The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 55

Hayden’s words were so intriguing.

Joseph was also not someone to be trifled with. He said explicitly, “Hayden doesn’t give a shit to the fortune of the Downey family. If you deliberately make things difficult for her for this reason, I don’t mind talking to Hayden’s father in person. I think Mr. Downey probably is kept in the dark about her domineering daughter bullying and scheming against her pure sister.”

Due to Joseph’s presence, the onlookers quickly changed their attitudes towards the matter and those who knew about the truth yet didn’t dare to spill it out also began to talk in whispers.

“I heard that Mr. Downey’s marriage with his current wife is a second marriage. His first wife had given birth to a daughter back then. I guess this lady is that daughter.”

“That seems to be the case. So Chelsea Downey is the illegitimate one, right?”

“Probably. The daughter of Mr. Downey’s first wife never showed up in front of the public before and therefore few people know her. But we can deduce from this that Mr. Downey has protected this daughter well.”

Chelsea shivered all over as she was so furious when seeing that her image as the legitimate daughter of the Downey family that she had been painstakingly built over the years was going to be ruined. Her boyfriend, who had been standing by her side, suddenly turned around and left. Chelsea stomped her feet and shouted, “Byron White, where are you going?” She then hurriedly chased after him.

Chelsea left the bridegroom Kingsley and the bride Michelle behind.

Kingsley’s parents walked over after hearing about the commotion here. When they saw Hayden, they were stunned for a while. But as they had experienced a lot of big events, they quietly came to their own senses and vigorously apologized to Joseph and Hayden. Kingsley’s mother tugged his sleeve secretly while shooting a glare at him.

“Hurry up to apologize to Mr. Beckham. See how you have messed up the matter.”

Knitting his brows, Kingsley glanced at Joseph and murmured the word ‘sorry’ reluctantly.

Michelle reacted quickly. Seeing that they were in the unfavorable position now, she quickly changed her expressions and intimately held up Hayden’s hand all smiles, “There must be some misunderstandings. Hayden, you and Mr. Beckham are our distinguished guests. Please don’t take it to your hearts. It’s bad if it dampens your spirits. Let’s open the champagne.”

“Yep. Open the champagne and let it sweep away the bad moods.”

The guest who were watching the show had dispersed, but no one knew what they were thinking inwardly. Nevertheless, Hayden knew deep down that her identity as Joseph’s fiancée would be spread out after this farce.

“Sorry for having bothered you. Can we handle this matter later?”

After opening the champagne, Hayden and Joseph walked abreast in the banquet hall. Hayden kept down her voice and asked him about the matters related to how to suppress rumors.

Joseph looked quite composed as if he didn’t take it seriously, “Leave it alone.”

Hayden took it for granted that what Joseph meant was that she didn’t need to be bothered as someone else would handle it. She nodded and shifted to the other topic, asking, “By the way, how come that you were here? Aren’t you supposed to go to the forest?”

“Your friend brought the two children back. I heard that you came here for your ex-boyfriend’s engagement banquet and I was curious.”

“Curious?” Hayden’s expressions froze.

“I’m curious about how you look like when you’re crying.”

“Cry? How could it be possible?” Hayden twitched her mouth, “It’s all about the past. Do you think that I come here to make myself drunk and make a fuss in their engagement banquet?”

“If you can do this, Stella and Noah wouldn’t have threatened me to come here.”

Hayden was a bit stunned and asked in amusement, “So it turns out it is Stella and Noah who asked you to come here?”

“Yep.”

Hayden felt speechless while at the same time a bit disappointed.
