The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 77

“Everything has been done. He signs the five-year contract with Ray-Trace Media directly. If he breaches the contract, he will need to use all his wealth to pay for the damages for breach of contract,” Magnus wanted to laugh when he spoke of this.

Freddie was indeed too naïve as he was immediately gotten tricked when Joseph pretended to aim at one target while actually shooting at another. Indeed, Freddie was still too young and inexperienced as he did not know his boss’s temper.

“I let him breach the contract for what?” Joseph thoughtfully retorted, “Isn’t it better to keep him safe so that he can make money for me.”

Hearing this, Magnus froze for a moment. After regaining his presence of mind, he sympathized with Freddie even more.

Boss was simply planning to infuriate others without killing him!

Try to imagine that you hated a person very much but you had to become the person’s subordinate and also had to earn money for him. If you did not earn money for that person, you could not get a salary but if you earned it for him, most of the money earned would be taken away by that person. How painful this kind of matter was?

…

In the villa of the Downey family.

Hayden deliberately came back at noon on Monday to get the keys.

Hayden had to go to the company to work. Although Hayden’s stepmother, Sofia, was not a kind person, she would still be polite on the surface so she would not make things difficult for her. Hayden thought inwardly that if she immediately left after taking the keys, everything should be fine.

“.”

When the old maid of the Downey family, Camille saw Hayden, she almost burst into tears, “Ms. Downey, why have you come back? Where have you been all these years?”

Camille was the maid who had been following Hayden’s mother in her early years. After Hayden’s mother passed away, she had been with Hayden to take care of her. She also followed Hayden to come to the Downey family not long after.

Hayden’s eyes also turned watery. She held Camille’s hand and said while choking up, “I’ve been back for a while. I’ve made you worry for not coming back here.”

“It’s okay. I don’t know how much you’ve suffered outside. If your mother knows this, she will blame me for not taking good care of you.”

“I’m fine, Camille.”

“Hayden?”

While they were talking, a woman’s voice interrupted.

Sofia stood on the stairs in a blue-grey cheongsam. Her well-kept face made her looked like a thirty-year-old person and her charm was still intact. When she saw Hayden at this moment, her face was full of astonishment but her expression quickly returned to normal. While going downstairs, she said friendly.

“Hayden, how come you’ve come back? Why don’t you inform me in advance, I’ll then ask the maids in the kitchen to cook your favourite meal.”

Hayden let go of Camille’s hand, “I come back to take something only, I’ll leave after taking it, don’t need to do so much thing, aunt.”

She had been calling Sofia as aunt for many years and she never changed the way she called Sofia.

In the past, she secretly heard Sofia complaining to Bentley with a look of feeling aggrieved, saying that she had treated Hayden sincerely as her daughter but Hayden did not appreciate it at all as Hayden refused to even change the way of calling her.

But, Bentley replied to her with the words, ‘you are not her mother at first either, it’s already quite polite for her to call you aunt’.

In front of Bentley at that time, Sofia did not dare to say anything but after Bentley left, she smashed a lot of things. She scolded the maids in the bedroom and said that ‘she’s not my daughter at first too, how come he never tells me that I don’t need to treat her nicely?’

Hayden was able to see through such a two-faced woman at a very young age. She completely could not understand why her father did not realize this despite staying with her for so many years, was he actually blind?

After exchanging pleasantries, Sofia did not stop Hayden from going upstairs.

Her room was still the same as before and nothing had been moved. She tried to recall her memories and opened the drawer on the right side of the desk. Hayden frowned. The key was not there.

After she received this gift that year, she certainly put the keys right here. Someone had moved it.

“Have you found it?”
