In the mailbox, there was an email from the assistant, Magnus.
There was an electronically scanned copy of marriage certificate, with two signatures and notarized time on it. Another thing was a copy of the current marriage status for US citizens, and followed by some family photos. It also came with an attachment about Edison’s resume.
He graduated from St. York University, started a business by his own. He then became a leading designer and in just three years, he started from a small clothing company and it eventually grew into a listed company. Now, he owned a global top 500 listed company. Hence, his resume was quite good.
Even Joseph had to admit that he was an excellent guy.
And what made Joseph couldn’t accept was that Edison had nothing when Hayden got together with him. On the Valentine’s Day four years ago, they registered their marriage in the US. He couldn’t find any other reason to explain why she married this man who had nothing at that time. The only reason would be because of love.
Plus, they did not divorce until today.
The room was terribly quiet. It was so quiet that it seemed to be possible to hear the water dripping sound in the bathroom, where the faucet was not tightly closed.
After a long time, a loud sound was heard. “Bang!”
The large office computer was smashed on the floor and created a loud sound, followed by a variety of dark coloured folders and heavy books. The red wine glass was smashed on the wall, leaving a bloody red mark. The glass shattered into pieces at the corner of the wall and reflected cold beams of light.
Almost in an instance, the entire study room turned into a ruin.
“Sir…”
The housekeeper, who came because of the sounds, stood at the door and saw the scene. Her face turned white out of frightening, “This is…”
“Get out…”
“Sir, your hand…”
“Get out!”
His furious voice rushed into the eardrums of the housekeeper. All of a sudden, thunder clapped loudly outside the window, and rain started to fall heavily on the window pane. The flash of the lightning shone on Joseph’s face like an abyssal ghost, he looked extremely gloomy. The housekeeper was so frightened that her face turned pale. She stumbled and closed the door hurriedly, and then she left in haste.
In the centre of the ruin, Joseph held a gloomy face. Pieces of crushed glass were still in his flesh. His slender fingers had blood dripping from it and onto the ground, drop by drop. Soon, the blood clotted and turned into black blood stain.
“Hayden’s father is awake, right?”
Kevin held an umbrella and sent Alayna to downstairs, “How about that camping trip we mentioned earlier? Let’s arrange a time for it. We’ve been dragging on for a long time.”
“I’ll ask Hayden tomorrow. There should be no problem. After all, the doctor said that her father’s condition is quite stable now. If he recovers properly, it won’t be a problem for him to live for another few years.”
“Live for another few years?” Kevin looked at her in astonishment, “Are these words used to comfort people? Hayden had been listening to these words from you all this time?”
“What’s wrong with it?” Alayna gave him a disdainful glance, “Haven’t you heard before that the good or bad will get what they deserve in the end? Her father did not take care of his family when he was young. He was out there getting into trouble and caused Hayden lost her mother since birth. And if her grandpa had not died, he wouldn’t have taken her back to live with him.”
"Her father was good to her, wasn't he? You can't make a statement based on the past, it's all about the previous generation."
"Stop it, I dislike hearing this.” Alayna said with an indignation face, “The problems from the previous generation can only be considered the end if it didn’t affect the next generation. Based on the fact that Brook clearly knew that the woman was the one who killed Hayden’s mother but he still married her, he is not worthy for the sympathy.”
Kevin was not surprised.
