Ch. 141..150

Chapter 141: I Don’t Believe You

Jaxson felt ashamed. The gang just wanted to make trouble, and he still sent people to chase them. He obviously fell into their trap. The rest may not know anything, asking the leader was enough.

“Shut him up! We need to hide again.” Joshua commanded.

“Yes, Sir.” Jaxson agreed immediately.

They noticed that there was a devious-looking man on the corner watching the fight.

“Sir, it’s him.” Jaxson was surprised.

He did not expect that he would come home so early. He knew that he would be home for lunch, but he did not know the exact time. So, he had arranged for his men to wait all morning, now the man had noticed them and became watchful.

“Get him!” Joshua did not hesitate to order.

The man realized he was the one they were waiting for when they all turned and looked at him, he ran as fast as he could to lose them.

Hazel was sitting in the car waiting. Suddenly, she saw from the rearview mirror that someone was running in her direction. Joshua’s bodyguards were chasing him.

Watching that the man was approaching, Hazel pushed the door open just at the right time.

The man was knocked down, Hazel got out of the car.

“You…” The man glared at Hazel. He watched as the people who were chasing him got closer and closer, a flash of viciousness appeared in his eyes. “Bitch! You dare to stand in my way. I am going to take you as my hostage.”

He was getting up from the ground and was ready to pounce on Hazel.

Hazel reacted quickly and kicked him back to the ground.

“Ah!” The man’s face turned white. He was writhing around on the ground in agony. He never expected that he would be kicked down by a woman.

Joshua and his bodyguards ran to the car. He asked nervously, “Hazel, are you okay?”

Seeing that the bodyguards had grabbed the man, Hazel replied, “I’m fine. This man is just a bit stronger than ordinary people. He is not my opponent. Is he the one you are looking for?”

“Yeah. His name is Wade Davis. He loves to gamble. When he has no money, he will steal things.” Joshua told her. “Hazel, you were a great help.”

“He would not have escaped even if I wasn’t here.” Hazel asked, “So, what is the rest of the plan?”

Wade Davis yelled out before Joshua replied to Hazel, “Are…are you guys ordered by the woman to kill me? Tell her to let me go immediately. I served her for the whole night and have some ‘souvenirs.’ If she dares to do anything to harm me, I will leave her to be utterly humiliated.”

Hazel and Joshua did not expect him to say that. Did he think that they were on the same side as Vanessa? He said he had some evidence, which was a real surprise.

“I don’t believe you,” Joshua said to Wade coldly.

“There is a video on my mobile phone! You can check it yourself!” Wade said confidently. “Let me make it clear, I have also sent the video to a friend of mine. If anything happens to me, I told him he must put the video online.”

Hearing that, one of the bodyguards took the phone out of his pocket and handed it to Joshua.

“Jaxson,” Joshua took the phone and instructed, “Take him to the hospital. Watch over him until we get the results.”

Jaxson nodded.

Feeling that they did not intend to let him go no matter what, Wade was scared. He began shouting and kicking as the bodyguards pushed him into the car.

Joshua and Hazel went back to their car, Joshua looked through the phone and found the video.

Hazel also leans forward to watch it, but Joshua closes it immediately.

“I haven’t seen it yet.” Hazel was confused.

“Hazel, nothing important to see.” He put away the phone.

“Give it to me.” Hazel was intrigued and took the phone.

She opened the video. However, she returned it to Joshua quickly after a glance.

“I told you.” Joshua chuckled and closed the video.

Hazel turned to look outside and ignored him.

“Hazel, do you believe me now?” He asked her gently.

Although she just glanced at the video, Hazel was already convinced that nothing happened between Joshua and Vanessa. Vanessa had lied to them.

“Joshua, are you going to be angry with me for not trusting you before?” she asked awkwardly.

“It’s my fault. I did not explain to you, and I was also not with you when you were in danger and made you sad.” Joshua blamed himself. “I didn’t do anything that would make you trust me. Hazel, I will only be angry with myself.”

Hazel bit her tongue.

Joshua was so good to her. Even if she misunderstood him, he did not blame her but blamed himself.

However, his attitude toward her made her feel uneasy, which she thought were more like what would have among a family such as siblings. Did Joshua treat her as his sister? Because the Denmark Family had adopted him, and he wanted to return the favor? That was the reason he was so good to her? Or did he really like her?

“Hazel?” Joshua called her name softly. He knew Hazel was thinking about something.

“I… I want to think about it more.” She lowered her head and did not ask out her questions.

“Okay.” Joshua blinked his eyes and did not keep asking.

Hazel’s phone rang the moment she reached Denmark Residence. It was her brother, Ronald, she did not want to answer.

She regretted crying on the phone in the morning, and he might still be worrying about her, so she answered it.

“Hazel, have you back to City S?” He asked.

“Well… Ronald, I failed to catch the train and could not make it back.” Hazel was a little embarrassed.

“Why not change to another train?” Ronald was puzzled. “What about I call our parents and tell them to come there to see you?”

“Please don’t. Ronald!” Hazel immediately refused. She was in a dangerous situation now, and she did not want her parents to come.

“Ronald, I was homesick this morning because of the nightmare I had last night. I could not hold it back and cry. Actually, I’m fine now. Don’t tell our parents to come, they are so busy. Do not bother them for this little thing.” She hurriedly explained.

Ronald was in silence on the other end. He could feel from the phone how sad Hazel was this morning.

However, it was only a day. Hazel did not feel sad now? She even changed her mind and did not go home now?

There seemed to be only one explanation that made sense.

Ronald was nervous, he suddenly asked, “Hazel, have you fallen in love?”

 

Chapter 142: It Would Not Be That Easy

Being in love was the only reason that Ronald could have made Hazel so indecisive.

Hazel was outgoing and free. As long as nobody bothered her, she did not care. However, if you offended her, she would fight back; unless she was falling in love.

His lovely sister had a man that she loved?

Ronald had mixed emotions.

If the man makes Hazel feel so sad, he would not forgive her.

“No. I didn’t…I didn’t fall in love!” Hazel denied that immediately. “Ronald, I am so well-behaved. How would I even have time to fall in love before graduation?”

Joshua heard what she said. He raised his eyebrows unhappily, he was feeling depressed. She still would not tell her family about him. Was he an unspeakable presence?

Ronald knew Hazel well, and it was obvious that she was lying.

His studies were done, and he had originally planned to stay overseas for several years to build a career. Hazel was acting so strangely that he decided to return home, but he did not intend to tell her that until he knew exactly when he would be there.

“That’s all right,” Ronald replied. “I’m sure that you are okay now. I will tell our parents later and so that they are not worried.”

“Thanks, Ronald. You are my best brother.” Hazel said happily.

Joshua was jealous. She had never spoken to him in such a cute tone and expression.

