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
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…&rd
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, sh
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.
“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!”
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?”
