Viola looked like she was anticipating such a reaction from her, and she let out a snort, “What’s that? You shameless third wheel, are you saying that a victim doesn’t have her right to voice her opinions? It would be best if Joseph is able to see your despicable face while he is probably thinking that you are a capable and virtuous. He must be thinking that you want to become the stepmother to his son willingly! You have an illegitimate child whose father is unknown, yet you have set your eyes on somebody else’s fiancée. It is an understatement to label you as a shameless woman.”
“Ms. Kidman.” Hayden suddenly look a step towards Viola and her face was darkened, “Let me warn you to watch your mouth. Do you understand human language?”
Viola was intimidated by the cold light in Hayden’s eyes. She couldn’t help taking a step back while forcing herself to respond, “What are you doing? Are you going to raise your hands to hit me?”
Hayden glared at her coldly, “I haven’t done anything yet, yet you think that I want to hit you. Your imagination is filling in the blanks while I was at Maldives because of work reasons by imagining that I was scheming to snatch your fiancé. You should search within yourself the reason your fiancé decided to terminate your engagement instead of blaming and venting your anger on someone else. I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you here.”
After saying that, he shot a cold glare at Viola without holding back before turning around and heading towards the door.
“Stop right there.” Viola was completely flustered.
“And one more thing.” Hayden held the knob of the door and she didn’t even look back, “I have recorded your speech when you were scolding me just now, and despite it not being able to become significant evidence, it would still be a threat to you if I upload it to the internet, no?”
“You…” Viola’s face had turned into a different color because of her anger, but she managed to swallow the words she was planning to use to scold Hayden.
She didn’t expect that Hayden would make a recording of her words. I have underestimated you, Hayden.
With a loud slam at the door, Hayden stood still in the corridor as she let out a breath slowly. Her thoughts and heart were muddy at the moment.
If this was the past, she would never handle this matter using such a way. Her rash actions made her realize that she was way too careful and nervous when it came to matters that concerned Joseph.
“Ms. Downey, are you alright?”
Seeing that Hayden had returned to her office, Jeff hurriedly discarded what he was holding previously and came forward in concern, “Just now, when you were called by Viola to discuss something, I can see that you are not too happy. Is there something wrong between you guys?”
“Have you finished your task? How can you be a busybody like a woman?” Hayden rolled her eyes at him, “If you are bored being my assistant, I can give this chance to the new intern to replace you”
“Don’t.” Jeff immediately shut up as he replied in a flattering tone, “I am just worried about you, Ms. Downey, since you are so close to Mr. Beckham, and it is no surprise that Viola, who is his fiancée, would be concerned about you.”
Upon hearing that, Hayden turned around and revealed a poker face, which would elicit a shiver down anybody’s spine, “Jeff, it seems that you have a lot on your mind? Since when did I become close to Mr. Beckham? And why would someone have anything to say about that?”
“Th…Then, it should be the young master of the Beckham family pestering you non-stop. I was just giving a casual comment. Everyone knows that you have a daughter, so there’s no way you could have something to do with Mr. Beckham.” Jeff put on a wry smile.
Hayden knitted her brows and with a serious expression, she ordered, “That’s enough, stop your careless comments. This coming two days, the production crew is going to move into our building, please take care of the security jobs in several areas in the building. Remember to stop any fans from infiltrating.”
“Roger, I got it.”
After returning to her office, Hayden closed the door and pursed her lips in disgust as she muttered, “Fiancée? Who said it is official? This guy has too much time and he only knows to believe the rumours without any basis.”
...
In the afternoon, Stella and Noah were in a daze in the rest room.
“Noah, I feel so bored.”
After stalling in the rest room for an entire day and polishing off their meals here, Stella felt extremely bored.