Hazel hung up the phone and noticed that Joshua was looking at her.

“Why are you staring at me?” She was confused.

“What have you said to your brother?” Joshua asked her.

“Nothing important,” Hazel replied. “I have explained to my brother, and he will talk to our parents later.”

Joshua frowned. The Crowe Family was so good to Hazel. Would her brother so easily be convinced that Hazel was fine?

It would not be that easy.

“I’ll have some rest first,” Hazel said.

“Fine.” Joshua replied gently, “I will walk you back to your room.”

Hazel did not refuse.

***

In the hospital, Vanessa received a phone call from a blocked number. Vanessa was not surprised and answered the call.

“What are you call for? Do you want the others to discover that they have a connection?” Vanessa was irritated. The call was from no other than Sam Anderson.

“What are you so nervous about? Do you think that Joshua would not think of that? He just has no evidence. Moreover, I have something important to tell you.” Sam replied, “Joshua has picked up a person today. Does the man have anything to do with you?”

“Who is he?” Vanessa asked him in a puzzled voice.

“His name is Wade Davis, he is a gambler and thief.”

“Are you kidding me? How would I know such kind of person?” Vanessa replied angrily.

“You’d better do not know him. Joshua seemed to be really interested in him. I guess he may know something about you. By the way, have you really decided to abort your child? After all, it is also Joshua’s child.”

Vanessa was nervous. Did Sam Anderson infer something?

Nobody knew that the baby she had was not Joshua’s, not even her parents. Sam could not know.

She had found an excuse to send her parents away then she secretly contacted a doctor to help her with the abortion.

It was the best way. After that, no matter how Joshua justified himself, he would never be able to explain that he was not the father of the child. She would not admit anything if Sam Anderson asked.

“None of your business,” Vanessa said coldly. “He treated me bad first, and I will not show kindness if a child could make him lose all his standing and reputation. It could not be more worthwhile!”

Sam Anderson sneered, “It’s true that the woman’s heart is the cruelest!”

“Anything else?” Vanessa was impatient.

“No.”

So, she hung up the phone and put her hands on her stomach. Her eyes became extraordinarily cold, “Baby, it’s not that I do not want you, but why are you not the baby of Joshua? Help mom this time.”

***

Hazel was having breakfast with Joshua; suddenly, they heard a violent pounding on the door of the gate.

“What’s up?” Joshua asked surprisingly.

The servant came up and explained, “Sir, a lot of journalists were outside saying that they want to interview Miss Hazel!”

Hazel was unable to comprehend what was happening.

“I see. Tell them to go to the hospital first. I will explain it all there.” Joshua instructed the servant calmly.

The servant agreed and went to tell the journalists. Hazel was more confused.

He looked at Hazel and said calmly, “I think Vanessa has already had the abortion.”

“Then what should we do now?” Hazel was nervous.

“Rest assured, Hazel. You stay at home; I will deal with it. “Joshua said, “It is time to wrap things up!”

Hazel had no appetite to finish her breakfast. She frowned, “Joshua, I’ll come with you. I am the one they are looking for. I will not hide here.”

Joshua sighed, “Hazel, the journalists are so mean.”

“It’s okay,” said Hazel. “It’s not the first time I have been treated like that. Besides, you are there to back me up.”

“All right.” Joshua smiled softly. She relied on him so much, how could he decline her?

After breakfast, they went to the hospital where Vanessa was.

The journalists were waiting outside the door of Vanessa’s ward. Although the door was closed, people still could hear her crying.

“Here comes Mr. Denmark.” Someone shouted that, and everyone quickly ran in the direction of Joshua.

The door of the ward was also open, Garry Young heard Joshua’s name and walked out furiously. The journalists made it for him.

Garry shouted angrily, “Joshua Denmark, are you satisfied now? Vanessa lost her child. It was also yours! You even dare to bring this woman here! What do you want to do? It was because of this woman that Vanesa lost her child. What a murderer! I will call the police! She has to go to jail for this!”

Hazel did not expect that Garry Young would be so excited at the sight of her.

The journalists all began to take pictures of Hazel.

Joshua stepped forward and stood in front of Hazel. He said calmly, “Mr. Young, I am here to clear things up with you. However, I suggest that we’d better talk about them privately.”

“Joshua, are you afraid now?” Garry Young was furious. “Privately? Do not even think about it! I want you to be ruined in front of the media today!”

 

Chapter 143: They Are True

There was a glint of mockery in Joshua’s eyes.

“Mr. Young, do you mean that you want to talk with me here?” Joshua asked coldly.

Garry looked around and realized that they were in the corridor of the hospital. It was indeed not a proper place to talk.

He snorted and went back to the ward.

Joshua and Hazel also walked into the ward. The journalists did not want to miss the chance, and all rushed in.

The ward crowded due to all of the people standing there, waiting for answers. However, Garry seemed to be expecting more journalists to arrive.

Vanessa was lying on the bed crying and seemed very haggard.

Mabel was comforting her. Seeing that they have arrived, she shouted at Joshua, “Joshua, see what have you done! You better provide a good explanation.”

“What do you need Joshua to explain, Mrs. Young?” The journalists asked.

“My daughter Vanessa was pregnant with the child of Joshua Denmark, but the vicious Hazel Crowe pushed Vanessa into the water, and she lost her child. I need Joshua to promise us that he will cut contact with Hazel Crowe and marry Vanessa.” Mabel Lawrence said angrily. “If he does not agree, we will see him in court.”

Mabel glared at Hazel after she finished speaking.

The journalists then turned to Joshua, “Mr. Denmark, what do you think?”

The ward was full of noise made by the journalists. Joshua made a gesture to make then hush.

He replied calmly, “Mrs. Young, I think you are mistaken, Vanessa’s child was not mine.”

The journalists were all talking in confusion.

Garry’s face turned dark with rage. He yelled, “Joshua Denmark, you are such a coward. Vanessa has already lost the child, and then you think you can deny it? Vanessa has the paternity test. You’ll never get away with this.”

Then Garry took the results of the paternity test out, he must have prepared them beforehand.

The journalists snatched away the documents and checked them carefully. “They are true.” They concluded one by one.

Joshua took them casually. He said indifferently. “What a coincidence? I also let the hospital take another paternity test. However, the results are quite different.”

Vanessa clenched her fingers nervously. She would not be afraid, even if his results were different than hers, without the baby, she would insist that the baby was Joshua’s. They had no further evidence to prove that the baby was not his. She had to remain calm.

“That is because you bribed the hospital to make a fake document.” Garry was furious.

Joshua replied calmly, “I guessed you would say that. Therefore, I went to the hospital where Vanessa did the paternity test and did it one more time. The results were still that the baby had no blood relationship with me at all. I want to ask Miss Vanessa why there are two different results from the same hospital?”

Jaxson walked in with another test result and gave them to the journalists.

