The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 206

Dante still had some things to deal with in Sea View Town, and he promised Hayden Downey to go Nanking within a week. Hayden and Joseph Beckham then left.

“You said before that five years ago in the ST Group, there was still someone else in the driving seat of the company? Is it true?”

Hayden asked in the car.

Joseph had his hands on the steering wheel, looking at the front concentrated. He wasn’t distracted hearing her words and answered casually, “Franklin is just a year younger than me. Back then, he started working in the group after only finishing his undergraduate degree here in the country. Before I returned to the country, he was already the group’s vice president on the premise of giving up his opportunity to study for a master’s degree at Yale. That time, Harrison thought highly of him.”

Speaking of Franklin Hawkins, Hayden had a deep impression on him. She met him in the mansion that day. He was in his thirties and seemed similar to Joseph. He was being feminine and always smiling when looking at others. He appeared to be kind, but it was hard to understand him.

“But your return has threatened Franklin.”

Hayden looked squarely at Joseph.

“Yes.” Joseph nodded in a poker face, “Initially, I came back only as a shareholder of the company to participate in the Board Resolution. Later, I had some questions about the company’s finances, and Harrison arranged me to participate in management of the company after having someone to check it out. At that time, my power wasn’t as great as Franklin’s.”

Whether Joseph was involved in the management or not, he was the most significant threat as long as he returned. After all, the entire group belonged to Harrison Beckham, and he had the most major shareholding, having absolute control over the company. Joseph was Harrison’s only grandson, and the group would be handed over to him sooner or later if there wasn’t any unforeseen event.

“Had he done something?” Hayden continued.

Joseph sneered, “You’re right. He had done something. If it weren’t for this, he could still be a good manager in the company. After all, he’s one of the Beckham family and the market share of the group under his management for that period was quite good. Just that he was being too suspicious.”

After Joseph entered the company, Franklin did a lot of things to let Harrison distrust Joseph. He even spread the rumours about Joseph’s sexual orientation back then.

Just because of this ridiculous rumour, Harrison then forced Joseph to get married under the group’s right of inheritance.

Hayden heaved a sigh of relief, hearing it.

“Then, could the matter of Noah not being able to speak related to him?”

The fact was, Franklin was fear of Joseph so much, and Franklin’s position would be shifted backward again if there was another heir in line. Therefore, Noah Beckham’s existence was unfavourable to him.

Joseph frowned as Hayden asked this suddenly, “Are you really investigating Noah’s matter?”

“Do you think I’m just joking?” Hayden was unhappy, knitting her brows.

“I didn’t mean that. I won’t stop you if you want to investigate it. If you need any help, let me know. You don’t have to solve it alone.”

“I know.” Hayden then calmed down, “According to this, your cousin seemed to have the motive to commit such a crime. Then I’ll investigate it from this point. Just that, you have to be careful of him too. That day I saw him in the mansion, the incident back then seemed to still rankled in his mind.”

Hayden observed Joseph’s facial expression, not wanting to miss any changes on him when saying this.

Joseph frowned as if something bore in mind. He seemed to reproach himself, but he let go of it very soon.

“Don’t worry about it. Might makes right.”

There were many interpretations of this phrase. Obviously, if you won, every nasty means of yours to obtain such a victory were nothing at all.

Hayden felt a chill suddenly and couldn’t help but think of the possibility that Benjamin told her previously. It was related to Noah having a high fever back then.

“He is a deep one, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have tussled with you for so many years.” Hayden asked tentatively.

“Yes. But he shouldn’t have such devious ideas.”
