“Say it! Why do you show up in the security footage of Caesar’s house?”
Back to the partial hall from the yard, Joseph asked Benjamin directly about the old things before he
can take a relief.
Half mouth ago, Joseph went to visit him in the Military Hospital for this thing specially, so he happened
to know the relationship between himself and Benjamin and Rebekah Beckham. Now the
misunderstanding was cleared up, but there was no other new clue about Caesar’s death.
With a pause of having tea, Hayden subconsciously took a look at Benjamin, with unknown panic.
“Don’t you suspect that I killed Caesar?”
Instead of a reply, Benjamin asked Joseph.
Joseph looked in a plain face.
“The innocent is innocent. If you don’t kill him, you just make it clear why you went back to the old town
for those days and turned up at Caesar’s house.”
The air was dense for the moment.
The new identity of his younger brother didn’t make Joseph be politer to Benjamin, but he was more
eager to know whether his little brother had something to do with Caesar’s death or not.
“Well, I have to admit that I went there for a thing with the request of Viola.”
The voice of Benjamin rang in the house, breaking the ice, which also made Hayden serious.
Was he going to tell all the stories, even about the Noah’s background and the things in the past?
“Viola Kidman?” With a changed face, angers showed up in Joseph’s eyes, “What did she request you
to investigate?”
“Noah’s background.” With a plain tone, Benjamin’s face was calm. “Viola wanted to know who is
Noah’s blood mother, so she pointed me to investigate. From the tracks that Caesar left the Beckham
family, I deducted that it has something with that you found a surrogate mother, and all the clues refer
to Lanxi Town.”
Hayden held the tea cup tightly, with a pale face.
From the corner of the eyes, Joseph saw the odd look of Hayden, and frowned invisibly.
“That year, there was something wrong with the surrogate mother. I figured out all the truth and found
the woman who gave the birth of your baby. Brother, would you like to know who she is?”
Benjamin suddenly asked.
It’s quiet in the living room.
Joseph turned to look at Hayden, to see her being upset. After the silence for a while, he declined.
“No, go on with Caesar’s death.”
With a surprised face, Hayden looked at Joseph’s side face, with unspoken feelings inside.
He was worried about her, so he declined to know the truth.
Benjamin gave a glance at Hayden, with a complicated look in his eyes. The truth was just in front of
them, but no one wanted the truth to be revealed. Perhaps the colossal accident would cause a good
marriage. But it will be a different story if Benjamin told the truth here. It’s better that they can be frank
to each other and have a talk about the past.
“Viola knew that you also were investigating this thing, and she worried that you will plan to find Noah’s
blood mother for the sake of his disease. She requested me to kill Caesar so he cannot tell who is
Noah’s blood mother. I pretended to say Yes, but it never occurred to me that Viola never trusted me.
She assigned another man to fire the house when Caesar and I were in the house.”
Joseph and Hayden knew what happened later. Benjamin luckily escaped from the fire, but lost his
memory temporarily because of the wounded head. What’s more, he met Hayden who went to Lanxi
town at that time for business and was brought by her to Nanking city out of the colossal accident.
“Then I checked in the ST Hotel, and my memory recovered. But I cannot let Viola know that I am still
alive, and I had to make sure whether it was Viola or not who wanted me to die. So I pretended that I
didn’t get my memory back all the time.”
Benjamin also told that he encountered Viola in the ST Hotel.
“What’s more, I got her tested at that time, and I can make sure that most of the accidents Noah
experienced these years have something to do with her.”
“What about the fire in the kitchen?” With narrowing the brows, Joseph asked.
Benjamin nodded.
“I let her do that. She contacted the workers of the hotel and threatened Addison to do that thing, from
which it was concluded that she was very familiar of the ST Hotel. She knew the M.O. very well, so she
must have done such things many times.”
In fact, Benjamin regretted that he let Viola do that. He thought that he just got her tested. Although
some accidents happened, he thought he can protect the two kids from any harm. However, he went to
another place to find out why Noah got the aphasia 3 years ago, when Viola started her plan. No one
knew what will happen if Addison hadn’t caught herself and rescued Noah.
When it came to this thing, Benjamin lowered his head to avoid Joseph’s eyes, with a guilty look.
So now the time line was much clear. These years, Joseph did have suspected Viola. But she was
really good at acting and disguising, so he didn’t collect some evidences. Now the relationship between
Viola and Franklin and the evidences found by Benjamin made everything clear.
Thinking of that Noah had suffered a lot because of this woman, Joseph got a bad look. With a
clenched fist and the clear nerves on his arms, he was in great anger.
“I advise that the police take over this thing.” Benjamin knew what Joseph was thinking, and he
hurriedly made an advice. “It’s not good to you if you plan to deal with it yourself. Recently, successive
accidents happened to ST Group, and the attentions of reporters are still on your company.”
If Joseph dealt with it himself, it’s much likely that he would throw Viola into a desert island. But
Benjamin was right, the time now was not a good time to do such thing. The Beckham had reported
that the missing Rebekah Beckham and her son had been back the family, and a lot of eyes were on
the ST Group for more news.
So the things about Viola had to been taken over to the police.
It’s dark. Benjamin was not very well. After chatting for a little while, they went back rooms respectively.
Hayden was sitting in the front of the mirror and using the hand cream, thoughtfully. She was even not
aware of Joseph’s approach.
“What are you thinking?”
With a jump, Hayden looked at Joseph with wide eyes, then calmed down after a while. “No…nothing, I
just recalled something past.”
“About what Benjamin just said?”
“Yes!”
Hayden rubbed her fingers uncomfortably, “Joseph, wouldn’t you really like to know Noah’s
background?”
“No.”
Joseph took her hand, “An unknown woman, nothing will happen if I know her. It’s better to know
nothing about her than make you embarrassed. Noah is little now, and she thinks you are her mother.
That’s it. You are her blood mother.”
Joseph considered that the fake Pola Baker had made a gap between him and Hayden. So Hayden did
mind the investigation of Noah’s blood mother. It’s better not to go farther with the thing, lest there were
other misunderstandings.
Hayden was very bemazed, and a lot of words were hidden in her heart so long. She didn’t know how
to speak them up.
