The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 167

When the plane landed, Hayden received a missed call as soon as she turned on her phone. After taking a glance at it, she flipped through her contacts and called Jeff.

“Hayden, you’re back!” As soon as the call got through, Jeff’s voice sounded on the other end of the call.

After that, Hayden asked, “Could you find the contact number of Vivien from SG Group?”

Addison had showed her severity on the first day of official inspection. She hadn’t been to the inspection ever since then, so she didn’t have Vivien’s contact number.

“Vivien?” Jeff’s tone was a little surprise, but he replied after a moment, “The operation department should have it. I’ll go and check it out for you.”

As soon as the taxi was heading towards the main road after leaving the airport, Hayden received Jeff’s message.

After comparing Vivien’s phone number with the missed call, Hayden narrowed her eyes and closed her phone screen to recover from her surprise. She wasn’t intending to take notice of this missed call.

Addison was the one who called her, and the purpose of her call was evident.

Furthermore, Hayden believed that she would call her again.

It was already afternoon when she arrived at her apartment. Hayden took a shower in a good mood. She hummed some melodies and cleaned her apartment, preparing to bring the two kids over this weekend.

Before she could finished cleaning her house, Addison’s call sounded again.

“Hello, who is it?” Hayden knowingly asked after the call was connected.

“It’s me, Vivien.”

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little indifferent, unlike her friendly attitude at the drink that day.

Hayden was calm, “What can I do for you?”

“Are you free? I need to talk to you.”

“If I remember correctly, the person in charge of the business cooperation between the SG Group and ST Hotel isn’t me. I think you’ve found the wrong person.”

“I’m not looking for you regarding the cooperation. It's a private matter.”

“What private matter do I have with you?”

“Hayden,”

Vivien sounded a little impatient, as if she could barely suppress her temper, “Stop asking when you already knew why. Do you think you can peacefully stay at Joseph’s side by hiding from me?"

Hayden almost laughed upon hearing this.

Hayden originally thought of how high-ranked she was, but she became so anxious when Hayden prodded her a little bit. Joseph was right. She was just a spoiled young lady.

They made an appointment to meet at a cafe on Yuedu Road three o’clock in the afternoon. It was the time when people had afternoon tea, but there weren’t much customers in the cafe. When Hayden took a look at the menu, she immediately understood the reason for their poor business.

The cheapest cup of Americano cost 1690 dollars.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll pay for the bill.”

Addison’s voice sounded from opposite.

“Well, I’m still able to pay for this myself though.” Hayden closed the menu and smiled at the waitress, “A cup of plain water please, thank you.”

Addison frowned with a slightly surprised look on her face.

The waitress hesitated and looked at Addison.

“Give her a cup of plain water.” Addison said awkwardly.

It was probably because she felt embarrassed that Hayden ordered a drink that didn’t cost any money at such a high-end cafe.

Hayden looked extremely calm, “I just don't think that it will take the time for a cup of coffee to talk to you.”

“You didn’t want to see my face that much?” Addison looked at her coldly, “So you know about the relationship between me and Joseph?"

“Joseph told me that you were his sister.”

“He told you?” Addison scorned, “It seems that I have overestimated you. How could you think that what Joseph told you the truth was the truth?”

“Wasn’t it?” Hayden calmly looked at her.

“Responsibly speaking, I’m his righteous fiancée. Since you don’t want to talk to me, I can tell you clearly that my relationship with Joseph can't be replaced by your few months relationship with him. Maybe it’s possible before my return, but I’m back right now. Hence if you’re a smart person, you should take the initiative to leave him. Don’t humiliate yourself.”

“Responsibly speaking?”

Hayden replied indifferently, “Was it also responsible of you to give up on the engagement and got married all the way to France? You already got married and divorced. If the marriage contract of your previous relationship can still be counted, then you’re really dallying in the world of love. Do you think that Joseph is your back-up plan?”

“Watch your mouth!” Addison’s face took on a ghastly expression, “What back-up plan? I’ve never thought this way. Did you say this in front of Joseph too?”

“Aren’t you very confident? Do you think what I’ve said will affect your place in his heart?” Hayden felt it was ridiculous, “You were the one who didn’t want him in the first place. Why did you think that he would return to you now that you want him? Even if I take a step back and return him to you, don’t you think you should ask for his thoughts first?”

“As long as you leave his side, Joseph’s heart will come back to me no matter what he thinks now.”

When Hayden heard her words, she felt that she had really overestimated this woman. She still thought that Addison was a high-ranked woman previously, but now it seemed that she was just a naive and shameless young lady.

Then, Hayden phone rang suddenly. After taking a glance at the call display, Hayden looked at Addison and said faintly, “Wait until I finish answering this call.”

Seeing this attitude of hers, Addison was even more pissed.

Hayden pressed the answering button in front of her.

“Mr. Beckham.”

“...”

“I don’t have any matter this weekend, so I’m planning to bring the two kids back to my house for two days. I’ll pick them up on Friday night.”

“...”

“Okay, we’ll have dinner together. Joseph isn’t back yet. The progress of the project at Beijing is still advancing. He will probably only be free after these two days.”

“...”

While Hayden was answering the call, the expression on Addison’s face got even worse.

After ending the call, Hayden looked at Addison and said, “I gotta go now. If you still have something to say, hurry up.”

“You...” Addison gritted her teeth angrily, “You must leave Joseph. This is a warning.”

“Then I’m telling you, I have to take my leave now.”

Hayden stood up, “By the way, I have a kind reminder for you. If you planning to meet and talk about things like this with another person, remember to bring money or something equivalent to that. You can’t trade nothing for something.”

After saying that, Hayden felt high-spirited in an instant and left the seat with her bag.

Addison’s angry tone sounded behind her, “I thought you were a woman with principles, but it turns out that you’ll do anything for money too. How much do you want?”

Hayden stopped her step for a moment, but she didn’t turn back.

“You seem to be quite good at work. I used to wonder why did you give up Joseph for an unreliable man, but I could understand now. You might really have a problem with your brain.”

She had said everything so clearly, but Addison still couldn’t understand her words. This afternoon tea with Addison made her feel that she had overdone her mental preparations before meeting this woman.

Addison trembled with anger. She had never been humiliated like this before. She felt angry that she couldn’t say a word when she watched Hayden leaving the cafe.

A blue-grey figure passed by her and directly sat opposite her, “Are you fine?”

The woman's voice sounded very sweet and concerned. Addison raised her head and muttered in dissatisfaction, “I’m fine. Who are you? Don’t you have your own seat?”

The woman opposite did not answer her, but she quirked up the corner of her lips and asked, “Do you know why Hayden is so confident and self-righteous in front of you?”

Addison was stunned.
