The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 186

Kevin’s sentence stirred up Joseph’s mind.

“Only Hayden, she broke all your bottom line, changed your principles, and even made you fall into self-doubt. She is the first grey area you encountered in your life.”

Kevin gradually calmed down and sat back on his chair. He stared at Joseph’s with cold eyes, “Just admit that you can’t live without her anymore. Don’t make a pointless struggle.”

Joseph frowned as he did not feel so comfortable as Kevin analyzed his character traits. So, he glared at Kevin and coldly said, “When you have spent enough time in my company, get lost.”

He then left the conference room without looking back.

Kevin stroked his chin and laughed sarcastically. He thought that Joseph who did not want to face the music would suffer more.

Kevin had not encountered many predicaments in his thirty-year life. Even the broken family did not affect him much, although he was less unfortunate compared to the peers, especially the passing of his father made him lose his childhood innocence.

At the funeral, it seemed that his mother, who had been running away with her drawing board on her back for many years, had finally turned over a new lead and decided not to pursue her so-called dreams and freedom, saying that she wanted to take care of Kevin.

He, however, was calmer than anyone else, telling her in front of all the members of the Beckham’s family, “Go directly to the Financial Department to take as much money as you want, and don’t ever appear in front of me again after taking the money.”

Such a person who did not even recognize his mother had changed Hayden’s impression of him.

As an observer, Kevin could understand the situation clearer than him.

“Hello? Alayna.”

A gentle voice echoed in the conference room, “When are you free for the camping trip I told you last time. I have everything ready now, and the weather lately has been good.”

A female voice came from the other end of the line. It was calm but a little bit uneasy.

“Just wait a bit longer, I am afraid that Hayden has no mood to do that thing recently.”

“What’s wrong?” Kevin sat up straight and asked her after knowing that something was wrong.

“Something has happened to the Downey family.”

Hayden’s father, Brook Downey, had suddenly fallen seriously ill this morning and was in the operating room for resuscitation. He had not yet come out.

Hayden and Alayna were shopping at the mall and were about to find a place to have lunch when they received a call from the sanatorium. Luckily Hayden had gone to the sanatorium before and had left her contact number with the attending doctor, telling him to call her if anything went wrong.

On the way to the hospital, Hayden’s hands were shaking.

The only thing she knew was that her father had been the only one she relied on for so many years, but because she had known for a long time that her mother’s death was caused by him, she had been estranged from him.

Brook loved her and doted on her more than on Chelsea.

Her bedroom was the largest room in the entire Downey family apart from the master bedroom. Her annual birthday gifts were all goodies that could not be bought in China at the time, and even when she was tricked by Chelsea into going to an underground boxing arena, Brook never scolded her. When she asked to adopt Freddie, he agreed without hesitation and was happy to say that it was the first time she had taken the initiative to ask him.

All of this was the reason that Chelsea and her mother jealous of her. However, she understood it all, if she were Chelsea, she would also be jealous of having such a sister in the family, who was doted on unconditionally by her father.

“Hayden, don’t worry. Didn’t the doctor say, it’s just temporary shock, he is still being resuscitated. Your father will be fine.”

Alayna sat with Hayden at the entrance of the operating room, in fact, she didn’t know how to comfort her.

From the moment she arrived at the hospital, Hayden did not say a single word. Her eyes kept staring at the door of the operating room. Her face was all pale.
