Ch. 201..210

Chapter 201: Is There Any Misunderstanding?

Mathew’s face was red. He didn’t think that Susan would say that out loud.

Obviously, the people around him had been misled by her, and they looked at Mathew Carter with obvious contempt.

“Director Carter, the investment is up to the investor’s mind, you are too overbearing?”

“Miss Luna is right, the money is hers. It is her business to invest or not, or you can try other investors.”

***

Their comments were said tactfully, and a young man that had been following Susan was looking at him with contempt. “Hey, although you are looking for Luna to make movies, you had good taste, but I warn you, don’t beg in front of us!”

Mathew was so angry. These people called him beggar? If it weren’t because for Susan, who played him, he wouldn’t have been treated like that. Susan was not only not guilty but actually humiliated him in public.

He wanted to slap Susan, but he was representing Joshua-Hazel Pictures. He must remain calm and in control.

Mathew endured the anger. “Susan, please don’t feel too good about yourself. I am not looking for you today…”

“You are not looking for me, then what are you doing?” Susan sneered,

“Mathew, don’t you know who you are? This kind of reception isn’t for some director who is no longer famous. Did you really think that you could sneak in and become an uninvited guest? Please tell us which guest brought you, and let us open our eyes…”

Hazel looked from far away and had become angry. She did not expect that so many things happened in a short period of time. Almost all of the guests looked at the drama that Susan appeared to be causing; people were beginning to mock and sneer at Mathew.

Any person who would humiliate Mathew was to humiliate Joshua-Hazel Pictures and also humiliate her. Although she didn’t want to cause a scene, the situation could not be ignored.

Hazel was preparing to rush over. “Hazel, let me handle it,” said a familiar voice from behind her.

She relaxed and turned to look at Joshua with surprise.

Joshua walked by her indifferently and gave her a calm look.

“I see you secretly snuck in!” The man who had been talking harshly said again, “Where do you think Denmark’s cocktail party is, can a person like you come here? Security guard, take him out!”

“Mathew was the guest I invited, I am curious, who wanted to kick him out?” Joshua said in a deep voice.

His voice was not big, but the whole hall quieted down for a moment. And it seemed that even the temperature had dropped several degrees.

Of course, everyone recognized Joshua, but they did not think that Mathew was actually invented by Joshua? They were all surprised and open-mouthed, with an expression of disbelief.

A few people even went to the trash can blankly and pulled out the business card they threw away.

“Sir Denmark, sir, you are really good at telling a joke…” The man’s lips were slightly twitching, and his look was flustered. It was he who drove away from the guests of Joshua, and this was a crime that will kill him!

“I am a person good at making jokes?” Joshua’s eyes fell coldly on his body, and the man’s face was paler.

Joshua looked away toward Mathew and calmly reached out his hand. “Mathew, hello.”

“Sir Denmark, hello,” Mathew said excitedly.

He was humiliated, but because of his relationship, he would affect the Joshua-Joshua Pictures. He had never known what to do before, but now Joshua appeared, he helped him out. He must take advantage of this opportunity to explain everything clearly.

“Miss Edwards, you invested in my movie, and when it started to shoot, you suddenly un-invested so that the whole crew was affected. Although you are not kind, the crew has new investors. Please do not feel good about yourself in the future. Don’t think that I am coming to you to ask for help.”

“You…” Susan stared at him angrily. She was still stunned, and she did not understand why Joshua would invite Mathew. However, in the blink of an eye, he explained everything neatly.

Everyone looked at Susan strangely, everyone believed Mathew. After all, he was invited by Joshua, why bother to ask Susan for an investment?

Susan still wanted to argue, but something to shock everyone even more happened.

“Mathew, please forgive me for the matter just now,” Joshua said with an apology. “It is my negligence that made you feel embarrassed.”

Joshua actually apologized to Mathew? Everyone was paralyzed.

Although he said it with enough euphemism, they had humiliated Mathew, but Joshua apologized, they were sitting on pins and needles.

“Mathew, I am really sorry about the matter just now,” said one person near Mathew, who was guilty. “I was also deceived and didn’t know the truth…”

“Right, right, we shouldn’t have blamed you without knowing the truth…”

Those who have just humiliated Mathew began to apologize one by one.

One of them seemed to be thinking then suddenly said, “Mathew, you just said, you are from the Joshua-Hazel Pictures? Do you think we can talk?”

Everyone suddenly turned to him, how can these people be so sly? They quickly echoed, “Joshua, we can also talk about it. Our company also has plans to enter the entertainment industry …”

Within a few moments, all the people who originally surrounded Susan were all around Mathew, and they all had a strong interest in Joshua-Hazel Pictures. Mathew naturally knew what to do next.

The problem was solved, Joshua looked in the direction of Hazel, lifting his lips. Seeing no one paying attention to them, Hazel boldly blew him a kiss.

Susan was distraught, Joshua helped Mathew, which has made her very embarrassed, and then he and Hazel were blowing kisses at each other.

Is it still necessary for her to apologize to Mathew? She was annoyed with a cold sigh and left with anger. Her agent Mandy swiftly followed her and kept encouraging, “Luna, this cocktail party will open doors with a lot of people, which is very important for your development in…”

“What do you want me to stay here and be humiliated?” Susan was annoyed.

“I don’t know what Joshua meant! I have shown love to him many times, and I am still his cousin. But how can he not feel like this, humiliating me again and again?!”

“Is there any misunderstanding? Sir Denmark was not a stingy person!” Mandy also felt a little confused. She thought of something, suddenly said, “Luna, you said that it would be a little money to invest in Mathew’s movie?”

 

Chapter 202: Would It Be Like This?

The two had already left the banquet hall, and Susan suddenly stopped. She said mysteriously, “Yes, how did Joshua know Mathew Carter? Is it he who invested in Mathew Carter’s movie? But why did he do this, a movie with so little investment? How could there be a future?”

“Luna, do you think that is the case?” Mandy said. “After you pulled out because Mathew has been making trouble, Sir Denmark worried that something would really happen, so he invested?”

“… you are saying,” Susan asked in disbelief. “He did it for me?”

Mandy was somewhat speechless, and Susan’s words made her somewhat unsatisfactory.

After spending a lot of time with Susan, Mandy was very aware of her character. Susan was arrogant and very selfish, constantly feeling that everyone likes her and that their world should revolve around her. Joshua is undoubtedly the best among the men she met, so even if they have had an unpleasant experience, Susan still had fantasies about him.

If she doesn’t follow Susan’s words, she would definitely be angry with her. However, she really couldn’t see Joshua is doing that for Susan.

“I think, probably because your mother entrusted him to take care of you, so he helped to settle it,” Mandy said with uncertainty. “But he didn’t show you any respect, and I don’t know what it means…”

“Listen to yourself saying this, I feel more and more that he is for me.” Susan said with joy, “I don’t think he is going to embarrass me, just angry with me. After all, he helped me settle this, Mathew. It was a big problem that I still don’t appreciate, so he was angry. I didn’t expect him to have that attitude!”