Garry obviously did not expect that Joshua would do that. He was looking nervous.

The journalists began to discuss after inspecting them.

The test results were from the same hospital as that of Vanessa’s, but the journalists did not know whom to believe with the different results.

“Yours is the fake one.” Garry was becoming angrier. “Joshua, what’s the difference between you making one fake result or two?”

“Why is that your test results are true and Joshua’s are fake? Hazel said, “why is it not you who made the fake one?”

Garry glared at Hazel. He wanted to refute her, but the ward became too noisy to hear any other voice after Hazel’s words.

Obviously, the journalists agreed with Hazel. They might not believe Joshua’s test results, but Vanessa’s, of course, was not worth believing.

“Joshua,” Vanessa said in a somber voice. “After all, we are childhood sweethearts. We almost got married. I understand that you have someone you love now and do not want our baby. But how could you deny the fact? If the child was not yours, then who was the father?”

The journalists fell into silence and waited for her to continue.

Of course, they also caught the hidden meaning of Vanessa’s words. She and Joshua almost got married, but Joshua had a new love and was tired of the one old. Now he thoroughly denied his baby for the sake of Hazel Crowe?

The journalists were now looking at Joshua as if he was a womanizer.

Hazel looked at the journalists and could guess what they were thinking; they believed Vanessa. If they reported this version of the story, Joshua would be written as the most hateful scum in history.

Although she knew Joshua still had other tricks up his sleeve, she still worried about him.

“Miss Vanessa, rest assured, Mr. Denmark has helped you find the father of your baby.” Jaxson suddenly said, “And we have done the paternity test, he is indeed the father.”

“What?”

The journalists were all taken aback and looked at Joshua.

It would be a major headline for them.

The Young Family was so excited because they thought Joshua Denmark was the father of the baby. If not, then why should he be responsible for helping Vanessa?

The Young Family was also shocked. They did not expect that Joshua had really found a person to take the responsibility.

At that time, Joshua’s bodyguards brought Wade Davis in.

The journalists immediately took pictures of him.

Wade was scared in the beginning and hid behind the bodyguards.

The Young Family was scared and confused.

“Joshua, you’re way out of line!” Garry was about to mad, “We don’t even know this man. Do you think you can let him take responsibility for you?”

Wade looked in the direction of Garry and noticed Vanessa, he was surprised, “You are here.”

“Vanessa, do you know him?” Mabel was nervous and asked her.

“I’ve never seen him before,” Vanessa replied with a puzzled look.

The journalists all looked at Joshua. Vanessa did not seem to be lying, so it must be Joshua who was lying.

Seeing that Vanessa said she did not know him, Wade got angry. He shouted, “Bitch! That night when you were in bed, you were so nice to me. Now you say you don’t know me after putting on clothes?”

 

Chapter 144: No One Is Slandering You

Everyone was left shocked and speechless.

No one thought that Wade would be so graphic.

Journalists all looked at Vanessa now with a meaningful look. Did she really have a relationship with such a person?

Vanessa was trembling with anger. She was annoyed and pointed at Joshua, “Joshua Denmark, you’re way out of line! You just found a man who I don’t even know, and with a fake text result, you claimed him to be the father of the baby! How could you slander me like that?”

Wade was irritated. He was fiercely yelling at Vanessa, “Bitch! How dare you not recognize me? Don’t you forget how badly you begged me to sleep with you? And you said that once I did that, you would never badger me anymore but be grateful to me. You even took off my clothes and asked me to give you a child…”

“You…you talk nonsense.” Vanessa turned white and threw the pillow at Wade madly, “Shut up! Shut up! You are slandering me! Joshua must have given you money to say so.”

Vanessa was shocked and horrified, what Wade had said indeed reminded her of the things that happened that night.

Why was he so clear about that? Was he really the person who had sex with her that night?

Suddenly, Vanessa thought of the call from Sam Anderson.

He told her that Joshua had caught a person yesterday. How could Joshua find the man? He was unable to get the video surveillance, but how could he know who the man was?

Whether Wade was the man or not. She could not admit it. As long as she insisted that Joshua was the father, he would still be suspected.

She did not believe that he would have any evidence.

The journalists turned their eyes to Joshua and waited for him to explain.

Wade was too rude. They were unable to imagine that Vanessa would have sex with such a man. However, if Joshua was lying, this meant he was just as indecent.

“Joshua Denmark, why are you so dirty! Why are you slandering us?” Garry rushed toward Joshua, but his bodyguards stopped him. He roared, “Son of bitch! You are such an ungrateful heartless villain. I shouldn’t have been so good to you before.”

“No one is slandering you!” Hazel frowned and opened her mouth, saying.

She had just been standing on the side quietly like the journalists. But how could she stand what Garry had said to Joshua?

Joshua looked at Hazel’s angry face and felt warmth in their heart.

The Young Family had humiliated her before, but she did not care at all and even did not refute back. She could not listen while Garry insulted him.

“So, where is your evidence? Show us if you have any.” Mabel glared at Hazel, “If you did not have any, I would cut your tongue off!”

“We have evidence.” Hazel sneered.

People all fell into silence upon hearing that.

The journalists all looked at Hazel and were excited about her words.

If Joshua had evidence, then the whole thing would be totally a different situation.

Wade suddenly thought of something and said, “Fortunately, I took a video of how you begged me and our wonderful moment. Give me my phone and show the journalists what a bitch she is.”

Vanesa was shocked and grabbed Mabel’s arm tight.

Mabel was astonished at Vanessa’s reaction and looked at her surprisingly. Soon she turned white, too. As Vanessa’s mother, how could she not understand her fear?

Vanessa was no longer angry but very scared now. What was she afraid of? Was the man right?

Garry sneered, “Well, let me see what video that you have.”

“Garry, Vanessa is fainting. Call the doctor now.” Mabel interrupted him immediately.

Garry was confused about this situation and replied hurriedly, “OK. Wait for me here.”

“Get all the rest of the people out of here. Vanessa is short of breath.” Mabel shouted then.

“Please get out of the ward.” Garry began to push people away though, he was still puzzled.

The journalists suddenly fell into a state of complete chaos, shouting to stay.

The journalists soon realized that it was weird. What a coincidence that Vanessa fainted now? She must be afraid that Joshua indeed had evidence.

What did they mean of out of breath? They had been here for such a long time, and now she felt breathless? She was afraid that they would report this thing.

If they left, they probably had no chance to come back. How could they miss such a good opportunity? The journalists began to think of ways to stay, but Garry was rather determined to get them out.

Garry walked in front of Joshua and shouted, “You also get out of here.”

“Are you sure, Mr. Young?” Joshua smiled slightly.

“Let him stay,” Mabel said in a hurry.

Now, she could not let the journalists know what had happened, she had to talk with Joshua privately and minimize the impact of the issue.

