Chapter 221: Why Did You Blush?


    "Hayden, things have been in chaos for the past two days. It would be better if you don’t attend


    Chelsea’s funeral."


    It was Freddie’s voice along with some audio tuning noisesing from the other end of the phone.


    "It''s fine if I''m not aware, but I can''t be absent knowing that there''s a funeral. She’s dead, I should at


    least pay my respect, there is nothing more to argue for.”


    Hayden tidied up her ck shirt and pants in front of the mirror, she made a ponytail and she heard


    Freddie’s sigh through her wireless earpiece.


    "Alright then, be careful. I can''t leave now, but I might be able to make it, a littlete though."


    "Okay."


    Hayden said yes and told him "Be safe on the way" before she hung up.


    The incident of Chelsea fell off a building was said to be an ident at first, but after questioning a few


    directors who were present at the scene, it was revealed that she jumped. It was all chaotic at the


    scene.


    And Sofia Mason was the starter of all this chaos.


    Chelsea had died, her uncle had at least handled the situation quite well, he contacted everyone he


    could, including Hayden.


    Apart from the wreaths, there was only ck and white at the funeral. There were not many guests.


    Hayden thought she mixed up the time at first, but on second thought, who would want to get involved


    with the Downey Group after what happened?


    Chelsea bowed in front of the grave and walked towards Chelsea’s uncle. "Sorry for your loss."


    "Yeah." Chelsea’s uncle nodded, his eyes seemed red, "Despite slightly bad in temperament, Chelsea


    was a good girl."


    Hayden couldn''t disagree more, but she didn’t say anything out of respect to the deceased, she simply


    nodded and ready to walked away.


    "Wait."


    Chelsea’s uncle called, "Chelsea jumped off the building due to extreme stress after what happened to


    thepany, as a daughter, don''t you think you are responsible too?


    Hayden frowned when she heard that, but she remained calm, "I do not hold any share of Downey


    Group, Daddy left me nothing in his will and I have nothing to do with thepany. If you are still


    confused, you may call Lionel…"


    "I''m not talking to awyer, I want to talk to you."


    The middle-aged man looked blue. "Brook messed up everything and left, you are his daughter, you


    can''t just stand by and do nothing."


    Hayden found it funny and she said sarcastically.


    "None of you stood up for me when the will was announced."


    "That''s apletely different story."


    Chelsea Uncle’s face turned gloomy, "You need to clear things up with us today in front of Chelsea, this


    company belongs to the Downey family, who should take charge if you don''t?"


    "Whoever that cares can take charge!"


    Freddie’s voice was heard from a corner, Hayden was still puzzled when she was pulled behind a man


    by someone. She raised her head and saw Clevnd Sanchez who was by Freddie’s side.

    "Bring my sister out of here."


    Freddie ordered Clevnd. He then took off his sunsses and swept a nce at everyone fiercely.


    Hayden was pulled away by Clevnd while Freddie was speaking.


    "Birds of a feather flock together indeed. I knew there was a motive behind that invitation card. Why?


    Are you trying to bully my sister who has no one by her side? You want her to clean up this mess? You


    disregarded her when you split the fortune but now suddenly realized Brook Downey has another


    daughter after he messed up? There''s no free lunch in this world.


    "We can''t leave Freddie alone amongst those wolves…" Hayden was worried.


    "It''s fine." Clevnd walked without turning back, he put Hayden inside a car and exined," There are


    people with him."


    Hayden looked towards a crowd of people following Clevnd’s sight.


    "Who are you to speak"?


    Chelsea uncle''s ferocious look was showing, he spoke meanly," You are Freddie right? You are nothing


    but a stray dog picked up by the Downey family, what right do you have to get involved?"


    Hayden became angry hearing his words, but she saw Clevnd in his handsome suit leaned against


    the car door calmly.


    “The one that spoke has a potty mouth.”


    Soon as he finished, a scream was heard from the crowd. Despite with distance, the sound of ribs


    broken could be heard apanied by a scream in agony.


    “No worries, everything is on me, go on.”


    The scream from the crowd became more frequent and louder.


    Hayden looked at Clevnd with surprise before she saw a ck wireless earpiece on his right ear.


    It seemed like the crowd of people were under hismand to protect Freddie, no wonder he could be


    so calm.


    Hayden felt relieved, sad and ridiculous at the same time seeing the fight.


    Sofia and her daughter had been scheming for a lifetime, designating powerful positions in Downey


    Group to all her worthless siblings. With Chelsea’s death and Sofia nowhere to be found, all that her


    beloved rtives could think of was how to rebuild Downey Group to keep enjoying the fortune.


    Clevnd drove Hayden home from the funeral.


    “It’s better to cut the tie with them, they are all mental.”


    Freddie sat on the sofa and told Hayden,” Something bad could have happened if I wasn’t there on


    time today.”


    Hayden was neither an idiot nor saint, she won’t sacrifice herself and got sunken into the feud for


    power and fortune, she nodded and looked at Clevnd.


    “Mr Sanchez is always beside you nowadays, are you two?”


    Freddie’s face changed and he almost choked himself with water hearing that, “It’s not what you think,


    we are… friends.”


    “Really?” Hayden looked towards Clevnd suspiciously.


    Freddie was a shy guy, the truth can only be heard from Clevnd.


    Clevnd nced at Freddie.


    “Yes, sort of.”


    “What do you mean by sort of?” Hayden asked.


    “Everyone defines friend differently, if he said yes, then it is.”


    Hayden was puzzled.


    “Can you be more specific?”


    “He is the only friend I have.”


    So that was the truth.


    Hayden looked at Freddie with a smile, she saw his fair skin slowly turned pinkish and asked


    intentionally.


    “Fred, why are you blushing?”


    “I’m not.”


    Freddie’s face stiffened and said, “I feel warm.”


    “We are entering autumn, warm you said?”


    Hayden’s face was full of mischief.


    “I feel warm, your home is too hot, I’m not going to stay, I’m leaving…”


    Soon as Freddie stood up, Clevnd who was on standby mode quickly stood and tidied up his suit.


    “I’ll give you a lift.”


    It was clear from Hayden’s point of view that Freddie blushed even harder.