“Would it be like this?” Mandy was stunned and asked without confidence. Was Susan too imaginative? She did not see what Joshua meant to Susan, but why did she say that? Was it like she had a deep love for Joshua?

“Why not?” Susan became happier and happier thinking, “My mom said that Joshua’s personality was indifferent and he did not get close to anyone. I think that he must be the kind man who will get things done secretly but not asking for thanks. Yes, ‘He is cute and arrogant,’ these words really suit him.”

Although Mandy Wilson was her agent, she thought it was somewhat crazy. “But don’t you say that he has a girlfriend?”

Susan’s face suddenly became ugly, and she sneered. “What girlfriend, do you read any news about the woman online? Joshua does not want others to know her existence. I think she is a plaything for a while!”

“You don’t mind?” Mandy looked at her in surprise.

“What do I mind? Joshua is such a rich and excellent man. There are a few women around him, and that is normal,” Susan said. “But as long as I become Mrs. Denmark, there are many ways to get rid of those women!”

Mandy had no way, and Susan was wholly immersed in her own fantasy. She could not persuade her to change her mind, it would only make Susan hate her.

“Then we have to go back to the reception now?” Mandy asked helplessly.

“Why are we going back?” Susan lifted his eyebrows. “He has a temper. Can’t I have a temper? Men, all need to be taught a lesson! Let’s go, I have to leave him alone for a while!”

Mandy was utterly speechless. How did she work for someone who acted like a maniac? However, even so, she had to hold her tongue and not offend her.

They were about to leave when a middle-aged man stopped them.

“Miss Edwards,” the middle-aged man said with some restraint. “Are you leaving? I just talked to you…”

Susan saw him and become furious. She said with annoyance, “Go away! You unknown directors are suckers, stalking others to ask for investment all day long?!”

The middle-aged man’s face suddenly changed, but Susan walked past him angrily. Mandy kept up and whispered, “Luna, if you don’t want to invest, just refuse, it is easy to offend people… …”

“Offend people?” Susan’s footsteps were fast, but her voice was not low like she deliberately wanted the man to hear her. “I haven’t said that he deceives people! I thought he was a famous director. But he was an animation director! The cartoons are all for children, can he do movies? He has the nerve to ask me to invest? He really liked other people’s money, was it so easy to be so deceived?”

Susan walked faster, and her voice quieted down. The middle-aged man was trembling with her anger. He returned to the banquet hall with some desperation. When he walked in, he was caught by Mathew. “Danny, where did you go? I have been looking for you.”

“I went to the bathroom.” Danny Hall said in a confused tone.

“I want to take you to meet someone.” Mathew took him to see Hazel.

People apologized to Mathew and asked for his business card. Some interested people also talked with him for a longer time, but for these guests, the person they are more interested in was Joshua.

Hazel was hiding in the corner to drink juice, secretly looking at the guests who talked with Mathew. Seeing that Mathew was leading Danny over to her, she smiled and said, “Director, this is your friend?”

“Yes, Miss Crowe,” Mathew said. “This is my good friend Danny Hall. Our experience is similar.”

The two greeted each other, Mathew continued to say. “This is Miss Crowe.” He turned to Hazel and said, “He made an animated film, and it will be released within a month, but now he has no funds at all to carry out the work…”

Hazel was stunned. It seemed that Mathew wanted her to invest, and her heart was somewhat hesitant.

She had been spending so much money on everything, so when she heard the word invest, she became fearful.

Danny Hall noticed the look of rejection in Hazel’s eyes, and he felt even worse. However, he said politely, “Miss Crowe, I know about the worry, the market for animated films is not good now, and you are worried that the investment money will be lost. This work was completed in five years by our team. I have confidence in it. I hope you can understand it before deciding whether to invest.”

His humble and polite attitude surprised Hazel and made her a little curious.

“Okay,” Hazel nodded. “I would like to get some more information about the situation as soon as possible and then give you an answer.”

“Thank you.” Danny Hall politely thanked but did not seem to have any hope.

 

Chapter 203: Investing Is Okay

Mathew took Danny to meet some other guests, and Hazel went to the balcony to get some fresh air.

The sound of footsteps came up behind, and Hazel couldn’t help but smile softly. “Joshua, you are the center of the cocktail party, why are you here?”

Joshua was somewhat amazed. Hazel did not look back but could actually tell it was him just by his footsteps.

He stood by her side and said calmly, “I miss you.”

Hazel’s cheeks were red, and she whispered, “We just saw each other…”

Joshua opened his mouth sorrowfully. “We can see each other, but we have to pretend not to know each other.”

Hazel chuckled. “That’s because of the promise. You are so attractive, if I stand by your side, it is almost like standing in the spotlight.”

Joshua couldn’t really deny anything, and many people know him at the cocktail party. If he and Hazel appeared too close, there would be some people who would have the wrong impression.

“Don’t say that. What happened with Mathew just now?” he asked faintly.

Hazel simply told him about it. She looked at Joshua, “What do you think? Should I invest?”

“Investing is okay,” Joshua said. “You only need to be responsible for the cost of the movie. It will be released next month, so you can save the waiting time and see the benefits in one month. However, the key to the problem lies in the quality of the film and whether it is in line with the market.”

Hazel nodded blankly. “I understand. If I can arrange it, would you see if it would work? I could take an off the children from the orphanage to see the movie and find out if they like it. If they like it, I will invest it.”

“This is a way, but the other side should agree, too.” Joshua sighed.

“I will try my best to communicate,” Hazel said.

“If you leave it for Mathew to ask, there should be no problem.” Joshua proposed.

Hazel’s face was hesitant, and she seemed to be thinking.

“What’s wrong?” he said with some surprise. “Mathew is good. He represents the film industry, and it gathers attention. Moreover, I think he is quite responsible.”

“But he is too responsible,” Hazel said and spat out his tongue, “Danny is now treating me like a savior, and I have set myself up! He is too respectful to me, and now he is trying to help me make money. I really can’t get used to it.”

“Hazel, you are such a good partner, they couldn’t ask for any better.” Joshua chuckled.

“Besides, you did save him at the lowest point in his life. He is grateful, and it is normal. Wait a while, and he can be able to get himself back on his feet.”

“Yeah.” Hazel nodded.

Hazel decided to confirm the quality of the film before making any commitments. Danny Hall has initially been unwilling to do it, but when he heard that it would be orphans who would be watching the movie, he finally changed his mind.

Hazel and the children went to watch the movie, the quality of the film was outstanding, and it was suitable for all ages. It was possible that it would profit at the box office, so she invested five million.

Hazel got a headache just thinking that she had spent so much money and not guaranteed a return on her investment. However, there was one thing that made her happy, Joshua-Hazel Pictures was officially open.

***

On an opening day, Hazel rushed to Joshua-Hazel Pictures early in the morning. She originally planned to have a small ribbon-cutting ceremony, it was really only for self-amusement and to bless the company with good luck.

