Chapter 48: Everything’s Possible?


    “Okay,” Joseph answered softly and looked outside the window. A look of sess shed across his


    eyes. He thought through it for the entire night and felt that he had figured it out. He just needed some


    time to confirm it. Initially, he thought that it would be rather smooth but after Hayden obviously avoided


    him yesterday, he felt that he needed to look for a good excuse and Noah was that excuse.


    From that day onwards, Joseph would bring his son regrly to Hayden’s ce. Even on the


    weekends Hayden and Ste would go to their vi. At times they would go for pics in the garden or


    y at amusement parks. As time went by, they became veryfortable with each other.


    Hayden felt that it was her culinary skills that attracted the father and son. During their time together,


    Joseph would seek her opinion on his ns for the centennial celebrations so that he would not be


    embarrassed during meetings.


    …


    “Sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Kidman.” Inside the private room at the Green Bay café, a young man


    ced down his briefcase and sat opposite Vi.


    Vi waited impatiently and showed her displeasure when the man came.


    “You’re the private investigator rmended by Jason, L Kelly?”


    The man nodded and was calm when he saw the doubt in Vi’s eyes, “I am.”


    Vi was frustrated and took her handbag and was about to leave and scoffed, “Jason must be mad.


    Where did he find you? Are you even an adult? Someone may mistake you for a high school student!


    My matters cannot be handled by a kid!”


    The man looked barely twenty and had a baby face. Although he couldn’t be a minor, he was definitely


    not more than twenty five years old. No one would believe that he was the most famous private


    investigator in the entire Nanking.


    L sat and calmly said, “Once Ms. Kidman leaves, I will erase whatever I’ve investigated. So you


    don’t have to worry about me leaking anything. This is my professional ethics.”

    When Vi heard this, she stopped, frowned, and asked, “What have you found out?”


    “Weren’t you disinterested?”


    Vi hesitated before returning to her seat and said, “Go ahead. What have you found out? If you


    really found out something useful, then I’ll believe that you can work for me.”


    L took out a document nonchntly, ced his fingertips on the document, and slid it slowly


    towards her.


    “Regarding what Ms. Kidman wanted to check on thisdy called Hayden and her child. I’ve found out


    that six years ago, Hayden wasst seen a night after her eighteenth birthday. That was thest time


    she was seen by her friends before she left the country.


    “Six years ago…” Vi looked at the date on the datasheet. Her frown became tighter, “Why was it that


    night?”


    “Although Ms. Kidman didn’t say what you wanted me to investigate, I felt that you must be very


    curious about why Hayden didn’t go to the room arranged by her sister Chelsea after she was drugged.


    Instead, she was taken away and during the same day, Joseph Beckham was also in the same hotel.”


    “What do you mean?”


    “I felt that there are sufficient reasons to suspect that the surrogate mother that Joseph looked for was


    Hayden.”


    Vi’s face turned pale as her hands trembled holding onto the datasheet. How could it be so


    coincidental?


    When she was trying to figure out how Noah came about, she spent a lot of effort finding out that he


    was born by a surrogate. So if it was a surrogate, Joseph must not continue to be in contact with that


    woman. That was why she was relieved over these years but now unexpectedly this surrogate could be


    Hayden.


    How could the second daughter of the Downey family be a surrogate?


    “Impossible.” Vi immediately refuted this possibility, “She was the second daughter of the Downey


    family and didn’tck anything. How could she do such a thing?”


    “Ms. Kidman, you were the one who said that Hayden was drugged by her elder sister. Anything is


    possible. I’m just telling you my train of thought. If you don’t agree with this, I can stop right here and


    not pursue this any further.”


    L looked towards Vi with disdain.


    Vi’s expression darkened, clenched her fists, and demanded, “Investigate! Who said not to? I need


    to get to the bottom of this.”


    “Okay, then the next thing I’ll do is to look for the ex-steward of the Beckman family and inquire about


    the issue concerning the surrogate. He should be the one who was responsible for arranging it. I’ll


    contact you when there is anything significant.”


    L looked at the datasheet in Vi’s hands and said, “You can keep this datasheet. Contact me if


    you have any questions. Oh, Ms. Kidman, it’s not good to judge a person by his looks. What makes a


    good private investigator is his analytical abilities but not his age.”


    L stood up and left after saying. His baby face expressed full of self-confidence and arrogance.


    L had taken up this case because the person of interest was Joseph. Female celebrities were


    truly dual-faced. This Vi was truly annoying.


    Once out of the café, L raised his open hand over his eyes and looked at the clear sky. The


    weather was great and suitable for a meet-up.


    …


    “Shall we buy some groceries and have hotpot tonight?” Hayden asked Joseph after they picked up


    their children.


    “Sure.”


    Hayden nodded and before they reached the traffic junction, she called out to Mark, “Go to that


    Carrefour.”


    Both of them held on to the kids and browsed the supermarket. Although they were supposed to just


    buy some fresh produce, Ste led Noah to look for some snacks.


    “Hey, where did they go?”


    “I’ll have a look.” Joseph went to look for the kids.


    Hayden pushed the cart and picked out the vegetables that they needed.


    Joseph pushed a small shopping cart as he followed behind the kids.


    Ste picked a box of choctes and looked at Joseph with those big cute eyes and said, “Normally


    mommy won’t let me eat too many choctes. This is what Noah and I like to eat.”


    Joseph took all the vors from the shelf and said, “Then we’ll buy some.”


    This was what wealthy people do! Ste’s eyes sparkled and hopped happily, “Joseph is the best!”


    Noah smiled at her and pointed to the snacks ahead.


    By the time the kids picked their snacks and met up with Hayden at the cashier, the small cart was


    piled high.


    Hayden looked with her eyes wide open, “Good lord. What did you guys buy? How long will it take to


    finish them? Ste, you…”


    “Not me.” Ste waved her hand.


    “Who can it be if it’s not you?” Hayden frowned and continued, “Noah’s not like you. He doesn’t


    frequently eat snacks.”


    She reached to twist Ste’s ears and Ste quickly hugged Joseph’s thighs and hid behind him and


    shouted, “Help me, Joseph.”


    Joseph protected Ste and said calmly to stop Hayden’s actions, “I wanted to buy them.”