“Mabel, why are you letting him stay?” Garry asked her surprisingly.

“He is related to this issue. And Vanessa fainted because of him. Of course, he needs to stay.” Mabel found a reason.

Garry then began to drive Hazel and Wade away. Joshua said slowly, “Mr. Young, if they leave, I think there is no reason for me to stay.”

Garry was irritated, “Don’t be so insatiable.”

“Let them stay,” Mabel said indignantly.

Garry looked at her with a puzzled look. Though he was slow, he felt that there was something wrong.

The journalists were all evicted, and there were only the people who were relevant to the situation standing in the room.

Garry closed the door; the journalists could only press their ears against the door to hear what was happening inside.

However, it was hard for them to hear clearly, but several journalists took out their earphones. Before they were pushed out of the room, someone dropped a bug. Other journalists scrambled to get their earphones.

The scene became chaotic again.

“Hush! They are talking.” A journalist suddenly said. They all waited, holding their breath.

“Joshua, where is your evidence?” Mabel questioned him.

Garry was stunned. What did she mean? Did Joshua really have evidence? How many things did he still not know?

“Mrs. Young. I think you need to at least be polite.” Joshua said.

 

Chapter 145: What Do You Want?

Mabel was furious. But Garry still could not believe that.

“What do you mean, Mabel?” Garry shouted at her angrily. “Do you believe them? How could you suspect our daughter? She wouldn’t lie to us.”

“You really think your daughter is the way you think she is?” Wade did not hesitate to taunt him, “that’s because you haven’t seen what she was like in bed.”

“Shut up!” Vanessa, who pretended to be lightheaded, was unable to continue anymore out of anger.

“I knew you did not faint.” Wade was delighted.

Garry could not believe what he had seen. His daughter had tricked him.

“Vanessa, how could you…” He spoke to Vanessa harshly.

“Dad! I was forced on that day! I was drunk and did not know anything. Trust me! Dad.” Vanessa explained nervously.

The journalists outside the ward who heard that were surprised. They were not stupid and could understand what she meant. She had admitted that the one she had sex with was the rude man and not Joshua Denmark.

What a front-page story! They immediately called their offices.

Garry was about to pass out after hearing what Vanessa said. He desperately pointed at Vanessa, “You…you…”

Mabel was also devastated. Though she had guessed some, she still could not accept what she heard from Vanessa’s mouth.

They all thought that Vanessa had Joshua’s child and she had a relationship with him. It was just a figment of Vanessa’s imagination and all lies.

“When did I force you? I can say that you forced me!” Wade got angry. He looked at Joshua and said anxiously, “Show them the video.”

Joshua took the phone out. Wade grabbed it and opened the video. “Now, have a look.”

The moment he opened the video, Vanessa’s voice was heard. It was clear what had happened at that moment.

In the video, Vanessa took the initiative and was very active. Wade humiliated her with nasty words. However, Vanessa was more excited and still catered to him.

Joshua raised his eyebrows and put his hands to Hazel’s ears, “You don’t need to hear those dirty words.”

Hazel looked up at him and felt funny.

Garry and Mabel were pale and looked weak. Vanessa rushed to get the phone and slammed it hard against the wall. The phone smashed, with pieces flying in every direction.

“Now, you have no evidence. What would you plan to do next?” Vanessa sounded crazy.

The journalists were disappointed, they could write a story with what Vanessa said, but it would be better if they had the video.

“Bitch! Do you really think that I have no way then?” Wade said angrily.

“I sent the movie to my friend. If something bad happens to me, I have told him to post the video online. Then people around the world would be able to see how you behave in the bed.”

Vanessa’s face was red with rage.

“What do you want?” Garry took a breath and said with a painful voice, “How much money do you want to destroy the video?”

“Money?” Wade sneered and looked at Vanessa from head to toe, “I want not only your money but also your daughter. Old man, I have slept with your daughter, and we may even have a baby. I do not mind marrying her. Haha…”

Listening to his nasty and disgusting laughter, Hazel whispered to Joshua, “Vanessa was trying to force you to marry her, but she is being forced by this disgusting guy. She deserves it.”

“My thoughts exactly.” Joshua nodded his head.

“Dream on!” Vanessa shouted at him.

“Bitch! Didn’t you feel comfortable that night? Don’t you miss me these days?” Wade continued his dirty words.

Garry’s head was throbbing out of anger.

Vanessa had lied to all of them. He really wanted to leave her alone. But she was her daughter, how could he not care about her?

“Joshua, please help Vanessa!” Garry asked Joshua for help.

The ward fell into silence. Wade also looked at him anxiously.

He was caught by Joshua’s people and was indeed afraid of him. Though he was not a good man, he knew how to move away from pain and toward gain.

Wade was clear that if Joshua got involved, he was unable to do anything because he had the video.

“Are you joking? Mr. Young.” Joshua replied with a half-smile. “This is the private matter for you, the Young Family, and Mr. Wade. I find no reason to get involved. I advise that you’d better call the police.”

Garry really hated Joshua acting that way and getting away with it.

Joshua was always like that. He seemed to be nice and defenseless. But he never lost to anyone.

Garry found out how capable he was when he was finally confronted with him. If he had had a second chance, he would not have chosen to be his opponent.

“As long as you are willing to help us with this matter,” Garry said, “We will make Vanessa clarify to the media that this thing was a total misunderstanding. Also, we will promise not to sue Hazel. Anyway, it is true that Hazel pushed my daughter into the water. If we really want to sue her, you may not be able to stop it!”

“Dad! I beg to differ.” Vanessa looked at her father surprisingly, “I won’t clarify anything. This is not a misunderstanding. I will not let go of Hazel! I want her to go to jail!”

What she had done was so she could ruin Joshua’s reputation and make Hazel kneel in front of her and beg. Instead, she gained nothing but make herself fall innoveldrama

to disgrace.

“Shut up!” Garry shouted at her, “If you want to marry this asshole, I will sue Hazel immediately.”

They knew they had completely lost, and it was no good for them to make Joshua their enemy. He had to make a secret and let Vanessa’s reputation be ruined.

“I refuse on behalf of Joshua.” Hazel said, “Please feel free to sue me; I will wait for the call from the court.”

 

Chapter 146: Don’t Lie

Garry froze. Vanessa could not believe what she had heard.

Vanessa disagreed with her father’s proposal at all, but when he told her to marry Wade, she was about to change her mind. She would rather die than marry him.

No matter how impulsive she was, she still knew that her father was good to her.

However, Hazel refused the proposal?

“Do you know what you are talking about?” Vanessa could not believe what she was hearing.

“No matter whose baby it was, it is true that you pushed Vanessa into the water so that she had lost her child. You hurt the baby with intention. If we sued you, you would definitely go to jail. Even if you had the best lawyer, only a reduction of punishment would be made. You would still need to stay in jail for years.”

