"Photographs?" Hazel frowned.
"Of course! Otherwise, how can my Prince Charming know what his candidates look like?"
"Can we just provide our photos?"
"Do you have any idea about technology these days? Photos provided by participants can be altered! Relax, my Prince Charming isn’t going to do anything with photos shot by his staff."
Hazel still did not show any interest in it. She quickly shook her head and said, "I’d rather not. What if I got selected..."
"Hazel, you are such a bold girl. You are just one step away from my list of rivals!" Ariel stared at her with a stunned look, "Do you know how many people have signed up for this preliminary selection? It is said that there are nearly 100,000 people! One out of 100,000, do you think you got that luck?"
"100,000 people!" Hazel was a bit shocked. She said, "One grand each person, that makes...one hundred million? Holy, rich people really have a lot of nerve. This is not for choosing a surrogate mother. This is choosing an imperial concubine!"
"Better than choosing an Imperial Concubine, ok?" Ariel said with her worship, "You don't get paid winning a selection for Imperial Concubine! But my Prince Charming is really generous and considerate. He really wants to give his fans some pocket money! Do you see a guy that nice every day?"
"In the end, you’re in for that thousand dollars..." Summer stated from her bed.
"Aren’t you?" Hazel looked at her strangely.
"I'm in for that one in one hundred thousand." Summer rubbed her temples which were still pulsing with intoxication, and said, "Isn't the odds better than buying a lottery ticket?"
"You said that your boyfriend just dumped you." Ariel was alerted and said, "And you went drinking yesterday. How could you be over that so quickly?"
"It is because of losing a love that I need Prince Charming to help me out see the light," Summer said seriously.
Hazel admired her spirit and thought, "That explains why Ariel sees you as a rival."
"However, the eyes of the Prince are too picky," Summer said with her face down on her bed.
"Yeah. There are still re-selections after the preliminary selection. But so many participants, none of them has even passed the preliminary selection yet!" Ariel sighed.
"So, you just need to give up and make room for the eligible."
"Why don’t you give up?"
Hazel had enough with the two of them. But since this thing had nothing to do with her, she frowned and said, “I don't want his thousand dollars. Now you just..."
Before she even finished, she heard a boy standing downstairs and shouting loudly, "Kyla! Kyla Lee! I love you! I can't sleep without you..."
The three girls in the dorm room were suddenly all back on the same team. Ariel was furious and said, "Shit, that scum Derek Sanchez is here again! Hazel, wait here. I will kick his ass!"
"Hey..." Hazel wanted to stop her, but Ariel had rushed into the bathroom and was carrying out a bucket of water, heading towards the balcony. Hazel sighed, "I have nothing to do with this..."
"This is no longer something between you and him." Summer crawled off the bed with a serious look on her face, "Derek has evolved from disgusting you to disgusting the entire dormitory. I'm with Ariel this time!"
Hazel put her hand up to her forehead.
"And, thank you for last night," Summer said as she was filling a cup of water.
"My pleasure. But please don't go to that kind of place in the future." Images from last night came to her mind. When she recalled Joshua's smirk, Hazel couldn't help but frown.
"I know." Summer turned her head back and asked, "Did anything happen to you?"
"...Nothing," Hazel said in depression.
"That's good," Summer breathed a sigh of relief, "Ariel said that you brushed your teeth for half an hour last night. I thought someone would hurt you."
Hazel was even more depressed, "I didn't brush for half an hour..."
There was a noise of water going over the balcony, followed by an angry scream from Derek downstairs, "Who is it? Who did that to me?"
"It's me!" Ariel shouted, "Derek, you are such a pervert! What are you doing here this early in the morning? You can save your energy and just get out of here!"
"I'm not looking for you..." Derek was really outraged, but his face went soft the moment he saw Hazel appear on the balcony.
"Get lost!" Ariel yelled at him, "Next time, you will get more water if you are still that thirsty!" Derek was downstairs feeling helpless. He grunted coldly and disappeared.
Suddenly, the entire dormitory building was full of applause and bravos.
Hazel was about to criticize Ariel, but she could not do that when the whole building was encouraging Ariel's action.
"That guy is still afraid of you." Ariel sighed, "He looked at you like a mouse looking at a cat."
"Do you want to be afraid of me too?" Hazel asked with a mild smile.
"Hell no." Ariel hurriedly shook her head.
"Then cancel my registration already!" Hazel gasped her teeth.
"You still remember that? How can I cancel the online registration?" Ariel said, smiling with tears. She thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that your mother's birthday is coming soon? Just use this money to buy her a gift."
Ariel hit the jackpot. Hazel was thinking of that too.
"Just think about it, you will just be accompanying me in the preliminary selection like an overseer." Ariel said like a wounded mascot, "You don't want me to go there alone, right? It is said to be a selection for a surrogate mother, but who knows what kind of trap it could be! If you are not around, I won't have any help if it is dangerous! Come on, my dear Hazel..."
