Chapter 341



Only her grandfather had given her a sense of belonging to a family when she was young, when even Scarlett was strict with her. Mr. Beckham was a cold and serious person, very different from Hayden’s grandfather who was charming. But, in fact, they both cared about the younger generation.

Although both were unhappy, Harrison didn’t mind. When they were ready to leave, he told Hayden that he didn’t care about anything that happened. He wouldn’t mind, but Scarlett who was a very tough woman, must have been very angry.

In the evening, the room was filled with the smell of shampoo.

Joseph took a shower and went to bed, then picked up a magazine to read while Hayden sighed beside him. Joseph smiled, still looking at the magazine, and said casually to her. “You’re still upset about dinner. But don’t worry, in fact, you’re not familiar with them, it’s a good thing you don’t socialize with them anymore.”

“I’ll turn into a pig if I ever come in contact with them again.” Hayden turned and looked at Joseph, “I was just worried about my Aunt Scarlett, she has hypertension and must be very upset right now.”

“That’s okay, if you’re really worried, you can go visit her tomorrow and take a look at her.”

“I will.” Hayden sighed again, “I have a feeling something bad will happen again.”

Joseph returned the magazine to its place and clasped it in his arms. “Don’t think about it, let’s go to sleep.”

Hayden couldn’t fall asleep. She knew Scarlett didn’t want her to marry Joseph since she didn’t expect to see her be Noah’s stepmother, but she didn’t know her relationship with Noah. She believed he would not treat Stella well since she had her own child. She wanted to tell him the truth before the wedding, but the most important thing was to confess it to Joseph first.

“I have something to tell you.” After hesitating for a while, she decided to speak.

Joseph hugged her back and rested his chin on her shoulder. Then he replied softly, “Okay.”

“It’s about Noah…”. As he said this, Hayden felt him hug her tighter. She was too nervous to continue.

A few minutes later, Joseph’s deep voice came from behind her, “I did bad things before and you don’t have to think about it anymore. I won’t keep looking for that woman, you will always be Noah’s mother. That’s enough.”

He thought Hayden still cared about Poppy. When things happened one after the other, he didn’t have time to explain it to her either. In fact, he owed her an apology. Now she was bringing it up and he had a chance to say it.

But Hayden’s feelings were very complicated. She couldn’t tell him the truth after he said that. She asked in a muffled voice, “What happened with Poppy, what did she say to you after you learned the truth?”

“I couldn’t find her.” Joseph’s chin brushed the back of her neck and he said carelessly, “I asked Magnus to take care of that.”

Hayden was nervous, “What are you going to do to her?”

“Why are you so worried about that woman?”. Joseph hesitated.

“No, nothing.” Hayden held his breath and said, “I’m just curious.”

When Joseph wanted to ask something else, she pulled back the blanket, “I’m sleepy. I’m going to see my aunt tomorrow morning.”

Seeing this, Joseph turned off the light and said nothing more.

The sound of steady breathing came from the side. Hayden felt the steady beating of his heart and knew that Joseph was satisfied with the current situation. If she didn’t lie too much, she wouldn’t feel so torn. It was hard to explain what happened six years ago.

Later in the evening…

The bars of N City were still as noisy as ever, with men and women bobbing their heads and wiggling wildly to the music.

In a special room in the bar, Violet, wearing extremely vulgar stockings, stood in front of the electronic screen to sing a song by a Korean girl group. She sang and danced very sexy.

Before the song ended, a thin man on the booth couch clapped his hands. The music paused. The man’s eyes were a little cold, “Good dance, you are suitable for the female lead in this movie.”

“Thank you, Director White.” Violet stood up straight, smiled and bowed to the man.

After Franklin was incarcerated, she lost a lot of resources. If she wanted to make money, she had to make movies; and if she wanted to make movies, she had to attend all kinds of shows. At first she never participated in such parties, but now she had to drink to make $10 million.

“But you’re missing something.” The man looked at her, “Do you know what you need?”.

Violet froze. “Please tell me.”

“You’re not sexy enough.” The man exhaled a smoke ring, he looked very comfortable, “The leading lady in the movie is a prostitute and has no shame in her flesh. What you just did is not ambitious.”

After being in this circle for so many years, Violet understood what he wanted. In fact, he just wanted her to offer herself. She slowly raised her head, her red lips were seductive. She smiled charmingly and slowly lowered her shoulder strap.

Her beautiful shoulder was left in the air. And she said softly, “Then, Director White, I’ll try again.”

The bar went quiet in the early morning.

Outside a plush room, a girl dressed in a bunny suit had been leaning against the wall.

The door opened and the girl woke up. She yawned tiredly. “Are you finished?”

Hearing that, Violet blushed and looked at her fiercely. The ‘bunny girl’ immediately covered her mouth, “I didn’t mean that…”.

Violet was very upset. “Remember it’s all because of Joseph and Hayden. They make me suffer this, someday they will pay for what they did”.

The ‘bunny girl’ shuddered and followed her intently.

“I didn’t dare go out today, Joseph’s people are in this neighborhood. They have been hanging around here every day for a long time. They seem to be out to get me, what should I do? I can’t stay here for the rest of my life to sell beers.”

“What are you worried about?” Violet looked at her impatiently. She grimaced and said coldly, “What if you get caught, is he going to kill you? He wants to catch you, doesn’t he? I want to see how he’ll react if he knows the woman he loves has been lying to him.”
