Ch. 461..470

Chapter 461: Think About It

Grandma Shawn’s face changed a little. Of course, she knew what Katie was talking about was Joshua Denmark. She glared at Katie. “How dare you even have your eye on being with him?”

“Why not?” Katie whispered, “Grandma, I know what you’re scared of. Yes, they say Master Denmark and Hazel Crowe are lovers, but so what? I think it’s because he wanted to own the Denmark Group more legitimately, so he pretended to be affectionate toward her in front of others. After all, how can a man like him be without women?”

Some hesitation appeared on Grandma Shawn’s face.

“Think about it,” Katie then persuaded her, “as long as I’m with Master Denmark, even if I can’t stand by his side in public, cannot he bring more benefits to the Shawn family than Childe Flores or Childe Lynch?”

Grandma Shawn was clearly convinced, but she looked suspiciously at Katie. “I hear he doesn’t get close to women at all. How can you approach him?”

Katie sneered. “Though he doesn’t get close to women, he is also a man. Don’t we understand men? Besides, we are not entitled to approach him, but that little bitch… cough cough, my sister has access to him, doesn’t she? There will be a good chance today if she is willing to help us. What do you think?”

Grandma Shawn was totally convinced by her, or to be exact, she was so infatuated with Katie’s fantasy of being with Joshua that she didn’t even think about the consequences of failure.

“Good…” Grandma Shawn’s face darkened. “I’ll get you a chance to talk to your sister so you can ask her to help you.”

“Don’t worry, grandma!” Katie’s eyes gleamed with expectations.

Soon, Grandma Shawn went to Callie and chatted with her as an elder. Katie swept across the crowd, eagerly searching for Joshua.

Since she saw Joshua, she had really yearned to meet him again. But the party had already started. Why hadn’t he showed up?

All of a sudden, Katie’s pupils shrank, and she looked at the door angrily.

There were two women in the world she hated most. One was Callie Shawn, and the other was Hazel Crowe, who was now at the door, ready to enter the room.

Hazel got dressed and went straight downstairs.

As soon as she appeared at the door, the hall fell silent momentarily.

Hazel looked really too beautiful. She was as pretty as a fairy in heaven, and the people present couldn’t take their eyes off her.

Hazel, who had never faced such a situation before, blushed a little.

The crowd couldn’t resist gasping.

If Hazel looked like a painting before, the way she blushed just now made her look cute and alive.

Simon lurked in the corner of the party. His sinister eyes fell on Hazel.

This girl really brought him surprises whenever she emerged. His heart ached inexplicably at the thought of what she was about to face.

But… His fingers tightened slightly, and his heart hardened again. This time, he must not relent, even if he knew what was going to happen.

Hazel didn’t notice him. She looked through the crowd for Joshua. Now she just wanted Joshua to be around her.

But… he was actually not here?

Hazel was slightly stunned, but the next moment, she became calm.

This was a dinner party Joshua especially threw for her, and she mustn’t screw it up. Joshua had invited an etiquette teacher for her the other day, so she wasn’t utterly clueless about everything.

With a quiet, polite smile on her face, she slowly walked into the banquet hall.

Katie grit her teeth. How dare this woman show up at this banquet? And she attracted all the people’s attention without doing anything, so how could she not hate her?

The next moment, she had already made her way through the crowd to stop Hazel angrily.

“Stop, what do you think you are? How dare you come here! You have no right to cause trouble on such an occasion!” Katie snapped. She had thought it over. Since Hazel attracted attention, she was going to make her lose face in public!

Hazel stopped and couldn’t help cocking an eyebrow. Katie Shawn actually didn’t know who she was?

Although Katie had met Hazel several times, coincidentally, she still didn’t know Hazel’s name and identity until now. She really thought Hazel was Joshua’s secret mistress and stayed with him as an assistant.

Once one’s prejudice was formed, it would be deeply rooted. Therefore, Katie didn’t realize the woman standing in front of her and being stopped by her was an actress, the star of this banquet— Hazel, the Denmark family’s lost daughter.

“What am I?” Hazel asked, with a half-smile.

The dispute had already attracted Grandma Shawn’s attention. Callie had seen Hazel before, so her face paled when she saw this scene. She hurried to walk over with Grandma Shawn.

“Katie, what’s going on?” Grandma Shawn asked crossly.

“Grandma, as you know, Master Denmark is holding this party for the Denmark family’s daughter, but this woman actually wants to make trouble!” Katie said indignantly.

The other people were at a loss because many of them knew Hazel. Then they turned to look at Katie. What was wrong with this woman? Hazel was the center of this party. How could she make trouble in her own place?

But Katie thought she had attracted all the attention, which made her even prouder.

“Who is she?” Grandma Shawn asked, confused.

“Hey! I advise you to get out of here quickly.” Katie looked at Hazel scornfully. “I’m going to give you a face. If I do tell others who you are here, do you think you’ll still have the nerve to walk out of your house?”

“I’m getting more and more curious,” Hazel said with a sneer on her lips. “Tell me what my identity is.”

“Why are you so shameless?!” Katie looked exasperated. “Do you really think you use the identity of Master Denmark’s assistant to cover up so that people don’t know you’re Master Denmark’s mistress? Do you think it’s an honor to be a mistress? You’re a mistress destroying the relationship between Master Denmark and Miss Crowe!”

The hall was in an uproar. It really refreshed their worldview. But what shocked them was not Katie’s words, but her stupidity…

How could there be such an idiot woman who accused Hazel of being her own mistress at her party?!

 

Chapter 462: It Must Be Her Illusion

Hazel’s lips twitched as she was trying very hard not to laugh.

Only now did she understand how Katie had misunderstood her. Hazel was very stunned at the fact that she had been getting her wrong all this time.

However, she looked guilty in Katie’s eyes.

As for the other guests’ reaction, Katie thought that they had believed her, and they were joining her in condemning Hazel.

In an instant, Callie on the side was worried. She quickly said, “Grandma, you misunderstood…”

“Shut up!” Grandma Shawn threw her an unpleasant stare. “Katie’s helping, so stop messing around. You have no right to speak here!”

“But…” Callie wanted to continue, but Grandma Shawn’s face looked a little stricter.

Seeing that Callie actually put in a good word for Hazel, Katie was unwilling to miss this opportunity to embarrass her. She looked at Callie with an air of righteousness. “Sister, she is a secret lover and a mistress who destroys other people’s relationships. How can you stay with such people? You don’t want to be like her, do you? Do you want to tell me that’s how you manage to stay with Master Isaac? No wonder Master Isaac hates you so much!”

Callie suddenly went pale. Isaac didn’t like her, which was a sore spot for her, but Katie actually touched her sore spot on this occasion!

In a flash, Hazel’s face turned cold. Just then, a warm hand rested on her shoulder.

She looked back and saw Joshua already standing behind her.

“What’s the matter?” he whispered.

“She stops me from entering.” She complained.

The moment she saw Joshua, Katie’s legs went weak. But the next moment, she said with a tone of righteousness, “Master Joshua, since this is a party you throw for your girlfriend, how can you bring this woman here to make trouble?”

Joshua’s eyes suddenly became a little sharper, and when his eyes fell on Katie, she felt as if countless swords were piercing her. No, she couldn’t be scared now. This time it was Joshua who was unreasonable. She might be able to ingratiate herself with the Denmark family’s daughter in this way so that she could also get close to Joshua.

