“...” Simon was extremely angry with him. Finally, he snapped, gritting his teeth, “Whose side do you take?”
Joshua’s eyes went dark. “I’m giving you a chance to prove yourself.”
“What?” Simon looked at him with a puzzle.
“Our plan failed last time because something went wrong because of you,” Joshua said, picking up the wine glass and playing with it gently. “That’s why things end up like this today.”
In an instant, Simon looked a little gloomy. He had been kicking himself over it. Even if he knew Joshua was safe now, he would not say frankly that it was not his fault.
“What exactly are you trying to say?” Simon said irritab
His words couldn’t comfort Hazel at all.She frowned. Ian Flores hated Joshua very much, so if Ian knew that Joshua was alive, Ian would make a desperate attempt to avenge himself on Joshua. What was more, Joshua deliberately wanted to be reunited with the Sloane family, which would make Ian have more hatred of Joshua.But Ian would only risk everything when he was very sure that he could win.Just as Ian used Stacy to threaten Joshua last time, even if Ian did go to Joshua this time, Ian would be fully prepared.Worse still... Hazel felt a little flustered for no reason. She had a feeling that things were not going so well this time somehow and that there was something they did not know.“Simon, we have to be car
“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.
“Even if you were to tell me, why did you insist on my coming to you?” she whispered. “Let’s wait until Joshua comes….”“It involves my mother, and I don’t want anyone to know about it, especially Joshua,” he said in a deep tone. “Hazel, I’m just trying to convince you one last time. Even if I lied to you before, do you suspect I’d hurt you?”Looking at his wounded face, she could not help freezing a little. Indeed, Simon had done some outrageous things before, but at least he had never intended to hurt her. She was really a little ruthless by being so wary of him.“Good.” she opened her mouth. “If you can’t convince me, stay.”His eyes flashed, and he finally nod
“Joshua…” She called his name with somewhat impatience.We can’t let Simon go. She felt that something would happen if they let him go. It was very strange; she seemed to be on the verge of figuring out something important, but now she still could not figure it out.“Hazel, what are you thinking about?” Even on such a tense occasion, Simon was rarely amused by her. He couldn’t help speaking, “You actually expect Joshua to risk your life just to keep me? Joshua, will you do that?”“What do you think?” Joshua spoke coldly.The people around Simon were scattering, which was his answer.“That’s right!&rdq
Hazel Crowe frowned because of the deafening music in the surroundings.She passed through the crowd under the dim light and glanced around at the faces of the men and women who were indulging themselves on the dance floor, and quickly looked away."Hi cutie, come to have a drink. It's on me." A drunken man said as he got in Hazel’s way."Go away!" Hazel said coldly, her voice full of impatience.The drunken man was very disgruntled. He reached out one of his arms to stop her.Seeing his arm in front of her, Hazel suddenly grabbed his wrist and strongly twisted it."Ouch!" The man yelled, but his voice quickly disappeared in the loud music.
Hazel arrogantly walked out of the men's room, but when the door shut, Hazel felt beaten. Her beautiful face was full of anger and frustration.Hazel clenched her fists as she had never come across such a big loss before!She went there to rescue her roommate, but her first kiss had been stolen. She had to play a small trick to get out of the situation and use a few threats which could prove nothing.Hazel really wanted to head back inside and beat Joshua, but...she was no match for him in terms of power!Hazel was still very aware of the situation. She had to swallow the less-than-perfect victory. All in all, Summer was fine.Hazel hurried out of the bar to see Ariel holding the drunken Summer on the nearby corner.
"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
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