When Hazel arrived at the company, she toured the entire floor again. Although she had been there before, it was different now that the company had opened. It was a simple office, but everything was complete.

After looking around, Hazel walked into her office filled with excitement. Almost as soon as she sat down, Mathew walked in and took the initiative to say, “Miss Crowe, don’t worry, the ribbon-cutting ceremony is ready…”

“I know, I believe that you can handle it,” Hazel said with emotion. “I just came to see.”

She had some unreal feeling about the entire venture, but looking at the company, she was as excited as a child in a candy store.

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from outside the door.

“What happened?” Hazel lifted her eyebrows strangely.

“I will go and check,” Mathew said blankly, but just as he opened the door, he saw Susan coming in with an arrogant look.

Hazel looked at her unexpectedly, and Susan was surprised. “How come you are here?”

Not waiting for Hazel to answer, Susan walked to the sofa and sat down.

She sneered, “I understand, I heard that you are his assistant now, are you working for Joshua? How? You feel bad about taking his money without doing anything?”

“I am not working for Joshua!” Hazel said coldly.

“Oh, do you want to say that you are here because this company is yours?”

Susan’s eyes were even more scornful. “Hazel, when you leave Joshua,

what can you do?”

Hazel was furious, but Susan’s words and hostility made her see that Susan was a woman who was unworthy of attention. Even if Hazel argued with her, it would be a waste of time.

It seemed that Susan did not know Hazel’s position within Joshua-Hazel Pictures, which was good. It meant that Susan would think things through and not create too much trouble.

Hazel’s silence made Susan become prouder, and she thought that she had guessed right.

Mathew said with some annoyance, “Miss Crowe, she is…”

“Mathew,” Hazel shook her head indifferently. “You don’t have to say so much too irrelevant, people.”

Mathew was still very angry with Susan, but he snorted with disappointment and finally tolerated it.

“Mathew,” Susan raised her chin and showed a proud look. “I think Joshua-Hazel Pictures should be Denmark’s investment, my cousin Joshua entrusted you to manage it?”

Hazel shook her head slightly at Mathew, and Mathew said coldly, “There is nothing to tell you about our company!”

“Whether you tell me or not, anyway, I was not planning to come to talk to you,” Susan said coldly. “If I have something to say, I will find you…”

Mathew interrupted her words with disappointment. “Miss Edwards, if you have anything to say, please register at the front desk. I will ask the front desk to reply to you, with a meeting time. Okay, I am swamped. Please leave!”

Seeing that Mathew was so arrogant, Susan suddenly became angry. “Mathew, you don’t act like this! Do you think you got the investment of Joshua so you can make the film and run a company? I will tell you, that is what Joshua did for me!”

Chapter 204: Let Her Play

Hazel was shocked, Susan had a very vivid imagination.

Although Susan misunderstood Joshua investing in Mathew’s movies, she had not gone too far. She had the nerve to say that Joshua did it all for her.

“You are really not ashamed…” When I tried to speak, the words would not come out. Hazel realized that she was too shocked even to say the words.

“Hazel, I think you are jealous?” Susan looked at her proudly. “You run around for Joshua all day, didn’t you think about it? Why did he suddenly invest in Mathew’s movie?”

“Why?” Just after asking it, Hazel discovered that she was just stupid and she was misled by Susan. It is her who invested in Mathew and opened the company. Did anyone know the story better than her? However, she was very curious why Susan was so selfish.

“You want to know? You ask Joshua,” Susan was prouder. “See if he will tell you!”

Hazel was speechless, and she shouldn’t waste time on Susan.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Hazel asked, frowning with disappointment.

Seeing Hazel was upset, Susan was even happier. She ignored Hazel, but she looked at Mathew.

“Mathew, let’s cooperate. I am very optimistic about Joshua-Hazel Pictures. How much money did Joshua invest in you? Although I don’t have as much money as him, now I am very famous. I can take the initiative to be signed by your small company. If you count my technology share, you can be sure that I am worth hundreds of millions of dollars…”

Hazel did not know her well when they met before, but she had learned what kind of person Susan was. Joshua told her that the Edwards family spoiled Susan. However, Hazel thought that she was not spoiled, she was just senseless.

In fact, Hazel wanted to call her a senseless woman to her face, but Susan was ambitious, despite her narcissism. The company that she started with great effort had just started to take shape, and it has not yet had time to develop. Susan was just taking the initiative to take over the fruits of her labor by signing a contract?

Hazel was really happy that Joshua supported her when the company was established, but the trouble found her.

“Director Carter, how about it?” Susan said with confidence, “Is it necessary to prepare a contract?”

“Sorry,” Hazel said indifferently, “The standard of signing artists of Joshua-Hazel Pictures was very high, as for you, you cannot meet the signing standards.”

“Did I ask you?” Susan growled.

“Miss Crowe is saying the same thing that I would say,” Mathew said.

“Mathew! You actually listen to her?” Susan showed an incredible attitude, and she roared. “You really don’t understand what the situation is now? Hazel is not the spokesperson of the Denmark Group! I am!”

“Susan, let me clarify two things.” Hazel stood up calmly and looked at her condescendingly. “First, I am not the spokesperson of Denmark Group. Second, Joshua-Hazel Pictures is my company, and it has no relationship with Denmark Group!”

Susan was shocked. How could it be possible that Joshua-Hazel Pictures actually had nothing to do with the Denmark Group?

“Please leave, don’t get in the way, okay?” Hazel said indifferently.

Susan suddenly became angry due to shame, “Hazel! What kind of word game are you playing? You said that the Joshua-Hazel Pictures has nothing to do with the Denmark Group and did not say that it had nothing to do with Joshua. My cousin Joshua invested in private, right?”

“Susan, I think you should not waste all your talent as an actress,” Hazel couldn’t help but twitch. “You should be a screenwriter, and this is more suitable for you! Really, your imagination is a big breakthrough. It should be well used.”

“You…” Susan wanted to stand up and scream at Hazel, but she sneered at and glared at her, “Hazel, I think you are afraid, so I deliberately misled Mathew.”

Susan looked at Mathew with a threatening stare in her eyes.

Mathew had no respect for Susan. If Hazel were not present, he would be tempted to teach her a real lesson for playing him.

“Miss Crowe said what I should have,” Mathew endured with anger. “Susan, you are very unwelcome here, please leave!”

“Mathew! You dare to treat me like this?” Susan pointed in his face and growled. “I tell you, I have already figured out who you are going to invite to cut the ribbon. Believe it or not, if I make a call, they won’t show up! When the ceremony is destroyed by her, how will she explain to Joshua?”

Susan pulled her phone out and began to dial a number.

“You… despicable!” Hazel was even angrier. Mathew was about to reach out and grab Susan’s cell phone.

The people Mathew invited had been local celebrities, and they had a personal relationship with him. However, Susan had a powerful background, and naturally, people did not want to offend her. If she made the call, the ribbon-cutting ceremony could be a disaster.

“Let her play,” Hazel said.

Mathew hesitated, but looking at Hazel’s calm look, he eventually retracted his hand.

