Chapter 172
Richard thought, Mr. Nevin Parker, who only knows how to enjoy himself, knows how to share the burden for Mr. Hayden
arker now?
Hayden looked back at Nevin for a moment, and finally gave instructions uneasily, “Richard, you stay here and help him.”
Yes. Richard nodded.
Well, he couldn’t leave anyway,
Nevin’s mouth twitched slightly, and after sending Hayden away, he couldn’t help but complain, “Why doesn’t Hayden believe me vet?”
Richard thought, “He is saying it so bluntly in front of me. Should I say that Nevin trusts Hayden too much, or that he is out of his mind?
“This ship is so big. Don’t we have to wait until tomorrow to finish unloading? Who was doing this job before?” Nevin turned back and walked towards the cargo hold, still muttering.
“Kurt Conway.” Richard blurted out.
Nevin suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at him. “The guy who used to manage the cruise ship?”
“Yes. Richard nodded, not shying away from the topic. “After Mrs. Parker arrived, he was very unconvinced and was fired by Mr. Hayden Parker”
The cruise ship is the Parker family’s property. Just because we let him manage it for a while, he really thought it belonged to him: Stupid!” Nevin cursed viciously.
He thought, Yvonne represents the Parker family, and when the owner takes back his own property, how dare an employee be unhappy?
As Nevin was talking, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the dark corner deep in the cargo hold
It sounded like something had fallen to the ground.
Nevin immediately stopped in his tracks and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound. “What was that?”
Richard temporarily forgot about Kurt at this time. He also heard the sound and quickly beckoned the bodyguards, “Go see what’s going on!”
“Yes, sir!” A few bodyguards gathered together in a group and slowly moved towards the corner.
The unknown always brought inexplicable fear, capable of holding one’s soul hostage.
The man at the front held his breath, for the darkness could conceal anything that might take his life.
As he approached the spot, he found no danger. Instead, he saw a man lying on the ground, covered in blood.
“Someone’s hurt!” The man in front shouted, his words effectively sounding the all–clear.
Nevin breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to see which poor soul had fainted in this corner.
As soon as he got closer, Nevin froze. “Ethan?”
It was 3 am when Hayden arrived at the Parker residence.
Xander Parker went to bed early.
Chapter 172
Layla Parker, on the other hand, was still sitting in the living room, her face ashen.
On the coffee table in front of her were two documents with the words “divorce agreement” written in large characters.
Tirs Parker, Mrs. Parker is back! the servant reported excitedly.
As soon as Layla looked up, she saw Hayden stride in.
At one glance, her eyes reddened and she rushed towards him.
“Hayden! I haven’t seen you for a few days. Why have you lost so much weight? And you look so haggard!” As Layla spoke, large teardrops streamed down her face.
As Layla spoke, large teardrops streamed down her face!
After all. Hayden was her son
She had only heard about what happened to Hayden from Nevin recently. She wasn’t this nervous before she saw him.
But now that she saw him end up like this, her heart almost broke!
“Mom. I’m fine.” Hayden lifted his lips and patted her back gently to comfort her.
“How can you be fine? That woman is a menace! Even in death, she’s still causing trouble and tormenting you!” Layla cried and cursed, her heart filled with hatred for Yvonne.
She had always had a bad impression of Yvonne.
Layla had watched Hayden grow up and knew that he was calm and composed.
But now, for Yvonne, he hadn’t eaten or drank properly for so many years, and his health was ruined.
While Layla was angry, she was also jealous that Yvonne could manipulate Hayden like this.
Hayden’s dark eyes instantly clouded with displeasure. Yvonne is my wife, not a menace.”
“Yvonne is my wife, not a menace.”
He corrected his mother, his voice a few degrees lower.
Layla froze and thought, ‘My own son is speaking to me in such a tone for that woman?”
A wave of grievance welled up inside her. “Yes, she is your wife,” she cried, “but she is not worthy! All these years, haven’t you disliked her! Are you going to disregard your own mother’s words for her now?”
Hayden pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling utterly drained. “Mom, it’s late. You should get some rest”
He felt that some things could never be explained to his parents.
The wound in his heart was still bleeding, and his mother’s words were like salt rubbed into it.
Seeing him like this, Layla sighed again. “One last thing! There are rumors going around that she committed suicide. Son, sign this divorce agreement now! I’ll find someone to imitate her handwriting. We’ll tell everyone that you divorced before going out to sea, that way her death will have nothing to do with you!”
Layla picked up the divorce agreement from the coffee table and placed it in front of Hayden.
The reason she had stayed up so late was to get Hayden to sign the divorce papers.
Only in this way would Yvonne’s disastrous aftermath have nothing to do with them.
If the death of Yvonne were to spread, it would also affect Hayden’s reputation.

Chapter 172
Layla felt that this was standard procedure. For example, Yosef was afraid of losing face and didn’t even hold a funeral for his
ayden looked down at the agreement in front of him, the last trace of exhaustion in his eyes disappearing completely.
“I won’t sign it.” he spat out the four words coldly and raised his hand to tear the agreement to shreds.
The sound filled the entire living room.
Layla was stunned for a moment and then rushed forward to grab it. “What are you doing? If you don’t divorce her now, what will you do when reporters ask you about it in the future? It will spread that your wife committed suicide! What’s there to miss. about a woman like that?
“Even if you like Joanna, I will agree to it! Just stop thinking about Yvonne!”
In Layla’s opinion, although Joanna was not worthy of Hayden, she was better than a dead person.
When Joanna’s name came up, the look in Hayden’s eyes grew colder.
“Joanna and I have nothing to do with each other. Don’t ever mention that woman again!” Hayden said, each word laced with a bone–chilling coldness.
Layla’s eyes widened in shock.
Even though Hayden was her son, sometimes she was afraid of the murderous aura around him.
“But weren’t you two…” Layla stopped mid–sentence, instantly sensing the growing murderous intent in Hayden’s eyes.
She wisely shut her mouth.
But she couldn’t possibly let it go. She asked again, “Then what are you going to do? Are you not planning on getting married any time soon?”
Hayden’s eyelids drooped slightly, revealing a hint of loneliness, “I will never marry again.”
“What?” Layla’s eyes widened, and she stood rooted to the spot.
