President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

Chapter 99: Why Does This Place Sound So Familiar?

“Does Grandpa now even know the trivial matters of the company like the back of your hand?”

Joseph looked indifferent.

“What? I can’t know the company matter after the company is given to you?” Harrison’s face darkened, “Hayden is doing well in the hotel but you arrange for her to go so far away to do such a difficult job. You yourself also have a child. Why can’t you put yourself in her shoes?”

Noah nodded repeatedly beside Harrison.

Joseph glanced at him and still looked calm.

“The matter of sending Hayden to examine the market situation is not just my own decision. Everyone agrees with it during the meeting. What I’m curious about is, when does Grandpa have such a good relationship with her?”

After thinking carefully, Hayden was indeed not simple. She first made Noah obeyed her and became unable to live without her. Then, she secretly made Grandpa started to stick up for her and asked about her matter now and then. She even pretended to be innocent, saying that she had no purpose to approach him.

Hayden showed an expression as if it was a matter of course, “Hayden is a good woman. Noah likes her and I also think that if you want to get married, she will be the most suitable person. She’s my future grandson-in-law, what’s wrong with the matter that I get close with her in advance?”

“I never agree with it.”

Joseph’s indifferent words were uttered coldly. His words spoilt the originally quiet and warm atmosphere of the family dinner.

“There are many other women who can become Noah’s mother, not necessarily must be Hayden. To be precise, I haven’t considered Hayden and I also think that a single mother with a child is not qualified to enter the Beckham family.”

After these words were uttered, Noah was so angry that his face had turned to the colour of molten lava.

Harrison was very displeased too.

“What are you talking about? Hayden indeed has a child but I’ve seen that woman before. She is very obedient. You think Hayden is not good enough but will the starlet who always has titbits be good enough? Let me tell you, if you want to marry Viola, there’s no way.”

Joseph put down the chopsticks and wiped his mouth slowly and methodically. He said coldly, “I’m full, I think Noah won’t want to go home with me tonight, so just stay here.”

“You…”

Harrison watched Joseph’s figure disappeared and did not utter other words.

Noah pulled Harrison’s sleeve and Harrison could only helplessly carry and put the little kid on his lap. He sighed helplessly.

“Noah, it isn’t that great Grandpa doesn’t want to help, it’s that your father is too stubborn and he has been like this since he was young. If he has decided on a certain matter, the more others force him, the more he wants to do it the other way round.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Noah twitched his lips and his face was full of grievance. He was seemingly on the verge of tears.

“Hey, don’t cry. Isn’t great Grandpa thinking of a solution?”

Hayden coaxed Noah while shouting in the direction outside the house, “Mark, have you found out the things that I’ve asked you to investigate?”

“Yes.”

The old housekeeper hurriedly entered the dining room, stood straight and said respectfully, “Ms. Downey is sent to Lanxi Town, and the place she stays is called Maple Sugar Inn.”

“Lanxi Town?” Harrison frowned, “Why does this place…sound so familiar?”

Mark hesitated for a moment and reminded, “It’s Madam…”

Harrison froze and frowned even more.

“It shouldn’t be that coincidental to meet her,” Mark spoke very carefully as if this place could not be mentioned.

“Does Joseph know about that place?”

“Based on the situation now, it seems like the young master doesn’t know. Otherwise, he won’t let the Youth Travel Project this time involve that place.”

Harrison nodded slightly with a complicated expression.

…

At night, Hayden was lying on the bed in the inn room, staring at the pattern of the ceiling.

When she asked the boss lady of the inn today, the boss lady’s reaction was really strange.

Especially when the boss lady took the initiative to mention Joseph, she had a look of concern and guilt. She was totally unlike an outsider who tried to know the gossip, but like an acquaintance who had

known him for long and tried to inquire about his matter.

And she kept feeling that the boss lady looked quite familiar but she could not remember where did she see her.

After having a bee in her bonnet, sleepiness engulfed her.

After that day, Hayden had ‘visited’ all the lodging and inn in Lanxi Town. After looking at so many of them, she still felt that Maple Sugar Inn was the most unforgettable and it would let someone have the intention to stay again.

Before leaving, the boss lady still did now show signs that she agreed. Hayden did not intend to persuade anymore. She packed up and checked out of the room, preparing to go to Huaihe Town that was 300 kilometres away to take a look.

After the car was driven out of the Lanxi Town for a while, on the remote village road, Hayden was holding the steering wheel to adjust the navigation system. Out of the blue, a black figure stumbled at the front. Hayden’s face blanched and she immediately slammed on the brakes.

Then, the brakes sound sounded on the road sharply. She broke out in a cold sweat and when she got out of the car, her hands were shaking.

A figure was lying on the ground in front of the car and was already unconscious.

Hayden barely calmed herself and squatted beside to take a look. She could barely know that it was a ragged man. He looked like a homeless as his entire body was dirty. At the moment, his head was bleeding.

She called an ambulance on the spur of the moment.

“Hello? Ambulance?”

“…”

“About three kilometres from Lanxi Town on the state road, there is a car accident, come quickly.”

“…”

In the CEO’s office of the ST Group…

“Mr. Beckham, the documents of the expedition in Lanxi Town are all here. Ms. Downey has done the categorization and she has asked me to send it over.” Hayden’s assistant, Jeff, held a pile of documents, stood in front of Joseph’s desk with an apprehensive look and was unable to speak properly.

Joseph glanced at him indifferently, “Where is Hayden? How come she herself doesn’t send it over?”

“Ms. Downey has encountered something. She has had a car accident on her way back so she has asked me to send the documents here first.”

Hearing this, Joseph’s face suddenly changed and he stood up.

“Car accident? Has she injured?”

Seeing Joseph’s such behaviour, Jeff was startled. He stumbled and said.

“Ms...Ms. Downey is fine. Ms. Downey has hit someone and that person is still receiving treatment in the hospital of the town. So, Ms. Downey calls me to go over to take the documents first.”

Joseph heaved a sigh of relief but his face still looked very sullen.

“Which hospital?”

“Huh?” Jeff did not know what did it mean and froze for a moment. Seeing Joseph’s ice-cold face, he immediately shivered and hurriedly uttered the name and address of the hospital.

“Mr. Beckham, are you going to the hospital?” Jeff cautiously asked.

Joseph glanced at him, “Who says I’m going? Don’t you feel that you’ve asked too much?”

Jeff was scared out of his mind and his legs went weak. He was afraid that Joseph would abruptly tell him to pack his things and leave the company.

“Alright, you can leave now.”

Joseph impatiently waved his hand to let Jeff leave, leaving himself alone in the room. He was tingling with anxiety.

She had encountered a car accident. Was it possible that she would totally be fine?

His mind was a bit puzzled.

“Mr. Beckham, there is a document here that needs to be…”

Ten minutes later, Magnus knocked on the door and came in. Joseph was no longer in the office.