Susan sneered and made a few calls. No sooner had Susan hung up with each of them than when Mathew’s phone began to ring. The calls were the invitees canceling because something important came up.

“Mathew, you regret it now?” Susan said proudly.

Looking at her facial expression, Mathew hated her so much. He was shaking with anger.

“Ha!” Hazel suddenly laughed out.

Susan looked at her strangely. How could Hazel still laugh out loud in this kind of situation?

“Susan, I will give you ten minutes. You call the people back. How could you tell them not to come? You will find a way to persuade them to come, right?” Hazel said calmly, but there was an undoubted toughness in her voice.

Seeing Hazel looking serious, Susan was afraid. She snarled angrily, “Hazel, I see that your brain is confused? If you want to beg, you should show me a better attitude!”

“You don’t have to worry about my brain.” Hazel looked at her with confidence.

“But I think that a star who doesn’t care about her image at all even after she threatened, snarled, and acted with malicious intent, has absolutely no brain. If that was all known by others, do you think you would still find work in the film industry and have fans?”

“Even if you tell everyone, no one will believe you!” Susan said calmly.

“Really?” Hazel said with relief. “But if it were a video, would people still not believe it? Susan, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that there is a monitoring camera in this office. Are you surprised? “

 

Chapter 205: You Wouldn’t Dare

Susan looked around the office in horror and saw the camera in the corner.

Her face became pale as if she had seen a ghost. Then she said calmly, “Even if there is a camera monitor, what can it do? I don’t believe that others can watch the monitor screen and hear what I said?”

“They can’t see it, but they can hear it.” Hazel pressed a button on the phone, and Susan’s arrogant voice came from the speaker. “Although I don’t have as much money as him, now I am very…”

Susan’s face filled with dread, and she wanted to attack. She was not willing to bow down to Hazel, she clenched her teeth and said, “Even if you have a recording and upload it to the Internet, I can guarantee that it will not spread!”

“Susan, you are so…” Hazel thought carefully about what words she should use and softly said, “You are so innocent, how have you survived for so long?

Although you have been in the country only a short time, you have offended many people. I just simply hand it to them, and they would be happy to let it spread.”

“You wouldn’t dare?” Susan panicked.

What Hazel said was right, she had offended many people, and they had been exposing her behavior. Her team was competent, though, and had been covering up the majority of her actions quickly. Therefore, her reputation on the Internet was not the best, but it could have been worse.

Susan knew things were different, and if the negative publicity fell into the wrong hands, she would not be able to control it.

Hazel sneered with a chuckle, and she looked at the time on the phone, said indifferently, “You still have seven minutes.”

Susan was more flustered, but she growled, “Hazel! If you bully me like this, my cousin will hate you!”

“Six minutes.” Hazel still looked indifferent.

“You…!” Seeing that Hazel was serious about the situation, Susan said furiously, “You delete the recordings and videos first, then I will call!”

“Oh, five minutes,” Hazel said, “I have called a few people in such a short time. Will you be able to do it? I guess I can still sort things out and sell it to those who were offended by you ……”

Hazel’s attitude was apparent, and she simply was not going to compromise with Susan. Susan couldn’t keep going anymore. She quickly took out her mobile phone and said in a panic. “Wait, I will make a call now!”

Susan started making calls as fast as her fingers could dial the numbers.

Mathew stood off to the side in shock. He had dealt with Susan, and so he knew how arrogant and unreasonable she was. Could Hazel really make Susan be obedient?

Five minutes later, Susan finally finished the call. This was the first time she has suffered a loss, and she hated Hazel.

“I called, and now you should fulfill your promise,” Susan endured with anger. “Delete the recordings and videos!”

Hazel nodded. “So, to express my sincerity, I will delete the recording first. As for the surveillance video…”

“Hazel, you played me!” Susan’s face was angry and distorted.

Susan was annoyed and began to rush at her, Hazel looked at the monitor uncaringly. Susan glared at her, but she could not do anything more.

“How could I play you?” She smiled lightly. “I didn’t say I would delete it or not. Who is to say that if I delete it, you don’t make more calls? Don’t worry, when the ribbon cutting of Joshua-Hazel Pictures is over, it will be deleted.”

“I don’t believe you!” Susan growled. “If you don’t keep your promise?”

“Then you will suffer a huge loss.” Hazel looked at her with a smile.

Susan was stunned and couldn’t speak. Truly, if Hazel did not keep her promise, Susan could only wait silently and accept the loss. Hazel was playing hardball and was not going to bargain.

“Miss Edwards, please leave,” Mathew said. He said impatiently. “We are very busy today, so don’t mess things up.”

Susan was even more annoyed, but this is the first time she has suffered such a big loss. Hazel had played her, and she looked down on her even more than before. Also, a director who begged her relentlessly began to treat her with arrogance, how could she continue to endure being treated that way?

“Busy? How can you be busy?” Susan sneered. “Isn’t it a show for you to watch? Do you think there will be important people coming here? Mathew, you think you can have an unknown actor make this ribbon-cutting ceremony become a high profile event? You are really deceiving yourself…”

Her words had not been finished, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the office.

A female employee was panicked, she pushed open the door of the office and said, “Something has happened, Director Mathew. There are a lot of people here for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. We do not have enough staff to handle it…”

Mathew was prepared to reprimand her for rushing into the office without knocking, but after hearing what she said, he was too shocked to really speak. He finally managed to say, “A lot of people are here? Who is coming?”

“It’s really a drama!” Susan snorted.

“What is going on? Some famous people are coming, and who they are is going to scare you!” The employee said, without giving Susan a chance to speak. “There is Denmark Group’s president Joshua Denmark and the Anderson family’s Isaac Anderson, Chairman of T Entertainment, the Ministry of Culture for the City…”

Listening to the list of names she reported, almost everyone was a very important person. Mathew was in shock and couldn’t speak, Susan was even more jealous and hateful. Her face was twisted with rage.

Since Joshua was attending, others would naturally follow his lead. Susan was furious, she couldn’t understand why, even if Joshua invested in the film industry, why did he needed to make it such an ordeal?

“First, you need to find a few people and go to borrow some chairs,” Hazel arranged in an orderly way. “Director, you contact the ceremonial company, ask them to arrange for a few more hostesses. And…”

Hazel continued to list orders as she walked out of her office.

Susan caught up with her, “Hazel!”

Hazel’s face was cold, and even when she was not busy, she did not have the time or patience to deal with Susan. She was busy now, trying to solve the unanticipated crowd. She was in no mood to deal with her.

“I will give you ten seconds to get out of my sight!” Hazel opened her mouth coldly, “Otherwise, I will release the video at the ribbon-cutting ceremony!”

“You…” Susan waited anxiously for her.

“Ten.”

Susan heard Hazel continuing to count down, Susan gritted her teeth and ran towards the elevator, but it did not arrive immediately. Susan could not listen to Hazel count anymore, she rushed to the stairs.

