"You can also confirm with Isaac regarding this." Joshua's eyes fell on the last photo.
His eyes went dark, "In this photo, Hazel was out with schoolmates. This is her tutor's car."
Joshua looked at the reporters and, with a serious tone, quickly replied, "Hazel is a very good, simple, and traditional girl. She would not participate in any sexual activity for money.”
In Denmark Residence, Hazel got an unexpected message on her phone. She got the news from her roommate that Joshua was hosting a live press conference.
Hazel opened the live channel app. She did not expect that Joshua would clarify the situation for her first. She looked at Joshua on her cell phone. He was so handsome and courteous.
The reporters were stunn
The Denmark Group would be affected by this public opinion storm. Hazel closed the browser on her phone and put it down beside her. Her mind had become a mess of thoughts.This was not right.Did she misunderstand Joshua? As the so-called "shady deal" in the surrogacy competition was disclosed, Denmark Group and Joshua were affected.Was he even willing to put Denmark Group and himself at risk just for her to stay?That did not make sense.Hazel didn't feel that she was that irresistible, and Joshua could not be that stupid.Then what's wrong?Hazel picked up her cell phone and scrolled through her contacts, stopping at Joshua.
Hazel smiled at Jaxson and turned back without any words.Maybe it would be better if she and Joshua just let go of each other. Without answering Jaxson, Hazel went into the dormitory.The public opinion on the Internet quickly calmed down, and like Hazel was completely forgotten and never discussed again.Hazel knew clearly Joshua must have intervened.He said that he hoped the media would stop bothering Hazel and not talk about it anymore during his press conference.There was still some negative discussion about her on the campus forum. It was about Hazel ruining the reputation of a girl. Hazel knew that this must be Kyla making her look bad, but she didn't care that much.But
"What is the solution?" The Student Union president hurriedly asked.Karla gave him a wink, and the two of them went to the empty classroom next door."President," Karla whispered. "Let's invite Joshua for the Celebrity Lecture on the weekend..."“Hazel is not willing to help.” The Student Union president frowned, “Karla, can you make it happen?”"President, you don't understand what I meant." Karla sneered, "I mean, no matter whether Hazel agrees or disagrees, we all declare that Hazel promised to help us to invite Joshua. More importantly, it is best to let everyone on campus know about this event!"The president of the Student Union looked at her curiously, "You mean, let's release the news first, a
The Celebrity Lecture was about to begin, but Joshua had not arrived yet. The people waiting in the auditorium were restless and chattering about whether or not he would show up.“We won’t be fooled, will we?”“Yeah, Joshua said he would not pester Hazel anymore. How could he possibly accept her invitation?”“It seems to me that Hazel was dumped and wanted to seize the chance to gain back some popularity!”“Very likely it was because Joshua was embarrassed by Hazel that he would say so to the reporters. In fact, it’s Hazel who’s been pestering Joshua.”***Their voices grew louder and louder as their r
He smiled lightly. It was good enough as long as Hazel was willing to talk to him.“You didn’t?” he asked.“There are too many people,” she said. “I watched the live stream video.”“There was a Livestream video?” He was surprised.“Yes.” She nodded. “A classmate offered to show it on a Livestream website for whoever couldn’t squeeze into the auditorium.”He nodded his head. Looking at the small shops on both sides, he asked calmly, “What would you like to eat?”“Chicken wings, French fries, blueberry sundae.” She pointed to the end of the food street. “They're in the s
“Let’s go.” He smiled and pulled her hand.He took her to his car and opened the door.“Where?” she asked blankly.“There must be a blueberry sundae somewhere,” he answered.“Okay!” She happily got in the car. When she saw Jaxson in the driver’s seat, she felt a little embarrassed.Joshua also got in, and when he saw her well-behaved appearance, he could not help but smile.Her flirting was only for him, which made him really happy.The car arrived at Denmark Residence, and Hazel got out in astonishment.“Why did you bring me
This is the reason she said no?He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that he was too anxious to feel anything.Nanny Carter held a glass of honey water coming over. She couldn’t help complaining, “How can you allow Miss Crowe to drink, Mr.Denmark?”“I was careless.” He was sensible enough to admit his mistake and reached for the honey water.He put it close to Hazel’s mouth, whispering, “Be good, have some honey water.”“I won’t!” She frowned and shook her head hard, refusing to drink it.“Be good, drink it, and you’ll feel better,&
“A human pillow that can tuck you in. Is it comfortable to hold, huh?” he asked, his eyes flashing with amusement.Hazel could roughly guess what had happened, and she was extremely ashamed.Looking at her blush cheeks, Joshua suddenly spoke, “Hazel.”“Huh?” She looked at him blankly.“Let’s be together,” he said seriously.Now that she felt she didn’t like him enough to get married, they could start with a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.She just felt her heartbeat quickening.Although she only confessed she liked him when she was drunk, she did like him deep down her
“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
