But what he said gave her the impression that he did not care about the Flores family. Or, had Joshua guessed something was going on, so he was deliberately trying to appease her?
Joshua frowned slightly, and he looked at her thoughtfully. "Hazel, is there something happening? You have been acting really strange lately..."
"What would be happening?" Hazel smiled and panicked. "I have just been so busy recently, and the pressure is getting to me. Let’s discuss the plan!”
"...good." Joshua's eyes deepened, and he closely watched Hazel’s eyes for a sign of what was happening, but there was nothing.
Joshua looked at the plan and gave Hazel his opinions, she carefully wrote them down.
“In a few days,
Hazel lifted her eyebrows, she recognized this man. It was Stanley Commercial’s boss, Jacob Stanley.She heard that Stanley Commercial had some serious issues, the company’s affairs were overwhelming him, he had his own personal affairs, and his wife was also causing problems.If Hazel stood back from the situation for a moment, it seemed that Jacob Stanley was deliberately targeted at her. Like Joshua, she liked to act in a low-profile way, so she was not particularly eye-catching at this celebration party.Jacob Stanley actually stopped her in a crowd of so many people; there was nothing coincidental about it. It appeared that he wanted to cause a scene.He shouted louder. "I think I like this woman a lot! You got into this kind of party just cause you want
Hazel frowned. She did not expect that just as she was about to prove her innocence, something else would happen. However, something else was Jacob’s wife, Jacqueline Ross.Jacob counted on his wife and would never question her, but he was very flirtatious, so she often caused trouble for him regardless of the occasion.When he saw Jacqueline walk in and she was angry, Jacob was so scared that he quickly released Hazel.“Jacqueline, this is a misunderstanding, a total misunderstanding…”"Misunderstanding?" Jacqueline caught Jacob and pulled him by his hair.She was annoyed. "Jacob, do you really think that I don't know what you are? What misunderstanding, you just met the woman? Is that it? Which woma
Jacob was still fighting with Jacqueline and panicked when he saw that the security guards were coming after them.If he left like this, he would definitely offend Joshua, making it more difficult for him in the future."Sir Denmark, it is my fault," Jacob struggled to push the security guard. He shouted, "I shouldn't flirt with your assistant. I shouldn’t have tried to blame her! Miss Crowe, I apologize to you, it's me who was confused..."Joshua acted like he did not hear anything, he calmly talked to Hazel.Jacob and Jacqueline were pulled out of the banquet hall by security, she was still trying to hit him. Jacob was getting more annoyed and slapped Jacqueline a few times."You have created enough trouble! You even
"No wonder." Hazel nodded abruptly, and she frowned."But Susan was quite honest before, was she irritated by me today, so she became evil again?""On the surface, she was honest, but it does not mean that it is true." Joshua’s eyes deepened a little bit."Was she planning something all along?” Hazel said, "No, she is not smart enough to plot a conspiracy. Why doesn't she learn her lesson?""What she did is not important. What is important is what the person behind her wants to do." Joshua said in a deep voice."The person behind, who?" Hazel asked strangely. "Is Susan working with someone else?""Maybe." Joshua smiled shallowly. "You don't have to worry about it, I ju
"Are there three people making trouble? It is a family, right?" Hazel asked."No," Sharon replied, but she did not give Hazel a chance to say anything more. She continued, "It’s a couple, they look over 50 years old, pretty... shameless. Listen…"Sharon held the phone toward the commotion, Hazel vaguely heard the sound of Caroline’s voice. Her temples began to pound even harder.It was them, and then Hazel realized that was probably what Theresa wanted to tell her, but because Joshua was there, Theresa could not say it straight out. Hazel brushed her off, thinking that Flores' family was putting more pressure on Theresa, so she would, in turn, put more pressure on Hazel.Hazel was feeling extremely regretful. She reached out and rubbed her temples.
The Flores family first harassed the orphanage and now harassed Hazel, Joshua lost all of his patience with them.He sighed. "After saving them, think of ways to force them to leave, and then you make sure it happens.""But..." Jaxson said, but he thought about it. In the end, he still said, "How do you think that someone in the Flores family found Miss Crowe?""Of course, strange." Joshua was stunned. "But if the Flores family was to leave, the person behind it all could still be around?"Although he was not clear about what happened between the Flores family and Hazel, for the time being, he would not begin to speculate who was behind the situation. But if the Flores family wanted to go, the people behind the scenes lost an excellent weapon and would have to find a way
Hazel went to Theresa’s room to apologize for not finding the time to speak with her when she asked. However, knowing that Hazel felt bad, Theresa was more embarrassed than her.Theresa heard that Lanny and Caroline were arrested and taken to the police station. She was not angry at all but felt that she had brought a lot of trouble on Hazel.The two of them had barely been talking for a minute when Theresa’s cell phone rang. It was an old phone that Henry gave her to use so that they could contact her. She was mortified to leave Hazel waiting in her room while she ran to the balcony to answer it.Hazel waited patiently in the room, but she was surprised to hear that Theresa sounded angry and anxious as she argued with the person on the other end. Hazel frowned, she had got along with Theresa but knew ve
Hazel’s nose hurt, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Joshua’s waist. His arms were always so warm and reassuring.Joshua looked a little stunned. He gently embraced Hazel and whispered, "Hazel, what happened?"She suddenly returned to her thoughts. If she told Joshua, would she be able to make him misunderstand that she was wronged? She took a deep breath, looked up, and made a face at him. "I just want to hug you."Joshua lifted his eyebrows. If he was right, Hazel was distraught. But she was pretending that everything was okay, which made him even more worried."I will let go!" Hazel let go of him and prepared to go back to the room.Joshua suddenly caught her wrist. "Hazel, are you going to run
“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
