Chapter 351



After Hayden received the twenty million check, he hurried back to Lanxi City so as not to waste time.

It was midnight when he arrived. She didn’t even sleep all day, to keep herself awake, she had drunk many cups of coffee on the way.

When Rebekah saw the check, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Hayden.”

“Never mind.”

Hayden smiled. He didn’t tell Rebekah about the plan to pawn the necklace, because he didn’t want Rebekah to worry anymore.

“I’ve decided to send Benjamin to study abroad after this and I’m also going on a trip. Ted will never find me again.”

“Don’t worry. A demon like him will be punished sooner or later.”

“Maybe he will.” Rebekah looked at the clock and said to Hayden, “It’s late, get some rest, I’ve already prepared a room for you. Thanks again, Hayden.”

“I’m not sleepy.” After saying this, Hayden yawned. It was embarrassing.

“Well, you’ve helped me a lot. There’s nothing else to do, so get some rest.” Rebekah patted Hayden’s hand and smiled sweetly, “Joseph was very lucky to meet such a nice girl like you.”

Hayden blushed at hearing this.

It was actually his future mother-in-law’s approval.

Hayden said nothing. He went upstairs and lay down to rest.

But then there was a knock at the door, it was Rebekah’s soft voice, “Hayden, are you still awake?”

“Yes, I didn’t close the door. Come in, please.”

Rebekah came in with a bowl in her hand, “It’s cold. I made lamb soup to warm you up, it’s my secret recipe. Try it.”

“It smells delicious.” Hayden hurried to get up.

“Stay in bed.” Rebekah put the bowl on the desk next to Hayden’s bed, then sat on the bed.

She even took the bowl to Hayden.

“It’s cold. Stay here and drink it.”

Hayden felt warmth as he looked at Rebekah. She was beautiful, kind, generous, gentle, and even mature and pure; almost all the best words could be used to describe her. It was no wonder Benjamin said he wanted to find a wife as good as his mother.

“Mrs. Beckham, there had better be no misunderstandings between you and Joseph.” Hayden spoke cautiously, because he was afraid of scaring Rebekah. “Joseph always feels sad when he thinks he didn’t have a mother. He complains, but he is also thirsty for love from you.”

Hearing this, Rebekah felt guilty. She said, “I know he’s a good boy.”

However, there was always something for everyone that they could not do at will. Everyone had their own scruples and problems.

“What if you tell Joseph the truth? I think he’ll understand you.”

“No.” Rebekah steadfastly refused. Such a decision was ingrained in her mind and would never be shaken.

“Why, are you afraid of other people’s comments? It’s okay, you can tell Joseph only. No one will know except him.”

“But how is he going to accept the truth that the father he’s respected for years is not his real father?” Rebekah smiled bitterly. She tried to explain calmly, “He didn’t get close to me when he was young, so I’m not that important in his world anymore, but his father is. Besides, he’s going to have a hard time living in the Beckham Family when he learns the truth.”

Hayden felt warned by those words.

Joseph was proud and confident. If he knew he had no connection to the Beckham Family, he would even refuse to take over the family group. Even the old Beckham could not accept such a terrible outcome.

“We can’t be greedy, there’s always something we can’t get.” Rebekah said softly, “I’m satisfied with my life now, so don’t worry about me.”

Then she picked up the bowl the dishes, “Go to sleep early and get some rest.”

Hayden contemplated Rebekah’s back for a long time. He hesitated and pondered. Just as Rebekah was about to close the door, he suddenly spoke to her.

“The dead are dead. As much as Joseph respects his father, Mr. Beckham is dead and can no longer answer to him. It is the living he should pay more attention to.”

Rebekah’s hand suddenly caught.

“Think about this, please.”

After a few seconds, Rebekah closed the door.

Although she was not in a good mood, she was exhausted. Thus, Hayden fell asleep quickly. He slept well and didn’t even hear his phone ring.

At noon the next day, Hayden got up late. He cleaned himself up and went downstairs.

He saw Lily on the second floor. Hayden said hello and asked, “Good morning, is your boss up yet?”

“She went out this morning.” Lily replied, “Didn’t you know?”.

“Where did she go?”

“I don’t know, she left with a suitcase.”

“What?”

Hayden’s expression changed. He hurried to pull out his phone, and saw many messages on it.

Rebekah had texted him early in the morning, “[I’ve contacted Ted. I’ll do the deal three days later, I can’t let you take any chances. You have helped me a lot. Thank you, Hayden].”

Hayden felt worried.

The bandits would definitely only allow Rebekah to go alone, but Rebekah had said that those bandits were all exiles. Once they got the money, they might not let Rebekah and Benjamin go free. She couldn’t help Benjamin with the money alone.

Thinking about this, Hayden hastened to ask Lily, “Do you know where she has gone? Did she say anything these days? Maybe she has said something on the phone.”

Lily was taken aback, then tried to think about it. After a few seconds, her eyes became bright: “Her phone is linked to the network here. I can check where it is from the computer.”

“Then hurry up!”

They hurried to the reception desk and used the computer.

Lily worked on the computer for a long time, and finally found a plane ticket that Rebekah had bought the night before.

“An eight o’clock flight in the morning, to S-town.” Hayden grabbed her bag and headed out.

As Rebekah had said, this business was dangerous. It was difficult for her to rescue Benjamin with the money, so she had a plan B.

In the car, Hayden called Edison Godfery.

“Edison, do me a favor – has the tracking system your company developed been tested yet – can I use it now?”