“She said I was your secret lover,” Hazel explained.

“Secret?” Joshua sneered. The next moment, he put his left hand around Hazel’s waist to lift her hand. “Isn’t our relationship always legal?”

In an instant, all the people exclaimed.

Of course, they all saw that Hazel and Joshua were wearing rings on their ring fingers! So they were married?! However, even if they were not married, they would get married soon!

Katie was in a daze for a while. She had seen the rings on their hands, but there was only jealousy and hatred in her heart! Why, why did this woman win his heart first?

“Master Joshua!” Katie looked at him mournfully. “How can you do that? You’ve clearly had Miss Crowe already and admitted that she is your girlfriend, and you threw a dinner party for her, but all of a sudden, you are with another woman. Where will you leave her?!”

The whole banquet hall fell silent as everyone heard her sad question. They looked at Katie more speechlessly.

God, how could there be such an idiot woman! How far was she going to lose face!

Hazel burst into laughter despite herself.

She couldn’t help but say, “Miss Shawn, you really broaden my outlook. You’re an outsider, but your aggrieved tone just now almost made me think you’re the real Hazel Crowe.”

“Even if I’m not Hazel Crowe, you can’t be here,” Katie said with great confidence. “Why can’t I blame you, a mistress who harms others’ relationships? Whoever is just will never let you go!”

With that, Katie looked at the crowd. She was a little proud, to begin with, because she thought as long as she stood on the high ground of justice, everyone else would help her condemn Hazel. At that time, no matter how angry Joshua was, he wouldn’t do anything to her.

But… why did the others look at her so strangely?

Somehow Katie felt confused and flustered at the bottom of her heart. She finally realized that something was wrong. What was wrong was that the people didn’t look angry, but… they looked like they were waiting for her to become a laughing stock!

No! It must be her illusion! They were waiting to see Hazel become a laughing stock.

Hazel laughed harder, but she finally stopped, her eyes flashing with a charming gleam. “Oh, then I’m really sorry, I’m Hazel Crowe.”

“You apologize at long last….” Katie snorted with disdain. She didn’t even hear clearly what Hazel was saying. She just heard her apology and thought Hazel had given in, but before she finished the sentence, she heard a plop beside her.

It was Grandma Shawn who directly kneeled on the ground with her legs going weak.

Katie sensed there was something fishy. She looked back at Grandma Shawn and crouched down blankly, trying to help her up. “Grandma, don’t get mad. This woman is not worth your anger…”

Before she finished the sentence, Grandma Shawn slapped her across the face.

“Grandma!” Katie looked at her in shock, unable to come to her senses for a long time. She didn’t figure out why Grandma Shawn did that to her!

“You…” Grandma Shawn’s fingers were shaking as she pointed them at her. She should have found it out! However, she allowed Katie to continue making trouble for her own selfishness, but she didn’t expect that Katie would cause such big trouble in the end!

Yeah. If the woman, who could dress the most lavishly for such an occasion and get so much attention and Joshua’s most attention, wasn’t Hazel Crowe, the star of today’s party, who else would she be?!

Smack! Grandma Shawn slapped Katie across the face again!

“Grandma!” Katie covered her face and dared not speak in anger.

“You, you son of a bitch!” Grandma Shawn tried hard not to pass out. Her eyes were very dark. “Apologize to Miss Crowe now!”

Looking at Hazel, whom Grandma Shawn was pointing at, Katie felt very ashamed and angry. Suddenly, she seemed to come to her senses and stared at Hazel with a look of shock on her face.

“What, what did you say? Who do you say you are?! Are you Hazel Crowe? How could it be possible?!” Katie looked at her unwillingly, her eyes full of disbelief!

No, impossible!

This woman was one of Joshua’s secret mistresses. How could she be Hazel Crowe?

If she was Hazel Crowe, didn’t she offend both Hazel Crowe and Joshua Denmark?!

She couldn’t afford such a consequence!

 

Chapter 463: May I Ask You To Dance With Me?

Katie went pale. Even though she was unwilling to admit it, at this point, she was well aware that the woman she had repeatedly offended was exactly Hazel Crowe.

Grandma Shawn reacted very quickly. She knew exactly what kind of consequence there would be if she offended Denmark Group, so as soon as Katie finished speaking, she slapped her across the face again.

“Asshole!” Grandma Shawn snapped. “How can you call Miss Denmark by her first name? Apologize immediately!”

Katie clenched her teeth, but Grandma Shawn’s slap has brought her to her senses. She knew clearly that she would end up with a very miserable ending if this incident went on.

Suddenly, Katie’s eyes flashed with venom. She was going to apologize to Hazel, but meanwhile, she was going to embarrass her!

“Miss Denmark, I’m sorry.” Tears filled Katie’s eyes instantly, which was very easy for her. But the next moment, she fell straight on her knees with a plop!

Her heart was full of complacency. It was the best way she could think of. She didn’t think Hazel would have her keep kneeling down after she herself fell on her knees in front of so many people!

If Hazel did do that, others would likely think she was not generous and went too much. After all, Katie had already been forced to apologize by falling on her knees. But as long as Hazel asked her to get up, that would mean Hazel had forgiven her, and she would be able to take advantage of that and stop Denmark Group from giving her a hard time!

Joshua’s eyes narrowed slightly. He knew exactly what Katie was planning.

He just wouldn’t give Katie such a chance to embarrass Hazel.

Katie’s knee had just landed firmly on the ground when she felt a sudden force behind her. She didn’t know who pushed her suddenly. Before she could finish the sentence, she flung herself at the ground!

“Ouch!” Katie gave a knee-jerk cry. She was so caught off guard that her kneeling appeared to others to be a direct result of her losing her footing.

The crowd burst into laughter instantly.

Listening to the jeers, Katie was really desperate to pass out! She actually made such a spectacle of herself in front of so many people! She wanted to embarrass Hazel, and now she embarrassed herself!

To add insult to injury, she heard someone in the crowd laugh at her loudly. “Look at her! She’s as ugly as she was in the paper the other day! Ha ha ha!”

“What’s the matter?” someone asked.

Then, some people talked about the incident where she went to stop Joshua at the gate of Denmark Group a few days ago, but lots of dirt on her was dug up by reporters, such as her mother becoming a wife as a mistress, her repeatedly framing her stepsister and so on.

Katie’s heart was filled with hatred because she heard clearly that those people who were talking about her dirt were all her former ‘best friends’ who had fawned on her!

Grandma Shawn didn’t expect the Sloane family would be criticized on such an occasion. Grandma Shawn said, fighting back the impulse to faint, “Miss Denmark….”

“Miss Denmark?” Joshua’s eyes flashed with a cold gleam before he spoke quietly, “You two are in the wrong place. Among my Denmark Group’s guests, who does not know the surname of the star of this banquet is Crowe?”

He did not conceal it. Even before the party, he announced that although the Denmark family had reunited with Hazel, he wouldn’t have her change her surname to Denmark because she had a very great relationship with her adoptive parents.

For him and Hazel, what her last name was didn’t really matter, so there was no need to change it.

Grandma Shawn’s face changed. She didn’t expect she would flatter wrongly.

