Chapter 232: Why Can’t I Suspect You


    Joseph Beckham’s questioning had let Harrison Beckham fall into silence, holding his brush.


    Joseph’s sonorous voice sounded in the study, “Three years ago if you hadn’t been overly trusting


    Franklin, he wouldn’t have had a bad idea and did something to hurt Noah. Back then you said just let


    this go by unsettled for the sake of rtives, as what happened had happened. I listened to you, but I


    didn’t expect that you would use him again for he is such a person.”


    Joseph’s tone was full of disappointment to Harrison.


    After all, Harrison was tremendous as he always put the saddle on the right horse. And he would never


    be reckless of the right and wrong just because it was the rtives.


    Back then, Joseph had roughly investigated who was the one behind this who nearly got Noah


    Beckham killed. If it weren’t for Harrison who stopped him, Franklin Hawkins would have ended up in


    jail.


    “What happened three years ago might not have been done by Franklin. And there was no tangible


    evidence too.”


    Harrison wrinkled his eyebrows in rage.


    “What do you mean not having tangible evidence? Grandpa, I’ve shown you all the evidence, and you


    were the one who told me not to investigate further. As for the truth, you should have probably known it


    back then. Otherwise, why would you say this?”


    Joseph was gloomy, “Are you getting muddler as you are old?”


    The brush in Harrison’s hand broke with a snap and fell on the rice paper.


    A big stain was left on the rice paper. A deep and resonant voice, with a sense of anger, sounded in the


    room, “I’m old, but I’m not muddled yet. Joseph, do you really want me to make it clear to you? For the


    matter of Noah nearly died three years ago, do you really think that I didn’t know who did it?”


    Joseph frowned, “What do you mean by this?”


    Harrison was sullen and very mad, “Back then I wanted you to get married and have a child but you


    refused. You even carried Noah back home just because you were angry at me. Let me ask you, have


    you ever perform your duties as a father? The incident three years was very suspicious. Those who


    had close contact with Noah’s nanny was not just Franklin only.”


    As for raking up this unsettled old incident, all of them were doubtful, but Joseph didn’t expect that


    Harrison would suspect him, “You suspect me?”


    “Why can’t I suspect you? Did you take Noah as your son back then? To you, is there anyone or


    anything that can’t be exploited?”


    Harrison was very gloomy.


    Joseph clenched his fist, and after a moment of silent confrontation, a cold voice sounded in the room,


    “Starting tomorrow, the ST Group is passed to Franklin without the need of your dismissal. I quit.”


    As he just said, a clear sound of opening and closing the door came from the study. Joseph’s figure


    could no longer be seen before others reacted yet.


    The housekeeper chased after Joseph at the door to put in some good words, but Joseph was wholly


    indifferent and just left.


    “Young master.”


    “Mark,e back.”


    Mark wanted to chase after Joseph, but he was stopped in his tracks by a reproaching voice inside the


    study. Mark could just only watch Joseph left, sighing as he entered the study.


    “Sir, why do you have to make such a scene with the young master? He’s an adult now.”


    Harrison was wiping his hands. The calligraphy paper on the table had fallen to the ground, and the


    brush that was broken into two pieces indicated Harrison’s anger at that moment.


    “Is he an adult? He is not even a normal person with emotions and desires.”


    Harrison frowned in anger, “I don’t know why he would be like this. There’s nothing in his eyes besides


    benefits.”


    “Not so much, the young master is still very respectful to you, and he also cared for Noah so much.


    Isn’t the young master developing quite well with Ms. Downy now? Isn’t this what you expect?”


    It was instead not to mention Hayden Downey. Harrison looked gloomy again, noting her.


    “No need to mention this matter again. I have misjudged it this time.”


    Mark was stunned for a moment, “Sir, do you mind that Ms. Downey hasn’t yet divorced her ex-


    husband? Investigation shows that they have been separated for a long time, and their marriage has


    ceased to exist.”


    Although Harrison no longer involved in the business industry, no changes in Nanking’s business


    industry could escape from his eyes. He even knew the matter about Edison Godfery searching for


    partners to do promotion is Nanking recently.


    After some researches, only then Harrison knew the rtionship between Edison and Hayden was


    unusual. Edison was Hayden ex-husband, and the two were just only separated and not divorced.


    But this wasn’t the main reason for Harrison’s sudden opposition. He nced at Mark, “What’s


    Joseph’s exnation to the board of directors for the loss of the project in Guangzhou?”

    “The young master said that he made a negotiation mistake.”


    “It’s just his excuse.” Harrison said in rage, “I’ve asked those of the Guangzhou branch, Joseph had left


    before the negotiations were finished that day. Do you know why? That’s because something


    happened to the Downey family. Hayden’s father, Brook Downey died of illness. And Joseph went


    straight to the airport.”


    “It’s just… human nature, right?” Mark exined, “After all, the young master and Ms. Downey are in a


    rtionship.”


    “But he shouldn’t have been so impulsive like this. The weather was bad that day, and he waited at the


    airport for two days, just for the first flight to get back.”


    Harrison was exasperated as he thought about it, and he pped the table, “It’s nonsense.”


    Joseph’s nature was unsympathetic and extreme. Although Harrison always wanted him to marry and


    have children like ordinary people, he even worried that Joseph would involve in aplicated


    rtionship, triggering unmanageable consequences.


    The existence of Hayden had changed Joseph’s humdrum life.


    Mark wanted to persuade, but looking at Harrison’s furious look, he gave up as anything he said at this


    moment would just be adding fuel to the fire.


    On the other side, Joseph went to the courtyard where Noah was staying. He let the maid pack a few of


    Noah’s personal things and wanted to take him away.


    Noah was having fun with Eleanor Beckham, and when he heard that Joseph wanted to take him


    home, he took out his small board, writing down a line, “Where are mommy and Ste? Are they going


    back together?”


    Seeing this, Joseph was sullen, “No mommy nor Ste. Just you and me, just like old times.”


    “No.” Noah blurted out.


    His childish and hoarse voice echoed in the courtyard.


    Joseph froze for a moment. After all, Noah seldom opened his mouth. Joseph eased up and persuaded


    patiently, “Go back with daddy. You have lived here for too long.”


    Noah shook his head and wrote down a line instantly, “Ste told me to wait here for her. She will be


    back soon to apany me.”


    Seeing that Noah had made up his mind, Joseph was in a ck mood, and he picked Noah up from


    the ground, striding towards the exit of the courtyard.
