“I’m worried,” Joshua could not deny it, and he simply said, “So, you have to be well prepared, and you can’t let them bully you.”
She looked at him in shock. Was she listening correctly?
Joshua, who had always protected her and kept her as far away from disputes as he could, was going to throw her into the center of the whirlpool and asked her to be well-prepared.
“You’ve met most of the directors and have a general knowledge of them, so you don’t have to be too nervous.” As if guessing what she was thinking, he said with a straight face, “Hazel, you’ll meet with the Denmark Group directors sooner or later. It's better to meet sooner than later.”
She was deep in thought as Joshua’s reaso
But the child had not been conceived, let alone born, whose interests would that affect? Hazel suddenly had a thought, that was why James Howard doubted Joshua. No matter how she looked at it, the biggest beneficiary would be him."Nanny Carter, who knew they were going to have a child?" Hazel asked."There were a lot of people who knew they were talking about it." Nanny Carter recalled. “They first discussed the situation with the young master. Master Denmark fully supported them to have another child. Later, many friends and relatives and directors also knew about it..."Hazel couldn't help but frown. Some so many people knew about the possibility of another child, she couldn’t think of anyone who would hate a child enough to stop it from even being conceived.
"I..." Susan couldn't speak. She looked at Sunny nervously, as if she didn't know what to do."Hazel is right," Sunny said. "I have spoiled you too much. And that's why you have done something unruly!""I, I was wrong..." Susan lowered her head and kept wiping tears."What's the use of you confessing that to me?" Sunny raised her eyebrows.Susan cried and walked over to Hazel. She apologized to Hazel and said, "Hazel, I really know I was wrong. I am willing to quit the entertainment business as a consequence of my actions..."Hazel frowned slightly. She wondered what they were thinking, were they playing good cop and bad cop, wanting her to stop pursuing the matter?Hazel knew how
“Sorry, Aunt Sunny.” Hazel apologized, “I just want to know more about my parents, not to wonder about anything.”It was not a lie. Although she had some doubts about Sunny, she wanted to know the truth about the past more importantly.Sunny smiled."It's really a shame, and I didn't get to see them." Hazel said sadly, "I heard a lot of people said that they were very good people. I am really lucky to be their child. Unfortunately, just because they were good people doesn’t mean they had an easy life.”"Yeah..." Sunny sighed."I also heard that they wanted another child." Hazel sighed, "If my father hadn’t had that accident, I would not only be able to say they were my parents, but I
The ladies had all taken their daughters to the Denmark Residence with plans of their own, but they were just horrified and how Hazel was acting. They knew that Hazel was claiming to be the long-lost daughter of the Denmark’s, but how could they admit her identity without proof.In their opinion, the Denmark Group belonged to Joshua, and even if Hazel’s identity was proven, she couldn’t take away Denmark's Family's property from Joshua. Denmark Group's financial strength and Joshua's ability were what they wanted, except Hazel suddenly showed up and intended to collect the profits, they could not accept it.They wanted Hazel to see that the door of a giant family was not easy to enter. After all, she was just a little girl. Could she manage to take all the sharp jabs from their mouths?"Mom, don't
Hazel was shocked at what the Robinson family was capable of. Mrs. Robinson hurriedly said, "Hazel... No, Miss Crowe, we are wrong. We just lost our minds. We should not have offended you. Please, mercy! Let us go...""Right, right, it’s all my mother’s fault." Her daughter also echoed, "You just need to punish my mother and don't drag my entire family into this!"Hazel looked at them indifferently, and she said to Nanny Carter calmly, "Please send them away."At this time, she couldn’t be soft. If she went soft, then the gestures she made would be in vain.Nanny Carter took Denmark Residence's bodyguards and asked them to leave immediately. Mrs. Robinson and her daughter were still apologizing on their way out, but it appeared as if Hazel didn't even h
Standing in front of them, Rachel saw that Joshua was just given Hazel a massage, and she was stunned."Mom, what are you thinking about?" Hazel said quietly. She probably guessed what Rachel had misunderstood."The way you groan is really slutty. Do you know that?" Rachel said with a poker face.Hazel snorted. Her mom was right."We set the Three Rules, remember? Why don't you trust the two of us?" Hazel was somewhat helpless. "Even if you don't trust us, you watch us all day, we really have no chance to do anything!""...You made your point!" Rachel turned and left.Joshua whispered, "You aren’t chasing her to explain?”"
Sophia initially thought that Hazel would say that she had a good relationship with Joshua and make her leave. Hazel actually asked her what she liked? Sophia did not know how to answer for a few moments.But she was prepared to talk, after all, so she quickly looked normal and said, "I usually read books on economics and management. I like playing the piano and playing chess in my spare time... ...""I asked what you like." Hazel said with a shallow smile, "That is just what you usually do, but do you really like them?"Sophia was stunned.These were the things that her family made her do. No one ever asked her if she liked it or not, and she had not really thought about it before since she knew that they only liked her when she fulfilled their requirements.
Many people gloated while watching the Carter family's fall from grace, but some wise people clearly saw that Hazel was not an easy target.With only one meeting and a few words, Sophia was utterly changed to another person. Could Hazel be a simple woman? Some were hesitant, but more of them were rallying.For a time, Hazel had so many "friends" that she was getting a headache. However, she knew that if she wanted to force the directors to face her directly, she had to defeat these women strikingly.The woman closest to Hazel was a woman named Patty Hamilton. She had contacted Hazel several times, and she was even more difficult to deal with than Sophia. She was playing a different angle though, she wanted to be best friends with Hazel, but she clearly knew what Patty was plotting. However, Hazel ran out of methods,
“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