“Child?” Wade was excited. He looked at Vanessa, saying, “You were pregnant? My child? I’m so great!”

After he was caught by Joshua yesterday, Jaxson told him nothing, so he was still confused why they caught him. Later he figured out that they plan to have him identify the woman he had sex with. But he knew nothing about the child.

“Shut up!” Vanessa shouted at him. “You are not qualified to speak here. You are making me sick. I’ll find someone to beat you to death.”

A flash of anger appeared on his face. But then Joshua cut in, “Mr. Wade, what about you deal with this thing later?”

Wade looked at him fearfully. Though Joshua was asking for his opinion, he did not dare to refuse him at all. He snorted and sat in the corner.

“Hazel, have you thought it over?” Garry asked her, “Do you really want to cause destruction to both sides? To be honest, though this thing would influence Vanessa somehow if we send her to another country, nobody would know that there. However, you are not in the same situation, do you really want to spend the most beautiful years in your lifetime in prison?”

Hazel looked at him calmly.

She knew that Garry was threatening her, but she also knew that he was just bluffing. They were actually terrified that Hazel would refuse them.

“I did not push her. Anyway, a good conscience knows no fear.” Hazel said calmly, “I believe the law will prove my innocence.”

“You are so naïve.” Garry snarled, “Joshua, she is innocent, and you are also so thoughtless?”

“I believe Hazel,” Joshua replied. “Let alone that falling into the water was not the reason Vanessa lost her child.”

“You are talking rubbish.” Vanessa pointed at Joshua arguing.

Garry and Mabel were shocked. Vanessa had lied to them once, they partially believed what Joshua said this time.

Garry was dizzy and felt like he was going to pass out.

He originally thought that Vanessa only cheated them into believing that the father of the child was Joshua. He never expected that his daughter would deliberately abort her baby and frame Hazel, but he did believe that she set up Hazel.

What had he done wrong to have a daughter that would punish him? It was retaliation for what Vanessa was doing to Hazel every time Joshua taught her a lesson. Why did she not learn and still continue to hurt Hazel?

This time Garry had run out of methods. If Hazel did not agree to reach a reconciliation privately, they would have to face the crazy revenge of Denmark’s Family.

Joshua took out his phone calmly and played what he had recorded.

“None of your business. He treated me badly first, and I will not show kindness if a child could make him lose all his standing and reputation. It could not be more worthwhile!”

“Baby, it’s not that I do not want you, but why are you not the baby of Joshua? Help mom this time.”

Vanessa’s words echoed in the ward.

Hazel was taken aback.

She could understand that Vanessa did not want the baby. However, she was so cold and had no regret or emotions when she spoke about the baby—what a cruel-hearted woman.

Vanessa staggered and stepped back.

Those words were said when she was having a conversation with Sam Anderson.

How could Joshua have recorded them?

“You…you have spied on me?” Vanessa roared.

“No. I haven’t.” Joshua replied, “A nurse heard and happened to record it. She gave it to me.”

“I do not care where the recording came from. It seems that I have nothing to do with the loss of your child.” Hazel said. “I believe the doctor who helped you with the abortion would cooperate with the investigation.”

The Young Family was panicking. They had fewer and fewer chips, which made them so desperate.

Garry insisted, “Joshua, you cannot deny the fact that Hazel pushed Vanessa into the water. If you do not let this go, I will sue her for murder.”

Hazel was left speechless by how shameless they were.

With all the truth in front of them, they still slandered her?

“Joshua, there is no need to be like that. As delicate as Hazel is, if she was jailed, wouldn’t you feel sad?” Mabel added.

Joshua suddenly sighed.

“What’s more, do you have any evidence that showed Hazel is not the one to push me?” Vanessa said.

“Sorry for disappointing you.” Joshua blinked his eyes and said coldly, “I indeed have evidence.”

“It’s impossible!” Vanessa shouted out.

She had confirmed that there was no CCTV around and no one was there at that moment.

He must be lying. It was impossible that he could have any evidence.

“Really?” Hazel looked at him surprisingly. She did not know that!

“Well, Isaac gave it to me this morning.” Joshua smiled at her slightly. “To be honest, I’m also surprised to have such evidence. A servant of the Anderson Family made the video when he was shooting the night view of the lake. The video is also apparent.”

“Don’t…don’t lie.” Vanessa grew more restless, “How could the servant of the Anderson Family give the evidence to you?”

 

Chapter 147: You Know This?

“Because you are cooperating with the Anderson Family?” Joshua walked calmly in front of her and said in a low voice, but he didn’t say who he was.

Vanessa’s face became even paler. How did Joshua even know these things?

She always felt that her plan was so seamless, and it was enough to ruin his reputation. But in front of Joshua, the plan seemed so weak and ridiculous.

“But you and that person seem to have forgotten it,” Joshua said. “The one who really has the right to decide was Grandpa Anderson.”

Vanessa almost fell, and all the cards in her hands had been decided by Joshua. It could be said that she completely failed.

“Mr. Young,” Joshua looked at Garry. “I think you are also clear what is going on in the end. Remembering the friendship between the two families, as long as you voluntarily clarify this fact, I will not continue to figure out how you will be responsible for it. Otherwise, you guys just wait for the lawyer’s letter.”

Joshua looked at Hazel. “Let’s go, there should be nothing for us.”

“Okay.” Hazel nodded.

Vanessa’s self-directed play was coming to an end, and she has nothing to threaten them with. Although she did not care much that Joshua hadn’t made trouble for her, which caught her off guard, she knew Joshua had enough evidence in his hand, and she could do nothing else.

Garry still wanted to say something, but he couldn’t speak.

Vanessa was feeling even more desperate, but she knew very well that Joshua had left no choice for her.

Joshua and Hazel opened the door of the room to leave, the flash from the cameras blinded her. Joshua reached out and gently covered her eyes.

The reporter asked a variety of questions. Apparently, they had clearly heard the conversation that happened in the room.

Joshua raised his hand slightly, and everyone suddenly quieted down.

“I understand that you have a lot of questions for Mr. Young’s family now,” Joshua said with a heavy facial expression. “This incident has caused a lot of suffering for both Hazel and me. I ask that you respect our privacy and allow us time to comprehend what has happened fully.”

The reporters understood what Joshua was saying, both of them were framed by Vanessa. They had been criticized very harshly, and the reporters had to understand their need for seclusion.

Joshua clearly expressed the refusal of interviews, and they did not want to offend him. The reporters stepped aside and let them go to the elevator without any further questions.

Suddenly, a loud noise came from Vanessa’s room. Hazel wanted to turn back, but Joshua gently touched her shoulder. He said lightly, “Don’t worry, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us. .”

Hazel nodded, and they left as the reporters rushed into the room.

