Chapter 258: Haven’t the Two of You Finished Kissing?


    “Start.”


    The emcee gave themand and the audience shouted under the stage.


    The other two groups had already started to kiss each other. Hayden looked at Joseph who was still


    some distance away from her and let out a sigh of relief inwardly.


    “You still know how to … Um…”


    Before she finished her words, Joseph already kissed her. Hayden stared at Joseph angrily as if she


    didn’t believe that he really dared to kiss her.


    Hayden was unable to escape from him although she tried her best to struggle. His hands were holding


    her waist tightly and the two of them were touching each other. Her struggle waspletely futile and


    she had even used up all her strength as he was kissing her.


    The emcee’s countdown was like the evening breeze and she could not hear it clearly. She could only


    remember the sound of Joseph kissing her and the persistence that disyed in his eyes.


    When she was still feeling ashamed, she felt like a ray of light had finally broken through the fortress


    she had worked so hard to build all this time. The light prated a hint of sweetness into his body and


    then spread throughout her body.


    She closed her eyes slowly and forgot that she should try to escape from him. She just enjoyed the


    sweet kiss with him.


    It seemed like a long century had passed. Both of them were breathing very heavily and they were


    almost drenched in sweat when the emcee finally asked them to stop.


    “I think this couple still doesn’t want to finish kissing. You all have kissed for thirteen minutes and


    fourteen seconds, without stopping.”


    Hayden opened her eyes instantly and found that the other two couples hadnded on the ground for a


    long time. The couples and the emcee were watching her and Joseph. She was very embarrassed at


    the moment and felt like she wanted to vanish from a hole on the ground.


    “Congrattions. You two have won the first prize of the event today, a bicycle.”


    Hayden buried her entire face inside her jacket and followed Joseph to get the pink bicycle while the


    onlookers were cheering.


    When she saw the bicycle, she muttered, “Didn’t we want the chocte?”


    Joseph looked back at her, “Then we can switch our prize with the winner of the second prize.”


    “Don’t.” Hayden revealed a pair of eyes from the hood of her jacket, “The bicycle is more expensive.”


    Taking two boxes of choctes back after she had embarrassed herself was not worth it.


    She wanted the bicycle.

    Joseph looked at her and smiled dotingly, “Okay.”


    The two of them pushed the bicycle home. Once they entered the house, they saw Benjamin lying on


    the sofa watching TV wearing his dark green pyjamas.


    “Where did the bicyclee from?”


    He put aside the chips and sized the two of them up suspiciously.


    “Got it as a gift after we purchased the items.”


    Hayden didn’t look at Benjamin’s eyes and she answered Benjamin’s question before Joseph could


    speak.


    “How many things did you two buy then?”


    Benjamin frowned as his gaze fell on Hayden’s mouth, “Hayden, why is your mouth swollen?”


    “What?”


    Hayden quickly covered her mouth, “Nope. I think my lipstick fell off when I ate something just now.”


    “What did you two eat outside?”


    Hayden didn’t answer his question. She quickly covered her mouth and ran into her bedroom, “It’s too


    late. I’m going to bed now.”


    Benjamin and Joseph were the only people in the living room.


    Joseph parked his bicycle in the corner of therge entrance hall. He picked up the supermarket


    shopping bag out of the basket of the bicycle and walked towards the bathroom with a calm


    expression.


    Benjamin changed his previous youthful boyish look and narrowed his eyes to size Joseph up for a


    long time, “Can you be more restrained? There are still me and the two kids here.”


    Joseph didn’t even look back at him, “You can move out if you don’t like it.”


    “Why?” Benjamin leaned on the back of the sofa and stared at Joseph with cold eyes, “I was the first


    one to live here. I have been kind enough already to share half of the bedroom with you.”


    “I don’t mind sleeping on the sofa.”


    Joseph stood at the door of the bathroom and looked meaningfully at the sofa that Benjamin was sitting


    on.


    “Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. No way.” Benjamin snorted as hezily changed his


    position to lie on the pillows, “Hayden knows what you’re thinking too. Thus, you better just stop


    thinking about it and sleep in my room at night.”


    He looked like he wasfortable sleeping on the sofa as if he was quite ustomed to the


    environment here. Joseph frowned and he was a little displeased.


    The door of the master bedroom was opened and Hayden peeked out and called out to Benjamin,


    “Benjamin,e here for a while. I want to talk to you.”


    Benjamin immediately replied to her as he bounced up from the sofa.


    “Okay. I’ming.”


    Joseph’s face turned gloomy as he asked, “Why you don’t want to talk to him in the living room?”


    Hayden sized him up and said, “Not appropriate to talk here.”


    Joseph tried to understand what she meant.


    Benjamin gave Joseph a scornful nce. Then he entered Hayden’s bedroom quickly and closed the


    door of the bedroom.


    Joseph’s face turned pale and he stared at the closed bedroom door for a long time without moving.


    Hayden was looking for Benjamin as she wanted to talk to him about Vi’s matter.


    “Earlier you told me that in the past three years, Joseph was the one who nned to put drugs inside


    Noah’s milk powder. But in the past three years, Noah had experienced many idents. I had been


    with him when he met the three idents these few months alone. I think he had already gotten what


    he wanted, so he shouldn’t be the one who nned the idents in these three years.”


    Hayden was puzzled. Even if what happened three years ago was really done by Joseph to get extra


    power in thepany. Then he had no motive to do such things after Franklin left ST Group.


    “Naturally the things that happen afterwards should have nothing to do with him. Hayden, did you find


    out anything?”


    “Vi.” Hayden showed a cold expression. “Vanessa told me that Vi was the one who nned the


    fire ident. Hence, I suspect that many of the idents that happened to Noah are rted to her.”


    “But Noah having an ident won’t do her any good.” Benjamin analyzed her words.


    “Everyone knows that Noah is the apple of Joseph’s eyes. The reason that Vi can be with Joseph


    these years is simply because Noah obeys her orders. If Noah has an ident, it won’t do her any


    good as she wants to marry Joseph.”


    “Then how do you exin the reason that she wanted to cause the fire ident?”


    It wasn’t the first time Hayden suspected Vi. Vi had just started to work in the hotel during the


    idents the first time she met Noah and the time the crystal chandelier in the hotel fell. It wouldn’t be


    such a coincidence.


    Benjamin disyed aplicated look on his face. After he pondered for a moment, he said seriously,


    “Vi wouldn’t be so brave to harm Joseph’s son. If she really did it, then I also suspect that there is


    someone else instigating her in these matters and the person should be the one who nned the


    incidents.”


    “Someone from the Beckham family,” Benjamin said with certainty.


    “The person wants Harrison to have no more heir so he or she has the chance to inherit thepany.


    Many people have this motive. The first one we should suspect is Franklin.”


    “You suspect Vi collude with Franklin to do such things?”


    Hayden’s expression turned serious. She never expected Benjamin would say such words.
