The man, apparently not expecting Hayden to willingly hand over his phone, stood there stunned for a moment. Finally, he blurted out, "Hand it over, just like that, huh? You think this is a joke? Now I get it; you're all in this together, aren't you? Scheming to snoop on my phone, right? What, are you trying to steal my business secrets or something?"The flight attendant was left speechless. Ever since Hayden had pointed out this gentleman, she believed him, but she could not be entirely sure. Without any solid evidence, everything was mere suspicion and speculation. The man's persistent refusal to hand over his phone was becoming increasingly suspicious, especially now that Hayden had willingly offered his. But she could do nothing, as they were all passengers. She could not just wrestle the phone from him."I'm giving you ten more seconds to admit, apologize, and delete the photos." Hayden's voice was as cold as ice, his gaze sharp as a sword.His imposing demeanor made the man s
The man quickly deleted the photo from his phone, then asked, "There, happy now?"He could not help but add, with visible frustration, "She's just so pretty, you know? The pose was perfect, and she has to be some sort of celebrity. I figured I could make some quick cash by selling the snap to the press."Hayden, cold-eyed, glanced at him, then demanded. "Your phone." The man did not dare to refuse and quickly handed it over. Hayden tapped into the recently deleted album, removed Wyneth's picture, and returned the device. "Apologize."The man felt utterly aggrieved, but he had no other choice; he had been caught red-handed, after all. He approached Wyneth, who looked slightly puzzled, and said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken your picture without your consent. Please, forgive me."Wyneth was startled. 'So, I was the victim of the secret photography? I had thought Hayden was suddenly butting into other people's affairs.'Noting Wyneth's silence, even as she turned to look away, t
After Wyneth and Benedict arrived at Acrofburg, they went back to the Hamilton Old mansion together.However, Hayden received a phone call from Matilda after getting off the plane, so he parted ways with them.He went back to the Hamilton residence and said to his driver, "Wait for me here.""Sure, Mr. Hamilton."Hayden walked in.The maid waited at the door and immediately ran inside to notify Matilda as soon as he saw Hayden coming back."Madam, Mr. Hamilton's back."Matilda was not the only person sitting in the grand and spacious living room. Instead, there was also a young and beautiful lady sitting across from her.That young lady was wearing a light pink knee-length dress with her long hair falling on her shoulder and light makeup on her face."Hayden's back? Tell him to come inside now."So, the maid ran out again.However, a hint of blush appeared on the fair face of that young lady as soon as she heard that exchange between Matilda and the maid."Mrs. Hamilton..."
Hayden's face was nonchalant. He squinted his eyes upon hearing what Matilda said as if he had guessed something. Then, he nodded."Sophie, you're so pretty. Have you considered venturing into the entertainment industry? If you're interested, you can talk to Hayden. He's very experienced in this field and he can open up a lot of opportunities for you," Matilda assured her.Sophie could not think of anything else other than Hayden after meeting him.She used to disdain the entertainment industry back then, since she had the impression that everyone involved in it was cheap and dirty regardless of gender. So, whenever someone asked her to consider being a part of it, she would vehemently decline.But for this man in front of her...For him, she felt like she could give it a try.Her lips moved as she was about to speak, but Hayden, who was sitting opposite her, beat her to it."I have some company matters to deal with, Mom. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now."He stood up and
Sophie was relieved upon hearing that.When she had heard that Hayden was married, she had been a bit bothered at first.However, she changed her mind after knowing that the Hamilton family had only found him a wife to dispel the misfortune he had when he was sick back then.She knew very well what Matilda was trying to say.Matilda was telling her that Hayden and his wife were not a real couple, and that his wife was a woman driven by money and status.She thought that genuine affection was the most precious thing to a high-positioned man like Hayden, so he probably did not have any feelings toward a woman like that.However, she just could not figure out why he would say something like that if he did not like his current wife.She could not help but wonder, 'Is he assuming that I'm just the same as his wife? Did he purposely say that because he thinks I'm after his wealth as well?'If that's really the case, I've got to give it a shot and test this man out.'Wyneth had no id
Samatha kept silent. Indeed, she could not understand.Elsewhere, Wyneth went back to her room to unpack. She was still staying in Hayden's room. Since she would be staying there for a few days, she took her toiletries out and placed them in the bathroom.Hayden rarely stayed in the old mansion, so there were hardly any traces of him in the room, and the toiletries and towels on the countertop were all brand new. Although Hayden would use them occasionally, the maid would replace them with new ones if he did not come back for an extended period of time.Wyneth was exhausted after unpacking, so she went to take a bath.Hayden came back to the mansion with a cold expression on his face. After coming in, he instinctively asked, "Where's Wyneth?"The maid paused for a moment before replying, "Young Madam went back to the room to rest after chatting with Mrs. Hamilton Sr."Hayden was taken aback upon hearing that, and the tension is his mind eased.'I thought that she'd find an excus
Hayden was stunned as he saw Wyneth bending over in front of the cabinet, revealing her long and flawless legs.She was checking every compartment, opening them one by one as she with a frown."I still can't find it."She was about to stand upright and ask Hayden about it again as she spoke. However, when she lifted her gaze, she jolted in surprise as she saw Hayden standing there."Wh-When did you come inside?"Wyneth subconsciously pulled the towel tighter around her body.She felt rather awkward around Hayden in a situation like this, but considering what had happened between them earlier, he felt like there was nothing to be awkward about."Just now."Wyneth felt the man's cold aura approaching as he spoke. Then, Hayden stood beside her while half of his chest pressed against her snowy shoulder. Wyneth frowned but she stayed still.After a moment, Hayden opened the cabinet above their heads and asked, "How many towels do you need?""Just one is enough."She knew that Hay
Hayden stared at her silently for a while before going into the bathroom.After some time, Wyneth suddenly felt the other side of the bed sinking. The sudden sinking sensation made her, who never had a strong sense of security, frown and open her eyes.Then, she saw Hayden lying beside her after coming out of the shower with a fresh scent of soap lingering on his body.Wyneth could not process what was happening because she was still only half awake. She lay there and locked eyes with Hayden for a while before she realized what was happening. Then, just as she was about to sit up, she heard Hayden say, "I'm just taking a nap. I won't do anything to you."Upon hearing that, Wyneth stopped still.She pursed her lips and in a hushed and drowsy voice, she asked softly, "Can't you sleep on the sofa?"Hayden stared at her."The sofa's too hard."'Too hard? I think the leather sofa's pretty nice to sleep on. However, it's true that it's not as comfortable as the bed. After all, he's a
