The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 87

When Noah heard Stella calling for him, his eyes immediately lit up. He left Joseph all by himself and darted in her directions while smiling fervently.

Stella was really talkative as she started to describe what had transpired in the past two days, including what had happened on the plane, at the beach and the thunderstorm they encountered when they were at the sea. It felt like there would be no end to her incessant blabbers.

Joseph pulled out the chair next to Hayden nonchalantly while asking purposely, “Do you mind me sitting here?”

Hayden forced herself to curl up her lips and tell him that she didn’t mind, but deep down all she could wish for was for him to disappear out of her sight.

Joseph didn’t read between the lines as he nodded in her direction to signify friendliness but his demeanour only prompted Hayden to boil over deep in her heart.

As he watched the two of them giving off hints with their eyes as if showing their love, Freddie could only feel his heart freeze.

He secretly thought about how Hayden had always seen him as her little brother during all those years and despite him covering up his intentions to marry her by making a joke out of it, she really took it at face value and just thought of this as their inside joke. Although he was always close to her, but an outsider could defeat him that easily, such as Joseph who seemed to be harbouring all sorts of intentions. His appearance worsened Freddie’s chances even further.

The thought of this cunning fox enticing him into signing a contract with an agency which Joseph had his stakes made him grit his teeth with vehement hatred.

Freddie couldn’t help throwing a sarcastic remark, “You are the high and mighty president of the ST Group, and I bet you are not here because you want to expand your business?”

Joseph swept his gaze over him, “Your suggestion is not half-bad. If I have the time, I would come here for business reasons too, but actually I’m here this time to bring my son on a mini-vacation.”

“You could have brought your son to anywhere but why do you have to follow us all the way here? Isn’t this too big of a coincidence?”

“It’s no coincidence.”

Joseph’s expression was very composed as he said without reservation, “Noah and I thought that this would be a great place for our getaway.”

Freddie immediately clenched his fists and retaliated with another question, “What’s so great about this place?”

“There are many people, and the whole place is bustling with activity.”

“You…”

“Let’s eat.” Hayden suddenly interjected with an unnatural expression, “The dishes are getting cold.”

Joseph’s brows slightly raised as he took a sip from his tea.

Only Freddie had a hideous expression on his face as he persisted with his argument, “Aren’t you going to get married soon? Why are you not here with your fiancée?”

His attack this time successfully captured Hayden’s attention, and with the muscles on her face tensing up, she focused her hearing on what he was about to say.

Joseph put down his cup and with a casual look, he began, “I don’t recall ever announcing my marriage to the outside word. Where did you hear that rumour about my fiancée?”

Upon hearing that, Hayden’s expression froze. She subconsciously looked upwards in Joseph’s direction and verified that he was being serious without any hint of him joking. This fact caused her heart to race.

Did he just say that he didn’t have any intention to marry Viola?

“It is apparent that everyone in the industry has believed in this fact. Are you going to deny it now?” Freddie pursued with another question, which was what Hayden wanted to know too.

“Then, are you saying that you are going to admit the rumour between you and that little-known star?” Joseph replied slowly while cutting his steak, “You don’t need the agency to clear up your name for you anymore, do you?”

“You…”

Freddie was rendered speechless by Joseph’s retort, and his face was flushed while he was fuming, “Stop using the agency to pressure me. If it were not for you employing some dirty tricks to lure me into signing that contract, I won’t engage your agency on my own.

At this point, Hayden felt like she could no longer remain silent.

“Freddie, Ray-Trace Media is a huge company, and I have gone through your contract. As long as you don’t go against the terms, there won’t be any problem for you. Mr. Beckham is doing that for your own good, so why do you have to say that?”
