Chapter 1064 - 352: You’re Very Nosey

Susan hesitated for a moment before she finally said, "I did like Joshua.

After all, I thought only I would be a perfect match for him. But he's so fierce that I just hope that I won't need to have anything to do with him again. And, by that, I mean, I wish you were the daughter of the Denmark family."

"Is it good to be Denmark's family's daughter?" Hazel's eyes drooped, dispirited.

Her parents were suddenly no longer her biological parents because of her newfound identity. Besides, she had been in danger several times; she had been plotted against by a large number of people. Worse still, it was very likely that she had no idea who her biological parents were. If she could choose, she wouldn't be the long-lost daughter of Marcus and Cate.

"Hey! Don't you care what I said?" Susan said angrily, "Are you so confident in Joshua? Aren't you afraid he is with you because you're the daughter of the Denmark family? It turns out that Mandy is the daughter, aren't you worried he will be with her?"

Hazel turned away, a bit annoyed. "You're very nosey."

Susan got even angrier. "I'm helping you, but you actually think I'm just nosey? Why aren't you making any effort?"

Hazel heaved a sigh in frustration. She wasn't confident, but she just didn't want to think about it. However, Susan was desperately trying to force her to face one of the most painful things in her life. 

"Is the situation something that my efforts can really change?" Hazel was helpless.

"No..." Susan said with acknowledgment, "You should capture Joshua's heart firmly, though. Even if I can't be with him, I don't want Mandy to be with him! If that bitch really succeeds, she would be very smug!"

Hazel was a little speechless, it seemed that Susan had a much stronger hatred for Mandy.

"What are you fighting about?" The door of the break room opened, and Sunny walked in. She looked at Susan with disapproval. "I heard you outside."

"We're not fighting." Susan stood up and said awkwardly.

"Miss Crowe, Susan didn't cause any trouble, did she?" Sunny smiled quietly. She was still polite as before and seemed totally unaffected by Mandy and the accusations.

"No." Hazel stood up and said quietly, "We're just talking, but maybe our voices were a little too loud."

"Okay." Sunny nodded at Hazel and pulled Susan out by her hand.

Not long after they left, Joshua walked in.

"Is the meeting over?" she asked.

"Yes."

"What's the result?"

"Nothing," said Joshua quietly. "As Aunt Sunny said, the evidence we have at the present time cannot prove who is real and who is fake."

"Let's go home." Hazel heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling a little unhappy as she had guessed the result.

Joshua nodded.

The driver was already waiting in the parking lot. Joshua asked him to get out of the car, and he got into the driver's seat.

"What are you doing?" Hazel looked at him in surprise.

"Get in, I want to show you around," he whispered.

"Oh?" She looked at him in astonishment, but eventually, she got into the passenger's seat.

The car sped away in the direction of the countryside.

"Where are we going?" She looked out the window blankly.

"I don't know," he answered calmly.

"Oh?" She looked at Joshua in amazement as he drove without a flicker of emotion.

"Let's run away." He looked serious.

She was stunned because it didn't look like he was joking. Suddenly, she felt relieved.

All Hazel could think was, screw Denmark Group! Screw the directors! Screw real or fake daughters!

She was going to throw everything away and escape with Joshua.

"Okay, let's go!" Her eyes were sparkling, she happily agreed.

Looking at her clear, bright eyes, Joshua smiled. They drove for a while longer and then stopped at a pond because Hazel suddenly said she wanted to fish. Joshua paid a local fisherman a large sum for his fishing gear so that Hazel could play.

She cast her line a few times but didn't catch anything but leaves, so she got frustrated. A group of young men with bright colored hair walked up to the pond and took out their fishing rods.

They noticed that Hazel was not catching anything, they started whispering, and then a man with red hair walked over to her and said, "Honey, let me teach you."

"Don't bother." Joshua wrapped his arm around Hazel and held her hand as he said quietly. "I can teach her."

The red-haired man looked back at his friends. Seeing they were all laughing at him, he was suddenly annoyed. "Hey, toy boy! I won't do anything to your girl. I just want to teach her how to fish. What are you afraid of?"

"Poo—!" Hazel couldn't help laughing out loud.

There was actually someone calling Joshua a toyboy. He was good-looking and gentle, so others naturally had the illusion that he was very harmless.

"Look, your girl likes me a little more!" The red-haired young man said proudly. "I told you! I think I might have a crush on her, you must let me have her!"

In the blink of an eye, he punched Joshua in the face. Joshua's expression didn't change, and he calmly stepped in front of Hazel. He grabbed the man's wrist with a tight grip.

"You, you…" After several attempts, the red-haired man failed to withdraw his hand. In the end, he had no choice but to look at Joshua, he was absolutely frightened.

Joshua was not worried about how scared he was, he punched him in the face.

"Hey, why did you hit him?!" The man's friends rushed over shouting, but Joshua was totally unconcerned about them.

He was still holding on to the man's wrist when he hit his friends, the man saw it as an opportunity and lunged at Hazel.

"Stop it, or I won't let your girl go!" he growled as he was about to put his arm around her neck. 

Joshua only cast a quick glance at him, he was not going to stop. Hazel snorted, grabbed the red-haired man's wrist, and twisted it.

He let out a miserable scream, and without hesitation, Hazel kicked him and yelled, "Get out of here!"

Seeing they couldn't win against Joshua and Hazel, they fled in panic.

"Are you happy now?" Joshua came to Hazel.

"Yes, I'm in a better mood," she said, laughing. "Here you go. I don't want to go fishing anymore."

She handed the rod to him and picked up some small stones by the pond to skip.

Before long, Joshua had caught several fishes. She was taken aback. "You can even fish?"
