Chapter 1048 A Man of No Scruples
“Freya, why are you smirking?” Hayden might be in his room, and the surroundings were quiet.
“It’s nothing. You look so silly in these photos, and I was
amused,” Freya said.
“You’re stupid too. From college to now, you’re still a silly girl!”
While coaxing Freya, Hayden didn’t forget to say sweet words, tempting her not to give up on him.
He said, “Keep these photos for me. I will use them at our wedding and tell everyone we are the happiest couple from school to marriage. I want them to envy us.”
Freya wrinkled her nose and said shyly, “Humph! Who is going
to marry you?”
Unexpectedly, Hayden smiled evilly and asked, “If you don’t want to marry me, why did you agree to give me a baby?”
Freya thought of the crazy night and blushed uncontrollably.

Fearing that Hayden would tease her, she quickly changed
this subject.
“How about you? Did your family embarrass you?”
Hayden said, “It’s better than expected.”
At least his father didn’t force him to marry Maura. He just
said to let him find someone who was matched for marriage.
But Hayden refused and even proposed resigning from the position of general manager of the Gollust Group. Brian was
furious.
Brian also said, “I thought you were the most like me among my children. To achieve success, you would take advantage of anyone or anything. But in the end, you decided to give up everything you have for that country girl!”
When Brian was young, he fell in love with a woman, Mabel
Deleon.
But Mabel’s family background was not good, so the Gollust family did not accept her.
Brian could only accept the engagement arranged by his family and keep a secret relationship with Mabel.
To win a project, he even sent Mabel to a business partner’s

bed who liked her.
Mabel collapsed when she knew what had happened. But Brian promised he would treat her better if she continued to stay with him.
Things didn’t go as he expected. No woman could accept the man she loved to take advantage of her.
Not long after that matter, Mabel left him. He didn’t get any
news of her for decades.
Brian put his attention to his family. But when he was drunk, he would stay in the study and secretly watch Mabel’s photo.
He never regretted his decision. He would only feel sad when
he was drunk.
He had long known about Hayden and Freya’s relationship.
So he always felt that Hayden was the younger clone of him, who could do anything for benefit.
They were the most suitable for doing business.
Brian planned to hand over all the Gollust family’s business to Hayden after he married a suitable woman.
But he didn’t expect Hayden to back down at such a critical
Chapter 1048 A Man of No Scruples
period. How could he not be angry?
Hayden told Brian, “Dad, I don’t want to be like you to live the
rest of my life with regrets and pain.”
“Regret? Pain? I don’t have it!” Brian was furious, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Hayden said, “I saw the photo of the woman hidden in your study. My mom should have seen it too. We knew you would look at that photo in the study when you get drunk.”
Brian paused for a moment but quickly came to his senses. “That photo is just a symbol of the good memory of my youth. I just look at it occasionally. It doesn’t mean that I regret it.”
He didn’t regret how he treated Mabel back then. Otherwise, the rest of his life would have been a joke.