“Now that you have come to the wrong place, please go out.” Joshua waved coolly, and several bodyguards came forward to catch Katie and Grandma Shawn directly. Then Joshua’s eyes turned cold slightly as he continued, “As for Ms. Shang’s insult to Hazel, I will completely settle with the Shawn family after the party!”

Grandma Shawn’s heart sank totally. Not only was Joshua going to throw them out, but he was also explicitly saying that he would go after the Shawn family. He didn’t give them a chance to apologize in the least!

Before they could say anything, they were thrown out of the party by the bodyguards.

Joshua took Hazel’s hand and headed for the stage as if nothing had happened.

Everyone’s eyes fell on them in admiration.

Joshua and Hazel were really a great couple. They looked like a perfect match.

On the stage, Joshua scanned the crowd quietly.

“I’ve invited you here today,” Joshua said dryly, “because I want to announce two things.”

All the people looked up to the stage. Many of them, who were directors of Denmark Group, looked at Hazel with complicated eyes.

Joshua’s mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners. He had naturally noticed these directors. The next moment, he said coldly, “Number one, from now on, Hazel Crowe will have the final say at Denmark Group!”

The short sentence exploded among the guests.

Even the directors were bewildered.

They had expected Joshua to at least say something about Hazel’s past first, then emotionally talk about their relationship, and finally confirm Hazel’s identity.

There were plenty of directors who had not given up intending to make a little bit of trouble at the party to make others question Hazel’s identity. However… Joshua was so out of line as he actually announced the results directly!

His action was so simple, so rude, and so direct that they couldn’t handle it at all. Even the other guests knew Joshua’s determination from his direct attitude.

“Number two, I think you’ve guessed it.” Joshua’s face softened a little. He said, taking her hands to hold hands with her. “Hazel is already my wife. Our wedding is coming up. Please come to our wedding.”

As he said this, his eyes fell coldly on Simon. Even if Simon was hiding in an inconspicuous corner, he still found him at a glance.

Simon looked at him fearlessly. Sure enough, Joshua asked him to come here to show his ownership of Hazel. The next moment, his mouth tilted upwards evilly at the corners as he raised his glass to smile defiantly at him.

The people were still sighing. Those who set their hearts on Hazel stopped their thoughts. After all, if the love rival was Joshua, they did not have much confidence.

“That’s all. Have fun,” Joshua said quietly.

The lights dimmed, and soft music sounded. Joshua held out his hand to Hazel like a gentleman. “My princess, may I ask you to dance with me?”

Hazel’s heart was sweet. She nodded, placing her hand in his palm.

 

Chapter 464: They’re Not Qualified

Joshua and Hazel should naturally dance the opening dance of the party. When they finished, the audience heartily applauded. The two of them really looked like a perfect match. Even if they just stood together, they were a feast for the eyes.

Hazel’s cheeks blushed slightly. Suddenly, she looked over the crowd and saw the Crowe family in the rest area.

“My parents…” Hazel said in a low voice.

“Let’s go,” Joshua whispered, holding her hand.

She nodded. But before they could reach the rest area, suddenly, a woman stopped in front of them.

“Miss Crowe, Master Joshua…” When the woman looked at Joshua, her eyes were full of wild enthusiasm.

Joshua’s behavior tonight made almost all the women at the party adore him. After all, no matter how much a man loved a woman, he couldn’t give her all he had.

But Joshua could do that and did that. Even though he was originally the adopted son of the Denmark family and the Denmark Group had already belonged to him completely, when he gave everything to Hazel, he wasn’t hesitant at all.

How could a woman not like a man who could do everything for the woman he loved? What was more, Joshua never relied on Denmark Group but on his own ability.

Of course, Hazel saw the adoration in the woman’s eyes. She asked in surprise. “Do we know each other?”

She actually thought this woman looked a little familiar. Could it be that they had met before?

“I’m Bonny Young, and we met once,” Bonny said with an ingratiating smile. “It’s just a pity that last time, that bitch Katie Shawn drove a wedge between us and made me get you wrong….”

When Bonny said that, Hazel suddenly understood and remembered that the last time when she was shopping for a dress, they met and had a conflict. Bonny was next to Katie at that time. When Joshua knew it, he sent invitations to all those women.

“You are her friend, then?” Joshua asked indifferently.

“No, how can I be Katie Shawn’s friend?” Bonny denied quickly.

But Joshua didn’t give her a chance to explain. He opened his mouth coldly, “Since you are Katie Shawn’s friend, you are not welcome at today’s party, please leave.”

“Master Joshua, I…”

Bonny was so worried that she wanted to say something, but the bodyguards directly drove her out.

Hazel was taken aback. By the time she came to her senses, Bonny and those women with Katie Shawn were all driven out by the bodyguards.

Hazel was in a trance. She said after pondering for a while, “I got it. These women were asked to leave because of their identities as Katie’s friend, and they will surely blame Katie for this. Is that why you sent them away?”

“No,” Joshua said dryly, “they’re not qualified.”

“Then why?” she asked curiously.

“I invited them for I only wanted them to know who you are. Why shall we allow them to stay now that my purpose has been served?” he said calmly.

“…” Hazel didn’t know whether to laugh or cry because his statement sounded so reasonable. She had thought he deliberately set Katie up, but the truth was that neither Katie nor her friends were qualified to make Joshua pay much attention.

When they arrived at the rest area where the Crowe family were, Hazel embraced Rachel happily. “Mom, you look so beautiful today!”

Rachel looked a bit uncomfortable. She looked around and said aloof, “Behave yourself!”

Hazel looked a little stunned. However, soon she understood.

It was her party, but her parents were worried that they would do something wrong, so they stayed in the corner, afraid of doing something that would embarrass Hazel.

Hazel’s heart warmed slightly. The Crowe family brought her up. They were her family all the time. This was not something to be ashamed of.

She took Rachel’s hand and said of her own accord, “Mom, I’ll introduce you to some people…”

With that, she walked up to Grandpa Anderson with the Crowe family.

Rachel and Harry were a little hesitant, but Hazel’s determined attitude made it impossible for them to say no.

Joshua had planned to follow, but suddenly his eyes spotted something in the crowd, and his face darkened slightly.

He called his bodyguards to come and ordered them in a low voice. Then the bodyguard grabbed a man looking furtive from the crowd and threw him out of the party.

Soon, a middle-aged man came to him with a frightened face. “Master Joshua, please let my son go!”

Joshua gave him a cold look. It was Hanson Bryant, who had once harassed Hazel, was just taken out by the bodyguards, and now Hanson’s father, Director Bryant of Denmark Group, was pleading with him.

“Director Bryant,” Joshua looked at him casually, “I remember when I saved your son last time, I said either you send him away, or I would send him away.”

Director Bryant went white as a sheet. Some time ago, Hanson met Simon and was taken away and severely tortured by Simon. At that time, he asked Joshua for help, and Joshua asked him to agree to this condition.

He did agree, but Hanson was, after all, his son, and the Bryant family’s business was here. How could he be willing to send Hanson abroad?

So, with a fluke mind, he sneaked in with Hanson. He was hoping to find Hazel and ask her for help. After all, Hazel now called the shots at Denmark Group. Unfortunately, he didn’t find Hazel at all and was stopped by Joshua.

