even get pregnant?”
“I’ve no idea how you got pregnant, Miss Ximenez, but as to why Mr. Guajardo was hugging Miss Ellsworth so tightly, isn’t the answer obvious?”
He looked at her indifferently and remarked sarcastically, “It’s because Miss Ellsworth is the rightful Mrs. Guajardo. They were husband and wife for four years, so he’s naturally used to her touch. He, however, dislikes getting touched by a shameless. woman.”
“Mr. Young, what are you implying?”
Jessanna had lost all patience and revealed her true self. “Who are you calling shameless? Halston had divorced Miss Ellsworth. I am the rightful Mrs. Guajardo!”
“I didn’t mean you, Miss Ximenez. But seeing how you’re panicking, you’re definitely guilty.”
Jessanna clenched her fist and chuckled coldly. “Miss Ellsworth and Halston had divorced, yet you’re so protective of her. Could it be that you like her?”
To her, Elijah was just a worker. He wasn’t a threat to her, so she wasn’t afraid of offending him.
When she became Mrs. Guajardo, she would definitely fire him.
Elijah merely smiled but didn’t say a word.
However, Francine scolded her with a cold face. “Don’t talk nonsense. You can’t talk to Mr. Young like that. Don’t blame me for being cruel if I hear you being rude to Mr. Young again.”
Hearing this, Jessanna immediately kept her mouth shut as she trembled in fear.
