President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 193

“Your family’s affairs?”

Scarlett seemed to have expected what he would say. She was not surprised, but her face turned colder.

“I’m not interested in your family’s affairs. What I want to know is, how exactly you plan to distribute your inheritance, since you don’t have much time left to live. How much do you plan to give Hayden? This girl is very shy like her mother, who is embarrassed to ask for anything, so as her senior, I am asking you now.”

When Florence passed away twenty-five years ago, Scarlett already despaired of Brook. He was a man who abandoned his wife, and she didn’t think he was a responsible man. However, Hayden was his daughter, and she should get all money that she deserved. After all, Florence was the one who helped Brook to start his business.

The ward was quiet. Everyone there was also concerned about the matter of inheritance, as it was related to them, especially Sofia and Chelsea.

“I’ve already given Hayden her part of the inheritance,”

Brook said as if he had experienced a lot of difficulties.

“Dad, what did you give her?” Chelsea asked Brook impatiently.

Brook raised her head and looked at her coldly, “I have given Green Lemon Clothing to Hayden.”

“Green Lemon Clothing?”

Chelsea didn’t even know that there was such a company under the Downey Group. When she was just about to ask Brook what it was, she was tugged by Sofia, who signaled her to keep quiet.

Because she was the only one who knew that Green Lemon Clothing was just a memento of Brook to Florence, which had been in financial deficit for the past few years and relied on the main company to maintain it. Giving the company to Hayden was like letting her inherit a poisoned chalice.

“Scarlett.” Hayden pulled Scarlett’s hand. “I don’t need anything else except Green Lemon Clothing, as it was mother’s company. Let’s go.”

Hearing her words, Scarlett frowned and said, “Okay.”

“Dad, I wish you a happy and healthy life when you go back.”

Brook didn’t raise his head to look at her, lowering his head thinking something. If someone looked at him carefully, his eyes were red, looking very sad and at a loss.

Hayden and Scarlett left the hospital side by side. They did not talk about what just happened.

“Scarlett, why did you come to the hospital?”

“I came to pick up a prescription, but the doctor was not around, and I heard that Brook was hospitalized so I wanted to taunt him. I didn’t expect he will be discharged today. What a disaster.”

“Such a coincidence?”

Hayden asked with a smile, “Is there someone who dares to mention my daddy in front of you?”

If Scarlett didn’t take the initiative to check Brook’s status herself, who would have dared to mention the Downey family in front of her?

There are no coincidences in this world, only encounters that were carefully arranged for someone or something.

Sofia glared at her.

“Don’t talk about it again. By the way, why did you choose to inherit a shitty company instead of something else?”

“It’s my mother’s company, and the other things mean nothing to me.”

“How much does the company worth? You didn’t inherit the good traits but only inherit the bad traits from her.” Scarlett looked disgusted. “You will cry if the company goes bankrupt.”

“How did my mother start the company? Was it smooth at the beginning?”

“It’s not smooth at all!”

Scarlett curled her mouth, “Do you think she is gifted in doing business? At that time, your grandfather looked for many people to help her, but she just sided with the outsiders instead of your grandfather. I can still remember the time when your grandfather prevented her from getting married until you were born…”

They were talking quite relaxingly at first, but later they still mentioned Florence’s death.

No one could know the feeling of seeing one’s child die earlier than one unless he or she experienced it.

After Florence gave birth to Hayden, she suffered from another hemorrhage when she was just out of the ward, and it was too late to resuscitate her. Then she passed away in the arms of her best friend, Scarlett, who was already her brother’s wife at that time, and she did not even have enough time to meet her father for the last time.