Joshua said coldly, “Since Director Bryant isn’t willing to do that, then it must be done by me….”

“No, no, no!” Director Bryant wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, making up his mind, “I’ll see him off, rest assured!”

With that, he hurried to walk out of the party to look for Hanson.

Joshua’s eyes were slightly darker. Even though Director Bryant had promised, Hanson had been so spoiled that he might not be able to control Hanson.

Hanson, who was being carried by the bodyguards, shouted crossly, “Do you know who I am? Let go of me! I need to meet Hazel! I want to meet her. Surely she can’t be so heartless… Mmmm!”

The bodyguards, of course, wouldn’t listen to him. Hearing him mention Hazel, they even directly covered his mouth. Eventually, Hanson was thrown out of the party by them.

Hanson was so angry that he wanted to rush inside, but he became a coward instantly when he saw the bodyguards from a distance.

“Are you Master Bryant?”

Suddenly, a sweet voice came from a corner. Hanson froze. He followed the voice and looked back to find Katie hiding in a corner.

“Aren’t you that idiot girl?” asked Hanson, with somewhat impatience.

Katie’s eyes flashed with an evil light. “Master Bryant, aren’t you getting kicked out too? In fact, we can cooperate!”

 

Chapter 465: Are You Worthy?

“Cooperate?” Hanson looked at her sardonically. “Are you worthy?”

Katie was so furious that she clenched her teeth. She had seen Hanson a few times before and knew who he was, but she was so ambitious that she only took a fancy to men like Joshua and Isaac, and she knew exactly what kind of guy Hanson was, so she had never had any contact with him.

But since she met him now, a wonderful idea came to her.

Maybe she could use Hanson to ruin Hazel’s reputation! No, not just Hazel, but her step sister Callie. Only by making them both completely unable to turn over could her hatred be eliminated!

So she swallowed her anger and said ingratiatingly, “Your target is supposed to be Hazel Crowe, isn’t it? I can help you!”

“You help me? How can you help?” said Hanson with disdain.

When Katie made such a fool of herself, he was a total onlooker, so he didn’t hold any hope when Katie said she wanted to help him.

Katie clenched her fingers in exasperation, her nails already dug into her palms. She would not flatter Hanson if she didn’t have to hold on to the last life-saving straw!

“Master Bryant, are you sure you want to talk here?” Katie’s eyes fell on the bodyguards not far away.

Hanson thought for a while before nodding.

He had nothing to lose by listening to the woman’s idea.

After they left, Katie directly took Hanson to a room upstairs in the hotel.

When Hanson entered the room, he burst into a dirty smile.

“Babe, it turns out you’re just looking for an excuse to fool me into spending the night with me?” He couldn’t wait to start undressing. “Don’t worry. Since you are so dedicated, I will satisfy your sexual desire!”

“Master Bryant, you got me wrong,” Katie said, fighting the urge to fall out with him as Hanson hugged her. “I brought you here to wait for Hazel Crowe! Think about it, after Hazel arrives, if you really sleep with her, I’ll bring other guests here… When they see Hazel becomes your woman, wouldn’t it be very easy for you to marry her and even get Denmark Group?”

Hanson was a little convinced. If it really worked out well, he believed Hazel would marry him. But…

He looked at Katie with disdain. “You’ve got a great idea, but what are you?! You’re not even qualified to be near Hazel right now. How can you bring her over here?”

“I can’t get close to Hazel, but someone can!” There was a hint of hatred in Katie’s eyes. “My sister Callie. She’s Isaac’s fiancée! If I ask her to invite Hazel. How can she not take her here?”

Hanson was really convinced. He said, hesitating, “But I heard that your relationship with your sister is not very good….”

“Don’t worry, I have asked my grandmother, that old fool to find her!” She was very triumphant. “She’s worried about the Shawn family right now, so she’s going to do whatever it will take to get Callie to ask Hazel out, and that would be our chance at that time!”

Hanson looked at Katie in surprise and held out his hand to touch her body several times. “Babe, you have tried so hard to help me, I will definitely ‘look after you in the future…”

Katie was so disgusted she almost slapped Hanson backhand! But she had to make use of him, so she could not offend him.

“Oh, hunk, give me a break.” She swallowed her disgust, stoically leaning herself against him. “Don’t waste your energy on me as you should save it for Hazel. If you really have me in mind, you’ll have to help me get the Shawn family when you get Denmark Group! The old fool is trying to sell me!”

“That old fool is really wicked! What are you going to do with her? Tell me, and I’ll help you do it!” Hanson said with a bossy air as if Denmark Group were now his.

“Doesn’t that old fool try to sell me?” Katie’s eyes flashed with malevolence. “When I get the Shawn family, I’ll put her in some old men’s bed! Let her ‘sacrifice’ for the Shawn family!”

“How wicked you are!” Hanson smirked. “A perfect match for me!”

“And those bitches like Bonny Young!” Katie said with ferocious eyes, “They were clearly driven out because of themselves, but they actually blamed me! And they all beat me and scolded me… You must help me find men to assault these bitches in turns in the future!”

“Rest assured! I will help you!” Now Hanson was daydreaming, and of course, he would say yes no matter what Katie asked him for.

The two daydreamed for a while. After Katie got rid of Hanson, she walked out of the room, looked around furtively, and finally crept into a nearby corner.

Several men, who seemed to be hoodlums, were already waiting in the corner. When Katie saw them, she was not surprised at all. Instead, she seemed to know them early on.

“Do you remember what I said?” She clenched her teeth. “After I take that bitch into the room, you guys go in there and assault her in turns!”

The men immediately nodded. “Don’t worry, my lady, how can we not do our best as we can get women and earn money?”

“Be clever, all of you!” Katie whimpered unhappily. Then she stepped out of the corner to look for Grandma Shawn.

Grandma Shawn didn’t agree with her original plan, so she had to change it to ruin Hazel’s reputation. She did not believe that if so many men assaulted Hazel, Joshua would not give her up.

Having said that, while she thought her plans were perfect, she didn’t know that someone saw all she did.

After a while, she found Grandma Shawn. Grandma Shawn didn’t know her plan, but when she heard that Katie was willing to apologize to Hazel, she agreed to help Katie without hesitation.

At the dinner party, Hazel introduced her parents to a few well-respected elders. As for the others, she felt no need to meet them.

However, her behavior clearly showed the Crowe family was very important to her. The other guests, who were very smart, immediately came to talk to the Crowe family. This kind of talk was, of course, ingratiating. A lot of people complimented the Crowe family. Even people saw Ronald, who was young and charismatic, wanting to make him become their son-in-law.

Watching her family integrate with the people, Hazel smiled as she headed to the rest area.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on Callie, who was sitting there.

 

Chapter 466: Let’s Meet Them Now

Callie was on the phone; she looked like she was having a problem.

When she looked up, she saw Hazel coming. She hesitated for a moment, then whispered something on the phone and quickly hung up.

The next moment, she walked over to Hazel.

“Miss Crowe…” Callie glanced hesitantly at Joshua, who was following Hazel.

“You talk first,” Joshua whispered in Hazel’s ear. “I’ll get you a drink.”

“Fine.” Hazel nodded. She could tell that Callie wanted to say something to her.

