Chapter 288: The Truth Three Years Ago


    Hayden lowered her head to the drink tea. After listening to Harrison’s question, she smiled faintly,


    “Noah is your great-grandson, I have not rights to not let you take him away.”


    “It''s good that you know,”, Harrison snorted.


    “However, I think that if the problem between you and Joseph is not solved, it would be ufortable


    for the child to be caught between the two of you.”


    “Mark told you, right?”


    Harrison nced at Mark who was on the side.


    The housekeeper didn''t say anything, but Hayden''s calm attitude said it all.


    “Mark just wanted me to reconcile the situation. After all, you and Joseph are a family.”


    “Do you think you have this ability?”


    “No.”, Hayden answered calmly, “So I refused.”


    Harrison frowned, however, he seemed to look a lot better than earlier, “You also think there is no room


    for reconciliation. I have not said anything for so many years, but just try to be quiet, but what he is


    doing now is unreasonable.”


    “Are you referring to him going against your will to be with me?”


    Hayden was very straightforward, “If I remember correctly, you worked hard to matchmade Joseph with


    me.”.


    Harrison was also unambiguous, and red at Hayden, “If I knew you weren''t divorced, I wouldn''t have


    matchmade you with Joseph.”.


    “I can exin this to youter,” Hayden calmly said with no hurries, “What’s more important is your


    rtionship with Joseph. Do you want to know the truth three years ago?”.


    The old man''s expression was stagnant, “What did Joseph tell you?”.


    “He didn''t say anything, I found it out by myself.”


    Hayden opened up the file she saved on her phone and pushed it to the old man, “I previously


    arranged for someone to go to Guangzhou to look for the two nannies who back then looked after


    Noah. This is the text version of their confession. If I want to listen to the recording, I also have it


    however it is currently not with me now.”


    The old man looked at the file on the phone and his expression gradually became tense.


    “At first, Teresa and Sabrina said that the young master had instructed them to prescribe the medicine.


    I also thought it was Joseph. Back then I think you also received the same words but there’s something


    I want to ask you.”


    “Ask”, the old man curled his eyebrows.


    “Did Joseph go to your ce often, from the time Noah was born and sent to the Beckhams'' Mansion


    up till the recent three years back when Noah had the ident?”

    The old man''s expression sank a little, and he seemed unwilling to answer


    Mark on the side said, “Master had never been there. He was angry with my Harrison during those two


    years.”.


    Due to the peculiar born of Noah, Harrison did not fulfill his promise of handing the ST Group’s power


    directly to Joseph. Due to these two reasons, the two were at loggerheads for a full two years.


    “If that’s the case, how could the young master mentioned by Teresa and Sabrina be Joseph?”


    Hayden immediately highlighted the most critical point, “And they all said that they had seen the young


    master several times in the old house. Although it was not of a high frequency, it left a great impression


    on them. The servants who had been working for a long time in the family called him, young master.”


    Harrison’s face changed.


    Mark’s face also changed.


    “Mr…”


    “Is it necessary for me to continue?” Hayden asked, “I asked Teresa and Sabrina to identify them with


    two photos however their recollection was blurred.”


    In the entire Beckham family, the person who looks most simr to Joseph is Franklin. If they take their


    sses off, the two are almost 70% simr. After three years, who would still be able to remember the


    man who asked them to do those things in the first ce?


    The truth is often by our side.


    The old man''s face sank, “This rascal.”.


    After some silence, Hayden said in neither humble nor overbearing manner, “It’s not convenient for me


    to deal with the Beckham family’s household matters, so despite discovering this for a while I had not


    informed you. Since you took the time to pick Noah, I think you still care about Joseph and Noah, so I


    don’t want you to be kept in the dark.”.


    It was not glorious for home scandals to be told by outsiders.


    The old man didn''t speak for a long period however his face was pale.


    Hayden distracted the subject with interest, “It should be a bit difficult for Noah to go back with you, but


    if you are willing to let Ste go with you, I’m sure Noah would also be willing to go.”


    “That''s even better.”


    Mark said, “The servants in the old house all like Ste very much. Even Miss Eleanor nags about it


    every day. If Ste goes back with the young master, it would be less quiet at home.”


    Harrison red at him, “Mark, you are more chatty these days.”


    Hayden smiled silently, bowed her head, and drank the tea.


    After leaving the seat, Hayden apanied Harrison outside to the safety to watch the two


    children slide in the colorful ball pit.


    Harrison suddenly asked, “Just now you said that you could also exin the reason why you aren’t


    divorced, why didn''t you continue to exin?”.


    Hayden was taken aback for a moment, “I thought you wouldn''t want to listen.”


    “Why wouldn’t I want to listen to the type of woman is next to my grandson?”


    Harrison frowned, with an unhappy look, “Have you been following that fe for too long that you’re


    making yourself smart?”


    That fe was naturally Joseph.


    Hayden felt a little helpless. The prodigy businessman that had been admired by outsiders, was simply


    just a smart aleck in front of his grandfather.


    “My current legal husband is just a marriage of convenience. We are just friends. Ste is my daughter


    and it has nothing to do with him.”


    Hayden said halfway and left it hanging without exining.


    She knew that since Harrison asked these, it showed that he didn''t hate her so much. Perhaps he


    already believed that her marriage had troubles. However, asking these, gave her a chance to exin


    and a way out.


    Harrison looked at her thoughtfully and asked, “Does Joseph know about this?”.


    “Of course he does.”


    Hayden said in surprise, “Do you think your grandson will be with a married woman? He’s so proud.”


    Harrison looked at her for a while, but instantly returned to his serious look, and snorted coldly, “Who


    knows if he’s losing his mind.”.


    In the distance, Ste slid from the slide with a rambunctiousugh as she plunged into the ball pit and


    it rolled a few more times until she was at the safety.


    Harrison also smiled and reminded, “Be careful, girl.”


    When Ste heard the old man’s voice, she got out of the ball pit and stared at Harrison, “I don’t want


    to be cared for by you, bad grandfather! Hmph!”.


    Suddenly, he was disgusted by the kid who liked him the most. The old man was taken aback, “How


    come I became a bad grandfather?”


    Ste stood inside the colorful ball pit, with hands ced on her waist, and said, “You''re bad, you don''t


    like my mommy, there’s a lot of people chasing my mommy. We don’t care for your family. You forgot


    you made a promise to me. You will look for your granddaughter-inw, and I will look for my daddy.


    Liar, big liar.”


    “What promise?”, Hayden stood aside feeling puzzled.
