Chapter 40: She Is Your Younger Sister?

Although he knew that Stella was very clingy to him, Joseph never thought that this girl had the
intention to match him and her mother up as a couple. He froze for a few seconds before he regained
his presence of mind. He fondled Stella’s head but did not answer anything.

“Noah also likes my mommy very much.”

Stella made a killer move and winked while saying.

“You can ask Noah, I’m sure he sincerely hopes that my mommy can become his mommy.”

Joseph’s gaze fell on the hospital bed. He asked hesitantly, “Noah, is it true?

Noah nodded his head vigorously.

Joseph frowned and he heard Stella’s voice again.

“Mister, Noah totally doesn’t like the superstar. If you want to get a wife, shouldn’t you consider his
opinion! My mommy has said she will ask my opinion if she wants to find a stepfather for me.”

So, what she meant was that if Joseph agreed, Hayden would basically also agree with it too.

Bewildered, Joseph wanted to laugh and weep all at once, asking.

“Stella, don’t you have a father?”

“I have, but since I grow up, I’ve not seen my father more than twice in a year.” Stella sighed like a
young adult with a face of bitterness, “I’m very poor isn’t it?”

As she said, she secretly sized up Joseph’s expression too.



Joseph could somehow understand in his mind. No wonder Stella followed Hayden’s surname. It was
probably because the husband and wife did not have a close relationship so they separated a long time
ago.

She still dared to criticize him, wasn’t that she also did not have enough care of her daughter as she
did not even know what her daughter actually wanted.

While Joseph was analysing the relationship between the husband and wife, Stella and Noah secretly
looked at each other. The eyes of both of them were flashing with lights that meant ‘aim is achieved’.

…

“You’re certain that nobody saw what happened there that night?”

In the café of the golf course, Viola, who was dressed in a casual outfit, was leisurely drinking coffee.
While smiling extraordinarily pleasantly, she waved her hand from time to time at the producer who was
swinging the golf club outside the door-to-ceiling window.

But as soon as she turned her head to look at the agent, her face was abruptly stiffened.

“Don’t worry, Viola.” The agent had a relaxed look.

“I’ve asked all of them with indirect questions. That day, those maids were busily distributing the gifts
among themselves so nobody was at the scene. When they arrived, the little child had already been
lying on the ground for a while.”

“It isn’t a difficult thing to conceal that from those fools. Even if someone has seen it, I’m not afraid as a
huge amount of money can let a person do anything others ask him or her to do. I’m just afraid about
the matter that Harrison has asked people to go and investigate in the villa, are you sure they don’t find
out anything? Harrison is very thoughtful.”



“I’m sure nothing can be found out by them. When I send people to ask the maids, do you know what
do the maids say?”

“What?”

“They said that for so many years, they have never seen their young master bringing a woman home,
but they have seen you on his bed. In this case, do you think you’ll still be suspected?”

When this matter was talked about, Viola instantly became triumphant, “I definitely have the ability to
play it by ear. You guys really think that I haven’t learnt anything but just accompany Joseph for nothing
these six years?”

The fact that Joseph did not like womanizing was known by almost everyone in Nanking. Other than
Viola who was barely considered his rumoured girlfriend, he absolutely had no woman around him.
Many people even suspected that he was gay.

Regarding this point, Viola’s agent also suspected before but Viola did not take it seriously.

“I don’t care whether he likes men or women. What I want is not his liking, but the title as the young
female owner of the Beckham family.”

While they were chatting, a figure that was in the distance paused for a few seconds. After the person
saw clearly that it was Viola, she then enthusiastically walked over, “Viola, what a coincidence, you’re
also here too?”

Hearing a familiar voice, Viola raised her head and looked surprised, “Chelsea? Why are you here
too?”

Chelsea was dressed in a beige chic suit and was carrying a Chanel handbag which was a limited
edition. She took off her sunglasses and revealed a well-groomed face with smiles on her face. The



agent gave her a seat.

“I’ve just arrived.” Chelsea put her handbag aside, “I’m supposed to play with a friend here but when I
arrive, my friend says that she suddenly has something to do so she can’t come. I’m about to leave but
then I unexpectedly bump into you.”

“We haven’t seen each other for more than a year, right?”

“Yeah, you’re busy as you keep acting in a play every day, unlike me, I’m very free.”

“Can I be compared with you? You’re the daughter of the Downey family, so you don’t have to run
around for a living like a person in the entertainment industry such as me.”

“…”

The two of them knew each other when they met during a business reception a few years ago. They
had a close relationship and it was just that they had not been in touch recently.

After an exchange of pleasantries, Viola asked Chelsea how was she doing lately. Chelsea sighed.

“Everything is fine. But I’ve indeed encountered some troubles recently.”

“Troubles?”

“Have I ever told you that I have a younger sister who has the same father but a different mother as I.
She has come back recently so my father starts to pay attention to her again. He had originally agreed
with my mother last time that he would let me go to the company. But, he has started to hesitate again
recently, saying that he needs more time to think about it. Is it possible that I don’t know his intention?
He’s actually considering someone else.”



“Younger sister?” Viola was slightly surprised, “How come you still have a younger sister. I’ve never
heard anyone else say it. Don’t tell me she’s your father’s illegitimate daughter?”

Chelsea frowned and said vaguely.

“There is apparently such a matter. Her name is Hayden Downey. Since she was young, she didn’t get
along with us. She then went to university to study medicine and she always stayed in the school
hostel. She has never participated in the event of our circle, So, it’s normal that others don’t know her
existence.”

When Viola heard the words ‘Hayden Downey’, her face changed.

Hayden Downey? Chelsea Downey? Why hadn’t she thought of that?

“I really detest her very much.” Chelsea’s face suddenly darkened, “If it isn’t because of her, the life of
my mother and I should be very easy. But with her around, my father worries that she’ll be treated
badly so he always considers her in every aspect. I’m really irritated whenever I think of this.”

“Anyway, she isn’t your biological sister.” Viola asked tentatively, “You and your mother don’t like her.
She’s also an illegitimate daughter. So, she can never replace you. Just find some way to kick her out,
isn’t this kind of thing very common?”

Chelsea did not explain the matter about the illegitimate daughter. Hearing Viola criticize Hayden like
this, she felt really good. At that moment, she told Viola about the matter in the past too.

“It isn’t that I’ve never done anything about it. I did six years ago. I managed to set a trap to let her put
the Downey family in disgrace so my father would certainly give up to let her inherit the family business.
But unexpectedly, she disappeared at the most important moment. She was indeed capable as she
disappeared for half a year in the country and went overseas secretly and even stayed there for five
years.”



Hearing this, Viola’s heart thumped. She felt that something was not right.

But Chelsea was still chattering.

“It doesn’t matter to me since she has already left, but why she comes back after five years, what does
she want to do? Is she hiding her light under a bushel and thinking to fight for the family fortune with
me and this is the reason she comes back now?”

Viola remembered the girl who was always around Viola, pondered for a moment and asked, “Is your
sister married?”