 

Chapter 206: I’m Doing You A Favor

“Miss Crowe, you are so clever,” Mathew said with full admiration.

“If you are not afraid of someone like her, she will be afraid of you,” Hazel said calmly and then continued to tell them what they needed to do.

She felt like she was going crazy. There were a lot of guests, and many things needed to be re-organized, so her orders were quickly executed.

After contacting the good ceremonial company, Mathew rushed to the scene of the ribbon-cutting ceremony with Hazel.

In fact, their previous plans were really for self-amusement, and they did not expect too many people to attend, so they were holding the ceremony in the square below the company, but now the square was already crowded.

Mathew was shocked. He thought that the employee had just exaggerated, he did not expect to see so many people and more still arriving.

“Miss Crowe, did you know that this would happen?” Mathew looked at her with surprise.

“If I knew that it would be like this, wouldn’t I have prepared more?” Hazel said with shock and lack of strength, “Mathew, go on, you represent Joshua-Hazel Pictures.”

Mathew had not even made it to the square when people started talking to him. He greeted them with enthusiasm, he had met a lot of them at the cocktail party.

Hazel had already left, and no one had thought of her. Mathew was the representative of Joshua-Hazel Pictures, he was very experienced with these situations, so Hazel did not hesitate to trust him. She pretended to be a staff member to help maintain order at the scene.

She saw Joshua from far away, he was in the first row on the stage, Hazel couldn’t stop herself from bursting into tears. She hid in the corner and sent him a text message. “Are you kidding me? Time to turn around!”

Joshua took out his mobile phone and couldn’t help but smile. “I am doing you a favor.”

Hazel was distraught. She texted without thinking, “I thought you would only send a representative. Who thought that you would come in person? You are not here to join in the ceremony, it is obviously to come to mess with me!”

Joshua’s smile was gentler. Even though the text, he could feel Hazel’s anger.

“You are dealing with it well? Hazel, you are competent.”

Looking at his text message, Hazel’s anger dissipated a lot. Joshua complimented her? Hazel couldn’t help but hold her hot cheeks and smiled.

“You always say good words to me.” Hazel shyly replied.

“Hazel, I have never charmed you, and I am telling the truth.” Joshua lifted his lips. He had expected that his arrival would make Hazel unprepared, so he was already ready to help. But he hadn’t taken any action yet, and it is almost solved by Hazel herself.

Hazel was happier and more confident. Joshua had given her his praise.

She was trying to send back a text message to Joshua, but she suddenly received a call from Mathew.

Hazel’s frowned slightly. Her eyes swept over the crowd, and she soon found Mathew.

“What’s wrong?” Hazel asked.

“Miss Crowe, something has happened,” Mathew said. “The guests we asked to cut the ribbons just called me and said that they are stuck on the road. They cannot make it here in time…”

“Are they stuck on the road?” Hazel was surprised, and in a blink of an eye, she understood what was going on.

Susan first called them and asked them not to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, although she called again and took back her previous words, they were still worried that attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony may offend Susan.

The guests had accepted the invitation, making it hard to refuse to attend, so they made up an excuse to deliberately arrive late.

“Then change people!” Hazel said coldly.

“I thought so too, but who can we change to?” Mathew said, “I don’t recognize some of these people. Who should I invite? What if I can’t invite them? what should I do if I offend people?”

“Give me a minute, I will confirm the list.” Hazel hangs up the phone and sent a text message directly to Joshua.

Joshua glanced in her direction and then picked out a few names from the list of guests and sent a text to Hazel.

“What are you doing?” Isaac, who was sitting next to Joshua, looked at his cell phone with some curiosity.

Joshua turned over the phone and said calmly, “Nothing.”

“There seems to be something happening,” Isaac said with a certain look.

“Smiling and sending text messages? So happy, I think, saying some sweet words?”

“You know it, and you still ask,” Joshua said. “You can’t understand this as a single man.”

Isaac looked hurt, and like he was going to cry, he couldn’t help but feel bad. He knew that Joshua had always been able to show his love at any time since he had Hazel but for him to take the opportunity to remind Isaac of his life. He realized that he shouldn’t talk to him about relationships.

“Where is Hazel?” Isaac looked for her in the crowd. “You are saying that this company is hers?”

“Well, we are working together,” Joshua said seriously.

Isaac ignored him, he was angry. It seems as soon as they spoke of anything, Joshua was bragging about his relationship.

When it was time, the host walked on to the stage, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony began. Hazel looked at the guests in the audience with mixed emotions, but her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

The ceremony went smoothly, the guests and the hosts were both happy. Hazel stood in the last row, watching with relief.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind her, and Hazel turned around to see what the commotion was.

A few people were standing, watching with a doubtful expression.

“Is this the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Joshua-Hazel Pictures?”

Hazel’s eyes sunk slightly, and she recognized that they were the original ribbon-cutting guests. They are the ones who pretend to be trapped in a traffic jam.

“How is it possible?” another person whispered. “We deliberately delayed arriving for so long. Their ribbon cutting should have ended a long time ago? And you look at these guests, and we usually don’t see them. Even if Mathew knows them, how did he manage to invite them?”

“Yes,” someone added. “I think it must be the ribbon-cutting of another company. This was definitely a big company…”

Hazel turned and walked to them.

“Excuse me, Miss! May I ask,” several people hurriedly called Hazel? They asked some awkward questions. “Which company is holding the ribbon-cutting ceremony here?”

“It’s Joshua-Hazel Pictures,” Hazel smiled shallowly. “You are coming to the ribbon-cutting ceremony? But I’m sorry, you have…”

 

Chapter 207: She Is A Very Powerful Woman

Hazel’s gaze swept over them, she said slowly. “I’m sorry, you have arrived a little too late, the ribbon-cutting ceremony is over.”

As if he had heard her, the host announced the end of the ceremony from the stage. Everyone in the audience stood up and began to applaud enthusiastically.

Hazel had prepared some small gifts, which were now being distributed to the guests. Everyone saw that Joshua sincerely accepted a small gift, so others also accepted them.

The guests who were in attendance for the ceremony did not appear to be in a rush to leave, and the guests who arrived late seemed to be remorseful.

When Mathew called to urge them to arrive on time, they did not take him seriously, thinking that he was just bragging. However, he was not, and he had a group of people approaching him to shake his hand and talk.

If the guests had arrived earlier, they could have cut the ribbon on the stage, and it would have given them the opportunity to meet a lot of celebrities that would be surrounding them, but it was too late.

They noticed that Hazel was about to walk away, so they hurried to stop her. One of them said, “We know Director Mathew, we are very good friends. Can you tell him that we are here?”

Hazel gave them a strange look; these people had a lot of nerve!

They called and pretended that they were trapped in a traffic jam and not able to come, at that time, they did not remember that Mathew was their friend.

She whispered quietly. “Sorry, I am not an employee of Joshua-Hazel Pictures.”

She did not lie, after all, she was the boss of the company. Not saying anything more, Hazel turned around and left.

