Katie went pale. Even though she was unwilling to admit it, at this point, she was well aware that the woman she had repeatedly offended was exactly Hazel Crowe.
Grandma Shawn reacted very quickly. She knew exactly what kind of consequence there would be if she offended Denmark Group, so as soon as Katie finished speaking, she slapped her across the face again.
“Asshole!” Grandma Shawn snapped. “How can you call Miss Denmark by her first name? Apologize immediately!”
Katie clenched her teeth, but Grandma Shawn’s slap has brought her to her senses. She knew clearly that she would end up with a very miserable ending if this incident went on.
Suddenly, Katie’s eyes flashed with venom. She was going to apologize to Hazel, but meanwhile, sh
Joshua and Hazel should naturally dance the opening dance of the party. When they finished, the audience heartily applauded. The two of them really looked like a perfect match. Even if they just stood together, they were a feast for the eyes.Hazel’s cheeks blushed slightly. Suddenly, she looked over the crowd and saw the Crowe family in the rest area.“My parents...” Hazel said in a low voice.“Let’s go,” Joshua whispered, holding her hand.She nodded. But before they could reach the rest area, suddenly, a woman stopped in front of them.“Miss Crowe, Master Joshua...” When the woman looked at Joshua, her eyes were full of wild enthusiasm.
“Cooperate?” Hanson looked at her sardonically. “Are you worthy?”Katie was so furious that she clenched her teeth. She had seen Hanson a few times before and knew who he was, but she was so ambitious that she only took a fancy to men like Joshua and Isaac, and she knew exactly what kind of guy Hanson was, so she had never had any contact with him.But since she met him now, a wonderful idea came to her.Maybe she could use Hanson to ruin Hazel’s reputation! No, not just Hazel, but her step sister Callie. Only by making them both completely unable to turn over could her hatred be eliminated!So she swallowed her anger and said ingratiatingly, “Your target is supposed to be Hazel Crowe, isn’t it? I can help you!”
Callie was on the phone; she looked like she was having a problem.When she looked up, she saw Hazel coming. She hesitated for a moment, then whispered something on the phone and quickly hung up.The next moment, she walked over to Hazel.“Miss Crowe...” Callie glanced hesitantly at Joshua, who was following Hazel.“You talk first,” Joshua whispered in Hazel’s ear. “I’ll get you a drink.”“Fine.” Hazel nodded. She could tell that Callie wanted to say something to her.After they sat down in the rest area, Hazel asked, “Miss Shawn, what do you want to talk to me about?”
Katie’s face was stiff.She had thought that Hazel would not blame her for her past as long as she made a casual apology. But according to the current situation... Hazel didn’t mean to forgive her at all!“Miss Crowe, aren’t you here to forgive me?” She bit her lip and asked.“Are you so important? Why do I have to forgive you?” Hazel looked at her, speechless. “It was because you said you wanted to apologize that I’m here. But who stipulates that as long as you apologize, I will definitely forgive you?”Katie was exasperated!It turned out that Hazel deliberately came to embarrass and humiliate her!“Do you think I
There was a scream of horror from Katie behind the door, followed by a strange noise, but soon the room quieted down.Hazel looked coldly at the closed door in front of her. How could she be unprepared for Katie? She didn’t believe Katie would be good and take her to Callie.She didn’t know what happened behind the door, but she knew that if she hadn’t been careful, she would have been locked in the room now.She would look for Callie, but she had other ways.Hazel took out her phone and was going to call Joshua, but before she dialed the number, she saw Joshua walking toward her.“Solved?” he asked lightly.She looked at him in surprise. “You k
“You think too much,” Joshua said quietly. “Katie has caused such big trouble that Callie’s identity is now their last life-saving straw. Grandma Shawn certainly won’t want anything bad to happen to Callie.”Hazel sighed a little sadly. She had thought that the Shawn family still cared about Callie, but she didn’t expect their care was for the benefit.Suddenly, her eyes turned cold, and she said in a deep tone, “I finally understand what Katie’s plan is.”Seeing Grandma Shawn’s actions, she connected the whole thing. Katie asked her to come over not because she wanted to apologize, of course. She just wanted to trick Hazel into entering that room.Callie was abducted, and Grandma Shawn had to find Callie
“Those guys were really hired by Katie Shawn?” Hazel looked thoughtful. “But they betrayed Katie that way... It’s because of you?”Hazel looked at Joshua curiously. It was Joshua, of course, who could make those people change their minds in such a short time.“Yes,” Joshua said calmly, “When I met them before, I taught them a little lesson.”Hazel was amused. What a little lesson? It was likely that those people had suffered a lot. But that was okay. Katie hired them to begin with. Even if Katie denied it in the future, no one would believe her.In the image, Director Bryant almost went crazy. He knew that his own son was good-for-nothing, but that was his biological son, after all. Now he was fucked in front of so ma
The conversation between Katie and Hanson was replayed verbatim at the banquet hall.All the people turned to look at Grandma Shawn. Katie’s constant calling Grandma Shawn ‘the old fool’ made it a great irony after Grandma Shawn had just praised Katie for her kindness and filial piety.“How could that be! This bitch!” Grandma Shawn went crazy and kept pulling at her gray hair.She always thought she was the supreme ruler of the Shawn family and all the fate of the Shawn family members was in her hands, but now she found out that she had been a joke and had been tricked by Katie! She had been used by Katie, her granddaughter, who was so compliant on the surface but, in fact, called her ‘old fool’ behind her back.The next moment,
“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