After they sat down in the rest area, Hazel asked, “Miss Shawn, what do you want to talk to me about?”

Callie was hesitant. Apparently, she didn’t know how to speak for a moment.

Hazel and Callie met only once, and it was a hurried meeting. In fact, they didn’t really know each other. Hazel’s impression of her was pretty good, though. After all, Joshua always used her to scare Isaac, but Hazel had never seen her pester him.

“Is this about the Shawn family?” Hazel asked of her own accord.

Callie looked more hesitant. She sighed helplessly. “Miss Crowe, I’m so sorry about what happened today….”

“It’s none of your business. You don’t have to apologize,” Hazel said blandly.

Callie looked a little more miserable.

Hazel was powerless. Callie was obviously a girl with a very good personality. She had something on her mind, but she was unwilling to speak it up just because she didn’t want to bother others.

“Is your family pressuring you?” Hazel asked.

“… Yes.” Callie wore a wry smile. Hazel had already guessed all this, and if she denied it, she would be a bit affected. She mused before speaking, “Well, my grandmother is hoping to see you later, and she’ll take Katie here to apologize…”

Hazel frowned slightly. She certainly didn’t have any desire to meet Katie. However, she did learn a little about Callie, who didn’t have a good time in the Shawn family. The Shawn family probably had put a lot of pressure on Callie to force her to say that to her.

Looking at Hazel, Callie was relieved. “Miss Crowe, don’t worry about it. After all, it’s Katie’s fault this time. Normally, you won’t meet her….”

“Did your grandmother say she wanted me to meet them, or she wanted you to persuade me to forgive them?” Hazel asked suddenly.

Callie was slightly shocked. She recalled. “She said as long as I can persuade you to meet them.”

“Then I’ll meet them.” Hazel shrugged nonchalantly.

“Miss Crowe?” Callie looked at her with a complicated look. In fact, she had already been ready to be rejected. Grandma Shawn threatened her with someone she cared about that she had no choice but to ask Hazel to do that.

“It’s a mere meeting,” Hazel said with a sly gleam in her eye. “You’ve persuaded me. I promise to meet them, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to forgive them.”

“Thank you, Miss Crowe….” Callie’s heart was full of gratitude. She knew that Hazel was doing it for her.

“Let’s go.” Hazel smiled. “Let’s meet them now.”

Callie called Grandma Shawn and then left the party quietly with Hazel.

Joshua was in the corner, discussing something with Jaxson in a low voice.

“Mr. President…” Jaxson pointed in the direction Hazel left in astonishment.

Joshua frowned a little. He sighed quietly. “Looks like the other party has already made a move. This wench is too soft-hearted.”

Jaxson said quickly, “I’ll ask someone to stop them…”

“No need,” Joshua said, waving his hand. “That woman can’t set Hazel up yet. Hazel’s more awesome than you think. Let her have a good time.”

Jaxson was dumbfounded. He asked blankly, “What should we do then?”

“Adjust the plan,” Joshua said with a slight coldness in his eyes. “Since they team up to plot against Hazel, they’ll have to pay the corresponding price even though they can’t afford it.”

***

“How can it be in a hotel room upstairs?” Hazel frowned slightly.

“My grandmother said Master Joshua wouldn’t let them go near the banquet hall for fear of disturbing you, so they could only appoint a room upstairs,” Callie explained apologetically.

Hazel nodded. They took the elevator to the floor where Katie had appointed to meet them.

Hardly had they reached the door when the hotel door was opened. Grandma Shawn stood apologetically in the doorway with Katie.

“Miss Crowe, you come?” Grandma Shawn looked almost humble.

Hazel gave her a cool look and walked in with Callie.

“Miss Callie kept begging me to give you a chance, and I was so touched by her that I wanted to listen to what you wanted to say.” Hazel went to the sofa and sat down indifferently.

“Katie!” Grandma Shawn said quickly.

Katie, with a pitiful expression, whispered, “Grandma, take sister out of here first. I want to apologize to Hazel alone.”

“What? Are you afraid of being seen?” Hazel asked with a half-smile.

“No,” Katie said tearfully. “It’s my fault this time. It has nothing to do with my grandma or my sister, and I don’t want them to get in trouble because of me.”

Hazel looked at Katie in surprise. She didn’t think it was the real excuse for her to send Grandma Shawn and Callie away.

Nonetheless, since Katie wanted to play, she would play with her. Hazel really wanted to see what Katie was up to.

She nodded, and then Grandma Shawn was ready to take Callie out.

“Miss Crowe…” Callie spoke, worried. She knew Katie’s personality better than anyone else. Previously, she had thought Katie wanted to apologize, but now it seemed that she, in fact, just had some kind of plot.

“Just go out.” Hazel gave her a reassuring look.

Callie had no choice but to leave with Grandma Shawn.

“What are you trying to say?” Hazel asked coldly.

Katie walked up to Hazel, tears in her eyes as she placed a cup of tea in front of Hazel.

“I’m really sorry, Miss Crowe,” Katie said, looking sincere. “I got you wrong before. I didn’t know you were the Denmark family’s lost daughter….”

“Oh?” Hazel looked at her with a half-smile. “Do you mean, if I weren’t the Denmark family’s daughter, you’d be free to bully me? So you think you were wrong because you mistook my identity, but not because you did something wrong?”

 

Chapter 467: I Don’t Forgive You

Katie’s face was stiff.

She had thought that Hazel would not blame her for her past as long as she made a casual apology. But according to the current situation… Hazel didn’t mean to forgive her at all!

“Miss Crowe, aren’t you here to forgive me?” She bit her lip and asked.

“Are you so important? Why do I have to forgive you?” Hazel looked at her, speechless. “It was because you said you wanted to apologize that I’m here. But who stipulates that as long as you apologize, I will definitely forgive you?”

Katie was exasperated!

It turned out that Hazel deliberately came to embarrass and humiliate her!

“Do you think I’m here to embarrass you and humiliate you intentionally?” Hazel suddenly opened her mouth with a vague smile as she picked up the cup in front of her and shook it gently.

Katie’s eyes fell on the cup in Hazel’s hand, and her heart was suddenly in her mouth!

The cup of tea she gave to Hazel had been drugged!

She had planned to trick Hazel into drinking it, but she didn’t expect Hazel to take the bait so soon!

Katie’s eyes were almost fixed on the cup, but she had to force herself to calm down. “No… How could I think so?”

Hazel’s mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners; she laughed like a fox.

Katie’s current eyes showed she was dying to help Hazel drink the tea directly. If she could not guess there was something wrong with this cup of tea, Hazel was too foolish. She really didn’t take this little drug trick seriously.

“Right. Only those who do not really want to apologize would feel that I am deliberately humiliating. Those who sincerely apologize will not demand others must forgive them. What kind of people are you?” She smiled.

The next moment she put the cup near her lips as if she were ready to drink.

But she stopped at this time as if she would not drink until Katie answered.

Katie clenched her teeth reluctantly. She said helplessly, “I really come here to apologize… I just want you to understand my apology. I’m really wrong. I won’t insist on getting forgiveness from you…”

“Oh—” Hazel looked as if she understood instantly. She put down the cup. “My answer is: I don’t forgive you.”

