President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free novel Chapter 90

“Sir has returned.”

The maid’s voice sounded and following it, a tall and rigid figure emerged from beyond the door. It was a man in his fifties and he was dressed immaculately in fine suit. He exuded an immensely serious aura.

When he saw Hayden in the living room, his feet stopped moving. A stupor appeared on his face as he whispered under his breath, “Florence…”

Hayden instantly stood up and greeted him, “Uncle.”

The man came back to her senses but he still looked lost. He studied Hayden for a while before cracking into a smile, “It’s you, Hayden? Look how much you have grown! Why are you here today? I heard previously that you have gone overseas for many years. When did you come back?”

He began a barrage of questions which improved Hayden’s sullied mood a little. She nodded, “I have come back to the country for a few months, and I have been busy at work.”

“You have secured yourself a job? Where are you working now?”

“I am working at the ST Hotel.” Hayden answered truthfully.

“Oh, it’s that ST Group. Sounds like you got yourself a great job.” The man was still ecstatic, “It has been more than a decade since I last saw you. I thought that I am seeing your mother just now. You can have dinner with us tonight.”

“What do you mean she is having dinner with us?”

Before Hayden could say anything, her aunt’s petty voice interrupted her uncle’s invitation, “Your niece has come back to the country because she wants to retrieve her mother’s inheritance. If it were not for that, I am afraid that she would never visit us again. Do you really think that she is paying us a visit because she misses you?”

A slight change occurred on that man’s face, “Inheritance?”

Hayden pursed her lips without saying anything.

With how things were looking at the moment, he didn’t have to think hard to figure out what was going on. The man glanced at his wife as he asked hesitantly, “Are you here because of that matter?”

“Yes.” Since things had come to this, Hayden had no choice but to come clean.

“What kind of inheritance is left? Even if it existed, ever since she was born, she had been staying with us for all her life. Did you think she could stay here for free? Everything would have been spent before long.”

The aunt glared at the man unhappily.

After a moment of silence, the man said in a low voice, “Hayden, I have heard your request. You can go back now.”

Hayden had not intended to delay her departure, so after hearing her uncle’s words, she revealed a self-deprecating smile before leaving with vehemence.

She shouldn’t have come here today. At that time when her grandfather had passed away, it was this aunt who had labelled her as a bringer of bad luck. It was this same person who had shunned her from the family. Everything she ever owned had been delivered to the Downey family without hesitation. Her aunt had made herself clear that from that moment on, she could not return to her home anymore. Her path back home had been severed.

Now, she needed their help although the circumstances were never in her favour. Perhaps, she was really foolish and naive.

After Hayden had left, the man held his knees as he settled onto the sofa, “You never touch any of the assets left by Hayden’s mother, so why did you say all of that just to ignite her hatred?”

“I intend to do that all along.”

Hayden’s aunt who looked petty revealed a hint of hatred on her face, “All those years before, Florence was too weak. All she could think of is Bentley Downey, but what fate awaited her? How could Bentley abandon his wife and live a good life later on? Hayden is his biological daughter, so her father has no choice but to pay attention to her. Hayden that rascal actually looks smart, yet I didn’t anticipate that she is actually very foolish. She is just like her mother; She should look for her father if she encounters any problem instead of coming to us. What does she mean by doing that?”

“I don’t think he is the type to not repent. Two days ago, I met him and he actually mentioned Florence.”

“He still has the nerve to bring up her name?” Hayden’s aunt gnashed her teeth in hatred, “What is there for him to repent? I want him to always see with his own eyes the daughter which was delivered by his wife with the price of her life. Only by doing that, he will always be reminded that Florence as died for him all those years ago. He won’t be able to have peace of mind forever.”

Upon hearing that, the man could only let out a sigh. He no longer had anything to say.
