Derek had chased after Hazel for a while, but she didn’t want anything to do with him. However, Derek told everyone that Hazel was his girlfriend, making up a convincing story.
Hazel clarified several times, but Derek was very mischievous. More and more people believed they were together and thought Hazel was lying.
Hazel was mad at Derek. One day she took Derek directly into a groove...and beat the hell out of him!
Since then, Derek did not dare say anything about Hazel. She thought things were settled.
But, after Derek and Kyla got together, she told others Derek dumped Hazel and chose her.
For a long time after that, everyone looked at Hazel with sympathy, as if they were looking at an abandoned woman.
Hazel had no idea why they had to make things up. She could not bear it!
But Kyla was a girl, after all. It wasn’t fun if people saw two girls fighting with each other. And Kyla would probably escalate her lie to a new level.
So, Hazel took Derek and Kyla into the grove on campus...and in front of Kyla, she beat the hell out of Derek for a second time.
Hazel could still remember the horrified look on Kyla’s face that day, which explained why she usually detoured whenever she saw Hazel later.
With the manifestation of Hazel's power, the two of them stopped their gossip. But the rumors had already spread. Hazel could not get everyone to see past it.
"Forget it, just don't mention them." Hazel sighed.
Ariel nodded again and again. They walked into the washroom together.
Joshua walked out from the corner of the corridor with his hand on his forehead.
There was really something strange between that badass girl and him.
Joshua did not come here today for Hazel. He just had some business to deal with. But would they actually meet again?
Just let it be...Joshua twitched his lips.
After walking out of the washroom, Hazel and Ariel went to the lockers to get their dresses.
The dresses were the same style of low-cut dress that Kyla was wearing, making them look and feel awkward.
After all, Ariel had just commented on Kyla's dress a little while ago.
"What did you say just now?" Hazel was speechless.
Ariel diverted the subject and said, "My Prince Charming is so brilliant. He knows to use the same style of dress to test who the real beauty is!"
"Maybe you should watch your language." Hazel smiled, "You just said Kyla looks like a slutty bitch in that dress, and now we have to put on the same dress."
"She is slutty in any dress, but you, my Hazel, are always a goddess." Ariel giggled.
The two of them put on the dresses which came in the same size. Hazel sensed some discomfort on the upper part of her dress.
"Wow, look at that big nevus on your chest!" Ariel said, "It looks like a piece of crimson plum. Is that a tattoo?"
Hazel hurriedly covered her chest and said, "It's a birthmark!"
"Oh. That is rare, but why are you covering it?" Ariel smiled, "You said you don't want to be selected. And now, my Prince Charming will probably ignore you because of that birthmark, huh?"
Hazel let go of her hands and revealed her chest.
Ariel curiously watched Hazel's chest and said with some surprise, "That birthmark is really special. It's probably unique."
The birthmark on Hazel's chest was a beautiful five-petal plum with four petals placed on top and one petal at the bottom. The shape was unique.
"I don't know if it's a unique one. I think there will be anyone who bears the same birthmark, right?" Hazel said.
Ariel nodded and agreed, "But it is very convenient for you to have such a birthmark. Even if you are being trafficked, your parents will find you easily."
"You are the one who will be trafficked!" Hazel argued. "I'm my parents' daughter. Thank you very much!"
"Relax, just kidding." Ariel made a face.
After they were ready, they waited outside the studio together.
Ariel’s turn for her interview was soon. She wasn’t long in the room, when she came out, Hazel was still trying to adjust her dress.
"Don't pull it on no more. You are not a stripper!" Ariel chuckled.
Seeing the hesitant look on Hazel's face, Ariel said, "Don't worry, the photographer will give you instructions, let you do some simple poses. It's fast. You see, I came out in less than three minutes! Maybe, you need me to accompany you inside?"
"No need... you go to the locker room to change. I will find you after I finish shooting." Hazel shook her head and handed both of their handbags to Ariel. She was bold enough to be in the photo studio alone.
"Alright." Ariel nodded.
Hazel took a deep breath and walked into the studio.
She did not notice that a tall figure came in from the side door of the studio.
However, the director of the studio noticed the man and wanted to stop him. But he was a little stunned when he saw who the man was.
"Mr. President..." the director said unexpectedly, but Joshua made a gesture to stop him.
Joshua was really low-key, but still, the studio director naturally knew his Mr. President.
The director quickly shut his mouth. Joshua stood in the corner coldly, looking at the stage with a smile.
Hazel was a bit cautious. She kept pulling up her dress and then put one hand to cover her chest. "No.68, take it easy." The photographer said softly, "Don't worry, we will just take a few photos of you. And we don't require you to do highly difficult poses. Put your hands down, will you?"
Hazel's fingers tightened. Even though she was dragged into this activity by Ariel, she was a participant now.
Taking a deep breath, Hazel slowly let go of her hands. The beautiful plum birthmark on her chest caught everyone’s eye immediately.
Joshua's eyes turned cold!
The next moment, he walked through the crowd with a gloomy face and moved close to Hazel.
"More natural, smile!" The photographer said.
