The CEO's Lovely Twins

Chapter 186 Is This A TV Drama?

Kevin’s sentence stirred up Joseph’s mind.

“Only Hayden, she broke all your bottom line, changed your principles, and even made you fall into All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

self-doubt. She is the first grey area you encountered in your life.”

Kevin gradually calmed down and sat back on his chair. He stared at Joseph’s with cold eyes, “Just

admit that you can’t live without her anymore. Don’t make a pointless struggle.”

Joseph frowned as he did not feel so comfortable as Kevin analyzed his character traits. So, he glared

at Kevin and coldly said, “When you have spent enough time in my company, get lost.”

He then left the conference room without looking back.

Kevin stroked his chin and laughed sarcastically. He thought that Joseph who did not want to face the

music would suffer more.

Kevin had not encountered many predicaments in his thirty-year life. Even the broken family did not

affect him much, although he was less unfortunate compared to the peers, especially the passing of his

father made him lose his childhood innocence.

At the funeral, it seemed that his mother, who had been running away with her drawing board on her

back for many years, had finally turned over a new lead and decided not to pursue her so-called

dreams and freedom, saying that she wanted to take care of Kevin.

He, however, was calmer than anyone else, telling her in front of all the members of the Beckham’s

family, “Go directly to the Financial Department to take as much money as you want, and don’t ever

appear in front of me again after taking the money.”

Such a person who did not even recognize his mother had changed Hayden’s impression of him.

As an observer, Kevin could understand the situation clearer than him.

“Hello? Alayna.”

A gentle voice echoed in the conference room, “When are you free for the camping trip I told you last

time. I have everything ready now, and the weather lately has been good.”

A female voice came from the other end of the line. It was calm but a little bit uneasy.

“Just wait a bit longer, I am afraid that Hayden has no mood to do that thing recently.”

“What’s wrong?” Kevin sat up straight and asked her after knowing that something was wrong.

“Something has happened to the Downey family.”

Hayden’s father, Brook Downey, had suddenly fallen seriously ill this morning and was in the operating

room for resuscitation. He had not yet come out.

Hayden and Alayna were shopping at the mall and were about to find a place to have lunch when they

received a call from the sanatorium. Luckily Hayden had gone to the sanatorium before and had left her

contact number with the attending doctor, telling him to call her if anything went wrong.

On the way to the hospital, Hayden’s hands were shaking.

The only thing she knew was that her father had been the only one she relied on for so many years, but

because she had known for a long time that her mother’s death was caused by him, she had been

estranged from him.

Brook loved her and doted on her more than on Chelsea.

Her bedroom was the largest room in the entire Downey family apart from the master bedroom. Her

annual birthday gifts were all goodies that could not be bought in China at the time, and even when she

was tricked by Chelsea into going to an underground boxing arena, Brook never scolded her. When

she asked to adopt Freddie, he agreed without hesitation and was happy to say that it was the first time

she had taken the initiative to ask him.

All of this was the reason that Chelsea and her mother jealous of her. However, she understood it all, if

she were Chelsea, she would also be jealous of having such a sister in the family, who was doted on

unconditionally by her father.

“Hayden, don’t worry. Didn’t the doctor say, it’s just temporary shock, he is still being resuscitated. Your

father will be fine.”

Alayna sat with Hayden at the entrance of the operating room, in fact, she didn’t know how to comfort

her.

From the moment she arrived at the hospital, Hayden did not say a single word. Her eyes kept staring

at the door of the operating room. Her face was all pale.

The lights in the operating room were still on, and a dizzying halo of light could be seen after looking at

the red glow for a long time.

A noisy sound of footsteps came from the corridor, accompanied by a very appropriate but also

distracting sound of crying and wailing. Alayna looked into the distance, showing an impatient look.

Chelsea and Sofia were stumbling over. Sofia almost fainted from crying. One of her hands was

shaking in the air as if she had Parkinson’s, “Brook, Brook, how could you suddenly be like this…”

Chelsea who was with teary eyes comforted her on her side, “Mum, don’t be like this, dad will be fine.

Don’t feel so sad. Don’t cry.”

“I advised your father to be hospitalized early and he didn’t listen. Luckily this time he was hospitalized

and there was someone to look after him, otherwise, he would have fainted at home. Brook… you

cannot pass away. I can’t live without you.”

“Mum…”

My God! Holding her forehead, Alayna almost vomited, suppressing his voice in Hayden’s ear and

saying,

“Your stepmother and stepsister are really good. Are they acting in a TV drama? Who are they talking

to?

Hayden’s moved his gaze from the lights of the operating room and swept coldly to the side, “This is a

hospital. Keep quiet.”

Chelsea and Sofia stopped crying abruptly as if they had just realized that Hayden was also there. The

two of them both turned gloomy.

“Why are you here?”

Chelsea looked at her. Her expression was not as soft as what she had just displayed.

“I am the eldest daughter of the Downey family. I don’t think there is anything wrong with me being

here.”

The phrase ‘eldest daughter’ made both Chelsea and Sofia turned pale.

Sofia said unhappily, “Hayden, you can’t be like this, your father has just collapsed and you want to

disown me and Chelsea. You say you’re the eldest daughter, so what status you put Chelsea in?”

“That’s something you have to ask yourself.”

Hayden sat stolidly on her chair, showing a pair of cold eyes, “When I was born, what status you put

yourself in.”

Even though she had hated Sofia and Chelsea for more than ten years in the Downey family, she had

still been polite and courteous to them and had never shown any mercy like what she did today.

Chelsea quarreled with her on the spot. Her voice was sharp and harsh.

“What do you mean? Hayden, you think that you are the boss of the Downey family when dad is dead,

right? You are so shameless. When you made sex with a man and got pregnant with a bastard, you ran

away without saying a word, and now you are back when dad is not well?”

Her voice echoed in the corridor, and many patients and nurses gathered over.

“Even a fool can see what you’re trying to do? Don’t try to act emotional in front of me. Do you think

that you are a good woman?”

Hayden stood up. Her pale face flushed with irritation. She said word by word.

“Repeat what you just said.”

“Are you crazy…”

“Wham” Before Chelsea finished her sentence, she received a hard slap.

Sofia screamed and held her daughter, who had been hit to the side. She cried, “Are you crazy? Who

do you think you are to slap my daughter?”
