Not every pretty girl from a rich family was weak, as nowadays many young generations born with a silver spoon would be well versed in both academics and martial arts, especially the family who had a daughter, as every parent wanted their daughters to be able to protect themselves.
Hayden gasped, telling herself that Joseph’s ex-girlfriend was really coming to look for trouble.
Besides having a stronger financial background than Hayden, she also knew how to play martial arts well. Moreover, she could be either cute or domineering. How could Hayden compare with her?
“Are you scared?”
Joseph looked at her faintly, “Don’t go if you are scared. I will help you to settle this matter, and I can guarantee that she will not mess with you again in the future.”
“No.”
Hayden looked at him sternly, “I have to settle this matter myself.”
If it was something related to their relationship, of course, she would like Joseph to be the one to deal with it. However, the matter at hand was something about the relationship between Addison and the fire, and the question of whether she had an accomplice. Her accomplice obviously wanted to kill her two children so she would always feel uneasy before she managed to find out the truth.
Seeing her sticking to her thoughts, Joseph did not say anything more.
“I always feel that this matter may be related to the person who had been trying to harm Noah.”
Hearing her words, Joseph turned around his head in the darkness, “The person who had been trying to harm Noah?”
“Yes.” Hayden nodded solemnly. “Don’t tell me you still don’t know or haven’t realized that someone has been deliberately planning to kill Noah.
During the six months in which Hayden spent together with Noah, the things that happened to Noah during these six months alone were enough to make Hayden’s heart throbbed for a moment. Furthermore, it was impossible that Joseph didn’t suspect why Noah encountered so many problems during these years.
As she expected, Joseph nodded his head, “I know.”
The light inside the car was very dim, and there was only some moonlight from the sunroof shining in the narrow space of the back seat, reflecting the cold look on Joseph’s face, “But it may not be the same person who did all the things.”
From his words, Hayden understood what he meant. She trembled with fear.
Many people wanted to harm Noah, not only just one or two.
“There have been many things that have happened to Noah, and I’m not so stupid that I can’t catch the person who did it every time. In fact, I have found out many times. It involved all sorts of people.”
Maybe it’s the gardener who came to prune the garden once a week or the maid who had been taking care of Noah for two or three years, or even it would be a distant relative of the family.
All these people had been on Joseph’s blacklist. They tried to harm Noah, not caring how close they were with Noah.
“Why?”
She raised her eyebrows angrily, “What exactly do they want from Noah? Are they crazy? Why are they trying to do such things to a child who can’t talk yet?”
“Because Noah is my only child and he will be the only one to inherit the ST Group.”
Joseph looked a bit powerless when he answered her question. She couldn’t read his mind. He seemed to sigh, lowering his head and saying with a low voice.
“It’s also because I neglected Noah too much before this, which made those people think that if they kill Noah, grandpa will have no one else to count on, and the power to manage the ST Group will be given to outsiders. Then, they can get a piece of the pie.”
There had been rumors about Joseph’s sexual orientation outside, not to mention that over the years, he only had one child who was Noah. He seemed like he did not want to get married, and that’s why they were trying to harm Noah now.
“You mean, the person who has been trying to harm Noah is somebody related to your family?”
“Yes.”
It’s something troublesome then.
Hayden frowned.
When she went to the house of the Beckham family that day, Harrison invited a large number of relatives who were close with him. These people alone had occupied two big round tables, not to mention those who were now settling in foreign countries, as well as some distant relatives who were not as close as these.
“Harrison told me last time, if I have any children, he would not pass the ST Group to me, but the one who is outstanding in the family.”
