Chapter 40:. Although he knew Stella was very clingy with him, Joseph never thought this girl intended to pair him and his mother. He froze for a few seconds before regaining his presence of mind. He stroked Stellas head, but she didnt answer anything. Noah really likes my mommy too. Stella made a killer move and winked as she spoke, You can ask Noah, Im sure he sincerely hopes my mommy can become his mommy. Josephs gaze landed on the hospital bed. He asked hesitantly, Noah, is it true? Noah nodded his head vigorously. Joseph frowned and heard Stellas voice again. Sir, Noah doesnt like superstar at all. If you want to get a wife, you should consider his opinion! My mommy has always told me that she will ask my opinion if she wants to get a husband. What she meant was that, if Joseph agreed, Hayden would agree, too. Puzzled, Joseph wanted to laugh and cry at the same time, asking. Stella, dont you have a father? I have, but since I grew up, I havent seen my father more than twice in a year. Stella sighed like a bitter-faced young adult, Its sad, isnt it?. As she spoke, she secretly gauged Josephs expression as well. Joseph somehow could understand her mind. No wonder Stella followed Haydens last name. It was probably because her father and Hayden didnt have a close relationship so they parted ways a long time ago. Worse she still dared to criticize him, she also didnt have enough care for her daughter since she didnt even know what her daughter really wanted. As Joseph analyzed the relationship between husband and wife, the children looked at each other slyly. In the eyes of both of them shone lights that signified goal accomplished. … Are you sure no one saw what happened there that night?. In the golf course cafeteria, Violet, who was dressed in a casual suit, was quietly sipping coffee. As she smiled an extraordinarily pleasant smile, she waved occasionally to the producer swinging the golf club on the other side of the window overlooking the roof. But as soon as she turned her head to look at the agent, her face abruptly stiffened. Dont worry, Violet. The agent had a relaxed look on his face. gⱯlnσν????????s․com is where dreams unfold I questioned them all with indirect questions. That day, those maids were very busy distributing the gifts among themselves, so there was no one in the place. When they arrived, the child had already been lying on the floor for a while. Its not hard at all to hide it from those fools. Even if someone has seen it, Im not afraid, as a large amount of money can allow a person to do anything. Im only afraid of the matter that Harrison has asked them to go and investigate the villa, are you sure they wont find out anything? Harrison is very smart. Im sure they cant find out anything. When I send people to question the maids, do you know what they said? What? They say that, for so many years, theyve never seen their young master bring a woman home, but theyve seen you in his bed. In this case, do you think they will continue to suspect you?. When this matter was brought up, Violet felt instantly triumphant: I definitely have great skills. Do you really think I have learned nothing but to accompany Joseph these six years? The fact that Joseph was not a womanizer was known to almost everyone in N City, that apart from Violet, he had absolutely no women around him. Many people even suspected him of being gay. Regarding this point, Violets agent suspected that too, but Violet didnt take it seriously. I dont care if he likes men or women. What I want is not for him to like them, but for the title of young owner of the Beckham Family. As they conversed, a figure in the distance stopped for a few seconds. After the person clearly saw that it was Violet, she excitedly approached, Violet, what a coincidence, are you here too?. Hearing a familiar voice, Violet raised her head and made a surprised face. Chelsea? Why are you here too?. Chelsea was dressed in an elegant beige suit and carrying a limited edition Chanel handbag. She took off her sunglasses and showed a well-groomed, smiling face. The agent just nodded in greeting. I just got here. Chelsea put her bag aside, I was supposed to come to play with a friend here but when I arrived, suddenly my friend said she has something to do so she cant come. I was about to leave, but then I unexpectedly bump into you. Its been more than a year since weve seen each other, right?. Yes, youre busy since youre still acting in a play every day, unlike me, whos very free. Can I be compared to you? You are the daughter of the Downey Family, so you dont have to run to make a living as an entertainment industry person like me. The two met during a business reception a few years ago. They maintained a close relationship, only lately they hadnt been in touch. After an exchange of pleasantries, Violet asked Chelsea how she was doing lately. Chelsea sighed. Everything is going well. But Ive been having some problems lately. Problems? Did I ever tell you that I have a younger sister, but we only share a father? Shes recently returned, so my father is starting to pay attention to her again. Last time he had agreed with my mother that he would leave the company to me. But recently he hesitated again, saying he needs more time to think about it. Is it possible that he doesnt know her intention? Actually, she is considering someone else. Younger sister? Violet was slightly surprised, How could you possibly have a younger sister? Ive never heard anyone else say it dont tell me shes your fathers illegitimate daughter? Chelsea frowned and said vaguely. Apparently, there is such a thing. Her name is Hayden Downey, since she was young she doesnt get along with us. Then he went to college to study medicine and always stayed in the school dorms. He has never participated in our circle events, so its normal that others dont know of his existence. When Violet heard the words Hayden Downey, her face changed. Hayden Downey? Chelsea Downey? Why hadnt she thought of that? I loathe her so much. Chelseas face suddenly darkened. If it werent for her, my mothers and my life should be so easy. But with her around, my dad worries about her being treated badly, so he always has her on his mind in every way. I get very irritated every time I think about this. Anyway, shes not your biological sister. Said Violet coyly, You and your mother dont like her. Besides, shes an illegitimate daughter, she can never replace you. Find a way to kick her out, isnt this kind of thing very common?. Chelsea didnt explain the illegitimate daughter thing. Hearing Violet criticize Hayden like this, it felt great. At that point, she also told Violet some of the past. Its not like I never did anything about it. I did six years ago, I managed to set her up to disgrace the Downey Family so that my father would safely give up on letting her inherit the family business. But unexpectedly, she disappeared at the most important moment. She was really capable, as she disappeared for half a year in the country and then went abroad, even stayed there for five years. Hearing this, Violets heart skipped a beat. She sensed that something wasnt right. But Chelsea kept chattering, It didnt matter to me because shes already gone, but why is she coming back after five years, what does she want to do, does she plan to fight for the family fortune with me and this is the reason she came back? Violet remembered the little girl who was always near Hayden, pondered for a moment and asked, Is your sister married? .