They couldn’t interview Joshua, but they definitely would not miss interviewing Garry. They even had thought of a series of sharp questions. When they walked into the room, they saw that Wade was holding Vanessa by the shirt and slapping her face in a frenzy.

“Hey! You wanted to be pregnant, and the child’s father was me! You dare have an abortion? I will teach you a lesson!”

Vanessa desperately wanted to resist, but she did not have the strength to fight him off.

Mabel rushed over and desperately slammed on Wade’s back. “You let go of Vanessa. Let go of her!”

Wade impatiently pushed her away, and Mabel’s head was slammed into the corner of the table and was knocked unconscious.

Garry was anxious and rushed up to biting Wade’s wrist.

Wade angrily released Vanessa and seized Garry to kick his arm.

The reporters, who rushed in, looked at everything in front of them with shock. Although they all thought that Wade was not a good guy, they all listened clearly to the conversation that had taken place. They felt that it was justified for the Young’s to get what they deserved and when they met Wade, they got what they deserved.

“Please pull him away! Don’t you see that someone is going to die?” Vanessa covered her cheek and hurriedly yelled at the reporter.

Everyone looked at Vanessa arrogantly. Even at this time, she was acting so arrogantly.

“Mr. Davis, please stop, we all looked at it.” Some reporters persuaded, but no one came forward.

Wade was tired and spat at Garry and then pushed his way through the crowd.

The reporters did not stop him; their goal was Vanessa.

“Miss Young, how can you think of such a vicious plan?”

“Were you planning with the gentleman just now, deliberately trying to use your child to defraud the property of the Denmark family?”

The series of accusations drove Vanessa almost mad. She was so annoyed that she covered her head and screamed.

***

Hazel got into the car, she couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

She knew that Joshua was involved, he could solve it, so she didn’t need to worry too much. But she still felt that it would not be solved that easily.

Suddenly, she looked at Joshua and questioned with worry, “Will those reporters write anything bad?”

“Don’t worry, they won’t.” Joshua said, “The reporters left a bug in the ward. They all clearly heard what was said. ”

Hazel asked, “You know this?”

“I saw it.” He smiled.

Hazel was amazed, he observed everything so closely. Suddenly, she looked out the window and was confused. “This is not the way.”

“Well, I am taking you to a special place,” Joshua said.

Hazel was hesitant, she was tired but did not ask anymore.

The car came to the villa in the suburbs, Hazel and Joshua got out of the car.

Joshua had brought her to the same villa on a date. That night he told her that it was his parents who planted the rose field…her parents.

“You brought me here…” Hazel looked at him, baffled.

“Hazel, I hope you can understand them.” His eyes became deeper. “Before you were born, they had already prepared the house and wanted to give it to you as a wedding house after you grew up.”

Hazel only felt tears swelling in her eyes. Although she had never seen her biological parents, she could feel their deep love for herself.

When she lost her, how hard was it to live?

A cold breeze blew, Joshua took her hand and said softly, “Let’s go, let’s go in.”

The two entered the living room, and Jaxson Hunk put an envelope on the table, nodded at them, and walked out.

Joshua took the document out and handed it to her. Hazel took it blankly and looked at the big characters above. Her eyelids couldn’t help but jump.

It was a property transfer agreement.

 

Chapter 148: Sign It

“Sign it,” Joshua whispered and handed the pen to her.

Hazel’s eyelids flutter.

She was very clear that as long as she signed the document, then everything in the Denmark family belonged to her, but…

Joshua put the pen in her hand, and he said in a low voice, “Hazel, all this is supposed to be yours.”

Looking at the pen in his hand, she took it, but it felt so heavy.

She took a deep breath and threw the pen down on the contract.

“Joshua, you are sure that I am the daughter of the Denmark family?” She pushed the contract aside and said unwillingly, “How could I not be the daughter of Crowe’s family? My parents and my brother treat me so good……”

If she signed, it was proved that she was not the daughter of Crowe’s family. She lived in them for nearly two decades, and she really couldn’t do it.

Just like having guessed what she thought, Joshua whispered, “Hazel, family members are never just tied together with blood relationship. Even if you sign, the Crowe family is still your home, your parents. Your relationship with Crowe’ family will not change.”

“But…” Hazel felt somewhat disappointed. Something was different when it was revealed. At least she can’t accept a fact like this.

She took a deep breath and pushed the document back to him. “Joshua, can you give me some time to think about it?”

“… Fine,” Joshua thought for a while. “You sign your name first, but we don’t sign the date. When you think it through, you fill in the date.”

“Is it that okay?” Hazel looked at him strangely. Why did she always feel that she was going to be deceived by Joshua?

“Of course.” Joshua nodded solemnly, and his eyes flashed with hurt. “Hazel, do you think I will lie to you?”

Looking at his offended eyes, Hazel suddenly felt guilty.

Joshua gave everything to her, giving her money and giving her countless properties. But she still tried to refuse and suspected him, this must hurt him so much?

“I promise you.” She hurried to said but added with some worry, “But we have to make an agreement that if I don’t agree, you can’t fill in the date.”

“Okay.” Joshua lifted lips. This little girl still had too little experience.

He handed the pen to her and urged her, “Quickly sign, I will tell you where.”

The transfer agreement was made in triplicate, and Joshua pointed to the place where it was necessary to sign. Hazel took the pen and signed it in silliness.

When she just signed the document, she looked at Joshua with a stunned look, “No!”

“Well?” Joshua looked at him strangely.

“You give me all this, then what about you?” she said awkwardly. “Joshua, even if you are the adopted child of the Denmark family, you have the right to inherit. Moreover, it was completely your credit the Denmark family developed to this scale. How can you give it all to me?”

Joshua smiled.

If it was someone else, he was afraid that they would sign it without hesitation. Not Hazel though, she was still thinking of him and would not ignore or deny him.

This may be the reason why he liked Hazel when he first saw this pure and flawless girl.

“Hazel, the Denmark Group originally belonged to you.” He said in a low voice, “No matter how good it is now, it should belong to you. Everything that my parents left for you is also yours. As for me, don’t worry. I will not have anything.”

Hazel looked at him.

His eyes became profound, and Joshua said with deep affection, “I have a love of my parents, and… you.”

Hazel felt that her heart was hefty. If she refused Joshua, then he would have nothing. She didn’t want him to be poor.

“Hazel,” he sighed and approached her. “Our misunderstanding is over?”

“It is over, but…” Hazel said with some entanglement, “I really don’t know how to face you.”

“Is it stressing you?” He caught her hand and placed it gently on his heart.

“Don’t think too much, just think about how you feel about me. Hazel, do you like me?”

Her fingertips were on his chest, the heat of it, and his steady heartbeat, but her heart was confused, and all she could do was nod her head.

There was no doubt that she liked Joshua.

