A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Chapter 7 - A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

"Mhm, if you're okay with it, that is." Jessanna beamed. In reality, she just wanted to humiliate Flossie in front of Halston because she figured Flossie would refuse.

No matter how generous one may be, no woman would ever help name the baby of her husband and his mistress.

Halston narrowed his eyes, staring at Flossie with mixed feelings. "If it's too much, you're free to refuse her offer."

Although their divorce was certain, he somewhat wished to defend her, especially seeing how awkward she seemed. However, it would seem that... he was reading too much into it.

"It's fine. It's not hard to come up with a name."

Rather than awkward, Flossie actually felt quite amused, raising a brow cheekily. "Let's name him... Karma Guajardo!"

"Huh... Connor Guajardo?" Jessanna was slightly shocked at Flossie's response, her mask shedding for a brief moment. "Do you mean... C-O-N-N-O-R?"

"Oh no, no. I mean K-A-R-M-A. You reap what you sow, right? Karma will hunt anyone down and make them face the consequences of their actions. See, what a meaningful name!"

As soon as Flossie explained, Jessanna looked rather infuriated, but she simply couldn't afford to lose her cool in front of Halston. Hence, she merely gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger with all her might.

Flossie continued. "Thanks for this lovely opportunity, Miss Ximenez. Remember to use the name I came up with, alright? Else I'd think you were just faking your gratitude towards me, you know!"

Halston's face was stone cold, his eyes focused on Flossie. "Enough, don't cross the line."

"Who really crossed the line here, future ex-husband?" Flossie questioned, not afraid to meet his gaze in the slightest. "Or should I say... Mr. Cheater?

Halston clenched his fists tightly, unable to respond.

In the past, he had always perceived this woman as a boring little puppet with no opinions. He didn't think she would have such a feisty attitude like she was a feline with sharp claws. She didn't need his protection at all.

Seeing this, Jessanna immediately played the victim card again, clinging to Halston's arm.

"Halston, please don't get mad at Miss Ellsworth. It's all my and the baby's fault! Miss Ellsworth was forced to give up on you even though she loves you so... It's natural for her to be upset with us! Just let her take her anger out on..."

"Nope, wrong again." Flossie scoffed. "You don't have to thank me because I've made myself loud and clear that I wasn't being generous. I merely threw away a piece of trash I didn't want, and you just happened to pick him up. That's why this baby is your karma. I told you the name suits it well, didn't I?"

She then turned to Halston with a fake smile across her lips. "Indecent people usually get bad karma though, Mr. Guajardo... I reckon that you will become rather unlucky in coming times."

Halston's expression darkened yet again, his blood boiling just hearing the woman speak.

"My mom used to tell me to avoid unlucky people, or else I might become unlucky myself. So you two should just tie the knot. I'll respect your decision, and I wish you well. Bye-bye now!"

All the previous insults were clearly an act of playing with fire since Halston Guajardo was the most influential figure within Beach City. No one would ever dare to provoke him the way she did.

So before Halston could do anything, Flossie quickly ran off after berating them. She didn't care about what they thought, she just wanted the satisfaction of doing so.
