The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 248

It was clear that Benjamin wasn’t just talking nonsense. If he hadn’t found some solid evidence, he wouldn’t have been able to say such words.

“If you’re trying to protect Hayden, I’ll take my words back. But you must tell me what you have found out.”

Benjamin sneered.

“When I was doing this job, this type of information usually cost a hundred thousand Yuan. Are you trying to ask for the information from me for free without even buying a cup of tea for me?

Joseph sized Benjamin up for a moment. After thinking about the pros and cons, the previous hostility disappeared on his face.

“Are you free now? Let’s have a cup of tea.”

People in the business world were always flexible, no matter what time it was.

They went to a quaint teahouse in the city. They could smell the tea aroma. The booths inside were separated by bamboo curtains, with a proper distance between them so the customers in the neighboring seats would not feel disturbed.

In a few words, Benjamin told Joseph the story of what he had investigated.

“That’s all I know. If you think Hayden won’t be harmed at all, go ahead and call the police. You can pull some strings so that I will be sentenced to jail for a few days.”

Looking at Benjamin’s expression, Joseph played with a light and delicate purple sand cup in his hand. He looked like he was thinking something.

“Even if what you say is true, how can I be sure that you don’t have another motive for staying together with Hayden?”

“You can’t be sure of that.” Benjamin looked fearless, “Of course I have a motive for staying together with Hayden. Don’t you forget that Hayden is single now and I have the right to pursue her?”

Joseph’s face turned gloomy.

“You are really not afraid of anything.”

Benjamin looked like he was bored and examined the orchid pattern on the purple sand pot. He said perfunctorily, “I won’t be threatened by you. Rather than wondering what my purpose is to approach Hayden, you might as well think of a way to take back your position as the president of the company earlier, so that you won’t have to be always on tenterhooks.”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Joseph glanced at him, “You’ve investigated so well into my family’s affairs that I have to suspect you. Is there any explanation for this?”

“Is it hard to explain? Is it strange for the Beckham family to have some poor distant relatives?”

“Relatives?” Joseph sized him up skeptically.

“Yes, don’t we look alike?” Benjamin opened his arms and let Joseph looked at him closer, “I think the two of us still look a bit alike. Some people would believe it even if we say we are blood brothers.”

Joseph gave him a cold look, “Is that so? How come I don’t see it?”

Benjamin felt that Joseph didn’t like his joke, so he smiled sarcastically and sniffed, “I was just joking. How am I capable to be a member of such a wealthy family like yours?”

“After all, you still haven’t told me what your purpose to stay with Hayden is.”

“I am a righteous person. Since you’ve asked me sincerely so many times, I won’t hide the truth from you.”

Benjamin leaned back lazily on the fauteuil behind him.

“I have no other hobbies. You should know that I like money if you ask other people in Nanking. Hayden is the only heir to the Downey family now. Although the Downey family is not as rich as before, they are still considered very rich. Moreover, Hayden has a close relationship with you. So, it’s as simple as that.”

“Just tell me, how much do you want?”

Benjamin held out two fingers of his left hand.

“Two million Yuan, not much.” Joseph looked at him coldly.
