“Barry, what did Joshua ask you to do?” Ted asked in a deep voice.
“Master Joshua asked me to investigate Miss Crowe.” Barry hurried to reply, “I’ve just finished investigating Miss Crowe, and I am going to send the related documents to Master Joshua.”
“Don’t send,” Ted said, looking very pale. “Hide it so that Joshua can’t see them!”
Barry froze. He had read the related documents. If he was right, Joshua and Hazel should be married, but according to Ted’s remark… Was Ted not going to recognize Hazel as his daughter-in-law?
He followed Joshua now, but he had always been Ted’s men. Despite some reluctance in his heart, he agreed.

Fearing something entirely unforeseen might happen, he urged, “Get in first.”She got into the car in a daze, but she found something was wrong.“What’s going on?” she asked again, frowning.“Hazel, who took you away last night?” He asked.“It should be Joshua, I think...” she replied blankly as her heart was still somewhat uncertain.Joshua abducted her for no reason yesterday, but today he sent her back for no reason?Simon’s heart sank, and he ignored Hazel’s “should.” The thought that Joshua actually traded Hazel for Madeline made Simon extremely outraged.
After that, Madeline really sent some pictures to Hazel’s phone.In the pictures, Joshua was lying on a bed, shirtless, with a burly physique familiar to Hazel. In some pictures, his eyes were slightly closed, while in others, they were open but seemed empty.Hazel looked at the pictures coldly.Simon tried to say something, but when he saw Hazel’s face, he whispered, “Pretty good figure….”“Do you see these pictures?” Madeline said triumphantly, “You know Joshua’s temper. If he didn’t agree, was I able to take the pictures of him?”“These pictures can’t prove anything,” Hazel said coolly. “You said you took care of him when he was hurt
“This...” Barry hesitated for a moment before finally speaking frankly, “I traded Miss Crowe for Miss Carter according to your father’s order...”“What?” Joshua grabbed him by the collar, his inky eyes full of killing intent.“Joshua…” Madeline rushed at Joshua with tears on her face. “I’m really scared. I was caught by Simon King yesterday. He asked his men to torture me for a whole night…”“Get lost!” Joshua gave a loud shout coldly.Before she could even touch Joshua, Madeline was so scared by his cold shout that she stood still.Joshua coldly let go of Barry. His heart was filled with uncontrollable anger now.
Madeline looked at Joshua with a wounded face as if she had been bullied.However, Joshua didn’t even cast a glance at her. His deep eyes were fixed on Hazel.“Do you want her?” he asked.If Hazel did ask him for Madeline, he would definitely hand her over without hesitation.“Why do I want her? Do I want to court death?” Hazel rolled her eyes without hesitation. She was pregnant now. How could she allow a woman who wanted to make her have a miscarriage?“Then who do you want?” Joshua was a little surprised.“You!” Without hesitation, Hazel pointed at him. “I want you!”
“Joshua Denmark!” she swore at him, clenching her teeth. “How can you play dumb? You are my husband, and we have been married for nearly half a year! Didn’t you want me to get a divorce? Now I agree! Let’s go, let’s get a divorce now!”“Wait,” he spoke, confused. “Hazel, isn’t your husband, Simon? Also, my name is Sloane, not Denmark.”“You... What the hell are you talking about?” She froze. She looked at Joshua in disbelief. Why couldn’t she understand his words?“Hazel, I think there’s been a misunderstanding between us,” he said seriously. “I have to tell you something. I was once shot in the head. When I woke up, I forgot what had happened.”Jos
“Is that what Madeline said?” His face suddenly became extremely ugly.She thought for a while before she finally took out her phone and played the recording.Even if Madeline did take care of Joshua and Joshua had a different feeling for her, Hazel would not allow such a vicious woman to accompany him.Listening to the recording on the phone, Joshua’s cold face was covered with strong killing intent. How dare Madeline call Hazel and drive a wedge between them?He put up with Madeline’s behavior for Ted’s sake, but she actually wanted Hazel to have a miscarriage. He would never let this woman off!“Actually,” Hazel hesitated, and then finally said something against her will, “ev
Hazel almost threw the phone out!Even Madeline was able to reach Hazel on her phone, so it wasn’t surprising that Ted knew Hazel’s number.Having said that, Hazel had never expected Ted to call her. Hazel could still feel that Ted disliked her. No, “dislike” sounded too polite. “Detest” was more proper.Otherwise, Ted wouldn’t have spirited Joshua away and made Joshua and her separated for so long. Now Joshua returned to Country Z, Ted actually dispatched a woman like Madeline to stay by Joshua’s side.Because of all that Ted had done, Hazel didn’t like him, either.Taking a deep breath, Hazel was neither humble nor arrogant, “Hello, this is Hazel Crowe.”
His eyes became dark. He suddenly sat down and gently tucked her hair behind her ears.“Hazel, are you worried about me?” he whispered.“Yes.” Hazel sobbed as she leaned against his chest.She was reunited with Joshua with difficulty. Even if he completely forgot everything, it would be OK as long as it was him. She was really scared. What should she do if she woke up one day and found it was all just a dream?Patting her quivering shoulders, Joshua mused, “Alright, don’t worry. I won’t adopt a very aggressive method unless it’s necessary.”Although Hazel told him a lot last night, she understated the Sloane family and his falling off the cliff.
“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
