President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 226

The pianist continued to play the piano in the hall. Joseph's voice drowned out by the music the pianist played. Hence, it didn’t raise the attention of the whole restaurant. However, people who sat nearby Hayden’s table gave them some very peculiar looks.

Edison responded first from the surprise. He asked a waiter to take care of Stella and got her out of the dining hall.

Hayden then recovered from the shock. She took a glance at the woman standing behind Joseph, and her expression turned cold, “What does it have to do with you?”

Joseph glared at Edison and said coldly, “This is your definition of an ordinary friend? You would invite an ordinary friend to spend a family day together?”

Joseph saw Edison walking out of Hayden’s place the other day, and she sounded plausible during their fight. Even if he said that he saw Edison walking out of her place, Hayden insisted Edison was just an ordinary friend. Joseph even doubted himself because of that.

Now that Joseph had seen Edison in a nearer distance, his instinct told him that Edison didn’t see Hayden as just an ordinary friend.

“Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

Hayden was disappointed in Joseph’s aggressive question. She took a deep breath, “Joseph, I have nothing to talk to you. Please leave.”

Joseph clenched his fists and sneered, “Good. I’m leaving.”

There was a touch of coldness in his eyes. He grasped Hayden’s wrist and pulled her out of her seat, “You are leaving with me.”

He felt cheated. The idea of being cheated from the beginning made him crazy. He wanted an explanation.

At the same time, a strong hand grasped Joseph’s arm. Joseph’s arm was pulled away from Hayden and stopped him from leaving with Hayden. Joseph frowned and turned around. He saw Edison’s calm face.

Edison said, “Mr. Beckham, I’m afraid it is inappropriate.”

“It has nothing to do with you,” Joseph put on a straight face, and he sounded so cold, “This is between me and her. Stay away.”

Edison stood up, but he continued to grasp Joseph’s arm. He looked gentle and said calmly, “Hayden is a grown-up woman, and she can go anywhere at her will. The problem now is whether she wants to leave with you.”

“It doesn’t matter if she wanted to leave with me or not. This is between me and her.” Joseph impatiently tried to pull Hayden away from Edison.

“What a shame.”

Edison applied more strength on Joseph’s arm and made sure Joseph couldn’t move an inch. Edison’s voice was soft but determined, “Respecting and guarding Hayden’s will is important to me.”

The coldness in Joseph’s eye grew stronger. If the coldness in Joseph’s eyes could kill, Edison has already been killed so many times.

Joseph warned Edison in a cold tone, “Mr. Godfery, this is the Nanking city. Not Manhattan.”

As long as Edison wanted to start his business in Nanking city, he had to recognise who is the boss here, no matter how well-respected Edison was in Wall Street and the financial sector.

And the boss of Nanking city is the Beckham family.

The sound of the piano stopped. It already felt like war when Joseph and Edison glared at each other.

The people in the restaurant could clearly felt something was going on between Joseph and Edison. Some even started to take out their phone to take photos. However, the moment they turned on their phone camera, some men who looked like bodyguards appeared and reminded them to turn off their phone.
