Joshua’s eyes twinkled slightly. “I don’t think Hazel was found this time because that man discovered my existence.”
Grandpa Sloane knew that the man in his mouth was Ted King. For both of them, this was a person they didn’t want to mention. But Joshua’s words made him even more confused.
Joshua gave Grandpa Sloane a quiet look. Grandpa Sloane was able to tell him the past truthfully. In return, he wouldn’t hide the incident from Grandpa Sloane.
He briefly told him about the incident.
Grandpa Sloane’s face paled a little. “I heard that after leaving Country Z, the man married a woman in the organization and had a child to consolidate his power in the organization….”
“Are you tired? Why did you come back so early today?” Hazel smiled and pinched his palm gently.“I went out to do something. Don’t worry, I’m not tired,” he vaguely explained.Harry and Rachel were also in the living room. Joshua and Hazel went to sit down on the sofa opposite them.Looking at the two of them, who were so intimate, Harry and Rachel felt very comfortable as they looked at Joshua. After all, they had both seen Joshua’s devotion to Hazel with their own eyes. They were not heartless, so they had fully accepted Joshua.“You’re back?” Rachel asked.“Yes, Mom.” Joshua smiled a little. He knew how to be attentive.
Joshua’s mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners, amused.When this little girl comforted him, she always used this kind of tone playing the woman, but he liked it.He knew clearly that Hazel was not “interrogating” him but wanted to help him.However, he didn’t want to tell Hazel about the organization because it was so tricky that he hadn’t even figured out how to deal with it yet. Now that the organization had known his existence, they would definitely often pester him in the future. Telling Hazel about it would only frighten her.Even if he told Hazel, it must be after he had solved the problem thoroughly.Now, however, he seemed to be able to tell Hazel something that would make her hap
After seeing off Harry and Rachel, Joshua and Hazel found the nursing home where Stacy was living now, according to the address.The location of the nursing home was a little remote, but its environment and safety were impeccable.Hazel had doubts in the heart. She could understand the Sloane family wanted Stacy to get treatment, and they were concerned about Stacy’s safety. But judging from the current situation, it seemed they got a little too nervous about Stacy’s safety. It looked as if… they were on guard against something.Hazel got out of the car, holding a beautiful doll in her arms.Joshua furrowed slightly. He asked with doubts. “Are you sure it can work?”Before he arrived, he thought
Now he wasn’t even eligible to go to the ward to accompany Stacy.Joshua’s heart ached somehow at the thought of Stacy’s crazy look when she saw him last time.He knew that it was not him who drove Stacy crazy, but his face was similar to Ted’s.How deep could the hatred and despair be that it made Stacy appear so ferocious?Taking a deep breath, Joshua suppressed the roiling anger in his heart.He looked into the ward in which Hazel was watching a movie with Stacy.Because Stacy had been sick for more than twenty years, Hazel’s movies were released when Stacy was young. Hazel had asked Grandpa Sloane about Stacy’s preferences, so she chose some
Joshua emitted a cold chill. Sure enough, that man could be cold-blooded to this point?Katherine, who seemed to think of something irritating, said with righteous indignation, “He even lied to Stacy that he wanted to marry her, and then he would clean up the organization, stop engaging in shady businesses, and let their son live in the sun...“But after your mother gave birth to you, he changed his mind and even allowed other women to frame your mother as a spy in the organization. She even wanted to arrest me and threaten me to vilify your mother.“When your mother found it out, she tried to let me go. I had to run away from the organization so that I wouldn’t incriminate her! And then, when I recovered, I learned that your mother had been kicked out of the organization by Ted, and that you
Stacy’s eyes, which had been empty, seemed to flash with light!But the light seemed to be worry and nervous...Hazel didn’t know whether the change was good or bad. Now what she could do was turn off the TV as soon as possible. After silently keeping the incident in mind, Hazel intended to go to tell the doctors about it so that they could judge it before she left.Picking up the remote control, Hazel turned off the TV. She never took her eyes away from Stacy. Without the baby’s crying, Stacy’s expression seemed to relax a lot.Hazel opened her mouth, “Mom, it’s fine outside now. Let me take you outside for a walk?”Joshua couldn’t get close to Stacy. Nonetheless, Hazel felt sh
“No,” Joshua said with a very quiet expression. “It is because of your own efforts.”“Are you here to piss me off?” The smile on Simon’s lips was intense, but his eyes were terribly cold. “My dear… brother?”Joshua’s face darkened. He looked at Simon indifferently. “Master King, you’d better stop this trick. It’s too disgusting.”Simon shrugged indifferently. Indeed, even if they were blood relatives, he would not recognize Joshua as his brother. Neither would Joshua.Although he wanted to use ‘brother’ to disgust Joshua, it, in fact, terribly disgusted him. But judging from Joshua’s reaction now, he must have known his identity.
Joshua looked at Simon as if he were an idiot. “Would you be so useless?”Simon was exasperated.“Are you not confident in winning the organization?” Joshua asked trenchantly.Simon paled a little, but he understood what Joshua meant.He cooperated with Joshua. Eventually, he wanted the organization while Joshua wanted Ted. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to take over the organization and turn it into his own with the fastest speed, then even if Ted or Joshua wanted to fight back, they would not have the opportunity anymore.Risks always accompanied opportunities. He was not interested in the organization, but he knew better than taking it away from Ted would make him very uncomfortable.
“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
