The CEO's Lovely Twins

"Your family's affairs?"

Scarlett seemed to have expected what he would say. She was not surprised, but her face turned colder.

"I'm not interested in your family's affairs. What I want to know is, how exactly you plan to distribute your inheritance, since you don't have much time left to live. How much do you plan to give Hayden? This gir is very shy like her mother, who is embarrassed to ask for anything, so as her senior, I am asking you now."

When Florence passed away twenty-five years ago, Scarlett already despaired of Brook. He was a man who abandoned his wife, and she didn't think he was a responsible man. However, Hayden was his daughter, and she should get all money that she deserved. After all, Florence was the one who helped Brook to start his business.

The ward was quiet. Everyone there was also concerned about the matter of inheritance, as it was related to them, especially Sofia and Chelsea.

"I've already given Hayden her part of the inheritance,"

Brook said as if he had experienced a lot of difficulties.

"Dad, what did you give her?" Chelsea asked Brook impatiently.

Brook raised her head and looked at her coldly, "I have given Green Lemon Clothing to Hayden."

"Green Lemon Clothing?"

Chelsea didn't even know that there was such a company under the Downey Group. When she was just about to ask Brook what it was, she was tugged by Sofia, who signaled her to keep quiet. Because she was the only one who knew that Green Lemon Clothing was just a memento of Brook to Florence, which had been in financial deficit for the past few years and relied on the main company to maintain it. Giving the company to Hayden was like letting her inherit a poisoned chalice.

"Scarlett." Hayden pulled Scarlett's hand. "I don't need anything else except Green Lemon Clothing, as it was mother's company. Let's go."

Hearing her words, Scarlett frowned and said, "Okay."

"Dad, I wish you a happy and healthy life when you go back."

Brook didn't raise his head to look at her, lowering his head thinking something. If someone looked at him carefully, his eyes were red, looking very sad and at a loss.

Hayden and Scarlett left the hospital side by side. They did not talk about what just happened.

"Scarlett, why did you come to the hospital?"

"I came to pick up a prescription, but the doctor was not around, and I heard that Brook was hospitalized so I wanted to taunt him. I didn't expect he will be discharged today. What a disaster." "Such a coincidence?"

Hayden asked with a smile, "Is there someone who dares to mention my daddy in front of you?"

If Scarlett didn't take the initiative to check Brook's status herself, who would have dared to mention the Downey family in front of her?

There are no coincidences in this world, only encounters that were carefully arranged for someone or something.

Sofia glared at her.

"Don't talk about it again. By the way, why did you choose to inherit a shitty company instead of something else?"

"It's my mother's company, and the other things mean nothing to me."

"How much does the company worth? You didn't inherit the good traits but only inherit the bad traits from her." Scarlett looked disgusted. "You will cry if the company goes bankrupt." "How did my mother start the company? Was it smooth at the beginning?"

"It's not smooth at all!"

Scarlett curled her mouth, "Do you think she is gifted in doing business? At that time, your grandfather looked for many people to help her, but she just sided with the outsiders instead of your grandfather. I can still remember the time when your grandfather prevented her from getting married until you were born..."

They were talking quite relaxingly at first, but later they still mentioned Florence's death.

No one could know the feeling of seeing one's child die earlier than one unless he or she experienced it.

After Florence gave birth to Hayden, she suffered from another hemorrhage when she was just out of the ward, and it was too late to resuscitate her. Then she passed away in the arms of her best friend, Scarlett, who was already her brother's wife at that time, and she did not even have enough time to meet her father for the last time.

This incident hurt Florence's father a lot as she loved Florence the most among the three children. When Florence passed away, she was only twenty years old and still very young. How was it possible for him not to feel sad?

This incident also made him who was always fit weaker, and then finally he could no longer take care of Hayden and passed away.

A man's betrayal had led to the tragedy of three families.

At that time. Scarlett was already pregnant for more than two months and have drunk a lot of Chinese medicine to get pregnant. Before she had time to tell her family about her pregnancy, the only child in her life also died as a stillborn, as she followed the ambulance and ran inside the hospital. After that, she could not get pregnant anymore.

After many years, Hayden only understood the friendship between Scarlett and Florence.

At noon, a table of scrumptious food was prepared to welcome Brook home.

"Brook, it was all the dishes you love to eat. Come and sit down."

Sofia helped Brook sit down on his chair. He picked up the chopsticks and tasted a bite, then he put the chopsticks aside.

"What's wrong dad? You do not like it?"

Chelsea was a bit nervous, "Or else I ask them to re-prepare it."

"No need." Brook coughed and got up. "I am a bit tired and want to rest first. Later help me ask Mr. Lionel come to my study when he comes."

Looking at Brook who looked unwell physically, Chelsea was a bit stunned. "Oh, okay."

Then she heard a clear sound of closing the door from the study on the second floor. The living room of the villa was quiet. Sofia was asking the nanny to clean up the flowers and plants in the corner as if nothing had happened, then she brought out a dinner plate, a bowl, and a spoon from the kitchen, as well as a pot of stewed soup.

"Your father didn't eat anything just now. Bring this pot of soup up and let him drink."

Sofia looked at the soup, "Mum, is this... soup?"

"Of course it's soup, what else could it be?"

Sofia glared at her daughter and lowered her voice, "Don't say such nonsense at home. Quickly bring it up."

Looking at her mother's expression, Chelsea knew that the soup was not normal.

She was a little bit panicked, "Mum, dad is already feeling unwell. Let's not..."

"Do you know why the lawyer is coming in a few minutes?"

Sofia interrupted her daughter, "Your daddy is making an inheritance. He won't only give that little to Hayden. If we wait for him to make an inheritance, we'll have nothing left."

"No. Daddy will not do that. He's not that kind of person."

"Do you want to go?"

Sofia showed a rare impatient look, "If you don't want, I'll go myself."

With that, she dodged Chelsea with her plate and went straight upstairs.

Chelsea bit her lips and was about to chase after her when she heard the sound of the doorbell from her back.

Michael Lionel was here.

"Is Mr. Downey here?"

"Yes." Chelsea looked upstairs and said sharply. "My dad is upstairs and he has been waiting for you for a while. You should go upstairs now."

Michael smiled politely.

"Okay, I know. Thank you, Chelsea."

With that, he walked towards the second floor.0000000000☐☐☐☐
