Female Novel
Chapter 2421
Hugh muttered, “Are you preparing to get married? Even if you do get married in the future, you can
continue managing Queen Enterprise. Mom and Dad only have the both of us. We’ll definitely have to
divide our family’s assets equally between us. Since half of Queen Enterprise belongs to you, I think it’s
best if our positions remain unchanged.”
Hayden said, “Can’t I take a back seat after working tirelessly for so many years? You’re a man. You
should shoulder the responsibility given to you.”
“I don’t think taking over the company is my responsibility alone. You have inheritance rights too. When
will you get married? I can stand in while you’re on your honeymoon or when you’re pregnant.
“Wait. Kevin should be the one stepping up. He’s the one who’s taking you away from me.”
After speaking, Hugh had to endure another slap to the arm from Hayden.
“Kevin doesn’t owe you anything. Stop finding excuses and return to Mom and Dad’s side. Even if you
don’t want to get to know other businessmen, you can look around to see if any ladies here are to your
liking. You’re getting old. It’s time to settle down.”
“I think Ms. Crawford is great…”
Hugh stopped mid-sentence and chuckled when Hayden glared at him.
He did not fall in love with Quinn at first sight. He simply admired her because she had a different
charm to her and wanted to befriend her.
“You have many lady friends. You don’t need another one. You’re free to approach her if you can bear
Mr. Bucham’s wrath, but don’t come looking for me if anything happens. I won’t clean up after you or
intervene unless Mr. Bucham beats you up badly.”
“You’re so cruel, Hay. I’ll stay away from Ms. Crawford to protect my life.”
Hugh already had many close female friends. There was no need for him to befriend Quinn.
She belonged to Julian. It would be in Hugh’s best interest not to go against Julian and get on his bad
side.
“I’m leaving. Don’t miss me.”
Hayden could not help but laugh. “I won’t miss you. Get lost.”
Hugh ran away when he saw his sister about to kick him.novelbin
“What a rascal,” Hayden scolded with a smile.
Although they were born only ten minutes apart, she felt as if Hugh was years younger than her.
Once Hugh left, Hayden went to sit at a nearby pavilion.
Not long after, the weather changed. It went from sunny to cloudy before it started raining.
Hayden did not expect it to rain, so she did not have an umbrella with her. She had no choice but to
remain in the pavilion to shelter from the rain.
Luckily for her, the rain stopped within half an hour as the sky cleared and the sun was shining brightly
again.
“Hayden.”
She heard a familiar voice.
It was Kevin’s.
He was approaching her with a bouquet of flowers.
Hayden stood up and walked to the pavilion’s entrance, waiting for him to come near.
“Hayden.”
Kevin entered the pavilion with the bouquet. He was part of Zachary’s convoy to fetch Serenity from
Liberty’s villa. Clad in a black suit, his elegance was accentuated. Although Hayden was accustomed to
his good looks, she found him exceptionally handsome that day.
“Back from your groomsmen duty?”
