Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Joshua’s heart could not help but sink.

Isaac’s word ‘Hazel’ and his particularly gentle attitude toward her gave him a bad feeling.

“You don’t seem to want to clarify it now?” His eyes became deep.

“Clarify what?” Isaac played a fool.

“Fine,” Joshua spoke calmly and appeared relaxed instead.

Noticing he was so calm, Isaac felt nervous. Joshua was not easy to get agitated. And, the calmer he was, the more trouble there would be.

The door banged open, and a woman with a beautiful face came in, her eyes red.

“Isaac Anderson!” The woman looked at him with grief and indignation.

Isaac looked at the woman in horror like a mouse seeing a cat. “How did you know I was here?”

Hazel was stunned. She looked at Isaac in surprise. “Aren’t you… aren’t you Joshua? You lied to me?”

“Hazel, I didn’t lie to you,” Isaac hurriedly explained. “I never said I was Joshua.”

Hazel was annoyed.

What was that?

He didn’t say he was Joshua, but he didn’t say he wasn’t! When she recalled back, every word of Isaac seemed to have been trapping and misleading her deliberately!

The woman came close to Isaac and grabbed his arm. “You, asshole! Scum! We’re engaged, and you said you would go with me for the abortion, but you’re here lying a little girl! You are a monster!”

“What abortion?!” Isaac’s face went pale with fear. “Only our families agreed on the engagement. I never did! Besides, why is your abortion was related to me?!”

“The child is yours!” said the woman, with a sad, angry look on her face. “Are you not going to be responsible?”

“Come on, let’s make it clear!” Isaac, with a dark look on his face, then he pulled the woman out of the room.

“Look, he’s a liar,” Joshua looked at Isaac’s back, a smile slightly curving his lips. “And he’s scum and swindler who is unwilling to be responsible for his fiancée. Stay away from him.”

The incident had happened so fast that Hazel hadn’t come to her senses yet.

What he had said was a little reasonable, but… he was actually Joshua.

All sorts of feelings like… embarrassment, guilt, vigilance, doubt, and fear, came to mind.

Noticing that she was still keeping her distance from him, Joshua raised his eyebrows. “Still don’t believe me? Should I call Larry in to testify?”

“… Unnecessary.” She said very reluctantly. “That… Thank you for the dress incident.”

“You mean I took off your dress?” He grinned.

“No! I mean, you found out who ruined my dress!” She went crazy.

Was he sick? Why did he always like to think things ambiguously?

“Just ‘thank you?” His eyes flickered.

“What do you want?” She stared at him anxiously.

“Sit down and have dinner.” There was a little bit of evil in his smile. “Or… do you want to have me?”

Why did she think his every word was nasty? Hazel was sad.

“No need for dinner,” she said, carefully moving toward the door. “Now that I have expressed my thanks, I’ll be leaving…”

His eyes dimmed, he opened his mouth quietly. “I was looking to see today for something else. Dinner is incidental.”

“What is it?”

“To meet someone.”

“Whom?” she asked. The next moment, quickly, she said, “No way!”

“Are you sure?” His eyes flashed a convincing smile. “You beat him up for no reason yesterday. You really won’t apologize to him?”

In an instant, she paused, uncertain. She hit the wrong person yesterday and then ran away. It was quite immoral. She should apologize.

Feeling embarrassed, she said, “Let’s go now. I don’t have to have dinner…”

“The dishes have been ordered. How wasteful would that be?” He said, unruffled.

Visiting Jaxson was just an excuse. It was true that he wanted to get Hazel to stay for dinner.

She became more uncertain. She thought for a long time and finally sat down, keeping her distance from him.

“Alright… By the way, why hasn’t that man come back?”

Seeing her looking toward the door with anticipation, he somehow felt uncomfortable.

“He won’t come back,” he spoke softly.

“How do you know that?” She looked at him in wonder.

Of course, he knew it.

Joshua had texted Isaac’s ‘fiancée’ before he entered the room.

And he specifically told her not to hurt Hazel but to show her Isaac’s true self.

“Didn’t they say they were going to have an abortion?” Joshua’s mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners.

“Oh,” she said, the look of awareness did not fade from her face.

The waiters knocked on the door, then came in, serving the wine and food that Isaac had ordered.

Joshua raised his brows as he looked at the bottles of wine on the table.

“Did you order them?” He looked at her.

“Not me.” She quickly shook her head. “Mr. Anderson did. You can cancel them.”

He frowned slightly. Why did Isaac order so much wine for no reason? It looked like something had happened, but Hazel was unwilling to tell him.

“No,” he said to the waiters. “These drinks are on Isaac Anderson’s account.”

He and Isaac were both regular customers, and all the waitresses recognized them, so they immediately consented to it.

“Oh my…” She couldn’t help laughing.

With this smile, the tension in the room eased immediately.

His face softened a little, and he looked at her surprised. “Is that so funny?”

She nodded. “You and Anderson, Anderson…”

“Isaac Anderson.”

“Yeah. You’re supposed to be friends, aren’t you?” she said, amused. “But you actually play tricks on each other?”

“Who hasn’t had a few bad friends?” He was more or less defenseless.

“That’s right.” She agreed and nodded. “My bad friends hurt me…”

“They hurt you?” His eyes flickered.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“It wasn’t really hurting,” she quickly explained.

“Mm,” he said and looked at her gently. “Aren’t you afraid of me anymore?”

She was instantly speechless.

She was a little afraid of Joshua. After all, he was like her Nemesis, and she could do nothing to him.

But just now… when she saw that Joshua set Isaac up, she suddenly felt that although Joshua was evil, he was at least a normal person and was not so terrifying.

But she didn’t want to further her relationship with him at all!
