Chapter 1300 - 588: You’re Stupid

"Hazel, are you kidding me?!" He looked at her in shock. "They say a pregnant woman is always stupid. You're not so stupid as to fall into this trap by yourself, are you?"

"You're stupid! Your whole family is stupid!" She was furious.

"You are my sister-in-law, and my whole family includes you." He pointed it out without mercy, but he scolded himself immediately after he had said this. He was really quite used to the identity of being Joshua's younger brother. When he said these words, he was not thinking at all.

Ignoring his words, Hazel said with a solemn expression, "For some reason, I think this is very weird. I didn't mean only myself when I said I wanted to go with you. We'll take all the men.

"If he only plans to lure you away, his scheme is doomed to fail. If he really just wants to tell you something, I don't think he'll mind if you take a few men for your safety, will he?"

"No, I won't take you with me." Simon's face darkened, and his attitude was decidedly firm.

She stared at his pocket, her eyes deep, "What is that pocket watch about?"

His body stiffened suddenly.

In an instant, her eyes became sharp. Sure enough, she was right. There must be something about the watch that made Simon change his mind when he saw it.

"Are you sure you're going?" He looked at her suddenly.

"Yes!" She nodded without hesitation.

"Go then," he said in a deep tone.

She didn't expect that he would agree so easily. She asked incredulously, "Do you agree?"

"What else can I do if I don't agree?" He frowned impatiently. "Come on, I'm in a hurry."

"Mmm," she hurried to agree. She walked to the door and reached for her phone, ready to tell Joshua.

Suddenly, she felt a pain in the back of her neck, and everything went black.

"You..." She turned her head around in disbelief and looked with astonishment at Simon, who had given her a surprise attack. The next moment she felt her body went weak.

"Sorry, Hazel, I can't let you follow me." Simon caught her quickly and said quietly, "This is… none of your business."

His voice trailed off, and her eyes closed slowly and heavily.

The door closed, and Hazel lying on the sofa, struggled to open her eyes. Helplessly, she bit the tip of her tongue. Finally, the pain from the tip of her tongue made her gradually awake.

This Simon had really hit her hard... She struggled to get up from the sofa and rubbed the back of her neck in pain. Simon had promised too quickly, so she was very alert, but she had not expected him to attack her so soon. Fortunately, she was a little defensive, so she didn't pass out directly. But it really hurt...

After a while, Hazel was completely awake at long last. She picked up her phone and hurriedly called Joshua.

The call was quickly put through. Joshua's soft voice was full of concern. "Hazel, what happened?"

"Joshua," she said, rubbing her neck, "something's wrong."

Then she told him simply what had happened.

"For some reason, I think something is wrong this time." She frowned. "Ian Flores wants to meet Simon at this point. It mustn't be that simple."

"Mm, where are you now?" he asked in a deep tone. This was really too weird. He had expected Ian Flores to take aim at him now that he was so lively. However, Ian Flores ignored him and wanted to meet Simon.

Whatever he thought, he felt there was something fishy. Ian Flores must be up to something big.

"I'm going to stop him," Hazel didn't hide her plan from him. "Your men and Simon's men are protecting me right now. He went alone. I think something bad would happen."

"Mmm, I'll get someone to work with you and try to stop him first," Joshua whispered, "but Hazel, if you can't stop him, don't force yourself. Remember, your safety is the most important. I'll be right there."

"... Okay." She nodded in agreement.

She understood that Joshua was worried about her safety. It was Joshua's best concession that he would allow her to stop Simon first. For now, she had to try to stop Simon first.

After hanging up, Hazel opened the door and saw Jaxson, who happened to come to the door.

"Madam." Jaxson opened his mouth. Joshua had asked him on the walkie-talkie to stop Simon.

Jaxson spoke, "Get into this wheelchair, and I'll push you to chase after Simon King."

"..." She was speechless. She was just pregnant, but she was not disabled. Anyway, she knew that Joshua would be worried if she ran after Simon too fast. It was not the right time to argue about such a mere trifle, so she said nothing more and got into the wheelchair.

Soon Jaxson received word that Simon had been stopped by Joshua's men in the parking lot.

Hazel didn't know how Joshua stopped Simon until Jaxson pushed her to the parking lot.

Several cars surrounded Simon's car directly, and Joshua's men even pointed their guns at Simon and refused to allow him to budge.

Simon was angry and frustrated. He knew that these men were carrying anesthetic rifles, but even so, he would not be able to meet Ian Flores if he was shot. However, he must go.

Suddenly, his fingers tightened as he watched Hazel arrive.

"Simon," she said and frowned, getting up from the wheelchair, "Joshua is coming. You just wait for him. We can discuss when he arrives."

His eyes dimmed a little. "No need. Hazel, let me go."

"No," she spoke in a firm tone. "Unless you tell me why you're in such a hurry to leave."

Ian Flores could make Simon anxious to leave with only one pocket watch. Then would Ian have something else that could threaten Simon? After all, he was Simon's uncle, who knew Simon better than others.

Simon was angry and helpless. Hazel and Joshua were too difficult to deal with. If Joshua came, it would be more impossible for him to leave.

Simon took out the pocket watch from his pocket. "Come, and I'll tell you."

"What do you want?" She stared at him warily.

"Don't you want to know?" he was furious. "I want to tell you, but you doubt me?"

She was very speechless. Would she disbelieve him if he hadn't done something similar before? Moreover, even now, she did not feel that Simon was really going to tell her.
