“I wouldn’t mind taking care of you if I need to,” Hazel said helplessly. “But don’t try to change the subject… By the way, did Aunt Sunny... change her opinion?”
Joshua looked into Hazel’s sad eyes, he gently touched her cheek.
“Sunny Joseph has never changed sides,” he said, his eyes a little deeper. “She has always been on Mandy’s side, pretending to be neutral. After all, it would be more convincing if a neutral character defected.”
He lowered his head and quietly said, “If it was not for me accidentally rescuing Mandy and giving them the wrong idea, she would not have come to me so quickly. She assumed that I had changed my attitude towards Mandy, so she took the opportunity to approach me.”
Everyone in the room looked at Sunny. At this point, her opinion undoubtedly played a critical role.Sunny hesitated, she was concerned about Joshua and how the situation favoring Mandy would affect him. She could see that the directors were all on Mandy’s side and complained about Joshua.Mandy and Fred had the lucky necklace as evidence, and as long as Sunny confirmed that it was authentic, Mandy would have to be accepted as Denmark's daughter. Joshua would have no way to deny it, regardless of how much he protested.The situation seemed all too perfect, it made Sunny feel uneasy. After all, Joshua, and even though she did not see him often, it was always clear to her that he was even harder to deal with than his mentor and father, Marcus Denmark.After taking a
"That is ridiculous!" Fred's face was red, he pointed at Joshua and shouted, “You still want to use some ludicrous reason to smear Mandy and her identity! She has evidence and complete information. She even looks so much like Cate. Why do you keep saying she is not the daughter of the Denmark family!?”Mandy bit her lip tightly, she never expected that Joshua would react like he was. Her eyes were red, and she said, “Hazel, I don’t want to take Denmark Group from you. I just wanted to find my parents. But, how can you do this? Even if it is for the money, how could you lie and take it from Joshua? This is everything that my parents worked on in their entire life. Do you have no conscience?”The meeting room was loud and chaotic, some people were whispering while others were yelling. After all, the directors believed that Mandy was
"So," Joshua's glare became sharper, "Director Cohen admits that he knew Mandy and has been in contact with her for a long period of time?”"I..." Fred slumped down in his chair.The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Even with the photo, the directors were suspicious of Joshua’s story. They found it hard to believe that Fred could hide that well for twenty years, just to get Denmark’s property. No matter what others were thinking, Fred knew that he had to admit to himself that people were conflicted and that he may not win.Hazel looked at Joshua quietly. It turned out that he had been investigating all along. The details and the secrets from the past all required a lot of effort, and when Joshua was doing his best to protect her, she had doubted him. She suddenly felt remorseful.
Everyone felt a little overwhelmed with everything that was mentioned. After seeing that Joshua could find so much hidden information and make Mandy confess immediately, they realized exactly how powerful Joshua was.Although they were unsure why Mandy would have done such senseless things, they could understand that Joshua had evidence, so Mandy confessed because she was worried.Since Joshua claimed that there was more evidence, it was naturally assumed that it was authentic."After the kidnappers took the child, they handed her to one of their younger brothers and asked him to kill her and then toss the body. The brother could not go through with the killing though, he didn’t think that she would survive since she was so weak at the time and just threw her on the side of the road.” Joshua calmly state
"After all, Susan would probably enjoy money more than an old house she doesn't like very much." Hazel continued.Sunny hesitated for a second, and she smiled indifferently, "You are right, I will discuss with Susan and let you know as soon as possible. Goodbye for now.”After she left, Joshua said, "You still won’t give up?"Hazel did not really want the old house of Joseph's Family. She just needed an excuse to get close to Joseph's house again."Well," Hazel nodded hard and said, "Joshua, maybe it doesn't make sense, but... I just think there's something I need to find in Joseph Residence.""Okay," Joshua nodded, "But when you go, make sure to bring Crystal White with you."
Hazel watched as Joshua took her cell phone and put the unknown number that Simon called on the blocked list.“Hazel, do you think that I’m doing too much?” Joshua looked at her innocently, “Would you like to call him to explain?”"Explain what..." Hazel looked at him angrily.Joshua twitched his lips."Joshua," Hazel stretched out her arms and suddenly caught his neck.“Hmmm?” He chuckled, “Hazel, do you want to try in the office...?”Hazel felt that the mood was suddenly gone. She said very quietly, “You mean, in front of the flowers that were sent by Simon?”"I sent t
The rumor was that Joshua-Hazel Pictures was naturally founded by Joshua and Hazel and that it was Hazel’s private company. They also said that she was making a lot of money with the company.Of course, Denmark Group would not admit to any of the rumors, but it was still well known at Quantum University. The campus form had posts that speculated on Hazel’s identity, and a lot of students started to regret how they had treated Hazel.Hazel read the forum occasionally, so she was aware of the rumors. She was famous at school, and if she and Joshua appeared together, they would definitely attract a lot of attention."Okay," Joshua smiled, "Then I will wait for you to finish the defense and then pick you up.""Perfect!" Hazel nodded quickly. She shut the car door
She knew she had to find a way to stop them from fighting, or else everyone would think that they were fighting over her. With that in mind, Hazel rushed past Crystal and jumped in between Joshua and Simon.In the blink of an eye, they stopped fighting and grabbed Hazel’s wrist.With each of them holding a wrist, Hazel wanted to crawl under a rock and never show her face again. She had just wanted to stop the fight, but they were holding on to her, she could feel their strength increase and knew that they would pull in different directions."If either of you dares to pull me in one direction or the other, I will hate him forever!” Hazel gritted.The two men saw more and more onlookers around them and understood the situation.
“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