"It's OK!" Seeing that Ariel actually began to cajole her, Hazel had to say, "Just this once! Next time you will know what fear is!"
"Uh-huh!" Ariel rejoiced and promised.
Joshua opened a drawer in his study and took out a thick book.After flipping through a few pages, he stopped, his eyes were fixed on a photo hidden in the book pages. Looking at the photo silently, Joshua was somewhat depressed."Is she...still alive?"The door of the study suddenly came pushed open. Joshua closed the book and looked up, displeased.When he clearly saw the intruder, Joshua said with some reluctance, "Isaac Anderson, when will you learn to knock before opening the door?""OK." Isaac's hands were shoved in his pockets. His amorous eyes were half-shut. He said with a cynical smile, "When you have a girlfriend, I will learn to knock."Regardless of his ridicule, Josh
Ariel woke up at four in the morning and managed to drag Hazel out of bed too. They had to leave early to go to the Transcendence Plaza.The interviews were being held in a large local photo studio. Outside the door, there were already many employees trying to arrange the interviews in an orderly manner."Do I need to participate?" Hazel frowned, thinking of her vulnerability."Hey Hazel, come on, you don’t quit anything!" Ariel persuaded her, "With you here, I feel more assured.""I can still be on your side even if I don't participate!" Hazel was struggling."Stop that already!" Ariel pulled her body and said, "Alone, I will have an odd of one in 100,000. With you, our chance is one in 50,000!"
Derek had chased after Hazel for a while, but she didn’t want anything to do with him. However, Derek told everyone that Hazel was his girlfriend, making up a convincing story.Hazel clarified several times, but Derek was very mischievous. More and more people believed they were together and thought Hazel was lying.Hazel was mad at Derek. One day she took Derek directly into a groove...and beat the hell out of him!Since then, Derek did not dare say anything about Hazel. She thought things were settled.But, after Derek and Kyla got together, she told others Derek dumped Hazel and chose her.For a long time after that, everyone looked at Hazel with sympathy, as if they were looking at an abandoned woman.
The entire studio grew instantly quiet, as this was the first time they encountered this type of incident.Hazel was feeling so embarrassed. Her mind went blank. How could this be?Suddenly, a figure rushed onto the stage, took off his coat, and put it around her.Hazel gratefully looked up but saw a man in front of her staring at her chest, and... this person looked familiar.Her face turned red immediately. She still didn’t realize that this gentleman, who just helped her out, was the same pervert she met the other day!Hazel quickly closed the coat to cover her chest.Joshua was a little disappointed. He reached out to Hazel's chest and said, "Let go of your hands, I have
"No." He shook his head and said, "I really am...""Yes! Yes! Yes! You are Joshua The Almighty!" Hazel said impatiently, "What are you worried about, Master Joshua? With your supernatural power and resources, you will find me even if I ran away, right?"Joshua went silent.He spent too much time finding her and evading the eyes of others. He would not let Hazel go when he finally saw her.Although he already knew who he was seeking now and he had her detailed information, Joshua wanted to clarify the misunderstanding between them quickly.After taking a deep breath, Joshua began to complain, "You did not recognize me, and yet you still followed a stranger?"This little girl had so
As a pungent smell rushed towards his face, Jaxson screamed.The next moment, Ariel grabbed the coat from Jaxson's hands and put it directly on his head!Ariel could not have been any ruder. She attacked Jaxson with a storm of punches and said, "You degenerate son of bitch! That's what you get when you piss off a lady!"Jaxson couldn't open his eyes at all, and his throat was burning. He could only try hard to dodge the punches from Ariel."Hazel!" Ariel yelled.Hazel rushed out of the corner of the corridor.Hazel knew Joshua would definitely be alerted if she came by herself, so she asked Ariel to deliver the coat.In fact, Hazel did
Suddenly, Hazel looked at Summer questionably."What? Is there something on my face?" Summer touched her cheek."Summer, do you remember what happened in the bar that day?" Hazel asked."I cannot remember clearly. I drank too much that day." Summer frowned.‘When Ariel and I got to the bar, we heard you were taken to the men's room by a few guys, but I just saw one guy when I got in there. Do you remember that?"Summer thought for a moment and said, "Oh, yes. There was one guy who ran those little hooligans away from the men's room. Now when I think of it, that man who saved me was a handsome guy."Hazel was stunned by the horny look on Summer’s face.
"You said you don't know what Hazel is talking out, right?" Ariel sneered, "How come you suddenly know about the content of that post so clearly?""Give me a break. That post was so popular, so it's natural everyone knows what happened!" Kyla glanced at them with a scornful look, "And I did show someone some respect because I did not disclose the name of that heroine!""Kyla, don't say I didn't give you a chance." Hazel took out the phone unsympathetically and said, "Maybe we should get the police to play with us.""Oh, Hazel, do you think the police will care about that little thing of yours?" Kyla snorted."Kyla, the police are not as useless as you think." Hazel said coldly, "The number of hits of that post has exceeded 5,000. And with what you did to my dress, your p
