The CEO's Lovely Twins

Chapter 55 I Won'T Cry

Hayden’s words were so intriguing.

Joseph was also not someone to be trifled with. He said explicitly, “Hayden doesn’t give a shit to the

fortune of the Downey family. If you deliberately make things difficult for her for this reason, I don’t mind

talking to Hayden’s father in person. I think Mr. Downey probably is kept in the dark about her

domineering daughter bullying and scheming against her pure sister.”

Due to Joseph’s presence, the onlookers quickly changed their attitudes towards the matter and those

who knew about the truth yet didn’t dare to spill it out also began to talk in whispers.

“I heard that Mr. Downey’s marriage with his current wife is a second marriage. His first wife had given

birth to a daughter back then. I guess this lady is that daughter.”

“That seems to be the case. So Chelsea Downey is the illegitimate one, right?”

“Probably. The daughter of Mr. Downey’s first wife never showed up in front of the public before and

therefore few people know her. But we can deduce from this that Mr. Downey has protected this

daughter well.”

Chelsea shivered all over as she was so furious when seeing that her image as the legitimate daughter

of the Downey family that she had been painstakingly built over the years was going to be ruined. Her

boyfriend, who had been standing by her side, suddenly turned around and left. Chelsea stomped her

feet and shouted, “Byron White, where are you going?” She then hurriedly chased after him.

Chelsea left the bridegroom Kingsley and the bride Michelle behind.

Kingsley’s parents walked over after hearing about the commotion here. When they saw Hayden, they

were stunned for a while. But as they had experienced a lot of big events, they quietly came to their

own senses and vigorously apologized to Joseph and Hayden. Kingsley’s mother tugged his sleeve

secretly while shooting a glare at him.

“Hurry up to apologize to Mr. Beckham. See how you have messed up the matter.”

Knitting his brows, Kingsley glanced at Joseph and murmured the word ‘sorry’ reluctantly.

Michelle reacted quickly. Seeing that they were in the unfavorable position now, she quickly changed

her expressions and intimately held up Hayden’s hand all smiles, “There must be some

misunderstandings. Hayden, you and Mr. Beckham are our distinguished guests. Please don’t take it to

your hearts. It’s bad if it dampens your spirits. Let’s open the champagne.”

“Yep. Open the champagne and let it sweep away the bad moods.”

The guest who were watching the show had dispersed, but no one knew what they were thinking

inwardly. Nevertheless, Hayden knew deep down that her identity as Joseph’s fiancée would be spread

out after this farce.

“Sorry for having bothered you. Can we handle this matter later?”

After opening the champagne, Hayden and Joseph walked abreast in the banquet hall. Hayden kept

down her voice and asked him about the matters related to how to suppress rumors.

Joseph looked quite composed as if he didn’t take it seriously, “Leave it alone.”

Hayden took it for granted that what Joseph meant was that she didn’t need to be bothered as

someone else would handle it. She nodded and shifted to the other topic, asking, “By the way, how

come that you were here? Aren’t you supposed to go to the forest?”

“Your friend brought the two children back. I heard that you came here for your ex-boyfriend’s

engagement banquet and I was curious.”

“Curious?” Hayden’s expressions froze.

“I’m curious about how you look like when you’re crying.”

“Cry? How could it be possible?” Hayden twitched her mouth, “It’s all about the past. Do you think that I

come here to make myself drunk and make a fuss in their engagement banquet?”

“If you can do this, Stella and Noah wouldn’t have threatened me to come here.”

Hayden was a bit stunned and asked in amusement, “So it turns out it is Stella and Noah who asked This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

you to come here?”

“Yep.”

Hayden felt speechless while at the same time a bit disappointed.

She knew that Noah liked her so much and that Stella wished so much that she and Joseph would

become a couple, so these two clever children could probably have come up with some tricks.

But what disappointed her was that Joseph didn’t come to find her on his own will.

When she was lost in her thoughts, she heard Joseph’s teasing words, “On the other hand, comparing

to picking up leaves with Noah for the homework of his painting course in the forest, I’m more

interested in coming to see what mental preparation you have made that you actually dared to attend

the engagement banquet of your ex-boyfriend who had two-timed you and your hypocritical ex-bestie,

alone.”

“Yuck.” In a miff, Hayden pushed his arm, “Don’t rub it in.”

If he didn’t come to the engagement banquet to support her, she would have been bullied.

“How could I know that Chelsea was also present? I was caught off guard.”

“Are you afraid of her?”

“Who’s afraid of her?” Hayden widened her eyes and glared at Joseph with dissatisfaction. As if

suddenly thinking of something, she asked in doubt, “How do you know that Chelsea is my elder sister.”

Joseph looked down at her and said righteously, “You’re the person who drives my son to school and

back and is very intimate with him in usual times. Don’t you think that I should investigate into your

background?”

Hayden coughed embarrassedly as she was rendered speechless.

Joseph took a step forward, “Don’t you think that I’ve showed you great trust since even if you, the

second daughter of the Downey family, had tampered with your CV and worked as a manager of the

hotel under the control of my group, I didn’t doubt that you would have some other intentions?”

“I have no other intentions.” Hayden hurriedly shook her head, “I purely want to support my family.”

Joseph studied her thoughtfully for a long while and suddenly raised his hand to tuck her messy hair

behind her ears, leaned slightly forward and said in a gentle voice, “I see.”

Hayden blushed.

Kinsley saw the romantic scene from afar. Staring at Hayden’s bright smile and their intimate postures,

he clenched his fists in depression. If he hadn’t made that unwise decision, she should be the woman

who marries him today.

Michelle, who was chitchatting with her besties, happened to turn her head when mentioning about

Kingsley and noticed his gloomy look. Following his lines of gaze, she saw Hayden and the smile on

her face gradually disappeared.

She had tried hard to let Kinsley to forget Hayden thoroughly over the years, but failed.

“Michelle, what are you thinking?” Her bestie’s voice pulled her back to reality.

Michelle stared at her glass for a moment, and then suddenly raised her head and said in a gloomy

voice, “Rena, can you do me a favor?”

Joseph received a phone call from his butler during the engagement banquet and went to the balcony

to answer the call, leaving Hayden to enjoy the food and beverage in a boring state.

“Hayden.”

Hayden looked up and saw two women who were her university roommates back then and two strange

men. One of her roommate who had short hair greeted Hayden enthusiastically, “Hayden, we haven’t

met with each other for so long. You look more beautiful than before.”

“Thank you.” Hayden smiled politely. She had just lived for a year with them in the university times, so

they were not that acquainted with each other and she could barely remember their names.

After exchanging some pleasantries, one of them proposed, “We haven’t met for so long and I think we

should have a toast.”

Hayden had no problem with the proposal. She raised her glass and gulped down the wine in it. But

before she could put down the glass, the other woman raised her own glass, “Oh, and I want to toast

with you too. Hayden, my bed was opposite to yours back them. Do you remember it? Come one, drink

it.”

After finishing the words, she gulped down the wine and said, “You should drink this glass of wine.”

“Yes, I remember it.” Hayden nodded and gulped down the wine unwillingly.