Wearing such a low-cut dress, Hazel really couldn’t be natural in front of so many people. Moreover, the photographer was trying to get shots on her chest.
Hazel swung her arms, trying to get her blood pumping, but she heard a soft bang.
Hazel’s chest suddenly felt cool, as the whole dress fell to the ground!
She screamed and bent down, swiftly guarding the private areas of her body.
The entire studio grew instantly quiet, as this was the first time they encountered this type of incident.Hazel was feeling so embarrassed. Her mind went blank. How could this be?Suddenly, a figure rushed onto the stage, took off his coat, and put it around her.Hazel gratefully looked up but saw a man in front of her staring at her chest, and... this person looked familiar.Her face turned red immediately. She still didn’t realize that this gentleman, who just helped her out, was the same pervert she met the other day!Hazel quickly closed the coat to cover her chest.Joshua was a little disappointed. He reached out to Hazel's chest and said, "Let go of your hands, I have
"No." He shook his head and said, "I really am...""Yes! Yes! Yes! You are Joshua The Almighty!" Hazel said impatiently, "What are you worried about, Master Joshua? With your supernatural power and resources, you will find me even if I ran away, right?"Joshua went silent.He spent too much time finding her and evading the eyes of others. He would not let Hazel go when he finally saw her.Although he already knew who he was seeking now and he had her detailed information, Joshua wanted to clarify the misunderstanding between them quickly.After taking a deep breath, Joshua began to complain, "You did not recognize me, and yet you still followed a stranger?"This little girl had so
As a pungent smell rushed towards his face, Jaxson screamed.The next moment, Ariel grabbed the coat from Jaxson's hands and put it directly on his head!Ariel could not have been any ruder. She attacked Jaxson with a storm of punches and said, "You degenerate son of bitch! That's what you get when you piss off a lady!"Jaxson couldn't open his eyes at all, and his throat was burning. He could only try hard to dodge the punches from Ariel."Hazel!" Ariel yelled.Hazel rushed out of the corner of the corridor.Hazel knew Joshua would definitely be alerted if she came by herself, so she asked Ariel to deliver the coat.In fact, Hazel did
Suddenly, Hazel looked at Summer questionably."What? Is there something on my face?" Summer touched her cheek."Summer, do you remember what happened in the bar that day?" Hazel asked."I cannot remember clearly. I drank too much that day." Summer frowned.‘When Ariel and I got to the bar, we heard you were taken to the men's room by a few guys, but I just saw one guy when I got in there. Do you remember that?"Summer thought for a moment and said, "Oh, yes. There was one guy who ran those little hooligans away from the men's room. Now when I think of it, that man who saved me was a handsome guy."Hazel was stunned by the horny look on Summer’s face.
"You said you don't know what Hazel is talking out, right?" Ariel sneered, "How come you suddenly know about the content of that post so clearly?""Give me a break. That post was so popular, so it's natural everyone knows what happened!" Kyla glanced at them with a scornful look, "And I did show someone some respect because I did not disclose the name of that heroine!""Kyla, don't say I didn't give you a chance." Hazel took out the phone unsympathetically and said, "Maybe we should get the police to play with us.""Oh, Hazel, do you think the police will care about that little thing of yours?" Kyla snorted."Kyla, the police are not as useless as you think." Hazel said coldly, "The number of hits of that post has exceeded 5,000. And with what you did to my dress, your p
Although she had a somewhat better impression of him, she had a vague sense of rejection in her heart. He was so perfect that he didn’t seem to be true.“Thank you very much, and thank your president very much.” Hazel smiled faintly. “You’ve helped me a lot. I am not upset about the dress incident. As for meeting him, it’s not necessary. After all, it’s not...”“Yes! Yes!” Ariel gave Hazel a quick shove and consented to the meeting for her. “Our Hazel would like to meet Mr. Denmark!”“Ariel!” Hazel gazed at her helplessly.“Hazel! It’s Joshua, Joshua Denmark! Shouldn’t you go and thank him in person for what he has done for you?” Ariel said, her eyes shining.
She yelled at him in disbelief. “Are you a fool? Didn’t you hear me? Hazel came to you to trick you into buying expensive wine!”“I see.” Isaac looked at her sarcastically. “I have a lot of money, and I am a fool. I like to spend money to amuse Hazel. Do you have any objections? Oh, by the way, if you really have an objection, keep it to yourself.”“You, you…” Karla was so irritated that she couldn’t speak. She just stood there pointing at Isaac.Then she said, infuriated with shame, “Unacceptable!” as she left in a huff.“Thank you for helping me out,” Hazel said with a smile. “But do you still need the wine?”“Yes, w
Joshua’s heart could not help but sink.Isaac’s word ‘Hazel’ and his particularly gentle attitude toward her gave him a bad feeling.“You don’t seem to want to clarify it now?” His eyes became deep.“Clarify what?” Isaac played a fool.“Fine,” Joshua spoke calmly and appeared relaxed instead.Noticing he was so calm, Isaac felt nervous. Joshua was not easy to get agitated. And, the calmer he was, the more trouble there would be.The door banged open, and a woman with a beautiful face came in, her eyes red.“Isaac Anderson!” The woman looked at him with grief
“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
