Chapter 345

Right after Ted finished talking, Benjamin grabbed the chair next to him and threw it at Ted.

“Dream on!”.

“Bang!

The bang woke up a lot of customers.

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s that?”

“Please be quiet!”.

At that moment, a burly man smashed the glass door with a pipe. His ferocious behavior frightened the receptionist. The customers also ran to their rooms.

“Let him go.”

Rebekah’s voice was hoarse. She gripped Ted’s clothes tightly.

Ted covered his head wound with a towel. He shrugged at Rebekah and said viciously, “I wanted to have a peaceful conversation with you, but your son wouldn’t agree. I will invite your son to live with me for a few days, he will come back when I see the money after a week. If I don’t see the money, your son will never come back.”

Rebekah was frightened, but her voice was full of hatred, “Ted, you old bastard!”.

Ted seemed used to such words. He snorted, “You should have known that before.”

Then he ordered some strong guys to take Benjamin away.

They wrecked everything as they drove off, almost leaving the whole inn in ruins.

It was snowing this morning, so the road was also covered with snow.

Therefore, Hayden arrived late this day. It was almost noon when she arrived at the office; she wasn’t busy, but she still had to go to announce the plan for the vacation.

“We’ll have a vacation in half a month.”

Her announcement surprised everyone.

“Really? Then the vacation is still several days away.”

Hayden smiled kindly, “We should avoid the travel rush, I want them to have energy when they come back from vacation. I’m going to give you a twenty-day vacation, so come back on time and work with all your energy.”

“Okay, we’ll work with a lot of energy when we get back!”.

The long vacation motivated everyone and they all promised to work hard when they returned.

“All right, everyone get back to work. It’s not a vacation yet.” It was Dante who said that. He was always the one who calmed the excited guys down.

Back in the office, Hayden joked, “You look like more of a boss than me, I think I should sell you the company.”

“I’m not interested.” Dante said, “I don’t want to do anything except design. I wouldn’t want it, even if you gave it to me.”

“Give it away? Stop dreaming.” Hayden smiled, “I have no reason to give you the company.”

Dante looked at Hayden, “Then what’s your reason for giving the Downey Group to the ST Group?”

Hayden was dumbfounded to hear this. He frowned, “How did you know?”.

“Is it hard to guess? Everyone knows that ST Group is set to acquire Downey Group.”

“What’s your opinion?”

“I have no opinion.” Dante looked expressionless, “I just think you’d better take over Downey Group if you want to develop Green Lemon Clothing right. You have the lion’s share, so it’s easy for you to take over.”

“Really?”

Hayden sat back in the office seat and smiled.

“I don’t think it’s easy, there’s a lot of corruption in the company. I only worked there for a few days and I’ve been tired even though Joseph helped me a lot. In this life there are no shortcuts for everything, we must develop Green Lemon Clothing step by step.”

As Hayden had already made up his mind, Dante didn’t say anything else, he just handed a document to Hayden.

“I won’t say anything as long as you know what you are doing, this is the last agreement you have to sign. You can focus on preparing for your wedding after this.”

“I don’t need to prepare anything.” Hayden said with mixed feelings, “I’m going to Lanxi City these days. Please don’t let Joseph know about my plan.”

Dante never liked Joseph, so he definitely agreed.

“Don’t worry. I’ll never let him find out.”

…

After Rebekah and Benjamin left the hospital, Hayden was unable to get in touch with Benjamin. He had asked his college buddies and knew he had finished his final paper. There didn’t seem to be anything serious, but Hayden was still worried.

There must have been other things Rebekah hadn’t told him, and they must also have been reasons for Benjamin’s assertiveness.

Hayden had heard what Benjamin had said to Joseph that day at the hospital door. Benjamin said that Joseph would regret it someday. That didn’t sound like a warning, but a caution of sorts.

In the evening, when Hayden got home and opened the door, he was shocked by the scene inside.

In the hallway, next to the bedroom door, Joseph was standing on a ladder. There were several pink wind chimes on the ceiling, beautiful and cozy.

“I don’t think I asked you to do this.” Hayden walked over and raised his head to look at those wind chimes, “What are you doing up there?”.

Joseph had finished his work. He came down from the ladder and explained, “I saw them in a video, those wind chimes are on all the brides’ houses. Oh, and the equal balloons, although those I’ll bring back later, as they don’t last long.”

“I was very lucky to find such a thoughtful groom.”

Hayden was amused. He smiled and clung to Joseph’s waist like a koala bear, refused to let go even as he washed his hands.

“I’m just helping you do this.” Joseph said, “I’m afraid you’ll hurt yourself climbing so high. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“I’m busy.” Hayden blinked, “Help me, please.”

“Busy? A lot of work at the company?”

“Yes.” Hayden looked away and didn’t dare meet Joseph’s eyes, “I’m busy. It’s the end of the year, so I have to work overtime every day. Huh… I might not have time to meet with you these days.”

“I’ll wait for you at home.”

“No.” Hayden refused, “My aunt said you can’t stay with me before the wedding. Go back home.”

Joseph frowned, “I’ll be back the day before the wedding.”

“No, it’s customary.” Hayden took Joseph by the hand and explained, “I don’t want you to leave either, but it’s tradition, we have to obey it.”

Joseph didn’t flinch.

Hayden had no choice. He turned and shook Joseph’s hand, then said in a baby voice, “My dear husband .