Looking at the cup put down, Katie could no longer hold back her anger! It suddenly dawned on her that Hazel had no intention of drinking that cup of tea at all!

She looked up and glared at Hazel in exasperation. “Hazel, are you playing a trick on me? You have never intended to drink it at all, haven’t you?!”

“You know that now?” Hazel picked up the cup again with a half-smile. “Do you think I’m going to fall for this kind of old-fashioned trick of putting drugs in water?”

Now that they had fallen out, Hazel didn’t want to speak obscurely with her any longer.

“I, I didn’t!” Katie was furious. “I just poured tea water. You also saw that. How could I possibly have a chance with the drug?”

Hazel looked at Katie as if she was an idiot. Did Katie think she was so gullible? Since Katie had prepared the water and the cup, she, of course, had a chance to drug at any time.

But Hazel didn’t bother to argue with her.

“Fine. Since you say you didn’t do that, you drink it,” Hazel said with a slight smile. “As long as you’re willing to drink it, I promise you that I’ll let the Shawn family go.”

Katie was very outraged. Hazel was talking about letting the Shawn family go but not talking about letting her go. Besides, she was not Grandma Shawn. How could she possibly care about the Shawn family’s fate?

Moreover, even if Hazel promised to let her go, she would not drink that cup of tea!

“You suspect even a glass of water. I think you’re here to humiliate me deliberately!” Katie said angrily.

Hazel got up calmly from the sofa. Then she threw the cup of tea directly into the trash can without hesitation. “It looks like the Shawn family is nothing to you. In that case, I’m tired of playing, and there’s no need for me to stay anymore.”

In an instant, Katie was worried. She fooled Hazel into coming here with difficulty. How could she possibly have another chance if she allowed Hazel to leave like this?

“Wait, don’t go!” Katie stood in front of her with anger.

“What else do you want to do?” Hazel folded her arms, looking at her indifferently.

“Don’t, don’t you want to save Callie Shawn?” Katie’s eyes flashed with a malicious light. “She came here for you. Now she’s in danger. But you actually turn a deaf ear to her danger?”

Hazel furrowed her eyebrows slightly. Katie had sent out Callie and Grandma Shawn from the very beginning. How could she be in danger since she was with Grandma Shawn? However, Hazel was still a little uneasy.

“What danger could she possibly have?” Hazel asked.

Katie’s eyes suddenly lit up. She finally found Hazel’s weakness! This woman actually cared about Callie Shawn’s safety. That was just right. She would make both of them thoroughly discredited today!

“Callie has hypoglycemia,” Katie said proudly, “so she always carries a sugar box with her, but she doesn’t know that I secretly had her sugar changed! That’s also what I’ve put in the water!”

Hazel’s eyes became dark. It suddenly occurred to her that when she got out of the elevator, Callie took out a box, and it seemed she had sugar.

Now, no matter what Katie said was true or false, she must confirm it first.

“Where is she now?!” Hazel grabbed her arm and snapped.

“You, you let go!” The pain in her arm distorted Katie’s face. She tried hard to shake off Hazel’s hand, but she didn’t take Hazel’s strength seriously. She thought it was just because of Hazel’s anger for a moment.

Hazel loosened her hand coldly. “Take me to find her, or I won’t let you go.”

“Okay!” Katie said in exasperation.

She had planned to entice Hazel to go with her, to begin with, so she agreed very quickly.

Katie took Hazel to the door of a nearby room where Hanson was.

Katie looked at the door proudly. “Callie Shawn is in this room. You can go in and find her! But I hope you won’t be scared by what’s going on inside!”

Hazel gave her a cold look and then pushed the door open.

A crook appeared, and Katie’s eyes flashed with a vicious gleam. She held out her hands to pushed Hazel.

But before her hands could touch Hazel, she saw Hazel’s palms stretching out like lightning and grabbing her wrists swiftly!

“You, you…!” Katie’s forehead was covered with cold sweat. Why was Hazel so alert?

“Now help me find her!” Hazel said in a deep tone. The next moment, she forcibly pushed Katie straight into the room, and even before Katie could react, she directly locked the door!

 

Chapter 468: How Did You Meet Her?

There was a scream of horror from Katie behind the door, followed by a strange noise, but soon the room quieted down.

Hazel looked coldly at the closed door in front of her. How could she be unprepared for Katie? She didn’t believe Katie would be good and take her to Callie.

She didn’t know what happened behind the door, but she knew that if she hadn’t been careful, she would have been locked in the room now.

She would look for Callie, but she had other ways.

Hazel took out her phone and was going to call Joshua, but before she dialed the number, she saw Joshua walking toward her.

“Solved?” he asked lightly.

She looked at him in surprise. “You know that?”

“Yes.” He nodded. Although he knew Hazel could handle it herself, he still followed her.

She spoke directly. “Help me find Callie quickly.”

“Rest assured, I’ve found her,” he answered.

She looked in surprise behind Joshua. Only then did she saw two bodyguards behind him carrying Callie, who was unconscious.

“How did you meet her?” Hazel asked, surprised.

“When I came to look for you, I met a group of people who wanted to take her away, so I saved her,” Joshua explained. “She was unconscious at that time. I could only knock her out first, and I’ll arrange for someone to take her to the hospital later.”

Hazel furrowed her eyebrows slightly. Suddenly, she said, “Wait a minute! Call Isaac over. This is his woman. It is he who should send her to the hospital.”

Joshua cocked an eyebrow as he looked at Hazel in surprise. “Are you going to set Isaac up with Callie?”

“If I can be so awesome and make it, then everything will be simple,” Hazel sighed. “I just hope Callie’s life will be better.”

Although she had little contact with Callie, Hazel could tell that her status in the Shawn family was terribly bad.

Katie even dared to laugh in public at Callie, for she was disliked by her fiancé. Isaac was at the party at that time, but he pretended he had seen or heard nothing.

Isaac’s coldness to Callie made her status so awkward as his fiancée and made the Shawn family despise her.

Since Isaac was the one who caused the trouble, of course, he should solve it.

“Okay.” Joshua nodded. “I’ll call him over.”

Soon, Isaac went upstairs. Seeing Joshua and Hazel, he frowned and said, “Why are you here? Do you know something comes up downstairs? The old lady of the Shawn family is screaming for Callie down there…”

Just then, his eyes caught Callie, and his face paled instantly. The next moment, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Joshua’s bodyguard caught him.

“Joshua Denmark, you can’t do that!” Isaac looked at him helplessly. “I tip you off, and I take you as a friend. You can’t trick me like that!”

“You get him wrong. It’s me,” Hazel interrupted and beckoned bodyguards to help Callie stand in front of him. “I leave her in your hands. She was drugged…”

“It’s none of my business!” Isaac said impatiently.

“She’s your fiancée. Why is it none of your business?” Hazel frowned, and she could not help saying, “Don’t feel aggrieved. You don’t want to marry Callie, but have you ever thought about whether she would like to marry you? Since you don’t like her, why don’t you cancel the engagement directly?

“Isn’t it because you are afraid of making Grandpa Anderson sad? Callie cooperates with you for your filial piety, but what about you? If you don’t thank her, it’s okay. But you give her the cold shoulder all the time, which makes her life very difficult. Do you think you’re a victim? Wrong! You’re happy and free, but you’ve made her miserable!”

