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.
Simon didn’t seem to care that she felt sick. He never mentioned it as they walked to the dining room together.The dining room was prepared for breakfast. As Hazel sat down, a servant gave her a box of medicine."What is this?" She asked in surprise."Pills for seasickness," Simon said.Hazel raised her eyebrows. Although she hadn’t spent a lot of time with Simon, she felt that he was a person with a huge ego. Yet, he actually prepared a seasick medicine for her?"Sweetheart, are you touched?" Simon smiled smugly, "I don't mind if you pay me back with your body."Hazel's face was red with frustration. He immediately turned the good impression she had around.
Hazel's words seemed to have encouraged Simon. He immediately commanded his men, "Turn, go to the island!"A servant took the snacks to them. Hazel reached for the greasy food with greedy eyes. Simon frowned and then let her go. "You are like a little girl who really knows how to destroy the beautiful scenery.""This is just who I am, and you will have to get used to it," Hazel said while hiding her smile. And then she looked at the people behind them and said, "I think you should make your men stay farther away. They are really destroying the beautiful scenery."Chester was hesitant and wanted to say something. Simon waved and said, "You stand farther away.""But..." Chester looked at Hazel with worry. He couldn't figure out what she was up to.
Simon was caught off guard by Joshua using the flash bomb. He quickly closed his eyes, but it was still too bright. He felt a pain in his lower abdomen and then something cold against his head. He didn’t have to have his open to know that it was a muzzle.Simon wanted to grab the gun but suddenly heard Hazel's hurried voice, "Joshua, don't!"Joshua paused for a second and then put his gun away as he walked toward Hazel."Let's go." Joshua hugged her waist very naturally and helped her onto the ladder of the helicopter.Joshua’s men on the ship jumped back to their own ships, and the helicopter flew away with Joshua and Hazel.Simon closed his eyes in time, but the flash bomb made him temporarily blind. He blinked
"Dear wife, it’s not good to give up halfway. You can finish your examination for me." He smiled, touched Hazel’s hand then let her continue taking his clothes off.Hazel was already embarrassed enough, but then someone knocked on the door. She wanted to crawl under a rock and hide. She pushed Joshua away and said, “Get dressed! Someone is looking for you.”Joshua sighed with disappointment as he got dressed. He smiled at Hazel as he walked out the door.He was not gone for very long. As soon as he walked through the door, Hazel curiously asked, “What happened?”"They caught some hostages, but Simon was not among them." Joshua said, "He escaped.""Escaped?" Hazel was somewhat surprised. She
After making small talk about their graduation thesis defense, Hazel said, “Ariel, I was out of the country for a few days. I don’t know what has been happening here at home. Was there anything in the news recently? Tell me about it?”"Nothing can happen when you go away for just a few days," Ariel said, sighing. She seemed to think of something suddenly and then said, "Wait! Yes, there seemed to be something related to Sir Denmark.""What was it?" Hazel suddenly became worried and asked quickly.Ariel replied, "Give me a minute! I will search for the news and read it to you."After she listened to Ariel reading the news, Hazel felt numb. It turned out that when she and Joshua were in Country F, Fred went to the orphanage where Mandy grew up and found e
Hazel hesitated but decided to answer the call.“Hazel, where have you been?” Susan said irritably.“Gone to nurture my relationship with Joshua,” Hazel replied without emotion."You really don't have a sense of crisis," Susan was anxious. "Don't you know what has happened?""I just found out." Hazel lowered her eyes."You are not anxious?" Susan's voice sounded worried.“What is the point of being anxious? I don’t have a necklace to prove my identity,” Hazel was worried before, but Susan’s attitude made her feel a little odd. “More importantly, why are you more anxious than me?”
Hazel’s eyes flashed, was she thinking too much? Did it turn out that Sunny only asked her out because she would marry Joshua?Sunny saw her thoughtful look and unexpectedly asked, “Do you have problems with Joshua?”Hazel was stunned. There may be problems, but it was because of her. She knew that she should trust Joshua more, but Mandy’s existence would always make her lack confidence.Sunny glanced at her as if she had guessed what she was thinking and said, "I lived abroad, and I am not close to Joshua. However, when I talked to my sister, she would always praise him very lovingly without reservation. He was grateful, and the fact he still looked for their daughter, so many years after their death, I have a more intuitive understanding of ho
The light in Hazel’s eyes darkened. It seemed that everyone thought Joshua was with her only because of her identity. She took a deep breath and calmly took out her phone.“I am willing to gamble. Why don’t I call Joshua and see if he will help me or if he will let you go?”Joan’s facial expression suddenly changed. "You wouldn’t dare?""Why wouldn’t I?" Hazel smiled slightly. "If I win, then your family will go bankrupt. If I lose, I have lost my dignity. That is something I can live with; I don’t see a reason not to call.”Joan's face suddenly became pale. Even if she wanted to bully Hazel, she knew that Hazel was telling the truth. She wouldn’t lose anything, but it would still benefit Mandy. However, if Joan
“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
