Chapter 10 Hayden’s Real Father?

 

Nicole was surprised; she didn’t expect Joseph to know her. She couldn’t help taking another look at the man. He wasn’t bad-looking, and he looked even more handsome in person than in photos. With his dashing eyebrows, pug nose, and charming eyes, he looked just like a pretty boy. “You know me?” she asked curiously. There’s no way Queenie would tell him what happened five years ago.

Joseph’s eyes flickered with sarcasm. “Why would I not know Young Lady Nicole of the Anderson Family?”

 

Nicole heard the sarcastic note in Joseph’s voice, but she couldn’t seem to recall if she had ever offended him.

A hint of scorn flickered across Joseph’s eyes. I’ve heard from Queenie that this woman wants to be my dad’s second wife for money. I hate such vain women more than anything else!

Upon hearing his words, Nicole finally realized why Joseph was so hostile toward her. However, she wouldn’t acknowledge such groundless stuff. “I think you’re mistaken. I’ve never thought of marrying into the Mann Family.” The smile on her face vanished. She said, “I’m here today to talk to you about the collaboration.”