Isaac was stunned by Hazel’s words. He really had never thought about these issues. He wanted to deny it, but he couldn’t find any reason to retort because he recalled the scene where Callie was scolded by Katie at the party before.

In a flash, he became furious because of shame. “Joshua, control your wife! She’s intervening in my business. Why aren’t you jealous?!”

“I have the final say in my home!” Hazel did not hesitate to break his illusion.

“Madame, you’re right,” Joshua responded very cooperatively.

The bodyguard put the sleeping Callie into Isaac’s arms. Isaac felt impatient and tried to push her away, but he paused midway.

“If you have a conscience, take her to the hospital.” Hazel continued, “If you’re an asshole and you really throw her away, that’s all right. Anyway, she’s your people. You take her away.”

After that, Hazel and Joshua left directly.

Looking at their departure, Isaac was angry and helpless.

What happened to the two people? They actually left her to him and went straight away?

Isaac gave Callie in his arms a look. Suddenly, a little guilt rose in his heart.

Hazel was right. Grandpa Anderson decided on the fiancée for him personally, so although he was very dissatisfied, he had been dragging his feet not to hurt Grandpa Anderson’s heart.

However, even though he did not call off the engagement, he did something worse. He avoided Callie everywhere and humiliated her every time he met her. The more people there were, the more he showed his dislike in front of her and others. He wanted to force Callie to call off the engagement herself in this way.

But he had never thought that, with Callie’s status in the Shawn family, how could she possibly have the final say to call off the engagement? His actions only made the Shawn family give her a difficult time.

If Callie hadn’t met him, she might have gotten out of the Shawn family, which was a living hell.

Isaac sighed helplessly, intending to take Callie to the hospital. Then he would go to Grandpa Anderson to talk about calling off the engagement.

He helped Callie up, ready to leave. Suddenly, Callie in his arms moaned and opened her eyes slightly.

He looked at her red cheeks, and suddenly her heart beat faster.

He had never hated Callie. What he always hated was arranged marriages. It could even be said that he was totally ignorant of her.

But now, she seemed… to be a rare beauty.

Isaac quickly suppressed his thoughts and took her away.

As soon as Hazel and Joshua returned to the banquet hall downstairs, they saw Grandma Shawn prepare to go upstairs with a large group of people.

Hazel quickly dragged Joshua to hide. Listening to these people’s several words, she figured it out. It turned out soon after Grandma Shawn and Callie left, a group of men directly took Callie away. Grandma Shawn was so frightened that she had to come downstairs to ask others for help.

Hazel said in surprise, “It’s rare for Grandma Shawn to hurry to look for Callie. She seems to remember that Callie is also her granddaughter?”

 

Chapter 469: Don’t Watch It

“You think too much,” Joshua said quietly. “Katie has caused such big trouble that Callie’s identity is now their last life-saving straw. Grandma Shawn certainly won’t want anything bad to happen to Callie.”

Hazel sighed a little sadly. She had thought that the Shawn family still cared about Callie, but she didn’t expect their care was for the benefit.

Suddenly, her eyes turned cold, and she said in a deep tone, “I finally understand what Katie’s plan is.”

Seeing Grandma Shawn’s actions, she connected the whole thing. Katie asked her to come over not because she wanted to apologize, of course. She just wanted to trick Hazel into entering that room.

Callie was abducted, and Grandma Shawn had to find Callie anyway, so she would definitely take some people to find Callie. At that time, what others would see was likely that she and Callie were being assaulted.

Sure enough, she had looked down on Katie. This woman was much more vicious and difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

“She’s dealing with the consequences she deserves now,” Joshua said, with a cold light in his eyes, “There’s a wonderful drama upstairs. Would you like to watch it?”

“I’ve come downstairs. You want me to go upstairs again?” Hazel didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “Why do I need to do that?”

“You don’t need to go upstairs. Follow me.” Joshua took Hazel’s hand and led her to the lounge. Then he made a phone call and had the monitoring system connected to the TV screen in the lounge.

As soon as the screen started displaying images, Hazel saw the door of the room being knocked open, and Grandma Shawn burst in with a group of people.

“This room is the strangest one. It’s locked all the time. There must be something fishy here…” Grandma Shawn rushed in eagerly, but after seeing the scene in the room, she completely froze!

Joshua frowned slightly. He reached his hands out to cover Hazel’s eyes.

He did it all of a sudden, not because of anything else, but because several men in the image were pressing Katie underneath them and doing some indescribable exercise together.

The whole scene looked extremely obscene. All the others were shocked by the live scene, not to mention Grandma Shawn.

Hazel grabbed Joshua’s hands, amused. “I’m an adult, and it’s too late for you to stop me from watching!’

“Don’t watch it.” He still insisted.

She was speechless. She could only see through between his fingers to watch the image.

Katie was crying and moaning. Seeing so many people suddenly burst in, her whole body suddenly trembled, and she couldn’t help screaming and directly climaxing!

The people present were all adults. When they saw Katie’s current state, they all understood what had happened. Instantly, a lot of people looked at her contemptuously. This woman was too shameless. Being watched by so many people, she could actually have an orgasm…

Grandma Shawn finally came to her senses. She shouted in shock, “Katie Shawn! Why are you here? What happened?!”

Katie felt like she was floating in the clouds, but the next moment she was so scared by Grandma Shawn’s voice that she fell to the ground.

“Grandma… Ah! I, I am… ah… assaulted… ah!” Katie opened her mouth. She wanted to explain, but the men who surrounded her refused to stop at all. Instead, they fucked her harder. Moreover, Katie had a stronger sexual pleasure when she was being watched like this! Waves of sexual pleasure made her totally unable to say a complete sentence.

Of course, the people watching this found it. Not long after, a sneer sounded in the crowd.

“How could there be such a shameless woman? She’s an exhibitionist?”

“That’s true. I know her. It is said that the young master of the Watson family chased her because she was beautiful, but she was ambitious and turned her nose up at him!”

“That young master of the Watson family is really lucky. Thankfully, she didn’t agree. Otherwise, she would have cuckolded him.”

Hearing these words, Grandma Shawn trembled with anger!

“You, you shameless little bitch!” Grandma Shawn grabbed Katie’s hair insanely and slapped Katie hard across the face!

Katie gave a few painful cries, but then a man impatiently pushed Grandma Shawn away, filled the position, and blocked Katie’s mouth. In order not to be beaten, Katie cooperated well with the man.

The scene made the onlookers more speechless. Katie said she was assaulted before, but no one believed it now.

Suddenly, a man’s moan sounded. The onlookers couldn’t help looking inside. Only then did they realize that there was another man in the room!

That man was no one else. It was Hanson Bryant who conspired with Katie. Now, like Katie, he was being pressed and cruelly forced by a man.

“Oh my God! Isn’t that Hanson Bryant?”

“How could he be here? Oh no? So Hanson Bryant is bisexual? What’s more, he’s actually BOTTOM!”

“What bisexual? I think he is afraid that others will know his sexual orientation, so he intentionally uses women as a cover-up, right?”

***

Director Bryant almost fainted in the crowd!

He followed Grandma Shawn to watch the drama, but he had never expected that his son Hanson would be in it!

Director Bryant rushed over to take Hanson away.

