Hazel was speechless, she didn’t expect that Hank would call a gang to come after them.
"Oh, what a nice girl she is!" The one called Brother Lee looked at Hazel with an obscene smile in his eyes.
Hazel shivered for a second as everyone around her and Joshua scattered, some of them appeared to be calling the police.
Joshua raised his eyebrows when he saw that Hazel was warming up her fingers, with a look of getting ready to fight, he jumped in front of her.
"What do you want?" Joshua asked faintly.
“Not so tough now, huh?” Hank said arrogantly. “It’s not impossible for you to walk awa
"No, your intentions are honorable, but it is not right." Joshua calmly interrupted. "Besides, I don't want you to come into contact with this kind of thing."Hazel was stunned, but her mother was a policewoman, so it would be better to get involved in such an occasion."Okay..." Hazel thought for a moment and said, "Joshua, if you can't deal with it, just call the police."Joshua was somewhat stunned, but he smiled softly. Hazel was worried about him, and she no longer cared about disclosing their relationship to her parents. However, her parents seemed to be very nice, and Joshua did not want to leave them with a bad impression, so he had to handle this situation carefully.
Joshua nodded, confirming that he did travel with the bodyguards, he did not like lying to Hazel, but he did not want to make her suspicious.After dinner, Joshua took Hazel back to her parents’ home. They stopped the car near Crowe's neighborhood so Hazel could walk the rest of the way, but as she was about to get out of the car, she saw Matt and his family leaving her house."Why are they here again?" Hazel could not help but frown."Maybe they came back to return the money," Joshua said lightly."If only that were true," Hazel said.
Chuck Foster and Kenny Jones nodded, agreeing with Isaac.Hazel blushed, and she hurriedly said, "Actually...""You just hit the jackpot! Isaac, what do you want from me?" Joshua grabbed Hazel's slender waist and gave her a gentle pinch.Hazel was speechless, and Joshua purposely wanted them to misunderstand."It's nothing," Kenny said truthfully. "We need a last player for the poker game."Hazel had no idea, she had thought that they were looking for Joshua regardin
Two women walked behind Hazel, one of them happily said, "Look, this is from my boyfriend!""Your boyfriend is so sweet," said the other.The first woman then said, "He was afraid I wouldn't accept it, so he picked what I liked..." As they walked into the bathroom, their voices gradually got quieter.Hazel looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly thought of something.It couldn't be...She was feeling embarrassed when she arrived back at the table and found the four men playing ca
"You will have the final say about gifts." Hazel felt dizzy, as long as she was with Joshua, she felt as if she could not think.Joshua smiled and kissed her on the lips."No... Let's hurry back. "Hazel said."No hurry." Joshua smiled, "What do you want to eat tonight?""Do you want to cook for me?" Hazel asked curiously."Well," Joshua nodded, "You didn’t like it?"
Vanessa saw the accident clearly through the window but did not the least bit surprised. However, her eyes were filled with horrible anger that quickly turned to disbelief.Several cars black cars abruptly appeared as the hit-and-run driver tried to escape, but the car was intercepted. People quickly got out of the black cars and ran to open the door of the Maybach.Soon, the driver of the Maybach was helped out of the car by the strangers. It was a disastrous accident, but thankfully he did not appear to be badly hurt, one of the strangers helped him into a car and drove away.How could this be?! Vanessa pressed her whole face, which was appallingly sneering, against the window!There was actually only the driver in the car without Joshua and Hazel. Judging from the sit
“Why don’t you go and talk with him first?” Hazel said.“No, let’s have dinner first.” Joshua’s voice softened a little.“Isn’t it good to keep him waiting?” she whispered. “What if there’s something urgent?”“Don’t worry, it isn’t urgent,” Joshua said calmly, “and he was willing to wait.”Hazel was hesitant to keep asking Joshua, knowing there were overtones in his words, she decided it was best to stop asking.After dinner, Joshua said to the servant, “Take Mr. Young to the study.”The servant left, and Joshua walked Hazel to her bedroom before heading to
Joshua had a share transfer contract ready for Garry to sign.Garry’s eyes twitched as he really regretted agreeing, he also regretted being too arrogant and neglecting the fact that Joshua would find out.He had no choice. Joshua was so well prepared that Garry would have to sign his name in multiple places in the document while Joshua stood over him, forcing him page by page.He originally came to plead with Joshua, but Joshua’s ruthlessness gave him a thorough understanding of his capabilities. Garry was certain that Joshua would send him to prison if he didn’t sign the papers.Trembling, he took the pen and began to sign the pages. After he was done signing, he felt as if he was in a complete state of helplessness.
