Soon there was a look of disappointment on Rachel’s face.
Hazel couldn’t help laughing in secret. She knew Rachel well. Rachel was disappointed not because Joshua didn’t cook well, but because he cooked so well that she couldn’t find any fault.
“How’s that, huh?” Hazel asked, begging for praise.
“Well…” Rachel was not a good liar. Even though she didn’t want to, she still told the truth. “Not bad.”
“My mom’s ‘not bad’ means great!” Hazel happily interpreted.
Rachel glared at Hazel unhappily but agreed.
“Thanks, mom.” A smile played on Joshua’s lips. The mo
This was too weird. Hazel couldn’t help frowning as she couldn’t figure it out.Grandpa Sloane was very concerned about Joshua but insisted on refusing to reunite with him. Even though obviously he wanted to listen to the things related to Joshua, he still wanted to drive her away.Why on earth was that?Hazel’s fingers tightened; she didn’t want to give up like that.If the Sloane family simply hated Joshua and didn’t want to reunite with him, she would definitely say nothing. But now, it was clear that Grandpa Sloane cared about Joshua very much, but he deliberately distanced himself from them because of some reason unknown to them.He and Joshua both had each other on their minds, and they int
Watching Grandpa Sloane’s caring face, Hazel felt guilty.He really cared about her, but she deceived him in this way.However, she bit her lips slightly and held back the guilty in the heart. She must struggle to ease the Sloane family’s relationship with Joshua.“No, I’m not fine!” Her eyes turned to look somewhere else, wandering. Then she gritted her teeth. “I have a headache, my arms ache, my legs ache... It hurts all over anyway.”“Leo, help Miss Crowe go into the car and take her to the hospital!” Grandpa Sloane said nervously.“I…” Guilty came over her heart again, but in the end, she didn’t change her mind.
Apart from this, she couldn’t find any reason why her phone didn’t ring.She hurried to call Joshua. The phone was answered quickly, and she asked nervously, “... Honey, I didn’t hear your call just now. Why do you call me?”Joshua was silent for a while before speaking quietly, “We'll talk about it when we meet.”She felt a jolt in her brain. What did Joshua say? Talk about it when they met?Did she hear that right?She was about to say something, but his phone had been directly hung up.She was even more confused. Why did Joshua hang up before she told him where she was?Suddenly, she had a b
Joshua slightly relaxed his grip as he felt a little helpless somehow.The little girl was sure he had no resistance to her, so she… licked his fingers at such a time?He paused for just a moment, and Hazel freed herself from him and pushed his hand away.This was a tricky situation. As long as Joshua was around, he wouldn’t give Grandpa Sloane any face, so now she must take him away to prevent him from saying anything hurtful to Grandpa Sloane.“Joshua, this is a misunderstanding,” she said, grabbing his wrist and taking him straight out the door. “Let’s go home. Let’s go, go! I’m fine.”Joshua’s eyes turned a little deeper, but she eventually took him away.
Hazel couldn’t help looking back and saw Katie’s face, which was white as a sheet.Hazel had unspoken criticism in the heart. Joshua was really… heartless! He didn’t give Katie any face at all. He seemed to be completely unaware of her presence, which was the most hurtful.After all, Katie must have come prepared if she dared to shout that she needed five minutes.As they walked into the elevator, Hazel asked curiously, “Denmark Group and the Shawn family are working on a project?”“Denmark Group works with a lot of companies,” Joshua said. “It wouldn’t be surprising if the Shawn family is working with us on one of our projects.”“Oh…” She n
The security guard who stopped Katie complained to his colleagues helplessly. Since then, the fact that Katie waited downstairs at Denmark Group had spread among employees at Denmark Group.Hazel’s lips twitched.It seemed Katie planned to keep waiting to let Joshua see her sincerity to “impress” him in this way.After that, Hazel returned to the President’s office.Joshua came back ahead of her.“Where have you been?” he asked in surprise.“The secretaries’ office,” she said, looking at him darkly. “I heard an interesting story.”“What?” He cocked an eyebrow
Downstairs, Katie had fled in a panic, but naturally, the media would not let her go so quickly. They followed her closely behind.Katie hadn’t had much contact with the press, but she did have contact. Because of the relationship of her identity, she had been a noble lady in front of the media. As for the fact that she was a mistress’s daughter, she had always kept it a secret.Besides, the events of the Shawn family were basically decided by Grandma Shawn, whom Katie usually tried hard to curry favor with, so other members in the Shawn family dared not say much about it outside.Now, however, Joshua let out the secret and exposed Katie’s worst fears to the public.Hazel could even imagine lots of shady secrets of the Shawn family would be revealed by
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 fami
