The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 270

“So, are you guys back together now?”

It was a video call from overseas. Alayna looked vigorous, and she was ready to hear all the gossips she missed out on.

Joseph officially moved into Hayden’s bedroom after that night. They were closer now than when they were in a relationship. Joseph didn’t need to take care of his company now, so he had more free time to fetch her to work and back from work.

However, Hayden was still worried, and she couldn’t handle it alone. She needed a person to talk to, and the subject she needed to talk about was known by only a few persons. So, that made Alayna the best listener.

“This is actually great. You see, you won’t need to worry so much if you’re with Joseph now. Your daughter is with you, and now your son too. It doesn’t look so bad.”

“It’s not what it seems like,” Hayden was struggling, “I felt like I’ve been lying to him.”

Hayden knew how good Joseph treated her. He was loyal, and he wanted her to be happy. In addition, he loved Stella.

If Hayden didn’t know that Joseph was looking for Noah’s birth mother, she wouldn’t be so proactive the other night. Hayden was only looking for a safe place before the storm hit.

Hayden could pretend that she didn’t know anything if Joseph found out that she was the surrogate mother. Since she was already Joseph’s girlfriend, Joseph might not even mention it in front of Hayden.

Hayden was betting. She bet Joseph cared a lot for her, and he would never allow anything to hurt her.

“You’re overthinking.”

Alayna continued over the video call, “From where I stand, I thought you should be honest with him before he finds out. You can always send Stella to Edison first if you’re worried. After all, Joseph can’t kidnap Stella if she is with Edison, right?”

“Let me think about it.”

Hayden frowned. Even if she was going to be honest with Joseph, it is not the right opportunity now.

“Hey, why are you so free? I heard that you took over the Downey Group to clean up their mess. How’re the old staffs? Are they willing to cooperate?”

Hayden pulled back from her thoughts, “Like hell, they’re willing to cooperate. I called twice board meeting, but only half of them attended. I should probably leave now. I have a meeting with them later, and I made it compulsory.”

After ending the video call, Hayden leaned on the back of her chair. She pinched her nose, and it felt like worries and misfortune in the whole universe decided to land on her life.

The capital problem in Downey Group wasn’t as bad as what the newspaper reported. The company was only experiencing a temporary breakage in funding. Hayden actively involved in refinancing, reorganized the company share, and threw in the safety money Brook Downey left. Now Hayden was a shareholder who held 36% of the company share.

What she has now was still lesser than what Sofia and Chelsea used to have together. Now that Chelsea was dead and her shares went directly to Sofia, but Sofia disappeared, so Hayden was the next person who was eligible to take over the company now.

The people on the board didn’t like Hayden. There were seventeen members, including Sofia, on the board, and half of them were related to Sofia. The most rebel member was Sofia’s third brother’s daughter, Chelsea’s cousin, Belinda Mason.

Hayden wanted to replace all three managers in the Finance Department, and she already expected strong opposition.

Right after Hayden voiced out her opinion about replacing the finance managers, Belinda stood up in anger.

“What are you talking about? What’s wrong with the current Finance Department? Are you planning to replace all the old staffs with your own people? Don’t you forget, you are only a temporary director of the board. Aunt Sofia is the official director.”
