Chapter 177: We’re Acquaintances
“Keep an eye on this guy and keep investigating to see who’s the mastermind behind him, or see who
does he help to do things and who does he take orders from as well as what has he done.”
“Alright.”
Magnus nodded, “By the way, Mr. Beckham, Ms. Downey’s flight is on today. She should be arriving at
the airport in the evening, are you going to pick up her?”
Joseph frowned.
“No need, I’ll go to the hospital tonight to see Addison.”
Magnus froze for a moment and sighed silently in his mind. He suddenly felt slightly sympathetic for
Hayden.
She had be a scapegoat for nothing due to the fire and now, the investigation was almost done. It
was certain that she had nothing to do with her and it was also certain that she did not know that there
was someone else at the scene. But, Joseph’s heart seemed to be not on her anymore.
“Mr. Beckham, there is a lot of gossips about Ms. Downey in the hotel recently, should we control it?”
Most people felt that Hayden and Joseph had already broken up. There was a variety of gossips and of
course, being an employee, they did not dare to say what was right or wrong about the boss. So,
Hayden became their target.
When Magnus went to ST Hotel to do something that day, he personally heard Hayden’s subordinate
employees discussing.
“Time will reveal all things. I really haven’t seen a stepmother sincerely treat a child nicely. At the most
critical moment, her own child is still the most important. It’s good that Mr. Beckham has found out this
early, I think Hayden has worked hard but to no avail.”
“Yeah, it’s all done for Mr. Beckham to see.”

“…”
It was clear that she had not resigned yet and was only temporarily suspended from duty, which was a
dying tactic used by Joseph to keep Hayden from leaving but it had been misinterpreted to this
extent. Magnus worried that if these words were heard by Hayden, it would lead to an irreparable
contradiction again.
A clear and cold voice reached Magnus’s ears.
“Let them talk, don’t need to bother.”
His tone was indifferent. Hearing these words, Magnus sighed silently in his mind.
…
It was already night when the nended. Hayden pulled her suitcase and left the luggage carousel.
Many people were picking up outside the airport. After looking around, she saw yna’s car.
“Where is Ste?”
As Hayden did not see her daughter, she casually asked.
“She’s at home. She should be sleeping right now.” yna helped to put her suitcase into the car boot
and then winked at her.
“Rather than Ste, I think you should get in the car first and see who hase.”
Puzzled, Hayden opened the car door and saw a face with sunsses smiling at her while revealing
white teeth, “Sis.”
“Freddie?” Hayden was surprised and delighted. She hurriedly got in the car and closed the car door,
“Howe youe here, you’ve finished the variety show?”
“It’s over temporarily. I’ve been in a troubletely.”
Freddie leaned on her shoulder and slightly rubbed, “So I want toe to you to lie low until everything
is over.”
“Hey, let me say in advance.” yna’s voice sounded from the front, “You can lie low until everything is
over but please find another ce. If you attract the reporters toe, do you think that we can still go
back home?”
“It isn’t because of the reporters this time.”
Freddie wrinkled his brow and seemingly found it difficult to say, “Anyway, it’s a little trouble and it isn’t
reliable for me to find others so only Hayden can help me.”
“What is it?” Hayden looked at him worriedly.
“It’s the same shit that always urs in the entertainment industry.” Freddie was a bit annoyed and he
even showed a look of disgust, “Half a month ago, my agent took me to a dinner with the investor of the
new drama. The investor kept touching me here and there, I felt really disgusting.”
“It’s a good thing!” yna unkindlyughed, “Isn’t the rich woman is going to make you her kept man?
Why don’t you secretly ept and enjoy it, you can shorten the years to strive.”
“Will I have such a big reaction if the person is a rich woman?” Freddie’s face turned blue, “It’s a man.”
Instantaneously, the space in the car became silent.
After a few seconds, they burst intoughter.
Freddie looked at yna and Hayden who could not stopughing and said angrily, “How can you guys
stillugh? If a woman says she has a crush on you guys now, don’t you guys feel disgusting?”
“I’ve been telling Hayden that you have a tendency to be gay but she doesn’t believe. See, what
I’ve said is correct.”
“Hey, I’m not, I’m straight, I…”
“If a person has homophobia, he must be secretly hiding that he is actually a fag.”
“I believe it this time.” Hayden agreed also.
Freddie was so angry that his face turned blue and red, “I’m looking for you guys to help me but you
guys still make sarcasticments. I want to get out of the car.”
“Fine, fine.” Hayden pulled him and finally stoppedughing, “We’re just kidding with you, don’t take it
seriously. Tell us how do you want us to help you?”
“There is a party two dayster and the pervert has invited me. One of you go together with me and
say that you’re my girlfriend. It’ll be enough to let him know that my sexual orientation is normal.”
“It’s just that simple?”
“Yeah.”
Looking at Freddie’s simple-minded look, Hayden and yna nced at each other as shown by the
rear-view mirror.
He was indeed still too young. You thought that others would give up after you told him about your
sexual orientation? In the entertainment industry, many straight men were turned into gay.
“I won’t go.” Hayden directly refused, “This matter isn’t that simple. I think you should dy it first.
When you’re really going to get married to a woman, that person won’t pester you anymore.”
“You really don’t want to go?” Freddie raised his eyebrows, “I hear that you’ve had a war with Joseph’s
ex-girlfriend recently? What if I tell you that this pervert is Vivian’s elder brother?”
Hayden was stunned.
The world was really small. Addison stole her man and her elder brother stole her younger brother.
What the hell were all these things?
The party that Freddie strongly invited Hayden and yna to attend was the 100th day banquet of the
son of Addison’s second elder brother. Many people went there, including socialites, celebrities and all
kinds of people.
Hayden walked arm in arm with Freddie into the venue. She was in a low-key ck Hepburn dress,
revealing her fair and thin neck like a piece of wless white jade.
yna came together with them. She looked around.
“Oh, this asion is quite big. Freddie, I think you should agree with the man’s request. I hear that the
eldest young master of the Sanchez family controlled the entire group. If you get married to him, you’ll
be the boss’s wife of the group.”
“Boss’s wife?” Freddie’s face turned blue, “yna, stop it. I’ve repeated many times, I’m straight.”
“Okay, okay. You’re straight. You’re straighter than steel.”
yna was naturally teasing him. Hearing this, Hayden was helpless.
“He hase.”
Her arm suddenly tightened. She raised her head and looked at the ce where Freddie was gazing
and saw a figure in a ck suit walking towards them. She was stunned and was revealing a slightly
shocked look.
The world was really small.
“Mr. Sanchez, this is my girlfriend.” Freddie introduced her this way.
“Is it?”
Clevnd was with some intention of teasing in his eyes. He looked at Hayden and said, “Ms. Downey,
we meet again.”
“How do you know her surname is Downey?” Freddie frowned, stared at Clevnd, and said.
“You guys know each other?”
“Slightly more intimate than just knowing.” Clevnd looked at Freddie.
“After all, Ms. Downey has told me that she already has a fiancé.”
