Chapter 292 I Haven’t Agreed


    Vi’s words were like buzzing noise to Hayden and just fled past her ears. She only frowned and left


    right away.


    To Hayden, Vi’s mentality of ming everything to the other party after breakup would only get


    bitten herself.


    The dinner was surprisingly smooth and Franklin didn’t mention the acquisition.


    When it’s around 9 o’clock, someone suggested that they should go to another party. Looking at all


    men’s colliding eyes, Hayden understood what kind of parties they wanted to go next.


    Then she smiled, “Well, I’m afraid I have to pass. It’ste and I have to tuck my kids in.”


    “I’ll send President Downey home.” Franklin immediately said.


    All the guests were pretty tipsy, but Franklin was weirdly sober. Hayden looked at him in bewilderment,


    not knowing what he wanted to do.


    “There is no need of that.” ncing at Franklin, Hayden said, “Sending Ms. Kidman back home safely


    is far more important to President Hawkins. I have my driver.”


    “Didn’t President Downey’s driver just called in busy and left?” Franklin looked at Hayden smilingly


    which made her extremely ufortable.


    “Doesn’t President Downey trust me? Well, there is no need of worrying. I meant to ask my driver to


    send you home. I still got to apany Mr. Wright for the next round of drinking.”


    Hayden was taken aback that he even knew that her driver left. She then though that if she acted like


    she hated Franklin, she would probably lose a bunch of potential customers in this circle.


    After weighing up pros and cons, Hayden agreed.


    Franklin then smiled and pushed his sses.


    Then he said to other people, “Mr. Wright, how about we send President Downey to the door. She is


    the only woman tonight. We got to make sure she is safe, right?”


    “Sure. Sure.”


    People all chimed in with his words. They were all pretty drunk and even two managers which Hayden


    brought along started nodding. Anna was furious and winked at Hayden meaningfully.


    Franklin did say that he would ask his driver to send Hayden home, but considering the tense


    rtionship between the twopanies, it’s a bit dangerous.


    Franklin’s driver had already pulled up the car which was a deep blue Porsche when a group of people


    sent Hayden to the door.


    Acting like a gentleman, Franklin stepped forward and opened the car door for Hayden, “President


    Downey, would you please?”


    Holding her bag, Hayden let out a smile after seeing the woman who was sitting within the car.

    “Well, I believe President Hawkins should be the one who gets on.”


    “President Downey isn’t regretting your words, are you? You know, in the business world, we really


    despise people who are unreliable…”


    “Well, it seems that you are the one who are fucking unreliable.”


    A screeching voice suddenly came from the car and directly cut Franklin’s sentence. Standing behind


    Hayden, Vi’s face suddenly turned pale.


    Wearing a burgundy-colored high heels, a well-dressed woman stepped out of the car. She then


    immediately threw her Hermes bag to Franklin’s face and roared,


    “Franklin, are you fucking insane? I fucking told you to stay away from this bitch right? How dare you to


    bring her to a banquet? Am I dead to you?”


    Franklin got both afraid and awkward. Hugging his wife’s Hermes bag, he asked hurriedly, “Why are


    you here?”


    “It’s irrelevant. The important thing is what is this whore doing here?”


    Pointing at Vi next to Hayden, Franklin’s wife got furious and just flung herself to Vi.


    Vi then shrieked and her hair was pulled violently.


    “You fucking whore! You just love seducing my man right? Well, how about I strip you down so you can


    seduce more man on the street?”


    “Are you fucking crazy?”


    While struggling, Vi yelled, “I had nothing to do with him. Let go of me.”


    “Who would believe your bullshit?”


    It was a pretty chaotic scene and Hayden was standing in the middle of the crowd. All the drunkards in


    the dinner surly can’t stop their fight. On the contrary, they were actually enjoying all the drama.


    Franklin’s face darkened and felt incredibly ashamed.


    ring at the driver and assistant who were standing aside, “Are you all having fun? Stop standing


    there. Come here and break them apart.”


    A big hand suddenly held Hayden’s wrist and pulled her outside the crowd before she can even yell out


    while she was watching Franklin’s drama.


    “Who are you... Joseph?”


    Hayden then noticed that it was Joseph who was dragging her. Hayden immediately became gleeful


    from panic.


    After they stood still in the darkness, Haydenughed, “When did youe here? Why would you drag


    me away? “


    Dressed in a camel coat, Joseph looked brisk. He was looking at Hayden with gentle smile and then


    sniffed her.


    “How much did you drink?”


    “Not much. Just half a cup.” Hayden’s eyes were bright. Then she whispered, “Anna drank the rest of


    the alcohol for me. She really got a great drinking capacity. She didn’t even wobble after what she


    drank.”


    Joseph took the grey cashmere scarf off and wrapped it around Hayden’s neck.


    Then he said joyfully, “I will for sure give her a raise.”


    Then he held Hayden’s hands and put them into his pocket naturally.


    “Let’s walk home. You can also sober up.”


    Hayden just followed him and smiled, “I just had half a cup. I’m far from drunk. Well, you called


    Franklin’s wife to be here, right?”


    “How would you know?”


    “I didn’t even know Vi wasing tonight. Surly Franklin wouldn’t spill the beans. But his wife just


    showed up on time. Well, it can only be you who knew she was here when we chatted in the


    bathroom.”


    Joseph didn’t respond, but the fleeting pondering in his eyes had proved Hayden’s point.


    It’s better that he struck first to gain the initiative.


    He wasn’t nosy and didn’t really care how many mistresses Franklin was keeping. But he just knew that


    Franklin wouldn’t let Hayden leave safely at today’s dinner. ST Group was pressuring Downey Group


    tightly these days which he can easily tell from the financial report.


    “What did you talk with grandpa?”


    Hayden changed the subject.


    “The same old stuff. He wanted me to go back to thepany.”


    “What about Franklin then?”


    “Grandpa said that he would leave for good this time as long as I go back.”


    “What did you say?”


    Looking at Joseph’s calm look, Hayden knew that he didn’t agree, but she always wondered why.


    “I didn’t agree.”


    Just as what Hayden expected.


    Clutching at her hand in the pocket, Joseph said in a sexy voice, “This time, I have to uproot his


    influence within thepany.”
