Hazel arrogantly walked out of the men's room, but when the door shut, Hazel felt beaten. Her beautiful face was full of anger and frustration.
Hazel clenched her fists as she had never come across such a big loss before!
She went there to rescue her roommate, but her first kiss had been stolen. She had to play a small trick to get out of the situation and use a few threats which could prove nothing.
Hazel really wanted to head back inside and beat Joshua, but...she was no match for him in terms of power!
Hazel was still very aware of the situation. She had to swallow the less-than-perfect victory. All in all, Summer was fine.
Hazel hurried out of the bar to see Ariel holding the drunken Summer on the nearby corner.
"Hazel! Here!" Ariel yelled.
Hazel walked over, and she let out a sigh of relief, "You guys are still here?"
"I was worried about you." Ariel added, "Are you ok?"
The overbearing and sudden kiss of the man instantly popped into her head. Hazel's fingers shook with fury.
"...I'm fine," Hazel said in an unhappy tone.
What had happened had already happened. Nothing would change even if Ariel knew about it, so she decided to keep it to herself.
"That's good." Ariel relaxed. Suddenly, her eyes fell on Hazel's hands. She asked with curiosity, "Hazel, why are you holding a belt? What happened? Whose belt is that?"
Hazel was embarrassed.
Her mind was in chaos, and she was still holding on to the belt!
"Nobody's." Hazel quickly placed the belt on the roof of a nearby Maybach. She quickly ran over to hold Summer in her arms and diverted the topic, "Go ahead, I will explain it to you later."
Ariel looked at her suspiciously, but she didn't push the topic.
Joshua was still in the men's room, hiding in a stall. His face was pale.
He was never treated like that before. That cunning girl took advantage of him.
"Mr. President,” Jaxson Hunk knocked on the door of the stall and said, "I've procured a new suit for you." Joshua opened the door and took the pants from Jaxson.
Jaxson was waiting outside in a bit of surprise. Joshua actually sent him to buy pants for him, so what happened to his original pants?
Jaxson could not refrain from imagination. In a place like a bar, especially in the washroom...Was the President having an affair with a blonde and meet in this place?
Joshua had always been very self-disciplined, and there was no scandal around him. Jaxson had always been very curious about what kind of woman could catch Joshua’s eye.
After changing clothes, Joshua came out with a gloomy face, "This is a top-secret! You never saw me in this place!"
Joshua had never felt so ashamed.
"Aye, sir," Jaxson answered immediately.
Joshua was a little annoyed as he was walking to his car.
Just after Joshua opened the car door, Jaxson suddenly said, "Mr. President, there seems to be something on your roof."
Joshua frowned for a second.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank. He quickly took the thing off the car roof.
It was his belt...placed on the roof.
Joshua twitched his lips.
Today he lost a game to that sly girl. He didn't intend to pursue the situation. After all, it was a misunderstanding.
But that sneaky little thing put his belt on his car, was she deliberately provoking him?
"Jaxson, " Joshua said with a mild tone, “Go find out who put that thing on top of my car."
"Aye, sir." Jaxson was a little confused but agreed.

Back in the dormitory, Hazel didn't sleep well. She was awakened by the noise in the dormitory early in the morning that day.
"Ariel, help me sign up!"
"Why don't you do that yourself?"
"I have a headache. "
"Look at that! Who went out and got drunk! Now you know what a headache feels like? Remember that you are still a senior student with graduation ahead! Next time, don't expect Hazel and I to go pick you up..."
"What's going on?" Hazel grabbed her pillow and threw it, "Don’t you guys know I’m still sleeping?"
Ariel was sitting at the table playing on her computer. She snorted and picked up the pillow from the floor, "Hazel, don't forget it was me who signed you up!"
"Signed me up for what?" Hazel got up from her bed and stumbled to go to the bathroom.
Ariel looked at her in an odd way and looked back at the computer screen, "You don't know? It's been very hot lately! We are signing up for my Prince Charming, who is now seeking a surrogate mother for his children. You don't thank me!"
Hazel was stunned first and snapped out of it instantly.
She hurriedly rushed to Ariel's side, grabbed the mouse, and said, "Oh my goodness, you signed me up for that? Count me out, please!"
"Just relax!" Ariel reached out her hand and patted Hazel's back, "You are just a follower in the background. I am the drama queen!"
"Let Summer go with you! I want no part of this!" Hazel said reluctantly.
"Summer is now officially my love rival!" Ariel said seriously, "I shall show no mercy upon my rival even when she is my roommate!"
"Since when have you two become rivals?" Hazel was confused.
"Summer also wants to sign up! Whoever wants to steal my Prince Charming from me is my rival!" Ariel grit her teeth.
Seeing Hazel's incomprehensible look, Ariel said, "Oh my Hazel, you have no idea what I'm talking about?" Hazel shook her head.
"It's this preliminary selection for the surrogate mother!" Ariel pointed at the computer screen with a horny look, "This time, it's Joshua, President, and CEO of Denmark Family Group, who is sending the invite for the selection! He is rich, low-profiled, handsome, and no scandal around him,"
"You think he was handsome before you even met him?" Hazel said silently, "Maybe he is old and ugly!"
Hazel heard the name of Joshua Denmark before. The Denmark Family Group was not low-key, but Joshua rarely appeared in front of the media, so few people knew what he looked like.
