Hazel stood quietly and thought it was true. Indeed, if it was Joshua who showed up to save her, Mandy would have been alerted and would have chosen to continue playing a good and harmless assistant.
However, when Mandy saw it was James, she would seize the opportunity to harm her. No wonder James and Mandy made the appointment in the same place. It turned out that Joshua and James were prepared.
Hazel also realized that she hadn’t paid attention to James’s reminder. If Mandy was actually staying at the hotel, it was kind of suspicious, there was no sign of life at all. There were no clothes and daily necessities anywhere in the room, she couldn’t comprehend how she believed Mandy lived there.
They guessed the beginning, but they could not guess the ending. After they walked out the door of the hot
It turned out that Joshua had been looking at the photo for that reason. She couldn’t help but take out her phone and check the photo again.She and Mandy only resembled each other by 70-80%. But she was only 50-60% percent match with the photo. If Mandy did the surgery based on this photo, it was not impossible."But this kind of photo is just a prediction. It doesn't mean anything, right?" Hazel frowned.Joshua said, "If they started planning it from a very early age, what would they do? First, they made a photo that best matched the parents and then arranged the cosmetic surgery for Mandy based on the photo. When it was appropriate, they would introduce Mandy to everyone. However, perhaps they didn't expect that I would find you first, so they had to rush to send Mandy to your side."
Mandy's temperament was entirely different than before. The Mandy that worked with her was an easy target to bully, but now she was looking sharp from head to toe.While Hazel was watching Mandy indifferently, Mandy was looking at Hazel confrontationally. Fred led Mandy to the conference table and sat down. Just as things started to settle down, the door to the conference room opened again, and Sunny came in with Susan.Hazel was a little surprised. Why did they come?"Sunny also has some shares in the Denmark Family," Joshua whispered as if he had read Hazel’s mind.Hazel was amazed. But even if Sunny had no shares, she would have probably shown up anyway. Susan also saw Mandy, she snorted and then gave her a disgusted look.
Everyone suddenly started whispering again. Even if Hazel was still there, they couldn’t care very much.“We heard this plan was made by Hazel?”"Mandy was her assistant. We didn't hear about it before. The style of this plan is not like Hazel's."“So, Mandy came up with the idea, but Hazel used her position to grab the fruits of her labor?”"That has to be it. Do you see Hazel as someone who can come up with any good ideas? She grabbed the identity of others and grabbed the credit of others..."Listening to the opinions of the people, Hazel only felt speechless.She could tolerate Mandy fighting her to be the daughter of the Denmark family because ne
Mandy's face became pale.Her focus had always been on the coffee factory side, while the cooperation with the online drama concept were provided by Joshua-Hazel Pictures. The only one who would know the answer would be Hazel, she had to be trying to swindle her.Mandy sneered, "So, you know the answer?""So, you don't know?" Hazel smiled lightly and said calmly, "Since it is a collaboration with the online drama, the coffee types chosen should naturally fit the characters of the drama. While in this drama..."Hazel calmly stated her own idea, which was well-founded. The directors on the board nodded frequently. Even if they didn't watch that online drama, they all felt Hazel was very convincing.After listening to her
Susan hesitated for a moment before she finally said, “I did like Joshua.After all, I thought only I would be a perfect match for him. But he’s so fierce that I just hope that I won’t need to have anything to do with him again. And, by that, I mean, I wish you were the daughter of the Denmark family."“Is it good to be Denmark's family’s daughter?” Hazel’s eyes drooped, dispirited.Her parents were suddenly no longer her biological parents because of her newfound identity. Besides, she had been in danger several times; she had been plotted against by a large number of people. Worse still, it was very likely that she had no idea who her biological parents were. If she could choose, she wouldn’t be the long-lost daughter of Marcus and Cate.
“A little.” He smiled quietly. “Our father loved to go fishing.”“That’s good...” She looked confused. If the Denmark family’s daughter had not been stolen, there would not have been so many incidents. Whether she was the baby or not, at least her life would not be a mess.“Come here, let me teach you,” he whispered.She took the fishing rod from his hand just as huge raindrops began to fall.“It’s really going to rain!” She raised her head in disbelief.Summer rain always came down hard, and out of nowhere, they were completely soaked by the time they got back to the car.Looking at the overcast sky, Ha
“You, you, you... Why are you at my house?” The red-haired man almost dropped the bath basin as he stepped back out of fear.“What? This is our guest!” The woman in the distance shouted at him.Joshua frowned a little. It was still raining heavily, and if they left, Hazel would very likely catch a cold. It seemed he had a better deal with the man.The red-haired man stood still for a moment, he was unsure what to do but then it was as if a lightbulb went off in his head. He whispered joyfully, “You may stay in my house, but can you teach me a few of the techniques you used? They were so cool!”“You want to learn?” Joshua took the bath basin and said quietly, “All right, but I have to help my wife with a bath first, th
Her eyes were a little misty. She trembled slightly and kissed him on the lips as her reply to his remark.His eyes had a deep and distant look, he turned away from her kiss. Hazel was in a daze, Joshua had never done that before.“Hazel,” he said quietly as his fingers slid gently across her cheek. “Do you really not trust me?”“Huh?” She was nervous instantly.“No matter how you teased me before, you were just joking, not really because you always remembered our agreement with your parents, and you were determined not to cross the line. But you can’t wait now.”His eyes were a little sharp. “You are afraid that we may not have a bright future, so you de
“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
