The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 115

As soon as she saw Hayden, Lillian broke into tears and cried out.

“Ms. Downey, I didn’t take any necklace. She slanders me.”

“I know, I know you didn’t take it. This matter is not investigated clearly yet, you come down first.”

“You’re lying.” Lillian held the railing with one hand and wiped her tears with the other hand. The people who watched this got cold feet but she screamed at the top of her voice.

“All of you are lying to me, it’s totally not like that, you all trust that starlet. She wants you all to sack me, I’ve heard everything.”

Hearing this, Hayden’s face turned pale and she glared at Jeff fiercely, “What’s going on?”

Jeff wrinkled his brow, “Mr. Brown and the others think that it’s more important to quickly let the film crew move out, so…”

In the crowd, Mr. Brown suddenly interrupted.

“The reason I do this is for the sake of the hotel.”

“Even if you’re for the sake of the hotel, you can’t simply sack someone at will.” Hayden glanced at Mr. Brown and her gaze was so sharp and cold that he was scared and he shivered. At that moment, he did not dare to say anything anymore.

Hayden looked at Lillian again, raised her voice volume and shouted.

“Don’t worry. I assure you that this matter will be investigated clearly. If the necklace isn’t taken by you, certainly no one will sack you.”

Lillian’s beautiful face was as white as a sheet and was full of depression and disappointment. She shook her head repeatedly with tears streaming down her cheeks.

“It’s impossible. You guys will definitely sack me.”

After these words were uttered, the railing of the top floor in disrepair suddenly made a cracking sound. The rusty railing that was connected to the cement stone pier made an ear-piercing sound of friction, causing the onlookers to exclaim.

Hayden clenched her fists tightly.

“Things can’t go on like that. Jeff, you talk to her to attract her attention. Just say something about her grandmother who’s in her hometown, I’ll find a way to bring her down.”

After these words were uttered, with heart pounding violently, Hayden quietly approached Lillian from the edge while bending her body after Jeff started talking about Lillian’s grandmother in the hometown.

Jeff’s trembling voice echoed throughout the rooftop.

“Lillian, your grandmother’s health is not good and is still waiting for you to send her money every month. You shouldn’t give up your life like this.”

“…”

Under the scorching sun, the sweats appeared on Hayden’s body and were evaporated quickly with each step moving forward. Through the gap in the railing, she could see that the fire brigade was already ready downstairs and they were urgently filling the airbag. From such a high position, even if there was the cushioning of the airbag, one would probably have a concussion upon falling.

Lillian seemed to be almost persuaded by Jeff and she was crying uncontrollably while giving a blood-curdling scream, “If I lose my job, there is absolutely no way for me to send money to my grandmother. I’m not like you guys, you guys can let people die with just a word and still think that it doesn’t matter.”

She was so agitated that her hand that was holding the railing uncontrollably tightened. The railing kept producing ‘clang, clang, clang’ sounds and this made everyone’s hearts leapt to their throats.

‘Clang’. While the screams and shrieks were still on-going, the originally unstable railing finally collapsed. Lillian’s screams echoed throughout the sky.

The crowd at the scene drew in a cold breath and did not dare to look at what was happening.

“Quick, someone quickly comes…” Hayden’s shriek brought the crowd back to their senses.

Was he crazy?

Joseph carried her in his arms all the way down the stairs into the elevator and out of the elevator. He carried her in his arms all the way into her office, ignoring the shocked gazes of everyone along the way.

After returning to the office, Hayden’s face already turned as red as an apple.

“You, what are you doing?”

He threw her on the sofa in the office and his face was cold. He roughly clutched one of her hands that was moving, “Have you ever thought about the consequences if you didn’t catch her just now or if you fell together with her?”

Under his questioning gaze, Hayden felt that her throat was clogged. It took her quite a while to be able to speak.

“You…Don’t you say that the fire brigade downstairs is ready?”

The worst case was that she would fell together with her on the airbag or something else.

“This is the twentieth floor.” Joseph’s face darkened even more.

How useful can the airbag be? Even if she did not die, she might get injured seriously.

Under his compelling gaze, Hayden felt an invisible pressure and inexplicably began to feel guilty as if she had done something wrong. She surprisingly did not dare to look into his eyes again, trying to change the subject.

“Isn’t that I’m fine? I’m just contributing to the hotel. If I really have a glorious sacrifice, you guys will help me to take care of my daughter, right…hmm…”

Before her words were completely uttered, Joseph kissed her lips. Her eyes widened and she stared in disbelief at his abruptly enlarged face in front of her. Her pupils could not focus anymore as the distance was too close. She could clearly feel Joseph’s violent heartbeats.