However, almost everyone who had seen him praised everything about him, including his looks. So, in the eyes of his fans, such as Ariel, Joshua had gradually become a very beautiful legend.
But the fact that such a low-key person actually held such a high-profile activity to choose a surrogate mother for his children surprised Hazel.
"My Prince Charming is by no means old and ugly!" Ariel argued.
"...I don't care. Just help me cancel the registration right away." Hazel was somewhat irritated.
"Hazel, let's forget about how Joshua looks like. He's really generous!" Ariel proudly praised him, "Whoever participates in the preliminary selection only has to get a few photographs taken. Whether she got selected or not, she could receive a grand from Denmark Family Group! Think twice before you cancel something like that!"
"Photographs?" Hazel frowned."Of course! Otherwise, how can my Prince Charming know what his candidates look like?""Can we just provide our photos?""Do you have any idea about technology these days? Photos provided by participants can be altered! Relax, my Prince Charming isn’t going to do anything with photos shot by his staff."Hazel still did not show any interest in it. She quickly shook her head and said, "I’d rather not. What if I got selected...""Hazel, you are such a bold girl. You are just one step away from my list of rivals!" Ariel stared at her with a stunned look, "Do you know how many people have signed up for this preliminary selection? It is said that there are nearly 100,000 people! One out of
Joshua opened a drawer in his study and took out a thick book.After flipping through a few pages, he stopped, his eyes were fixed on a photo hidden in the book pages. Looking at the photo silently, Joshua was somewhat depressed."Is she...still alive?"The door of the study suddenly came pushed open. Joshua closed the book and looked up, displeased.When he clearly saw the intruder, Joshua said with some reluctance, "Isaac Anderson, when will you learn to knock before opening the door?""OK." Isaac's hands were shoved in his pockets. His amorous eyes were half-shut. He said with a cynical smile, "When you have a girlfriend, I will learn to knock."Regardless of his ridicule, Josh
Ariel woke up at four in the morning and managed to drag Hazel out of bed too. They had to leave early to go to the Transcendence Plaza.The interviews were being held in a large local photo studio. Outside the door, there were already many employees trying to arrange the interviews in an orderly manner."Do I need to participate?" Hazel frowned, thinking of her vulnerability."Hey Hazel, come on, you don’t quit anything!" Ariel persuaded her, "With you here, I feel more assured.""I can still be on your side even if I don't participate!" Hazel was struggling."Stop that already!" Ariel pulled her body and said, "Alone, I will have an odd of one in 100,000. With you, our chance is one in 50,000!"
Derek had chased after Hazel for a while, but she didn’t want anything to do with him. However, Derek told everyone that Hazel was his girlfriend, making up a convincing story.Hazel clarified several times, but Derek was very mischievous. More and more people believed they were together and thought Hazel was lying.Hazel was mad at Derek. One day she took Derek directly into a groove...and beat the hell out of him!Since then, Derek did not dare say anything about Hazel. She thought things were settled.But, after Derek and Kyla got together, she told others Derek dumped Hazel and chose her.For a long time after that, everyone looked at Hazel with sympathy, as if they were looking at an abandoned woman.
The entire studio grew instantly quiet, as this was the first time they encountered this type of incident.Hazel was feeling so embarrassed. Her mind went blank. How could this be?Suddenly, a figure rushed onto the stage, took off his coat, and put it around her.Hazel gratefully looked up but saw a man in front of her staring at her chest, and... this person looked familiar.Her face turned red immediately. She still didn’t realize that this gentleman, who just helped her out, was the same pervert she met the other day!Hazel quickly closed the coat to cover her chest.Joshua was a little disappointed. He reached out to Hazel's chest and said, "Let go of your hands, I have
"No." He shook his head and said, "I really am...""Yes! Yes! Yes! You are Joshua The Almighty!" Hazel said impatiently, "What are you worried about, Master Joshua? With your supernatural power and resources, you will find me even if I ran away, right?"Joshua went silent.He spent too much time finding her and evading the eyes of others. He would not let Hazel go when he finally saw her.Although he already knew who he was seeking now and he had her detailed information, Joshua wanted to clarify the misunderstanding between them quickly.After taking a deep breath, Joshua began to complain, "You did not recognize me, and yet you still followed a stranger?"This little girl had so
As a pungent smell rushed towards his face, Jaxson screamed.The next moment, Ariel grabbed the coat from Jaxson's hands and put it directly on his head!Ariel could not have been any ruder. She attacked Jaxson with a storm of punches and said, "You degenerate son of bitch! That's what you get when you piss off a lady!"Jaxson couldn't open his eyes at all, and his throat was burning. He could only try hard to dodge the punches from Ariel."Hazel!" Ariel yelled.Hazel rushed out of the corner of the corridor.Hazel knew Joshua would definitely be alerted if she came by herself, so she asked Ariel to deliver the coat.In fact, Hazel did
Suddenly, Hazel looked at Summer questionably."What? Is there something on my face?" Summer touched her cheek."Summer, do you remember what happened in the bar that day?" Hazel asked."I cannot remember clearly. I drank too much that day." Summer frowned.‘When Ariel and I got to the bar, we heard you were taken to the men's room by a few guys, but I just saw one guy when I got in there. Do you remember that?"Summer thought for a moment and said, "Oh, yes. There was one guy who ran those little hooligans away from the men's room. Now when I think of it, that man who saved me was a handsome guy."Hazel was stunned by the horny look on Summer’s face.
“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
