Chapter 266: Hard to Exin


    No wonder that girl was calling another person’s name that night.


    Caesar made a mistake. The surrogate mother didn’t show up that night, so Caesar sent another girl


    into the room. After that, Caesar made that girl gave birth to the baby to cover up his mistake. Caesar


    was afraid that what he did might expose, so he fired the initial batch of bodyguards, then retired from


    the job.


    Now everything is crystal clear.


    “I’m afraid that Caesar might want to bring this secret into the coffin with him,” Magnus said heavy-


    heartedly.


    “But somehow, this secret affected the benefit of somebody. These people went and questioned


    Caesar, and they knew we were suspecting about it. So they killed Caesar before we found out the


    truth. It was not an ident.”


    “All in all, somebody didn’t want us to know that girl was a mistake.”


    “That girl…”


    “Look for her.”


    Joseph frowned. He took a nce at Noah, who was focusing on his food, then whispered, “Take


    Noah’s DNA if it is necessary, andpare it to the DNA bank of Nanking.”


    The truth was not in at all. Joseph wasn’t interested in Noah’s birth mother at first, and he sure didn’t


    want her to show up around him, but now it seemed like it involved conspiracies. He needed to know


    the truth.


    Magnus realized the significance of it. He nodded, “Sure. I’ll start looking now.”


    …


    It was two in the afternoon. The press conference from the Green Lemon was held in the DF Hotel


    Conference Hall. Many reporters attended the press conference. People knew about Hayden and


    Joseph, so they wanted to dig up some gossips.


    Hayden was reading the script Benson gave her. It was only five minutes left before she needed to go


    onto the stage.


    “Heydy, you can’t break in like this.”


    “Hey, what are you all doing? Call the police. Call the police…”


    Noises rose from the outside of the lounge out of sudden. Just when Hayden thought people were


    trying to sabotage their press conference, she heard a familiar intense voice.


    “I’m looking for Ms. Downey.”


    Hayden startled. The door opened the next second.


    “Aunt Scarlett.”


    Scarlett stood by the door of the lounge. She was wearing a dark green coat with an elegant scarf on


    her neck. She looked like she was in her 40s, although she was already in her 50s. Scarlett had three


    bodyguards with her, and they were preventing people near her.


    Scarlett was obviously pissed off. She entered the room and said, “Hayden, you don’t need to attend


    the press conference today.”


    “What? Why?” Hayden was still holding the script. Scarlett took it away from her.


    Scarlett threw the script into the dustbin after taking a nce at what was written on it.


    “It’s no use saying all these. Those reporters are shameless. Brook was so irresponsible to leave this


    mess for you to clean up. I will take charge of everything today.”


    “Aunt Scarlett, I can’t.” Hayden looked at Scarlett in worry.


    Everything was well- arranged and now Aunt Scarlett showed to stir her n up?


    “What are you talking about? Are you saying that my words aren’t as powerful as yours?”


    Joseph’s voice rose when they were arguing.


    “What’s wrong?”


    Hayden startled. She then saw Ste and Noah were hugging her legs. Ste raised her head and


    called her, “Mommy!”


    Things were getting out of control. Hayden looked at Joseph, “Why did you bring them here? This is not


    a cocktail party. What are you all doing here?”


    “You, fussy kid. Let me be the one telling the media that Brook is a bad person and he wasn’t even


    your real father. You have nothing to do with the Downey Group. Why didn’t you understand me?”


    Scarlett was a hot-tempered person. Hayden didn’t know how tomunicate with her when she


    looked so angry.


    “It’s not that I don’t understand,” Hayden felt like it was hard to exin her thoughts.


    Joseph gave signals to the security guards and asked them to clear up the staff at the door. He then


    closed the door behind me, “Scarlett, can I give you my opinion?”


    “…”


    The reporters were sitting below the stage at the press conference. Hayden was sitting in the middle


    and Benson, the Public Rtions Manager and Scarlett were sitting right next to Hayden.


    The reporters weren’t going to be kind to Hayden. Their first question was rather rhetorical.


    “Ms. Downey, are you the eldest daughter of the Downey family? Are you the daughter of Brook


    Downey?”


    Hayden nodded in response to the question.


    “So Ms. Downey, since you are the daughter of Brook Downey, why are you safe from the incident and


    get to open a newpany when all Downey members were affected? Is it true that Brook Downey


    had transferred his money to you and your newpany before the incident?”


    “Of course, not. Not a penny in my father’s will belongs to me. I don''t hold any share and I have never


    stepped foot into Downey Group before. It is hard to say that I’m involved with the Downey Group at


    all.”


    The crowd was in an uproar. The reporters didn’t believe what Hayden said, “Ms. Downey, you said


    that you are the daughter of Brook Downey but you have never stepped foot into your father’spany


    at all? It is not possible. We learned that you are quite wealthy, and one of your property located at the


    city centre worth one billion RMB.”


    “Our source told us that the property was a present for you being of age.”


    “The property was a present of being of age but you don’t get anything from your father’s will? It


    doesn’t make sense.”


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Brook Downey enriched himself with the money from property development, and the workers don’t get


    their sry until this very minute. Could it be that Brook Downey knew he had cancer and he could


    escape legal punishment, so he transfers the money to you quietly?”


    Before Hayden could exin, the reporters started to let their imagination flow. The press conference


    almost got out of control.


    “Enough!”


    A loud and strict voice rose in the conference hall. A person stood up and showered Hayden with her


    shadow. Hayden saw Scarlett stood up from her seat.


    “This is all bullshit!”


    “…”


    “Who is this?”


    “Why’d she talks like that?”


    “…”


    Scarlett’s voice gave the reporters enough pressure, so the whispering below the stage slowly stopped.


    “What do you know? Do you even know thew? If a person transferred his money to somebody else,


    then he can escape from being sued after death? Then the number of murder cases among family


    members or bosses around the world will surely be uncontrobly high.”


    Scarlett’s cold and powerful voice surrounded the hall and startled everyone in the conference room.


    “Let me tell you why Brook Downey didn’t give anything to Hayden. I must tell you this. Hayden was the


    eldest daughter of the Downey family, but she was the second daughter of Brook Downey! That girl


    who jumped was Hayden’s sister, and the woman who ran away was her stepmother, not her birth


    mother!”


    Gossips from the wealthy family always interest the reporters more than other news. Everyone was


    excited to hear this gossips.
