Joseph’s voice was calm and emotionless, which amazed Hayden.
Hayden said then, “Joseph, I know what you mean, but she is your mother, and Benjamin is also our friend...”
“No, please don’t speak more.” Before Hayden finished speaking, Joseph interrupted her.
His voice was still indifferent, as if he really didn’t care about this matter.
“I won’t help them. She is not one of Beckham twenty years ago when she left the family. I’m not gonna help her because her troubles have nothing to do with me. You should go back, now.
Joseph said this firmly. He had made his mind.
“I regard Benjamin as my brother. You should help him.”
“I just know your only brother is Freddie.”
“You...” Hayden was helpless. She didn’t know what to say, and meanwhile, she was irritated, “Fine, I’ll help him. I can also get twenty million. I’ll do that, and it’s none of your business.”
Then she hung up the phone.
As she turned back and looked at the inn, she felt angrier.
She always thought Joseph was not as indifferent as he looked. Though his mother made mistakes before, it was history. Rebekah gave birth to him, and there was actually no hatred between them, so why did he refuse to help his mother?
The more Hayden thought about this, the angrier she got.
“Hello? Dante, please check how much cash we have now.”
“...”
Hayden continuously made phone calls. She got all the money she could get, but it was still much less than twenty million. After all, she couldn’t sell those properties immediately.
Hayden sat on the first floor and was worried.
In the early evening, the sound of the engine appeared out of the inn. The car from Nanking stopped there.
Magnus got there.
“Ms. Downey, Mr. Beckham asked me to find you back. It’s dangerous for you to drive alone at night.”
However, no matter how much effort Magnus made to persuade Hayden, Hayden just sat there and didn’t speak.
“Ms. Downey, it’s my task. I can’t go back alone if you don’t go with me.”
Hayden glanced at Magnus and said with anger, “So don’t go back. There are rooms in this inn, but you should pay for it. Credit is not allowed tonight.”
“Huh...”
Magnus was helpless, “Mr. Beckham’s decision is also for your own good. Please go back with me. He often speaks gruffly, but if you go back with me, he will say nothing this time.”
“Gruffly?” Hayden was surprised, “What does he want to say?”
Magus hesitated for a second, and then said carefully.
“He said he has lost touch with those people for twenty years, and now they planned to be kidnapped not so long after they met Mr. Beckham. Beckham has money, and twenty million is not a big number, but they can’t defraud Beckham in such a disgusting way.”
Hayden got furious when she heard this. She pounded the desk and stood up.
“Does he lose his mind? Defraud? Ha! Does he think Benjamin defraud him by being kidnapped? Benjamin is a student at the University of Public Security! He has a promising future. He won’t cheat Beckham like this.”
Magnus didn’t dare to say anything. He just lowered his head and heard Hayden scold him.
The boss said Ms. Downey would go back with him as long as he did as he said. Boss’s plan looked useless. It seemed that Mr. Downey wouldn’t go back after hearing that.
However, just when he was secretly murmuring, he heard Hayden say, “I’m gonna go back to ask him.”