She looked far away at Joshua, who people surrounded, and she had no way to get his attention. Hazel lifted her eyebrows when she saw Susan.

Hazel had a headache, but she knew that she had to deal with Susan, so she started walking toward her.

Susan also saw Hazel, but she did not want to escape, but hostilely glared at her.

“How are you still here?” Hazel asked strangely.

“I…” Susan was trying to speak. Suddenly, her face changed, and she was unhappy. “You had some problem? A few days ago, I said that I would not invest in your cartoon. How do you still keep talking to me?”

Hazel glimpsed behind her and immediately realized that Susan was not talking to her. She turned back and saw Danny standing there with a nasty expression.

“I am not here to see you!” He replied with anger.

Susan rolled her eyes in contempt. “Damn! You thought I didn’t know that you guys are so mad…”

“He really didn’t come to see you,” Hazel interrupted her indifferently. “He came to see me.”

Susan reacted as if she was slapped in the face, her face was burning.

She actually… once again, she spoke the wrong words?

She felt so much hatred. It was obvious that she expected everyone to want to talk to her. Why were so many people abandoning her since Hazel appeared?

“Yes, Miss Crowe, I am looking for you to talk about the movie,” Danny did not look at Susan and then said, “But I don’t want to bother you. If you are busy, then we can talk later.”

“Good.” Hazel nodded. “You go to find Mathew and wait for me.”

Danny left, and Susan seemed to understand something. She said with amazement and anger, “Hazel! Are you investing in his movie?”

“This has nothing to do with you,” Hazel said indifferently.

“How can it have nothing to do with me?” Susan grinned, “They obviously came to me at first! How do you like to have my things? My movie, my investment, and my cousin!”

Hazel really thought that Susan was completely crazy. “Are you sure you shouldn’t see a doctor about your mind?”

“… you!” Susan gritted his teeth.

“Say!” she asked impatiently. “What are you waiting for here?”

“Of course, waiting for you to delete the video and recording!” Susan angered.

“Oh,” Hazel took out his mobile phone. “You don’t say anything, and I almost forgot.”

She found the recording and deleted it.

“And surveillance videos!” Susan urged.

“Do not worry, and the monitoring camera was not turned on,” Hazel said.

“You… You played me!” Susan was angry.

Hazel shrugged indifferently. She was just about to leave, but she caught a chilly glow in the eyes of Susan.

“Oh, yes,” Hazel said, “Although the monitoring camera was not on, if you dare to do something that is directed at me in the future, maybe it will be on.”

“Hazel, you lied to me!” Susan was crazy.

“I didn’t lie to you, the monitoring was not on,” Hazel blinked. “But believe it or not, it is your business.”

Susan clenched his fist. “You dare to threaten me!”

“You said it, and it is true.” Hazel smiled, turned around, and left.

The monitoring camera in her office had not been set up for recording since they just opened, but according to Susan, she would never believe her.

The Sword of Damocles was hanging over Susan’s head, and she did not want to create trouble. After she watched Hazel leave, Susan knew she had no choice. She went to her car and immediately called her mother.

When Susan was done crying and complaining to her mother, Sunny called Joshua.

“… Joshua, Susan is not sensible, you should teach her a lesson. But your girlfriend threatened her with a video, this has gone too far. Susan really likes being an actress. She will ruin Susan’s dreams!”

Joshua listened to her indifferently and calmly said, “Auntie, I think there must be some misunderstanding, Hazel is not such a person, I believe her.”

“You…” Sunny was frustrated. She saw that Joshua was not going to consider any other side of the story, he would only accept and believe Hazel.

“Well, don’t forget that you promised me to take care of her,” Sunny said with a deep breath. He said, “If you say that Hazel is not such a person, then she will naturally not release any videos in the future. I don’t believe her, but I believe in you.”

Joshua hung up and took a deep breath. His Auntie Sunny was tough to deal with, and in a simple sentence, she put all responsibility on him.

Hazel was sitting across from him. After talking with Danny about his movie, she snuck into Joshua’s car to go to dinner with him.

“Joshua, what kind of person would you say is Sunny?” she asked curiously.

“She is a very powerful woman,” Joshua said.

 

Chapter 208: It’s Really Amazing

“It’s really amazing?” Hazel was somewhat in disbelief.

“Yes,” Joshua nodded. “She was married in Country D, she was all alone. Her husband was the heir to his family business, but there was a fierce fight. His inheritance rights were in jeopardy. But it only took Sunny less than two years to help her husband to secure his position and make others respect him.”

Hazel was even more surprised, and she was somewhat puzzled. “How can you have a daughter who is such an idiot?”

In front of Joshua, she does not have to worry about anything, and she really could not say anything nice about Susan.

“After Sunny got married, she rarely had any contact with the Denmark family. I don’t know any exact details of the situation.” Joshua said, “But I heard from my mother that Sunny is very proud of her daughter.”

“That is really good to know.” Hazel nodded in agreement. “But I don’t think she will not bother me for some time.”

“You should still be careful,” Joshua frowned slightly. “Susan hasn’t suffered from too much loss, but she was played by you several times since she arrived. I don’t think she will give up.”

“You are right, and a gun is easier to hide from, a hidden arrow is harder to defend,” Hazel muttered. “Although she was frightened by me, she certainly couldn’t swallow this, maybe she would secretly do something. However, according to her IQ…”

When he saw Hazel’s disgusted look, Joshua smiled. “She is not worthy of being afraid of, but the people around her will always be smart. You haven’t said, how does it feel to be a big boss?”

“It hurts, and I feel happy,” Hazel burst into tears. “I want to find an assistant now, Joshua, do you have any recommendations?”

“Is it not okay to use Jaxson?” he asked.

“Jaxson is capable, but I can’t direct him. After all, he is your person.” Hazel said sadly.

“What? My person…”Joshua laughed. “Let’s do it, let him work with you for a few months, and I will bring you a handy assistant. As for the candidate, there is one person I can recommend to you.”

“Who?” Hazel’s eyes lit up. If she had Jaxson with her, she would be safer. After all, she now had an ‘enemy,’ and if someone were to frame her, she would have no time to cry. If Joshua were recommending a solution, she would not have to worry about things.

“Sharon Davis,” he said.

“Your girl?” She was somewhat surprised.

Joshua lifted his lips, “Jealous?”

“Why should I be jealous?” Hazel stuck her tongue out. “If you would like to ask her if she is interested in being my assistant, I will pay her a good salary.”

“You won’t worry about it?” His eyes flashed through, upset.

“Of course, I won’t worry about it,” Hazel said with a smile. “And I can tell that she is really not interested in you. Anyway, I have to write an exam soon so I will be going back to school tomorrow.”

If Hazel was going back to school, would his well being suffer again? Joshua frowned unhappily, “Your injury…”

“I have already asked the doctor. My injury is completely recovered.” Hazel interrupted him in advance.

“You are changing like this, and it is very troublesome,” Joshua said quietly.

“You are right,” Hazel stared into space. She suddenly blinked. “I will be living at school before graduation, and I would not go elsewhere.”

