Chelsea froze for a moment, “Dad, I’m not freaking out. I just felt that Hayden came back with no good intentions at all. You should be careful not to be fooled by her.”
“She’s your younger sister.” Bentley frowned, “You haven’t come back for so many years. Now, you’re back but you’re giving me this kind of attitude, what do you want to do?”
“I don’t have such a shameless sister!”
Chelsea crossed her arms with a smug look on her face, “Dad, I guess you still don’t know about the disgraceful things that Hayden had done. At first, she lied to us that she was studying abroad, but what happened was she simply had a child out of wedlock. She went overseas to give birth to the child and hid it from all of us. What’s more, no one knew who the father was.”
Both Chelsea and her mother were sure that once her father knew about this, he would be furious. However, Sofia still pretended to comfort him, “Bentley, don’t be too mad at her. I think Hayden was simply confused. Moreover, she was too young back then.”
Hayden didn’t say a word to defend herself, but her eyes were filled with contempt and gave a mocking sneer.
“Grandpa.”
A childish voice broke the stagnant atmosphere. It also broke the expectations of Chelsea and her mother.
Stella ran out from the study room, her hands still holding Bentley’s most treasured antique tobacco pipe. She was rubbing her eyes with a drowsy look, “Grandpa, I want to eat cupcakes.”
The coldness on Bentley’s face melted instantly. He bent down and pick Stella up, then he headed downstairs, “Okay, let’s go eat cupcakes.”
Although he did not respond to Chelsea’s complaint, such an act was undoubtedly a big slap in the face of Chelsea and her mother.
It was a slap with silence.
Chelsea’s face was livid. She could hardly believe what she had seen. She kept gritting her teeth until Hayden was finally out of the door.
“What tactic did you use to make Dad accept this wild child of yours so easily?!”
“Chelsea Downey, keep your mouth clean.”
Hayden stared at her with cold eyes and lowered her voice, “You’re keeping a toy boy in my house? Guess what Dad will say if he knows about it?”
Almost instantly, she saw Chelsea’s face turned white.
Hayden didn’t bother to talk to her anymore. She pulled open the car door and said: “Sir, let’s move.”
The car left, leaving Chelsea standing alone at the door. She clenched her fist tightly, as if she wanted to embed her nails into the flesh. Her face was full of gloom.
On the other hand, Sofia was carrying a cup of tea upstairs. She heard Bentley on the phone through the study door.
“Mr. Lennon, I’ll leave this to you then. The transfer of share rights needs to be made public, but the transfer of real estate can be done as soon as possible.”
“Yes, you’re right. I’m sure to transfer it all to my granddaughter’s name. If it goes to Hayden, she might not be willing to accept it.”
“… …”
The elderly’s voice came out through the door gap. Sofia’s hand, which was holding the tea tray, was trembling slightly. After a few seconds of hesitation, she dropped a pill into the cup of tea. Her eyes were eventually filled with a sinister and determined look.
“Bentley Downey, you forced me to do this.”
At night, Hayden brought Stella back to Alayna’s house.
In the middle of the night, Hayden heard voices of a man and a woman talking inside the room. Hayden opened the door and took a glance through the gap. The scene was way too sexy and X-rated. She quickly closed her eyes and then closed the door.
It was not a peaceful night.
The next morning, Hayden was busy making breakfast ready at the dining table. She took a deep breath when she saw the door of Alayna’s room open.
“Wow, meat dumpling, I like it.”
Alayna looked like nothing had happened. She sat down directly on a chair, simply picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth.
