The CEO's Lovely Twins novel Chapter 232

Joseph Beckham’s questioning had let Harrison Beckham fall into silence, holding his brush.

Joseph’s sonorous voice sounded in the study, “Three years ago if you hadn’t been overly trusting Franklin, he wouldn’t have had a bad idea and did something to hurt Noah. Back then you said just let this go by unsettled for the sake of relatives, as what happened had happened. I listened to you, but I didn’t expect that you would use him again for he is such a person.”

Joseph’s tone was full of disappointment to Harrison.

After all, Harrison was tremendous as he always put the saddle on the right horse. And he would never be reckless of the right and wrong just because it was the relatives.

Back then, Joseph had roughly investigated who was the one behind this who nearly got Noah Beckham killed. If it weren’t for Harrison who stopped him, Franklin Hawkins would have ended up in jail.

“What happened three years ago might not have been done by Franklin. And there was no tangible evidence too.”

Harrison wrinkled his eyebrows in rage.

“What do you mean not having tangible evidence? Grandpa, I’ve shown you all the evidence, and you were the one who told me not to investigate further. As for the truth, you should have probably known it back then. Otherwise, why would you say this?”

Joseph was gloomy, “Are you getting muddler as you are old?”

The brush in Harrison’s hand broke with a snap and fell on the rice paper.

A big stain was left on the rice paper. A deep and resonant voice, with a sense of anger, sounded in the room, “I’m old, but I’m not muddled yet. Joseph, do you really want me to make it clear to you? For the matter of Noah nearly died three years ago, do you really think that I didn’t know who did it?”

Joseph frowned, “What do you mean by this?”

Harrison was sullen and very mad, “Back then I wanted you to get married and have a child but you refused. You even carried Noah back home just because you were angry at me. Let me ask you, have you ever perform your duties as a father? The incident three years was very suspicious. Those who had close contact with Noah’s nanny was not just Franklin only.”

As for raking up this unsettled old incident, all of them were doubtful, but Joseph didn’t expect that Harrison would suspect him, “You suspect me?”

“Why can’t I suspect you? Did you take Noah as your son back then? To you, is there anyone or anything that can’t be exploited?”

Harrison was very gloomy.

Joseph clenched his fist, and after a moment of silent confrontation, a cold voice sounded in the room, “Starting tomorrow, the ST Group is passed to Franklin without the need of your dismissal. I quit.”

As he just said, a clear sound of opening and closing the door came from the study. Joseph’s figure could no longer be seen before others reacted yet.

The housekeeper chased after Joseph at the door to put in some good words, but Joseph was wholly indifferent and just left.

“Young master.”

“Mark, come back.”

Mark wanted to chase after Joseph, but he was stopped in his tracks by a reproaching voice inside the study. Mark could just only watch Joseph left, sighing as he entered the study.

“Sir, why do you have to make such a scene with the young master? He’s an adult now.”

Harrison was wiping his hands. The calligraphy paper on the table had fallen to the ground, and the brush that was broken into two pieces indicated Harrison’s anger at that moment.

Harrison was exasperated as he thought about it, and he slapped the table, “It’s nonsense.”

Joseph’s nature was unsympathetic and extreme. Although Harrison always wanted him to marry and have children like ordinary people, he even worried that Joseph would involve in a complicated relationship, triggering unmanageable consequences.

The existence of Hayden had changed Joseph’s humdrum life.

Mark wanted to persuade, but looking at Harrison’s furious look, he gave up as anything he said at this moment would just be adding fuel to the fire.

On the other side, Joseph went to the courtyard where Noah was staying. He let the maid pack a few of Noah’s personal things and wanted to take him away.

Noah was having fun with Eleanor Beckham, and when he heard that Joseph wanted to take him home, he took out his small board, writing down a line, “Where are mommy and Stella? Are they going back together?”

Seeing this, Joseph was sullen, “No mommy nor Stella. Just you and me, just like old times.”

“No.” Noah blurted out.

His childish and hoarse voice echoed in the courtyard.

Joseph froze for a moment. After all, Noah seldom opened his mouth. Joseph eased up and persuaded patiently, “Go back with daddy. You have lived here for too long.”

Noah shook his head and wrote down a line instantly, “Stella told me to wait here for her. She will be back soon to accompany me.”

Seeing that Noah had made up his mind, Joseph was in a black mood, and he picked Noah up from the ground, striding towards the exit of the courtyard.
