Chapter 188: She Hasn’t Divorced till Now


    “Last time she got drunk in a nightclub and had sex with a random man. She got pregnant and didn’t


    even know who the father of the child was. Then she gave birth to the child and ran overseas for six


    years without our family knowing, just to hide the truth. She did not contact the family, nor did she have


    high education and a secure job, but she still managed to live such a privileged life overseas. How did


    she live like that, can you imagine it?”


    Chelsea’s words were extremely vicious.


    Joseph disyed some displeasure in his eyes, “Why am I supposed to believe you?”


    “Of course, you may not believe my words, but you can go to check. She was a student in a famous


    medical school with a bright future, why would she choose to study overseas so rashly? And why did


    she return home if she had a good life abroad? Isn’t it because that she can’t get protection overseas


    so that’s why she came back to seek a new shelter? She is not as noble as you think.”


    Joseph stood up. He straightened his cuffs and said in a cold voice.


    “You need to make sure I am not at her back to help her so that you can get more property from your


    father. With such a purpose, I won’t believe any words you say. I have wasted ten minutes talking with


    you.”


    Looking at Joseph’s back, Chelsea’s face turned pale, but she finally settled down. She sneered and


    ndered in her heart, as she didn’t believe that Joseph would not go to check after hearing her words.


    As long as he went to check her statement, he would find that all she said was not much embellished,


    as it was all true.


    The news that Hayden got pregnant identally was true, and the child she gave birth to was there


    and she was already five years old. The news that she went abroad without leaving a word was also


    true, and it was known by the entire Downey family. But for whether had she got together with a man


    overseas, she had already checked. Although the data had been manipted, she had her n. In this


    technological era, everything could be checked, as long as she had money.


    Edison Godfrey, as long as Joseph found out this man, everything would be different.


    She had gone too far to turn back from getting the property of the Downey family and she was


    determined to get it.

    Brook woke up only after a week of unconsciousness.


    The hospital had transferred him to a general ward.


    As Hayden had resigned, so she had a lot of free time toe to the hospital to apany her father


    every day. She also brought Ste there during the weekend when she had no swimming lessons.


    “Come over, grandpa wants to take a look.”


    Brook patted his side and waved at Ste benignly.


    Hayden was peeling an apple and handed a piece to Ste, “Go ahead, give grandpa a piece.”


    Ste nodded obediently and gave the apple slice to Brook, saying sweetly, “Grandpa, eat the apple,


    please. It’s sweet.”


    Brook smiled, “The apple given by Ste is definitely sweet.”


    “Mummy said the same thing.”


    Ste blinked, “My fingers have magic.”


    Hayden smiled helplessly, “Well, eat your apple, don’t be so arrogant, and talk non-stop, grandpa


    wants to rest.”


    “It is okay.”


    Brook shook his head, “It’s rare to be able to talk with my granddaughter, so it’s worth it for me to make


    this surgery.”


    “Dad.” Hayden frowned.


    “Well, let’s don’t talk about this first. You have not had a good rest for a few days, right? I am fine now,


    so you don’t live in the hospital and please go back home to rest. You have to work during the day.”


    “I have resigned and I don’t know where I shall work yet. It’s okay.”


    Brook was stunned by Hayden’s direct reply.


    “Why did you resign?”


    He quickly thought of a reason, “Did you quarrel with Mr. Beckham in ST Group?”


    “Nothing to do with him?”


    Hayden took a deep breath, “Never mind, you shouldn’t care about this matter. Your physical health is


    more important. I will take care of myself.”


    “It’smon for young couples to quarrel. Hayden, don’t take it too seriously.”


    Unexpectedly, Brook asked her to tolerate him, not knowing what he was worried about.


    “Knock, knock”


    The knocking sound interrupted Brook’s unfinished sentence.


    “Who is it?”


    Hayden stood up and saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing at the door of the ward.


    “Mr. Clement.”


    She greeted him.


    Ferdinand Clement was Brook’s legal advisor and hade to the hospital several times in the past


    two days, seemingly to talk about the issue of thepany’s share ownership. They did not avoid her


    but Hayden herself avoided them every time.


    “Then you guys chat. I will go first.”


    Hayden waved to Ste and said, “Come here, Ste. Grandpa has some work to do, leave with


    mummy first.”


    “Grandpa, I will leave then. Bye.”


    Ste politely bid farewell to Brook and waved to Ferdinand before leaving the ward with Hayden.


    The ward became quiet instantly.


    Ferdinand smiled and said,


    “Chairman, the second youngdy’s daughter is very well-behaved and looks very much like her


    mother.”


    “Yes, exactly the same as Hayden when she was a child.”


    Brook seemed a bit emotional, and lowered his head for a few seconds of silence, “Let’s talk about the


    important thing first. Time waits for no one.”


    “Yes.”


    Ferdinand spread the documents he brought on the table, “ording to your request, the five hundred


    million Yuan are all invested. The inheritance has also been revised ording to your request. To


    confirm with you, all the real estate under your name will be transferred to the name of Sofia Mason.”


    “Yes.”


    Brook nodded his head. This easy action somehow looked very strenuous for him.


    Brook was only fifty years old, but he already looked like a dying old man. His eyes were cloudy and


    dark as if he lost all the desire to live.


    "That’s it. When I passed away, read out this inheritance in front of them.”


    “Don’t worry. I will do this well, and you don’t have to be discouraged. Didn’t the doctor say that your


    condition can be controlled? You have to cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and have a better


    attitude.”


    “I will.” Brook nodded. “I also want to spend more time with my granddaughter and daughter.”


    After spending most of his life, when he was dying, the one who apanied him was the daughter


    who did not have a close rtionship with him since she was small. The other two people were


    probably still plotting how to get thepany into their own hands.


    Then, just fulfill their wish.


    Late at night, the neon lights gradually lit up the entire Nanking, burying this prosperous provincial


    capital city in a scene of debauchery.


    On the rooftop of the four-story vi, the whistling evening wind raised the hem of the man’s silk


    pyjamas. The red wine in his hand swayed in the ss. The scarlet liquid was like an abyssal maw,


    showing visible loneliness.


    The storm wasing.


    “Mr. Beckham, we found it.”


    On the phone, Magnus’ voice was very calm.


    “Ms. Downey’s information really was changed before. She did get married overseas, when she was in


    her second year abroad, she married a Chinese named Edison Godfrey, and… “


    “And what? Continue.” Joseph could feel the hesitation on the phone and coldly urged.


    “And this marriage is still valid. She did not divorce. I have sent you the specific status through email.


    Look… at it yourself.”
