Chapter 283 Nothing Happened That Night
Chapter 283 Nothing Happened That Night
What Michelle said attracted the onlookers more than half of the people in the banquet hall.
Hayden stood in the crowd, receiving their eyes of sympathy or contempt from all sides. She felt like
her eardrum was buzzing. Michelle's voice was so loud as a drum, showing her unbearable past in
public.
"People like Chelsea deserve to die. She even didn't apologize to you until she died. It's so open-
minded that you went to her funeral. I admire you, Hayden."
Hayden clenched her fingers and managed to calm down.
She said, “Michelle, I don’t know what you are talking about.”
Michelle looked at Hayden with her arms circling. She seemed to have already expected that Hayden
would not admit it. She smiled insidiously.
"How can you not remember? It just past six years ago! That night on your 18th birthday, uncle Downey
gave you a house. Chelsea arranged that rape because she was jealous of you. After that, you went
abroad because the Downeys didn't want the family scandal to be in public."
The more details she revealed, the more flurried Hayden got.
“Michelle, what are you doing?”
Kingsley stepped out of the crowd, stood in front of Hayden, faced to Michelle and said, "Are you
crazy? Do you know what you're talking about?"
“I'm just speaking the fact. There were so many people thought that Hayden refused to be responsible
for the Downey Group as one of the ladies of the Downeys. I have to tell them how the Downey family
is cruel to Hayden, so that they won't wrongly blame her.”
Michelle seemed to be plausible. Kingsley's face went blue. He abused that she was a maniac and
turned to Hayden and said, “Sorry, Hayden. It's better for you to leave here. Let me handle all of these.”
"Kingsley, don't forget that She has nothing to do with you now. I'm your wife." Michelle felt so jealous
when she saw Kingsley cared about Hayden so much. She was so angry and almost forget to behave
herself here.
Kingsley has been dissatisfied with Michelle for a long time. Seeing that she embarrassed him in front
of so many people here, he was also very angry and shouted directly, "Not anymore!"
“What do you mean? You want to divorce me just for...?”
“Enough!” Hayden interrupted her crying. During their quarrel, Hayden had calmed down. After thinking
over, she took a deep breath and looked around, said in a cold voice, "Michelle, we do get along not so
well with each other, but it's too much for you to slander me. Besides, you shouldn't talk nonsense
about a dead person. Six years ago, when you butted into the relationship between me and Kingsley,
you spread rumors among my classmates that it was me who cheated on Kingsley. And now you do
the same thing again. At that time, everyone was young, but you look around, people here is all
gentlefolk today. Do you really think they will believe your nonsense?"
What Hayden said not only denied Michelle's nonsense, but also put in a good word for the people
here. In fact, what Michelle said was too outrageous and the people at present were just listening for
fun. At this moment, they believed firmly that it was really not credible.
Sure enough, when Hayden finished her words, the guests around were talking about it.
Michelle was exasperated and said, “It was true! You are the one talking nonsense! I heard Chelsea
clearly. Six years ago, she drugged your wine and sent you to the hotel. There were four or five men
waiting for you in the room, and...”
There was an uproar. Everyone was shocked including Kingsley. He didn't know much about what
happened that night six years ago. He only knew that Hayden had an accident that night, but he never
thought that Michelle was so clear about it.
The guests were not stupid, but there were many discussions.
Hayden sneered, "Michelle, it seems that you truly have known a lot about it. You said that you knew
everything in advance. At that time, as my best friend, you saw someone was about to push me into
the hell and you didn't tell me. Why are you mention it now after six years?"
Michelle's face turned pale. She stuttered, "Because... Because Chelsea threatened me not to say..."
"She's dead. You surely can shift the blame to her shoulders."
Hayden looked grave, "Did you really think that you were the only one had heard about the disgusting
plan in advance and I was as innocent as a lamb?"
“What?” Michelle’s face was turning green.
"Nothing happened that night. I caught you and Kingsley in the act doing something disgusting. And I
did drink too much wine, but later, I was not taken away by Chelsea or any man you said."
“No way...”
“It was true.” Freddie's voice came out of the crowd and attracted everyone's attention.
Hayden looked back, and the crowd behind her automatically separated and gave way to Freddie and
Cleveland.
Freddie stood by Hayden's side. He was more than half a head higher than her. His face, which was
always smiling, now was as ice-cold as the coldest winter.
"It was me that took Hayden away that night. Michelle, I can forgive you for what you just said this time,
but if I heard you talking nonsense again, I'll never let you off."
"You took her away?" Michelle obviously didn't buy it, but she was interrupted by Cleveland before she Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
finished.
"Mr. West, today is the AW cocktail party for people in the trading circle. We haven't seen our friends
for a long time. The purpose of this party is to resume our friendship and get to know some new
friends. It's not suitable to put your family's private affairs here."
As the president of AW, Cleveland carried a lot of authority.
Kingsley said immediately, "I'm sorry to spoilt your fun. Before we got here, my wife and me had a
quarrel. She made trouble just because she was dissatisfied with me. I'll go back to deal with this
matter."
Michelle wanted to argue for more, but she was glared at by Kingsley, "You say nothing, or we go to the
court to divorce tomorrow."
Michelle had to shut her mouth.
Outside the crowd, the figure with a bright yellow dress had a panoramic view of all this happened.
After looking around, she didn't find the person she wanted to meet. She supposed that there was no
more gossip, then she walked towards the second floor.
Cleveland looked around. The crowd was so bustling and annoying so that he shouted in a loud voice,
“Let's stopped gathering. There's nothing important. It's all just the private chores.”
People gradually left here. Freddie held Hayden's hand and felt it cold. He was worried about her and
asked, "Hayden, are you okay?"
“I’m fine.” Hayden breathed a sigh of relief.
Cleveland darted a look at their hands, and suggested, “We should go find a place to have a rest.”
Freddie said, "Right. There are lounges upstairs. Let me take you there."
"Never mind." Hayden took out her hand, "I'll go there myself. If you see Joseph, tell him where I am."
Referring to Joseph, Freddie frowned and said, "At this time, Joseph has become a coward. I haven't
even seen him when you are getting trouble."
Cleveland looked thoughtfully towards the upstairs and said, “He might have gone to the rest room. I
guess he didn't know the things happened here.”
"Being in the rest room for so long?" Freddie didn't think so and said rolling his eyes, "Maybe he has
prostate problems!"
