In the Beckhams' Mansion, Harrison had just finished his dinner when he was told that Magnus was here.
The living room was filled with the aroma of tea. Harrison looked at Magnus sharply and asked him, “You didn’t work at the ST Group recently. Did Joseph ask you to do anything?”
Magnus was surprised, “You already knew?”
Although Harrison asked Magnus, he had already done the investigation. He asked Magnus to come just for the confirmation. It was the same every time when Magnus came to find him.
“Tell me about the girl, Pola.”
Harrison took a sip of his tea with a frown, and there was something a little severe and forbidding about his face.
Magnus swallowed hard, but his throat felt dry, so he sipped the tea as well.
“Six years ago, Mr. Beckham asked Caesar to arrange for the surrogacy. And they planned to ask the surrogate mother to go abroad after she bore a child. But, Pola accidentally replaced the girl they had arranged in the beginning and came to the hotel. Nevertheless, Caesar sent someone to spy on Pola for some time and found that she was pregnant, so they asked her to give birth to the children.”
Magnus explained that briefly. Harrison was shocked and a bit angry, “That’s absurd.”
In Harrison’s mind, it was absurd that Joseph pursued surrogacy to deal with him. And Joseph even made a mistake unconsciously.
“Such a good girl, what a jerk!”
Magnus explained for Joseph carefully, “Caesar should have compensated Pola.”
“Compensate?” Harrison was more irritated, “He really believes that he can do whatever he wants with his money.”
The atmosphere in the living room was getting more and more intense.
Feeling awkward, Magnus kept drinking his tea, and he was almost full.
Mark tried to break the tension, so he whispered, “Mr. Beckham, Mr. James hasn’t finished his words. You should calm down and let him explain why this girl comes back.”
Hearing this, Harrison nodded his head.
Magnus breathed with a relief secretly, “That’s because Joseph found something went wrong with the surrogacy. Then he sent me to investigate. After the further confirmation, I found Pola was that girl. She was married, but she had no kid. Besides, her husband got the advanced gastric cancer, and there was no much time left for him.”
Harrison felt pity for this.
“We should offer to help now that we know about that.”
Magnus shook his head, “Mr. Beckham told me to transfer the money to her, but she didn’t receive. She said it was impossible to cure her husband, so the money was useless. She would go to Britain for further study after her husband’s funeral six months later. But she did not have a kid after she got married, so she only wished to meet little Noah before she went abroad.”
Harrison said in a low voice, “That seems a reasonable request.”
“Mr. Beckham, I think we should discuss this later,” Mark reminded, “If Noah met his mother, what should Ms. Downey do?”
Hearing this, Harrison frowned deeply.
That was a tricky problem, he thought.
After Hayden met Pola in the restaurant, she was talking about business with her clients these days. She attended plenty of dinners and she went to the hotel to sleep most of the time.
In fact, she was not that busy, but she was trying to avoid meeting Joseph.
Harrison’s birthday party was before the Christmas, and the invitation letter was sent to the Green Lemon Clothing which signaled that the Beckham family and Green Lemon Clothing would establish business relations in the future.