“Get out of here! Let go of my son!” Director Bryant roared furiously.

The man who forced Hanson left Hanson’s body unhappily. His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear him clearly. “Why are you, such an old man, so unreasonable? It’s obvious that the two of them paid us to come and ask us to fuck them! Now we’ve done our work well, but you begin to play tricks?”

This statement caused uproar in the crowd. It was actually Hanson and Katie who had invited these people?

Looking at the happy look on Katie’s face, they were more convinced.

“You, talk nonsense!” Director Bryant was livid with anger.

“What nonsense?” The man continued, “Money is transferred from their accounts. If you don’t believe me, take a look yourself!”

With that, the man took out his phone and began to unlock it.

Director Bryant’s face paled. He grabbed the phone quickly and threw it straight at the wall!

The onlookers were more excited. Director Bryant’s behavior was tantamount to admitting it.

Director Bryant was very distressed now. He feared that if Hanson did transfer money, and so many people saw it, it would be completely impossible for him to explain, but in fact, the current situation was still terrible.

Hazel looked at the screen. Joshua had the monitoring camera adjusted. Now she completely lost sight of the scenes unsuitable for children.

She asked in surprise, “How did Katie Shawn gang up with Hanson Bryant?”

“Maybe it’s because they have a common goal?” Joshua said lightly.

Hazel was speechless. Come to think of it, it was true. Their goal should be to make her and Joshua break up. Although their targets were different, their goals were the same.

 

Chapter 470: I Know They Would Never Succeed

“Those guys were really hired by Katie Shawn?” Hazel looked thoughtful. “But they betrayed Katie that way… It’s because of you?”

Hazel looked at Joshua curiously. It was Joshua, of course, who could make those people change their minds in such a short time.

“Yes,” Joshua said calmly, “When I met them before, I taught them a little lesson.”

Hazel was amused. What a little lesson? It was likely that those people had suffered a lot. But that was okay. Katie hired them to begin with. Even if Katie denied it in the future, no one would believe her.

In the image, Director Bryant almost went crazy. He knew that his own son was good-for-nothing, but that was his biological son, after all. Now he was fucked in front of so many people… What face would Hanson have to stay in the imperial capital in the future?

Suddenly he remembered what Joshua had warned him before, “Either you send him away, or I’ll send him away.”

“My son is framed! Framed!” Director Bryant was furious. He took off his coat and put it on Hanson.

He said quickly, “Son, I’ll send you to the hospital first. I’m going to find Master Joshua. I’m going to find him. I’m going to ask him for an explanation for you!”

Then Director Bryant hurried to walk out of the room. Grandma Shawn, who also seemed to understand something, followed him closely.

“They seem to be looking for you.” Hazel looked at Joshua, gloating.

Joshua took a gentle bite at the corner of her lip. “Are you happy that they came to bother me?”

“Of course,” Hazel blinked, “because I know they would never succeed.”

No one trusted Joshua more than she did; he could get rid of this little trouble.

Joshua’s eyes were softer. He whispered, “Come with me?”

“No, no,” Hazel shook her head. “I’d better watch the live broadcast here. Grandma Shawn knows I met Katie. If I go there, it would only make things confusing.”

Hazel was not deliberately shirking responsibility. She knew that Grandma Shawn would probably ask her for Callie and make a scene if she went there, so she’d better not show up.

“Okay, I’ll come to see you later.” Joshua nodded. Of course, he did not want Hazel to confront the kind of incident. He could deal with it.

Joshua left the lounge and returned to the banquet.

Soon Director Bryant and Grandma Shawn took the other people back to the banquet hall. Earlier, the other people had heard Director Bryant say he was coming to Master Joshua, so they followed him curiously.

The image in front of Hazel had been adjusted to show the banquet. Looking at Director Bryant’s furious manner, she could not help wondering how Joshua would deal with it.

“Master Joshua!” Director Bryant said angrily, “I know you don’t welcome my son to this party, but even if you are very angry with him, you can just drive him away, why do you have to let someone else… ruin him?”

All the onlookers could not help looking at Joshua. According to Director Bryant’s words, Joshua and Hanson had a conflict before? But Joshua still looked very unruffled in the face of such criticism.

Joshua calmly said, “Director Bryant, I’ve just heard what happened to your son, and I have it investigated. I understand how you feel as a father, but you shouldn’t frame me up to cover up the truth.”

“I, I frame you up?!” Director Bryant was outraged. He loved his son more than he feared Joshua now. He said angrily, “It’s clearly you! You want to destroy my son so that he won’t be able to stay at home! ”

“Is it?” Joshua’s face was still very calm. He said indifferently, “Since Director Bryant insists on this, I’ll have to make public the results of the investigation.”

“I’ll see how you can reverse right and wrong!” Director Bryant spoke furiously.

“Director Bryant,” Jaxson came up and said, “in fact, Mr. President has arranged for someone to investigate immediately after the accident happened. It’s just… that the investigation is somewhat different from what we expected. As for the specific situation, you can come to watch the monitor.”

On the screen of the banquet hall, an image appeared. In it, Katie secretly led a group of men into the hotel and hid them.

After that, Katie talked with those men in a low voice. Although they couldn’t hear them clearly, all the audience could tell that Katie and the men knew each other, and they were absolutely no strangers. After that, Katie seemed to transfer money to them on the spot…

Seeing this, the hall was suddenly in an uproar as the audience discussed and Director Bryant’s face turned extremely pale.

Jaxson said with a face full of regret, “Director Bryant, these people were really invited by Miss Katie Shawn, and we also found that Katie and Master Bryant were intimate and entered the hotel room together.”

Just then, the monitor screen showed Katie and Hanson entering the hotel room together. Moreover, Hanson kept groping Katie, who didn’t resist at all. Instead, she looked like she enjoyed it.

In an instant, these images combined to give people a “truth”: Hanson and Katie knew each other, and they were very close. Today, they met and asked a group of strong men to play together. However, when they were having a good time, they were caught by Grandma Shawn with others.

The people behind Director Bryant kept discussing this. These words went into Director Bryant’s ears, making him even more ashamed. He had originally wanted to pass the buck to Joshua for his son, but he didn’t expect Joshua would have been alert, and he himself would make Hanson look more obscene.

Not only that, but even their Bryant family couldn’t stay in the Imperial capital anymore.

“It’s all your fault!” Director Bryant pointed at Grandma Shawn and scolded angrily, “It must be your granddaughter who deliberately misled my son! I’ll definitely avenge myself on your Bryant family!”

If Director Bryant hadn’t kept the last trace of reason, and Grandma Shawn was old, Director Bryant would have rushed to beat her up.

“You, you talk nonsense!” Grandma Shawn trembled with anger. “It’s your son who misled my granddaughter! My granddaughter has always been kind and obedient….”

“… If you really have me in mind, when you get Denmark Group, you’ll have to help me get the Shawn family! The old fool is trying to sell me!”

Katie’s voice suddenly sounded in the hall. The audience followed the voice and then saw that Katie and Hanson were cuddling each other in a very ambiguous position. Katie exactly said the statement!

“That old fool is really wicked! What are you going to do with her….”

“… When I get the Shawn family, I’ll put her in some old men’s bed! Let her ‘sacrifice’ for the Shawn family!”
