"Simon was taken away by his men," Joshua said. He was trying to use General Martin and his team to kill Simon, but the latest update was that they did not catch him.
Joshua was very aware of the situation, it was clear that General Martin did not want to anger him. After all, catching him or killing him would only make things worse.
Once the two sides became engaged in combat, they would be complete enemies. Soon, Simon’s army should be defeated by the local forces, and even if Simon were that powerful, it would not be easy against a national force.
There was also a selfish motive, Joshua wanted to teach him a lesson because he wanted to do something to Hazel. She was the person he treasured more than anyone, and if someone wanted to approach her, she must go through him first.
"However, no matter how different she may be, she is with Joshua Denmark." Chester Hill advised, "Young master, because of Joshua, both the illegal and legal forces in Country F are encircling us. Let's just leave Country F soon, or we will really get caught.""You are saying that I can't compare it to Joshua?" Simon's smile was frozen."I, I..." There was sweat trickling down Chester's forehead, and he hurried to say, "I just said that it would be very difficult to take his woman.""You are quite right." Simon said, "It is tough to rescue my sweetheart out of this protection. But... we can persuade her.""Persuade?" Chester was a little worried. It was the first time he saw Simon paying so much attention to a woman.Simon pi
Hazel began to get worried when Joshua was gone for a long period of time. She took out her phone, debating on if she should call him or not, when a bodyguard rushed in and yelled, “Miss Crowe, it’s not good!”She suddenly dropped her phone and quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”“It was a trap!” the bodyguard said anxiously, “The president was ambushed on the road!”"What?" Hazel asked in a panic. "What about Joshua? How is he?"“The president only sent back a message for us to get you out of Country F, as according to the original plan. After that, we lost contact with them.” He said and lowered his head.Hazel looked annoyed. "Do you mean I am supposed to l
Simon approached Hazel slowly, and he took the gun from Hazel's hand. She tried to hold on to it, but there was nothing she could do. She let go of it and put her head down."Let's go, sweetheart." Simon reached out to touch her, but Hazel pushed him away in disgust."I can walk by myself," Hazel said coldly.Simon snorted, and without hesitation, he grabbed her arm, then picked her up in his arms."You...!" Hazel glared at him, "Let me down!""Hey, be smart. If you struggle like this, you may cause my body to react involuntarily." Simon's eyes looked like they were burning with desire.Hazel stopped struggling. She saw that he could not hide his desire for her a
Simon looked at Hazel strangely. She sat there looking indifferently, but he could see the sarcasm. No matter how much he planned, she was always able to surprise him.Even though he was severely germaphobic, and when he saw her messily painted face, he still thought that she was inexplicably beautiful."Okay, you won." Simon raised his lips again. "But sweetheart, I seem to be loving you more and more. I think I will never let you go now!"Hazel pursed her lips to keep herself from saying anything more. In the face of Simon’s repeated threats, compromise would not work to solve the problem. From her experiences with Simon, she believed it would only encourage him more. If she really wanted to save the servants’ lives, she had to convince Simon that she did not care about them at all.
When Hazel heard what Simon said, she bit her lip. She thought that the attackers were looking for Joshua and never suspected that their target was her. She wished she would have thought of it soon, and then things would have been different.Simon approached her and reached out to lift her chin. However, when he looked at Hazel’s painted face, he frowned and pulled his hand back."Sweetheart, I tell you all this because I want you to understand, I am better than Joshua. If you have been expecting him to save you, you can forget it.”Simon looked at her in a condescending manner. "I don't mind the past between you and Joshua. However, since you are with me now, please forget him. You have two choices now, be with me happily, or be with me reluctantly. You are smart. I believe you know the best choic
If something happened to Hazel on the deck, he didn’t want to deal with the consequences. After all, he worked for Simon for many years, and Hazel was the first woman he paid so much attention to."Do you think I will jump into the sea?" Hazel looked at him with a hostile expression. She picked up the knife she had to cut her streak and swung it around, “If I really wanted to kill myself, I could use this knife right now. Why would I jump into the sea?”Chester’s eyes widened as he finally understood why Simon was so concerned about Hazel. The women who were usually around Simon were always obedient, and Hazel was not only rebellious, but she was also very calculating. Chester had no idea how to deal with her."Without permission from the young master, I can't let you go to the de
"We can't blame our young master.” Chester swiftly explained, "Our organization was originally strong in Country Z. However, more than 20 years ago, Country Z sent undercover agents to the organization, and we were surrounded from both inside and outside. The organization had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from Country Z. However, we will go back sooner or later."Hazel quietly let out a sigh of relief. Simon's forces had no foundation in Country Z, which was good news for her. If she could return home with Joshua, she wouldn’t have to worry about Simon anymore.No matter how versatile and powerful Simon may have been, he would not prosper in Country Z for a while. It was good to have confirmation, though."So, there was really an undercover agent in your organization." Hazel felt a little funny.
Hazel looked at the ear stud in her hand. She really couldn't believe that she was at sea on a ship and somehow Joshua still managed to contact her.She wondered if it was a trap that was put in place by Simon, but she had to give it a try. Hazel went to the bathroom, turned on the sink tap, and let the water run. She sat on the toilet and put the stud on to replace the one she lost.There was a chance that her room had a camera or a bug, so she had no option but to hide in the bathroom. The woman had indicated that the jewel on the earring moved, Hazel pressed it and waited.Suddenly, she heard something. “Hazel?” a familiar voice said.It was Joshua, Hazel put her hands to her mouth, and everything suddenly got blurry.
“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
