Chapter 231 Transfer of Property
The woman he loved most, hidden deep in his heart, the woman he once wanted to cherish for a lifetime, had been beaten like that.
Hayden's heart ached immediately. He used the Brown family's power to help her get a divorce.
When she had nowhere to go, he bought a property for her and visited from time to time.
They had separated due to a misunderstanding, so they quickly rekindled their old flame.
All these years, Seraphine had quietly been his mistress, never once complaining.
This made Hayden feel even more for her.
Isabella was also Seraphine's daughter.
More precisely, she was his and Seraphine's daughter.
Hayden walked in with Seraphine, planning to negotiate with the police and ask them to make an exception.
But he didn't expect the police to show him no respect at all.
"Mr. Brown, we're really sorry, but we still have some things to verify with Ms. Brown, so it's not convenient for you to see her right now."
Hayden was instantly furious. "What do you mean not convenient? I'm Isabella's father! Why can't I see my own daughter?"
The two officers standing before Hayden exchanged glances, then explained: "We've received new evidence, so we need Ms. Brown to cooperate with the investigation."
Seraphine snapped coldly: "What kind of stupid rule is that? Do you know who we are? I suggest you let Isabella go right now! Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" The officer's face darkened immediately, asking coldly.
Seraphine had spoken without thinking. Hearing the officer's words, she suddenly realized what she'd done.
Her eyes instantly reddened as she looked at Hayden for help. "Hayden..."
"Stop talking." Hayden hadn't expected Seraphine to say something so arrogant.
This was a police station - did she even know what she was saying?
He used to think Seraphine was gentle and refined, but he didn't expect her to be so impulsive.
Seraphine knew she'd said the wrong thing and quietly shut her mouth.
Hayden calmly looked away and nodded slightly at the officer. "I'm really sorry, Sir. We're just too worried about our daughter. Please make an exception and let us see her."
The young officer looked at him and said: "Not right now. If you don't mind, you can wait over there."
Hayden's face looked terrible, but he still took Seraphine to sit down.
After waiting for about half an hour, Hayden was getting impatient and was about to leave when several people suddenly walked out.
"Sawyer? Flynn? What are you doing here?" Hayden stood up abruptly, a flash of guilt in his eyes.
He instinctively stepped in front of Seraphine, trying to block their view.
But it was too late - Sawyer and Flynn had already seen Seraphine.
"Dad, why are you at the police station? Are you here to see Isabella? What a coincidence, so are we."
Flynn's gaze fell coldly on Seraphine, his eyes narrowing with scrutiny.
Sawyer didn't speak, but his eyes were also fixed on Seraphine.
Seraphine felt uncomfortable under their stares, her eyes flickering involuntarily.
"This is Sawyer and Flynn, I've heard so much about you..."
Halfway through her sentence, Sawyer suddenly spoke up: "Who are you? I don't remember my dad mentioning you."
Seraphine hadn't expected Sawyer to go off script.
That one short question caught her completely off guard.
She glanced at Hayden and saw his face had turned dark, anger flashing in his eyes.
"Sawyer, Flynn, don't be rude. Let me introduce you - this is Seraphine."
Sawyer laughed lightly and asked back: "Did I say something wrong? You really haven't mentioned Seraphine to us before."
Anyone could hear his dislike for Seraphine.
Hayden had met his father's work associates before, but this Seraphine...
For some reason, seeing Seraphine gave him a strange feeling. Her face seemed somehow familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
Hayden was stumped by Sawyer's words and didn't know what to say.
Sawyer suddenly laughed to himself and turned to look at Seraphine. "Seraphine, my dad came to the police station to see his daughter. What about you? I don't remember my father having a female secretary."
"I, I'm your father's friend. I came with your father to see Isabella." Seraphine's smile stiffened for a moment.
But fortunately, she wasn't someone inexperienced. She quickly adjusted her emotions to make her answer seem more seamless.
Sawyer lowered his eyes and nodded slightly, then left with Flynn.
"Dad, if there's nothing else, I'll be going. Oh, and Isabella really messed up big time this time. It won't be easy to get her out."
Isabella had offended Benjamin.
Given Benjamin's vengeful nature, he definitely wouldn't let Isabella off easily.
And this time Isabella went after Sophia. Given how much Benjamin valued Sophia, he absolutely wouldn't let this go.
But whatever revenge Benjamin took, Sawyer wouldn't stop him anymore.
Not taking action himself was already doing Isabella a favor.
Watching Sawyer and Flynn's retreating figures, Hayden's face darkened, lost in thought.
Seraphine tugged at Hayden's sleeve. "Honey, why do I feel like your son really doesn't like me?"
Seraphine had always called Hayden this in private and didn't notice anything wrong this time either.
But Hayden's expression changed drastically. He shook off Seraphine's hand and looked around warily. "What are you calling me? We're in public! If someone hears, my reputation will be ruined."
Seraphine realized her mistake, her face turning pale. "I'm sorry... Mr. Brown, I know I was wrong. Please don't be angry! I'm just used to calling you that."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened again, full of grievance.
"You know me - I don't want anything from you. I just hope our daughter can grow up healthy and safe... But ever since that Sophia was brought back, how much has our Isabella suffered? If you don't feel bad for Isabella, I do as her mother."
Her complaints kept echoing in his ears. Hayden felt annoyed and snapped: "Enough, stop talking. I know you've suffered all these years. Just wait a bit longer. Once I handle everything and transfer the assets, our family of three will be together."
When saying this, Hayden deliberately lowered his voice. After all, this was a police station - he didn't dare be too bold.