“How much do you like? Has our relationship reached love?” he asked.

“Yeah.” Hazel nodded again.

When she misunderstood Joshua, she was in so much pain because of how deeply she loved Joshua. She did not deny it.

“Then, do you think that I am a person who is suitable to trust for your entire life?” He was stunned and looked very serious.

She nodded again.

She could feel how good Joshua was.

“That is, if you could choose, would you be willing to spend the rest of your life with me, will you?” He smiled.

Hazel was somewhat embarrassed. How did she feel that she was trapped step by step by Joshua?

“You, are you proposing to me?” Hazel was perplexed, and she was ready to reject him.

Joshua’s eyes darkened a little, and it seemed that he had to do it slowly.

“Just assuming that,” he said.

“I would be willing to,” Hazel thought for a moment.

“That is, if our feelings had smooth progress, we would be able to get married, right?” He smiled and changed the way to ask her.

“Yes.” Hazel was confused by him.

“Then when we get married, the husband would give the property to his wife, isn’t it a reasonable thing?” He sighed. “I just did what I should do as a husband.”

“But we are not married yet!” Hazel was speechless, and Joshua was too cunning. She was really entangled in his scheme.

“You will get married sooner or later, is it the same if I give you the money early or not?” He smiled.

Hazel really didn’t know what to say. Well, although she felt that Joshua was arrogant, she could not find his fault. She was convinced.

However, she is somewhat shocked. Joshua’s feelings for her are more than she expected.

He did not have to give her all, but he was like a husband who completely gave the property to his wife and did not leave money for himself.

This may be nothing for an ordinary person, but this was Joshua, he had everything and did not hesitate to give it to her.

“Hazel.” His fingers touched her hair, his voice was soft and confused.

“Let’s make up.”

“… um.” Hazel’s heart was beating like a drum. She couldn’t think of any reason to refuse Joshua.

His lips fell, and Joshua kissed her softly. She responded in confusion with her arms around his neck.

Suddenly, a melodious cell rang, and Hazel seemed to be suddenly awake and pushed Joshua away.

 

Chapter 149: Find A Way To Lie?

Joshua became upset suddenly.

He managed to please Hazel, and they were trying to reconcile. It was important for them to continue to improve their relationship. And someone called to interrupt them?

“Don’t pick it up.” He said in a deep voice and reached for Hazel’s phone.

“Don’t mess around, it’s my brother,” Hazel said.

Joshua sighed.

Hazel pressed the answer button.

“Hazel, Joshua is next to you?” Ronald asked.

Hazel was scared and threw the phone down.

She looked at Joshua with her pale face. He was next to her, but how did Ronald know? Shouldn’t he be abroad now?

She was prepared to deny it, but she immediately swallowed back what she wanted to say.

No, Ronald wanted to fool her.

Whether she answered yes or no, it would be equal to acknowledging that she and Joshua were related.

It seemed that Ronald must have guessed something.

Taking a deep breath, Hazel began to play to be stupid, “Who is Joshua? Who is he?”

Joshua looked when he heard his name, and since Ronald asked about him, he must know about his and Hazel’s relationship. He was afraid that people in the Crowe family would start arriving in the next few days.

Ronald was silent, and Hazel was panicking.

“He is the president of the Denmark Group. I heard that there is a nickname for the national male god on the Internet. Have you ever heard of it?” he asked.

“I have been busy, and I don’t pay much attention to that stuff.” Hazel continued to lie.

“Oh? My classmates care about it. He also told me that Joshua has a girlfriend and her name also seems to be Hazel.” Ronald said with a chuckle.

“I am surprised. Her name is actually the same as yours. It’s really a coincidence.”

Hazel felt her heart almost jump out of her mouth, and there was a layer of fine sweat on her back. She said slyly, “Is it? It’s really a coincidence.”

Ronald was speechless.

He just made a direct statement, but Hazel still wanted to lie to him. Since she didn’t want him to know, he pretended not to know.

“I think you two just have the same name, and I didn’t pay much attention to it,” Ronald said.

“We just have the same name, huh?.” Hazel laughed twice and secretly sighed.

“Hazel, if you are wronged, you can tell me directly. You know that, right?” Ronald whispered.

“Okay.” Hazel’s heart warmed.

She hung up and saw Joshua deep in thought.

She asked strangely, “What’s wrong?”

“Your brother knows things about us,” Joshua said.

“How is it possible? My brother said clearly…” She didn’t finish what she was saying, she just suddenly stopped.

If Ronald really heard that someone had the same name, how could he not pay attention to it?

In the past two days, because of Vanessa, she and Joshua have been the center of gossip. Although Joshua had done his best to protect her, she knew that if Ronald went online to check, he would know that they shared more than the same name.

“No! I have to go back to school!” Hazel said in a panic.

“Hazel, calm down.” Joshua caught her shoulder and whispered, “If you went back to school now, aren’t you afraid to be surrounded by classmates?”

“I can’t care that much!” Hazel gritted his teeth. “My brother knows, and he will definitely inform my parents. My parents may show up in the next few days…”

“And then? Find a way to lie?” He whispered, “Hazel, this is not a good way to solve things.”

“What can I do?” Hazel muttered.

Joshua’s eyes lit up. “Since we can’t cover it up anymore, let’s go there together and take the initiative to admit everything.”

“You, do you mean… We clarify things?” Hazel’s knees became wobbly, and she didn’t think it was a good idea. “No, no, if my parents find out, they will be angry!”

“Even if you can cover it up, when you graduate, we will go see them. They will realize that they have been lying.” Joshua said,

“Do you think they won’t be angry?”

Hazel was afraid and shrugged her shoulders.

Joshua continued to persuade her, “Hazel, you will tell them in the end. This kind of thing happening means we should not wait any longer.”

“Okay…” Hazel was struggling. She found that as long as she was with Joshua, her brain seemed to be nothing more than something to fill her head, and she could not think at all. No matter what Joshua said, she felt that it made sense.

She couldn’t refuse him.

Taking a deep breath, she insisted, “But I still have to go back to school. The least I can do is not let my parents misunderstand and think that we have been living together. Classes recently began, I think I should move back to the dormitory today.”

Joshua said, taking a deep breath, “Hazel, don’t you want to know more about your parents? There are a lot of photos of them in the house. There are many gifts they left for you. If you go, they would be sad. .”

Hazel couldn’t refuse him, his reasoning made it really hard to refuse.

“Well, then I will move back later.” Hazel compromised. “When will we go back to see my parents?”

“The day after tomorrow,” he said, “First, we should take the next two days to prepare with gifts for your parents.”

“That fast?!” Hazel was surprised.

“This kind of thing, of course, the sooner, the better.” Joshua lifted lips. Hazel snarled and agreed.

After that, she gave Joshua a list of her parents’ preferences. Joshua prepared a lot of gifts for them according to the list.

