“We’re the directors of Denmark Group. Why can’t we know about your affair?!” One of the directors shouted impetuously, “Even if you marry, you should hand Denmark Group over to us first!”
The room fell into an eerie silence.
This was almost what the directors had in mind, but they wanted the last bit of face, so no one would say these words with great confidence.
So they were a little embarrassed to hear someone speak it out.
“Cough, cough...” Director Wilson coughed and said with a little embarrassment, “Hazel, we didn’t mean any harm. Unfortunately, you are not experienced enough, so you are easily cheated by men. So even if you do have a crush on a man, you should bring him back to us. After all, your busine
“Yes, yes,” agreed Mrs. Wilson. “I’m afraid our son is not qualified...”“Cough, cough.” Director Wilson stopped Mrs. Wilson by giving her a good kick under the table. He just didn’t want his son to go to Country R, but he didn’t want to belittle his own son. If she said their son wasn’t excellent, how could they help their son get a job in Denmark Group in the future?“My son has just graduated. Although he is not qualified for the job in the branch office right now, if he can be trained, he will be very competent,” Director Wilson said.Mrs. Wilson nodded like a chicken pecking at rice instantly.“So Director Wilson is very confident in your son’s ability?” “Joshua asked fla
Joshua walked to the reporters with Hazel.He guarded her with his arms carefully for fear that someone might run into her by accident.The moment they saw him, the reporters, like the directors of Denmark Group, were silent. There was an eerie silence.Over the past few months, a number of reporters had learned about the turmoil at Denmark Group and Joshua’s death from the directors. It was just a pity that Hazel kept the news from revealing.Today, they finally received a message and perceived a hint of an unusual smell. They had thought Denmark Group’s directors wanted to fall out with Hazel, so they came, trying to make big news.But... they actually saw Joshua Denmark?!
Joshua frowned slightly. He looked at Hazel with a bit of confusion.The monitor was not bad, but also very capable. Moreover, she was willing to give him a chance to communicate with Joshua.Hazel looked at Joshua and calmly said, “I’ll go in first.”The monitor gave her a grateful look. She nodded at him, then pushed open the door of the private room where the reunion was held and calmly walked in.The monitor booked a luxury private room. After graduation, many students parted with one another. There were only 20 students present today, a few of them were from other classes.“Hazel, here!” Ariel waved at her. She was happy seeing Hazel join the celebration today. Recently, they rarely communic
She wore an indifferent expression. She didn’t think Karla would help her.Sure enough, Karla continued, “But then... I heard that the President of the Denmark Group suddenly disappeared. No one knows where he has gone. It’s said that he’s been gone for more than half a year. Oh, by the way, Hazel, why does it look like your baby is five months old?”Hazel’s eyes went cool. It had to be said that Karla was really capable now.Karla said just a few words, but she kept throwing mud at Hazel.Joshua was so nice to her but hardly had he handed over Denmark Group to Hazel when he disappeared. Joshua disappeared for more than six months, but she was only five months pregnant.Clearly, Karla meant
Of course, the reporters would never let go of this kind of big news, especially when it was about Joshua’s ‘resurrection.’ They would rush to release the news. Hazel knew the media’s movements were very quick. Although she and Joshua had sent the reporters away, there should be some news about them by now.After all, the news was allowed to be released by the media under Joshua’s instructions.Many students noticed Hazel’s confidence, so they took out their phones and secretly searched. Of course, soon, they found the news that Joshua and Hazel were interviewed together.“What news?” Karla froze. The news had just been released by the media, and of course, she hadn’t seen it.Besides, Karla had been speculating about
“What happened?” The monitor, whose name was David, looked dazed.“David,” Karla said sarcastically. “Hardly had Hazel said her husband came when you came in. Are you a couple now?”Hearing her words, David was taken aback instantly. “Karla Lee, don’t talk nonsense. How could I be Hazel’s husband?”“Hazel Crowe, what do you want to say now?” Karla looked back at Hazel with a confident face.But she did not notice all the other people were staring at the door in astonishment.After David entered the room, Joshua also came in. Many people had just seen Joshua’s picture on the news and recognized him at a glance. Even if they didn’t see his pictu
All the classmates understood instantly and looked at Karla with disgruntled expressions.“You, you…” Karla gritted her teeth angrily. She didn’t expect that there was no one in the room who wanted to help her!Thinking that she would be humiliated if she stayed here, she picked up her handbag with exasperation and swore, “Humph, what a ridiculous reunion! Do you think I want to come?”With that, she planned to leave directly.If nobody helped her, she would have to help herself. At least she wouldn’t have to slap herself if she ran away.“Stop,” Joshua spoke coldly.Karla stiffened.
After sending the message, she couldn’t resist frowning.Because of Simon’s warning, she had a vague feeling that the incident became a huge issue, or… that Joshua deliberately made it become a huge issue.She somehow felt that it didn’t seem so simple. Joshua used to keep a low profile, but now it seemed he wanted the whole world to know he was back and alive.Suddenly, another message came; Simon replied. She cast a glance at the screen. Just then, Joshua grabbed her phone before she could click open the message.“Is your phone more important than me?” He spoke of jealousy.She looked at him quietly with a twinkle in her eye. “Let’s go home.”
“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
