Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 23

Hayden answered the call.

"Where are you? We want to meet you," Anna said directly.

We? Did she tell someone else? Was it Julia? There was no way she informed Charlotte, right?

Those thoughts entered Hayden's mind. He was unsure but was pleased about the meeting. "I'll wait for you at the café in Nebula Tower," he said before hanging up.

He then turned to Melanie and politely declined. "As you heard, I have other things to attend to."

"Okay…" Melanie looked visibly disappointed but handed him her business card. "This is my contact number. If you have time, please feel free to reach out."

She took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling. She had developed a strange feeling for Hayden. He seemed so mysterious and mature, nothing like the naivety seen on his face.

This was a quality she hardly saw in her peers. If given the chance, she wanted to get to know him better.

"Sure, I'll reach out when the opportunity arises." Hayden smiled and accepted the card.

After that, he headed to the café where he was supposed to meet Anna. He ordered three cups of coffee and waited quietly.

Finally, two stunning figures appeared, instantly catching the attention of many in the café. Anna and Julia were breathtakingly beautiful, and their brilliance drew everyone's gaze.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, they sat across from Hayden.

"Drink up," Hayden said calmly while sipping his coffee. However, his eyes glinted with amusement.

With that, Julia managed to steady her emotions. Her gaze once again turned icy as she focused on Hayden. "I went to that neighborhood and saw the truth," she said truthfully.

"Is that so? Well, you can take it from here. I don't want to get involved further." Hayden shrugged, preparing to stand up and leave.

He believed that the two intelligent women from the Sterling family would surely take action once they learned about this.

The Sterlings would definitely be thrown into turmoil.

However, Julia's words pierced through the air like a needle, hitting Hayden's eardrums. "How much do you want? Let's end this here."

Hayden seemed to feel a sharp pain as he abruptly halted in his tracks. He looked at Julia with a look of disbelief. "End this here? What do you mean?"