“Joshua…” She called his name with somewhat impatience.We can’t let Simon go. She felt that something would happen if they let him go. It was very strange; she seemed to be on the verge of figuring out something important, but now she still could not figure it out.“Hazel, what are you thinking about?” Even on such a tense occasion, Simon was rarely amused by her. He couldn’t help speaking, “You actually expect Joshua to risk your life just to keep me? Joshua, will you do that?”“What do you think?” Joshua spoke coldly.The people around Simon were scattering, which was his answer.“That’s right!&rdq
“Even if you were to tell me, why did you insist on my coming to you?” she whispered. “Let’s wait until Joshua comes….”“It involves my mother, and I don’t want anyone to know about it, especially Joshua,” he said in a deep tone. “Hazel, I’m just trying to convince you one last time. Even if I lied to you before, do you suspect I’d hurt you?”Looking at his wounded face, she could not help freezing a little. Indeed, Simon had done some outrageous things before, but at least he had never intended to hurt her. She was really a little ruthless by being so wary of him.“Good.” she opened her mouth. “If you can’t convince me, stay.”His eyes flashed, and he finally nod
“Hazel, are you kidding me?!” He looked at her in shock. “They say a pregnant woman is always stupid. You’re not so stupid as to fall into this trap by yourself, are you?”“You’re stupid! Your whole family is stupid!” She was furious.“You are my sister-in-law, and my whole family includes you.” He pointed it out without mercy, but he scolded himself immediately after he had said this. He was really quite used to the identity of being Joshua’s younger brother. When he said these words, he was not thinking at all.Ignoring his words, Hazel said with a solemn expression, “For some reason, I think this is very weird. I didn’t mean only myself when I said I wanted to go with you. We’ll take all the men.
His words couldn’t comfort Hazel at all.She frowned. Ian Flores hated Joshua very much, so if Ian knew that Joshua was alive, Ian would make a desperate attempt to avenge himself on Joshua. What was more, Joshua deliberately wanted to be reunited with the Sloane family, which would make Ian have more hatred of Joshua.But Ian would only risk everything when he was very sure that he could win.Just as Ian used Stacy to threaten Joshua last time, even if Ian did go to Joshua this time, Ian would be fully prepared.Worse still... Hazel felt a little flustered for no reason. She had a feeling that things were not going so well this time somehow and that there was something they did not know.“Simon, we have to be car
“...” Simon was extremely angry with him. Finally, he snapped, gritting his teeth, “Whose side do you take?”Joshua’s eyes went dark. “I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself.”“What?” Simon looked at him with a puzzle.“Our plan failed last time because something went wrong because of you,” Joshua said, picking up the wine glass and playing with it gently. “That’s why things end up like this today.”In an instant, Simon looked a little gloomy. He had been kicking himself over it. Even if he knew Joshua was safe now, he would not say frankly that it was not his fault.“What exactly are you trying to say?” Simon said irritab
“Please go home, both of you,” Chester said apologetically. “Master Simon hasn’t been in a good mood lately….”“Besides, if he sees us, he’ll be more unhappy, won’t he?” Hazel looked at Joshua and couldn’t help speaking.Helplessly, Joshua pinched her hand. How could Hazel undermine Simon like that?“What?” Chester looked at her blankly.“Nothing, nothing.” She hurried to smile and played dumb.Joshua gave Chester a quiet look. “Did he ask you to come out and drive us away?”“... Yes,” Chester replied with resignation. In fact, Chester wasn’t straightforward. Ho
He had a good knowledge of Ted’s tricks, so he would never put Hazel in danger!Hazel distressed herself about this. After losing his memory, Joshua seemed to become stubborn. In this case, it would be even more difficult for her to convince him.She thought for a bit and finally said, “But you’re here. You’ll protect me, won’t you? Besides, I’m pregnant, and I’m sure he won’t be hard on me.”His face was still pale, and he insisted, “No. Even if he isn’t hard on you, he’ll certainly try to make us misunderstand each other and break us up.”“Then, do you have no confidence in our relationship?” She sat directly in his arms, with her arms putting around his neck, and asked seductivel
She tugged anxiously at his sleeve. Joshua knew what she was worried about. He opened his mouth silently. “Trust me.”In an instant, Hazel was relieved.It seemed that Joshua didn’t really plan to go to war with Ted. It should only be a means of negotiation.After figuring it out, Hazel quieted down.Joshua’s eyes were filled with tenderness. Hazel actually trusted him so deeply?Ted was so shocked that he couldn’t speak.When he learned that Joshua and Simon had conspired to kill him at Stacy Island, Ted had a sinking feeling; that was also why he faked his own death.But he did not expect things would be
It was Ted. Joshua’s face darkened instantly.But the next moment, he calmly answered, “Mr. King.”Hazel stiffened slightly.“I’ve considered what you said before,” Ted said in a deep tone. “If you can improve the relationship between Simon and me, and that woman is really pregnant with your child, I can accept… that child.”With a chill in his eyes, Joshua coolly said, “Mr. King, I didn’t expect you would daydream.”Ted was exasperated. “Joshua, this is what I can only do!”“Then we don’t need to have any further discussion on this matter,” Joshua said, his chill deepening. &ldq