Joshua looked at her with sadness, she was clearly determined. Hazel couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Well, don’t frown, I am going to graduate soon, you are not in a hurry.”

Joshua’s eyes flashed, and he finally nodded.

***

Sunny Joseph called Susan and told her about the conversation with Joshua.

Susan was unhappy, and she quickly said, “Mom! What happened to Joshua? Is he being cheated or what? He believed in Hazel! You didn’t tell him Hazel was using his money and investing in rubbish? That bitch is simply there for his money!”

“I told him, and Joshua does not care,” Sunny said indifferently.

“How could this be?” Susan bit his teeth. “Mom, what should I do? I can’t bear this!”

“You must bear it even if you think you can’t! Susan, you stop! How many times have you said that Joshua is not something you can provoke? You need to remember it, you remember it!” Sonny’s voice was severe.

“No, he is interested in me!” Susan rushed to defend herself.

“Oh.” Sunny seemed to have heard a joke, and her voice was full of mockery, “Why do you say that?”

“I… I won’t tell you, you won’t support me!” Susan was anxious. “Mom, if you don’t help me, then I will try in my own way. I still don’t believe it, I will not lose to a woman who is weaker than me in every aspect!”

Susan hung up the phone, but she did not develop an idea on how to deal with Hazel.

“Luna,” Mandy walked into her room. “Sir Hamilton just called you and wants to meet with you…”

“I won’t meet with him! I am not in the mood!” Susan said irritably. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and quickly said, “Wait! You said, Sir Hamilton?”

“… Yes,” Mandy said with fear. Since she went to Joshua-Hazel Pictures to pick up Susan, Susan’s mood has been out of control, so she was walking on eggshells for fear of angering Susan.

“Okay, I will do it.” Susan changed her mind. She took out her mobile phone and asked him to meet at a coffee shop.

Ricard Hamilton rushed to the cafe, and he was delighted that Susan had arrived ahead of time. He had never had someone waiting on him before, and he was very happy. He quickly took out a box and handed it to Susan.

“Susan, this is my gift to you.” Susan opened the box, there was a beautiful diamond necklace inside, she was delighted.

“Not bad.” Susan handed the necklace to him. “Don’t you want to help me on it?”

Richard took the necklace with excitement and helped place it on her neck.

Susan was overjoyed, she loved the feeling when she was the center of attention. She was obsessed with being famous and liked by everyone, so she chose to join the entertainment industry.

While she played with her necklace, Susan looked at him leisurely. “Richard, are you really willing to do something for me?”

“Of course, even if it is to die for you!” Richard said quickly.

“Damn, don’t say that!” Susan chuckled. Suddenly, her eyes sank, she took out a photo of Hazel and placed it on the table.

 

Chapter 209: You Are Exaggerating

“I really need to ask for your help. But don’t worry, what I need you to do is very simple. You don’t have to die for me. Susan’s eyes flashed with a cold glow. She pushed a photo of Hazel across the table.

“What do you think of this woman?”

Richard Hamilton glanced at the photo and immediately replied, “Average. In my heart, you are the most beautiful woman.”

“Thank you, I am very flattered.” Susan was very happy, and she continued, “Richard, I want to ask you to chase her…”

“Chase her?” Richard suddenly frowned, and his face became a bit twisted.

“Susan, what do you mean? You know that I like you!”

“Don’t get so excited, I don’t want you to chase her for real,” Susan said with a sly look. “I just want her to fall in love with you, and then you throw her away, like garbage!”

“Has she offended you?” Richard asked calmly, then with dissatisfaction said, “If this is the case, I will simply ask someone to teach her a lesson. Why do you want me to chase her?”

His eyes fell on the photos, and he was somewhat startled. He didn’t look at it carefully, but it seemed that the woman in the photo was really pretty, actually really breathtaking.

“Oh, this is a long story,” Susan frowned. “She is Hazel, but she is a vicious woman who is vain, she especially likes to seduce rich people and deceive them to get their money and love! Originally, it had nothing to do with me, but she is now entangled with one of my distant cousins.”

Susan continued, “He is so fascinated by her, and now he cannot listen to our suggestions. I am asking you to help so my cousin can see her true personality. Wait until you dump her, then she will taste what it is like to be deceived!”

Susan’s eyes flashed with pride. She wasn’t sure why it took her so long to think of it. Joshua was stubborn, and she couldn’t do anything to him, but she could change his impression of Hazel.

Hazel was the kind of woman, as long as a rich man chased her, she would definitely date both of them for the money, Joshua would hate Hazel, and then she would have a chance.

“Would you like to help me?” Susan looked at him with anticipation.

“You asked me for help, of course, I will help you.” Richard hurriedly promised, and he said with confidence, “but if I chase another woman for you, if I have any sexual encounters with her, you have to promise not to misunderstand.”

“Of course, I will not misunderstand.” Susan was very happy, and she couldn’t wait to see Hazel get close to another man.

“Okay, give me one week,” Richard vowed firmly.

After saying goodbye to Richard Hamilton in the cafe, Susan got into the car with a pleasant smile on her face. Mandy didn’t even ask what they talked about, she preferred not to know.

Mandy said, “Luna, I just received the news that Hazel had moved out of Denmark’s house and went back to university.”

“What are you talking about?” Susan was very happy. “Is it Joshua who drove her out? They broke up, right?”

“No… It is not like that,” Mandy said, a little embarrassed. “I was told that Joshua personally took her back, and he seemed to be reluctant…”

She stopped talking, and she looked at Susan uneasily. Susan did not like to hear anything about Joshua liking Hazel, if she did hear it, she would get angry.

“Oh!” Susan sneered, although she was somewhat disappointed, she was not as angry as before. “It seems that Joshua has begun to get tired of that woman, this is really a good time!”

Susan took out her mobile phone and found Richard’s number. Hazel was back at the university, and Richard Hamilton would have a chance.

***

Hazel had an exam in a few days. Fortunately, Joshua-Hazel Picture had already been on the right track, and there was Jaxson Hunk and Sharon Davis to help. She was not worried and planned to study for her exam.

Just as she was packing her bag to go to the library, she heard a knock on the door. Hazel opened the door and saw a girl standing there with a rose.

“Are you Hazel?” the girl asked.

“Yeah.” Hazel was stunned.

“Someone asked me to give you this.” The girl said with a smile.

Hazel frowned slightly and looked at the rose strangely. “Who sent it?”

“It was a handsome gentleman,” said the girl. “He said he would be waiting for you at the student lake.”

The girl shoved the rose at Hazel and walked away.

Hazel’s brow wrinkled in confusion, she was preparing to close the door, but another girl came to the dormitory door, “Hazel!”

Another girl was delivering another rose and a message to say her admirer was waiting at the lake.

As she looked at the roses in her hand, Hazel was puzzled.

“Wow!” Ariel said with a look of envy, “Hazel, the handsome man is really romantic.”

As she finished her sentence, someone else knocked on the door with another flower and the same message.

