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.

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!

Even if you want to impersonate her, you should put in some effort to make yourself look more like her, okay?” Lisa’s age is no secret in the industry, for it was F&M Apparel’s president who revealed that himself. And yet, this idiot before me is passing herself off as Lisa without even knowing about that. “Queenie’s right all along; you’re a vain woman who makes up lies
