President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free

Chapter 150: Disassociate

The moment Viola looked up, she saw the evil eyes opposite her. She was immensely panicky and she vaguely felt that Lachlan was not an ordinary person and the relationship between him and Joseph was certainly not simple too.

“Why do you hold grudges against him?”

“It’s none of your business. You just need to do what you need to do.”

Lachlan’s attitude was indifferent, obviously not intending to utter any more nonsense.

“What should I do then?” Viola calmed herself and took a deep breath, “You have to give me some clues.”

She felt bad to have Achilles’ heel being controlled by others. But since the matter had come to this point, it was obvious that this guy was superior in stratagem. What she could do was to blame Jason for finding people that were so careless. How could they let this guy escape?

“Very simple. You just need to create an accident and plant the evidence on someone.”

…

“Good morning, Ms. Downey.”

“Alright, good morning.”

Hayden brought along the two little kids when she went to work at the hotel. Along the way, many employees greeted her and those who saw this for the first time showed a surprised look.

“I’ve told you before but you don’t want to believe. Ms. Downey has lived together with Mr. Beckham for a long. When Mr. Beckham goes on a business trip, he directly let her take care of his son. She has

brought his son along to work every day, I saw it yesterday.”

“Eh? Isn’t it very difficult to serve our prince? When he stayed in the hotel before, many things happened and the hotel was almost turned upside down.”

“If not, how can we say that Ms. Downey is really capable? She can coax the prince well and this is equivalent to coaxing Mr. Beckham well.”

“If I’ve known that earlier, whenever Little Noah comes to live in the hotel, I’ll be the first to go and approach him. Even if he punches and kicks me, I also won’t leave. Then, isn’t it that I’ll be the young female owner of the Beckham family?”

“Dream on! If you infuriate the prince, you will lose your job.”

“Yeah, true.”

“Well, it’s better for ordinary people like us to work while adopting a down-to-earth attitude. We can only change our fate through working.”

“…”

It was not that Hayden totally did not know the gossips in the office. As those words were not unpleasant and the gossips she heard were not too outrageous despite being added with some elements and then spread, she was lazy to bother.

As Joseph was on a business trip these two days, she did not feel at ease to leave the two little kids at home. So, she simply brought them to the hotel to work together. Anyway, the people in the hotel knew both of them so she would just let them wander around as long as they did not go out of the hotel.

“Same as yesterday. If you want to eat, go and find Benjamin. You guys can only play in the hotel and if you guys encounter a certain matter, call me or the receptionist, Lillian.”

“Got it, Mommy. You quickly go to work now.” Stella urged Hayden to leave while Noah nodded obediently and also tugged Stella’s clothes with a helpless look.

After arriving at the office, the assistant, Jeff ran over in a hurry.

“Ms. Downey, something bad has happened.”

“What is it?”

“The headquarters called us just now, asking the security guards of the hotel to pay more attention and also telling you not to come to work for the next two days.”

“Why?” Hayden who was originally looking at the computer screen looked up and realized the seriousness of the matter, “What’s wrong?”

“Look at the trending topic yourself.”

Hayden was stunned. Her fingers tapped on the keyboard quickly and the news of the trending topic that day quickly popped up on the webpage.

“The popular singer, Freddie’s first love and girlfriend are exposed at the same time.”

“The legendary cultivating woman fights with the current girlfriend.”

“Freddie has incestuous love as he does not forget his first love who is elder than him.”

“…”

A series of big headlines in red was very shocking. The images and texts used were printed with the watermark of the same media.

“Headquarters and Freddie’s company are urgently dealing with this matter but the boss behind this media company seems to hold some grudges against Mr. Beckham. Perhaps he won’t agree to help. The comments on the Internet now all lean to one side.”

With a worried face, Jeff said carefully, “Ms. Downey, we believe that you aren’t that kind of person but the matter of photos perhaps can’t be solved easily.”

These photos were taken backstage on the day of Freddie’s concert. The one who was described by the reporter as Freddie’s current girlfriend was Chelsea. However, the one who was described as the elder sister who adopted Freddie whom Freddie had mentioned in the show before was naturally herself.

Hayden clenched her fists tightly.

“This is absolute nonsense.”

“All of us think that it is nonsense,” Jeff nodded and went along, “You’re only two or three years old elder than Freddie. You guys have no blood relationship so how can they say that it is incestuous love.”

Hayden almost burst into laughter and she rolled her eyes at Jeff.

“Jeff, you indeed approach this problem from a very special perspective.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Jeff was very slow-witted as he even took it as a compliment, “It’s because Ms. Downey has trained me well.”

The news came out in the morning and soon overwhelmed the entire Internet. Although Freddie just became famous recently, he was having career growth. His fans were unstable as there were many schoolchildren and idiotic fans. Instantly, there were many comments of criticizing and scolding.

When this side just found a way to remove a trending topic, the topic, ‘Feel sorry for Freddie’s girlfriend’ rushed to the top three again.

Hayden originally wanted to pack up her things and go home early to follow the advice given by the headquarters. But before she left, she received a call from Joseph.

“I’ve just finished a meeting.” The voice on the other end was a bit hoarse and he was seemingly sleep- deprived, “I’ve seen the news. Stay at the hotel these two days and don’t walk around freely. It isn’t safe to go home.”

Hayden froze for a moment, “You don’t intend to ask me about the photos?”

In the photo, she and Freddie were hugging each other. The paparazzi also took the photo at a very tricky angle. It was obviously the embrace of family love but the paparazzi took the photo at an angle that made them looked like they were reluctant to leave each other. There was also a photo of Chelsea covering her face and running away in tears at the side. Such a comic-like contrast would let the one who saw it have boundless imagination.

“Since I hope that you don’t believe what the news says about me, then of course, I shouldn’t do to others what I don’t want to be done to me.”

Hearing these words, a layer of warmth enveloped Hayden. She stifled her voice and said.

“Thank you. When will you come back then?”

He had gone on a business trip for several days already. Probably because he was very busy, this was the first phone call from him.

“I can’t go back temporarily. Can you handle it yourself?”

“Yes,” Hayden answered.

“Good.”

The phone call ended after only two to three sentences. To be simple and concise had always been Joseph’s style while finding a solution oneself after encountering a problem was also Hayden’s style.

Afterward, Hayden thought and remembered that the phone call apparently did not even seem to last a minute.

If it was another woman, perhaps that woman would fly into a rage. No wonder Joseph had been single for so many years. He did not even know how to say some encouraging words of concern. It was his luck that he met her as she understood that he was truly busy.

Thinking of this, Hayden felt that she was slightly at a disadvantage. Why was she so good at finding an excuse for others?

In front of a five-star hotel abroad, Joseph got in the car after hanging up the phone.

“Which media company is the news from?”

“Strong Wind Media.”

The assistant, Magnus was frowning, “The comments on the Internet now can be basically divided into two sides. One side consists of Freddie’s diehard fans who refused to admit that Freddie has a girlfriend. The other side consists of people who feel sorry for Freddie’s gossipy girlfriend and keep scolding Freddie and Ms. Downey. Shall we do something about that?”

“No.” Joseph’s face was full of certainty, “Disassociate Hayden from the ST Group.”

“Huh?” Magnus was puzzled, “Disassociate? Then Ms. Downey…”

Seeing Joseph’s indifferent face, Magnus silently swallowed back the latter half of his sentence.

One better did not try to guess about his or her boss’s mind. Even if one guessed, one might not be able to guess it correctly too.