“Go fast! Don’t make the handsome guy wait for too long.” Summer also smiled and urged, “Don’t show off for us. Go!”

“This does not seem right,” Hazel thought for a while. “It’s not something that Joshua would do. I call and ask…”

“How can you be so boring?” Ariel was anxious. “How do you know that Joshua wouldn’t do it? What if it is a surprise that he wanted to give you? If you call now, it is not a waste of his surprise?”

“Yeah, he is about to meet you at the lake.” Summer agreed and said, “That is the place where our school couples date, except for Joshua, who would it be?”

“You got it,” Hazel rolled his eyes. “My man and I don’t understand?”

Ariel and Summer looked very upset. Ariel said that she was full of complaints. “God, I want to fall in love, I want to show off!”

Hazel had already dialed the number, but she didn’t call. “These flowers were really not sent by Joshua.”

“I think Joshua sent them. You can ask him, but then he would feel like his romantic plan was a failure, so he would deny it anyway!” Ariel analyzed.

“Yeah,” Summer agreed. “I think you should go to the lake and catch him before he leaves.”

“He is out of town on a business trip,” Hazel said faintly.

Ariel and Summer looked at each other, so they really weren’t sent by Joshua?

“But who sent them then?” Ariel was surprised. “You are the best in the school, not to mention the most boring and difficult to chase. For a long time, no one even dared to challenge you.”

“You are exaggerating.” Hazel laughed.

“What are you going to do?” Summer asked. “Wouldn’t you like to see who it is?”

 

Chapter 210: Investigating His Love Rival

Richard Hamilton was a little annoyed that Hazel was keeping him waiting. Every few minutes, he had a girl take a flower to Hazel, and of course, the longer she waited, the more expensive it was.

Richard had been waiting for a half-hour, and Richard was becoming more and more unsettled. Suddenly, he saw a girl walking toward him with a large bouquet, everyone was watching and admiring her.

Richard snorted, he had sent all of the flowers, so the girl must be Hazel. He thought that it might be difficult to chase Hazel, but it seemed that this was not the case. He figured he would definitely be able to complete the task for Susan in a week.

“Hazel,” Richard strode forward and looked forward with deep affection. “You have finally come, even if you make me wait until the end of time, I am willing to wait…”

Ariel was holding the flowers, she was shocked and then disgusted by him.

She forced all of the flowers into Richard’s arms and interrupted him, “Sorry, I am not Hazel.”

“Hazel, are you kidding me?” Richard endured the anger of his heart but barely maintained a smile. “Since I first saw you, I can never forget you…”

“I think you should get your eyes checked,” Ariel looked at him with a puzzled look. “I look so much different than Hazel, the one you have been unable to forget, and you don’t even see it?”

“Hahahaha!” A man suddenly laughed.

Someone who knew Hazel smiled and said, “She is not Hazel! Hahaha, I

just saw Hazel. Why does something funny happen every time someone chases after her?”

“This time has nothing to do with Hazel. This is too strange. He said he couldn’t forget Hazel, but he didn’t recognize her! It is just too funny and embarrassing!”

“Hazel is the hardest to chase and most boring girl. I am definitely convinced this time!”

***

Listening to the discussion of the people around him, Richard’s face was nasty. He clearly saw it, the woman in front of him was indeed not Hazel.

She did look completely different. How could he make such a fool of himself?

Richard was angry and ashamed. He has never been so embarrassed and ridiculed by so many people, and it was all because of Hazel.

“Well, I came to help Hazel and give you a message. She said that no matter who you are, don’t chase her.” Ariel said with a dissatisfied face.

Hazel didn’t want to go herself, but she wanted to see who the man was, so Ariel offered to go. She thought he was handsome, but it was weird for him to send flowers to Hazel without knowing her. Was he just messing around?

After telling him, Ariel turned around and left.

“Wait!” Richard chased after her. If he didn’t take the chance, he would have no opportunity in the future. He caught up with Ariel and said. “Hey miss, what just happened was a misunderstanding. You are a friend of Hazel’s; can you please take me to see her?

“Don’t get yourself excited! I will tell you the truth, there are men like you chasing her from the dormitory to the school gate!” Ariel said with a strong heart, “Hazel has a boyfriend. You are much worse than her boyfriend! I advise you to give up early because you will not have any chance.”

Richard was upset. He had always been very confident, but he was actually being degraded by people. He listened to Susan say that Hazel’s boyfriend did open a company and he was rich. However, Susan did not say who the person was, so how could he even start to compete with him?

“I won’t give up!” Richard yelled coldly and turned away.

Ariel was stunned. She took out her mobile phone and texted Hazel, everything that happened in detail. Hazel was in the library, and as she looked at Ariel’s text, she felt weird.

Suddenly, she received a text from Summer, she was very cooperative with sending a photo of Richard waiting by the lake. She had only gone to see what the man looked like, but as a result, she ended up taking two photos.

“Do you know him?” Ariel asked with anger.

“I don’t know.” Hazel searched through her mind, and she was sure that she had never seen him.

She didn’t hesitate, she forwarded the photo to Joshua immediately.

“Is he the one that sent the flowers to you?” Joshua quickly replied.

“Well, can you help me find out who he is?” Hazel asked.

Joshua sent a document a few minutes later, Hazel was curious and quickly opened it, she was speechless.

The document was about twelve pages, and it contained Richard’s detailed personal information. It was a record of his family’s history and all events since his birth.

“How come there is so much detail?” Hazel’s lips twitched.

“Investigating a love rival, of course, it has to be clearly investigated,” Joshua replied.

Hazel laughed. It turned out that Joshua was jealous. When she first told him that someone was chasing her, his reaction was very dull. Hazel thought that Joshua didn’t care, she was a little disappointed. It turned out that he just said nothing and remembered everything in his heart.

She smiled lightly. “Yes, dear, but it’s too long to read. What is the important point?”

Joshua’s lips twitched slightly, when Hazel said that someone had given her flowers, he had already started investigating. How can he not care about the sudden emergence of a rival? He did not tell Hazel that he already had the information because he did not want to overwhelm her.

“Richard, the son of the chairman of the transnational Hamilton Group, a friend of Susan,” Joshua replied shortly and said out the important points with few words.

“It turns out that is who he is?” Hazel sent a look of swearing; she was wondering what was going on, she had no idea what was happening.

“Hazel, do you like flowers?” Joshua suddenly asked. He recalled carefully that he had not given Hazel flowers, but the ‘love enemy’ knew to send flowers. Joshua felt like he may have been a neglecting boyfriend.

Hazel chuckled, she already understood what Joshua was thinking.

Her eyes lit up with excitement, she replied, “I like you,”

“Me too.” Joshua smiled, and his anxiety completely vanished.

***

Richard inquired about Hazel’s whereabouts, and he quickly ran to the library.

He glanced around the library; he didn’t want to be embarrassed again, so he really needed to make sure he found the right person. He didn’t think that he would actually recognize her at first glance, but he surprised himself, he knew her immediately because she really was beautiful.
