The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 171

On the same day, Hayden’s name was clearly written on the disciplinary notice about the relevant people in charge. She was suspended from duty without pay for one month and had to cooperate to accept the internal investigation of fire cause.

The personnel department utilized the notice that came out of nowhere in the early morning to reject Hayden’s resignation application with the excuse that ‘one is not allowed to resign during suspension from duty’.

Hayden had no place to vent her anger and she could not even go to the company.

Alayna visited and brought along some breakfast.

Stella sat on the hospital bed while having porridge. Her voice was still a little hoarse.

“Mommy, is Noah coming today?”

Hayden lowered her head to blow the porridge to make it cooler. Hearing this, she slightly frowned, “Noah isn’t feeling well these two days and he’s hospitalized. He isn’t in this hospital but when he gets well, he will come to see you.”

“What about Daddy?”

Under Harrison’s tutelage, Stella had successfully changed her way of calling Joseph in which she directly called him daddy.

Hayden, however, raised her head abruptly and frowned in displeasure, “He isn’t your daddy, don’t call him like that in the future.”

The sudden rebuke had frightened Stella. Her eyes instantly turned red, “Mommy.”

“Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay.” Alayna came to ease the situation and embraced Stella, “It’s your matter to quarrel with Joseph, why do you vent your anger to a child. Don’t cry, Stella.”

Stella was originally not a person who liked to cry before. It was just that she was frightened by the fire before and she kept feeling uneasy since she woke up in the emergency room yesterday. This time, it was just that Hayden’s voice was a little loud but she was scared again.

Seeing her daughter shrinking in Alayna’s arms while sobbing, Hayden was also vexed.

“Stella, I’m sorry. Mommy didn’t mean to do it, Mommy just…”

“Just that your attention is not here.” Alayna helped her to finish the words she could not speak out. Then, she rolled her eyes at Hayden.

“You aren’t happy for being wronged by Joseph. There is another hidden secret in the fire matter. You suspect that you’ve been set up but Joseph isn’t a fool. He was in a fit of rage yesterday and after things are clearly investigated, he will certainly regret it. If you can’t wait, you can go to find it out yourself. If you want to help, say something useful and don’t stand on one's side apparently but actually on another's. Noah is your son but please don’t forget that Stella is your daughter too.”

Hayden’s thoughts had all been seen through by her. Hayden was slightly embarrassed.

“I know that Noah has grown up without you so you’re guilty. Go and do whatever you should do, I’ll accompany Stella.”

Alayna’s tone was a bit impulsive and it seemed that she was a little angry.

Since Hayden knew that Noah was her son who was taken away from her that year, her attention was indeed mostly shifted to Noah. It was not false to say that she had neglected her daughter. After all, if it was not because she wished to let the two children get along well, she would not have let the two children stay together in the hotel and the matter that Stella was trapped in the fire would not happen.

Facing Alayna’s fury, Hayden did not know how to explain. She was indeed guilt-ridden but she had to get to the bottom of the cause of the fire this time.

“I’ll finish the matter as soon as possible and resign from the hotel.”

Before Hayden left, she assured Alayna, “Nothing like this will happen in the future.”

“What about Noah?”

“He’s my son. I’ll find a way to bring him back.”

Alayna’s face slightly eased. She lowered her voice and said, “When it really comes to that, I’ll help you to find a lawyer.”
