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
Whether her identity as Denmark’s daughter was real or not, she couldn’t keep running away from Joshua just to escape the problem.“Are you ready?” Joshua asked, his eyes deep.“Mmm.” Hazel nodded her head firmly. She knew she had to face reality.After Joshua and Hazel cleaned up the kitchen and walked to the car. When they got in the car, Joshua took out his phone and turned it on. Hazel was shocked, she hadn’t figured out why nobody bothered them during their getaway.She looked at him with curiosity and said, “Did you turn your phone off?”“Yes,” Joshua said quietly and smirked. “Of course, since I was on the run with you, I didn’t want anything
Hazel’s face darkened. Even if she had guessed that the girls were targeting her, she could live with that, but it really pissed her off that they kept insulting her.It didn’t appear that they had any intention of shutting up. One of the girls took out her phone and pointed the camera at Hazel. She excitedly said, “Guys, quickly undress her, slap her across the face, and burn her with cigarettes! I haven’t photographed such an exciting scene in a long time. I will post the photos on Twitter!”“Do you hear that?” The girl taking the lead said arrogantly, “You had better obediently let us beat you up to vent our anger. If you make us fight with you, you’ll definitely suffer!”Hazel looked at them coldly. “Is it Mandy who asked you to come?”
Hazel really didn’t want to let the girls go, especially Kathie. If she let her off the hook without any consequences, Kathie would think that she was afraid and would definitely come after her again. However, even if she couldn’t really teach her a lesson, she also couldn’t let Mandy get what she wanted.“You guys are quite skilled at picking on people.” Hazel asked coldly, “You often bully students in school, don’t you?”“We, we just play with the classmates to enhance their fondness of us,” said Kathie, reluctant to admit her mistakes.“Play? Enhance fondness?” Hazel sneered.Kathie once caused a girl in their class to cut her wrist, she was trying to commit suicide. Although the girl was sa
Mandy clenched her teeth in anger. Hazel was actually smart enough to use this to force her to admit to her crime. She could not win, if she said yes, she would offend the Denmark family and the Anderson family at the same time. However, if she said no, she would certainly offend Kathie Anderson.Taking a deep breath, Mandy’s tone was full of innocence, “Hazel, I know you dislike me. But even if Kathie offends you, she is still a child. Can’t you be generous enough to let her go? Why do you use a child to accuse me of committing some unwarranted crimes…”“You heard it,” Hazel said, looking calmly at Kathie. “She’s unwilling to save you.”“Mandy, you bitch!” shouted Kathie, who was extremely irritated.
“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