As for Vanessa’s affairs, Hazel is somewhat concerned.

The whole thing was corrected, and all the reporters also clarified for them, but the headlines made Hazel feel very embarrassed.

For example, “Surprise! She did it to marry into the rich family!” “The Chinese people have cried that she treated her children like this!” “The rich family’s drama, the truth is this!”

The overwhelming shock and tears led a few of Hazel’s friends to constantly call to comfort her as if she had been framed.

Hazel had to explain everything numerous times.

The reporters unanimously reported that Wade beat Vanessa. Vanessa called the police, and the police arrested Wade. But Wade threatened Vanessa with video, and it didn’t take long for Vanessa to bail him out.

Hazel found out about that from Isaac Anderson. She couldn’t help but sigh. Whether Vanessa was good or not, Hazel did feel bad that she could not seem to get rid of Wade.

However, regardless if Vanessa was good or bad, it had nothing to do with her. Vanessa will pay for the wrong things she did from the beginning.

The next morning, Hazel was planning to go shopping with Joshua, but she received a phone call from her father.

Harry was in a bad mood, “Hazel, you told us that you live on campus. We are at the school, but why don’t we see you?”

 

Chapter 150: Don’t Say Too Much

Hazel felt like she had been hit by a truck. Her parents were at the school.

She was finished! She hasn’t had time to confess everything to her parents. She did not want them to find out like from someone else.

Hazel suddenly had a bad feeling.

She said with guilt, “I go out in the morning…”

“Don’t say too much, where are you now? We are coming to find you!” Harry interrupted her words unpleasantly.

Hazel checked her phone and looked at Joshua in a panic.

She really did not know what to do, and Joshua did not foresee them arriving so soon.

Joshua knew if Ronald suspected their relationship, he would definitely find a way to return home. He expected that the Crowe family would not come to see her until he returned.

Therefore, he set the date to see her family before Ronald had time to arrive.

He thought that time would give them enough time. It seemed that Ronald had returned home on a late-night flight and surprised them.

“Tell them the address,” Joshua whispered.

Hazel was somewhat reluctant, but there was no other way. She took a deep breath, “Okay.”

She told her father that she would send him a text with the address of where she was.

“Why did my father suddenly show up?” After sending the text message, Hazel asked.

“Not only your father, your brother probably returned home, but he and your mother are also probably with him.” Joshua speculated.

Hazel was very nervous suddenly. “Are you saying that I am not safe now?

Some people wanted to hurt me before… Then they are here to see me, is there any danger?”

“Hazel, don’t worry,” Joshua whispered comfortably.

“The thing is that Vanessa and Henry Anderson teamed up. Vanessa can take care of herself now. As for Henry Anderson, Grandpa Anderson has found a reason to send him away and is gone. While you are here, no matter it is, they have no ability to threaten your safety.”

“What about the Denmark family’s enemy?” Hazel was still not at ease.

“Besides us, no one knows that you are the daughter of the Denmark family,” Joshua whispered. “And, for your safety, I intend to keep it secret.”

Hazel understood, and this is indeed the best way to protect her. But she still looked unhappy, “but…”

“What’s wrong?” He gently held her hand.

“What if my parents don’t like you?” Hazel asked nervously.

“How come?” Joshua smiled. “If they really don’t like me, then I will try to make them like me.”

The taxi was driving towards Denmark Residence, the faces of the passengers became more and more unimpressed the closer they got.

They originally thought that Hazel was in a relationship with Joshua. They wondered if she was living with him? How far have they gone?

Hazel had always been very obedient, and she was also not out of bounds in terms of feelings. She was cautious to protect herself. Had all this

has changed because of Joshua? They started to hate Joshua even more.

The taxi stopped at Denmark Residence, Joshua and Hazel were waiting at the door.

What Joshua guessed was right, Hazel’s whole family came to see her. The three got out of the car, and Rachel went to Hazel’s side with a sullen face, grabbing her wrist, “Come home with me now!”

“Mom…” Hazel was stunned.

She really did not think that Rachel would take her away without saying anything.

Why did her parents not like Joshua? This clearly meant that they did not want to care about him. Their hate and rejection of Joshua were even worse than she thought.

She looked at Joshua in a panic, and her eyes were shouting out in fear.

Joshua’s eyebrows lifted, and he stepped forward, “Hazel…”

“Don’t talk to her!” Rachel said with anger and disrespect.

Joshua was somewhat embarrassed, he said. “Mrs. Crowe, there is not much room in the taxi. I was just afraid you may not have enough space…”

“You don’t have to worry about us, and we can squeeze in.” Harry was also unwelcoming.

Joshua was still not angry. After all, for the Crowe family, their well-behaved daughter was lying to them and living with a man, it was natural that they would be angry.

“Hazel has not packed her things yet,” Joshua said quietly.

“You want to take her home. It is better to wait for the things to be packed up. I will arrange for the car to send you?”

“Right, right!” Hazel hurriedly said, “My documents, wallets are all inside.

Mom, you need to let me go, I will pack up my things first…”

“Shut up.” Rachel softly said with annoyance, “Are you trying to make me angry?”

They didn’t want to have anything to do with Joshua, so they were rejecting him. However, Hazel was clearly standing by Joshua. Rachel really wanted to say that when girls grew up, they would not stay at home.

“I am telling the truth…” Hazel was wronged.

“Don’t worry. I will not stop you from taking away Hazel,” Joshua opened his mouth and said. “But at least, we should talk.”

Ronald nodded then Harry and Rachel reluctantly agreed.

The three men walked into Denmark Residence, and the maid brought out hot tea.

Harry didn’t even look at it. He said coldly, “Joshua, you are a rich and powerful man. You can get everything you want. Mr. President, Hazel was just a common girl, she has no special talents, she looks like most other girls her age and has an innocent personality. She can be easily tricked…”

Hazel was speechless and offended. The was the image of her that Harry had in his heart.

“You two are from different worlds, and you are not suitable at all. This relationship may be a new taste for you for a while, but her simple personality will cause her to be hurt for Hazel. Please let her go!” Harry finished the rest of the words with a look of bitterness.

“Hazel is a very good girl,” Joshua said, “And she is the person with who I want to spend the rest of my life.”

They all stared at Joshua, they did not expect him to say he wanted to marry Hazel.

His expression was calm, but they knew he was serious, he was not lying.

“No!” Rachel said firmly.

“Mom, why?” Hazel hurried to said.

“You dare to ask why?” Rachel said with annoyance, “Hazel, do you really dare? Neither your father nor I usually go online, so there are so many things, and you don’t tell us?”

“I am afraid that you would be worried…” Hazel whispered.

“Before, no matter what you have encountered, you would tell us!” He was even angrier. “It was this man who taught you to be bad so that you can deceive your family! I will never agree with you being with him!”
