Chasing The Fierce Heiress

The servant was surprised by Hazel’s tough attitude, but she didn’t take it to heart anymore. Instead, she said, “Mrs. Denmark, I have to go back to my master and tell him about your reply.”

“Do you want to use Mr. King to threaten me?” Hazel interrupted coldly.

Perhaps it was because she was so kind that the servant thought Hazel was easy to deal with!

“… That’s not what I meant,” the servant retorted. Although Hazel’s imposing manner shocked her, she still looked down upon Hazel, “I’m a master’s servant, so you might as well let me go…”

“Take her down!” Hazel said in a deep voice.

The servants in West House had been replaced by Joshua and were all his confidants. Hearing Hazel’s orders, they immediately come forward and stop the servant.

“Mrs. Denmark, you…” The servant looked at Hazel in shock. How dare she?!

“What gives you the illusion that I was afraid of Mr. King?” Hazel spoke coldly, “He’s Joshua’s biological father, so I respect him for that. But that doesn’t mean I have to bear the humiliation and swallow his anger when he or his men misbehave! And I want to see if Mr. King will fall out with Joshua because I punish a servant like you!”

The servant was terrified by Hazel’s icy manner. She knew that Hazel wasn’t joking or bluffing. Maybe Hazel was worried about Ted, but how could Hazel possibly be worried about her? Even if Hazel did something to her, Ted wouldn’t really do anything to Hazel because Joshua was very protective of Hazel.

“You have one last chance,” Hazel spoke coldly. She took out her phone and calmly dialed Joshua’s number in front of the servant.

Noticing Hazel was serious, the servant turned pale and said hastily, “Don’t, don’t call! I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!”

Hazel calmly hung up the phone and looked at her coldly.

The servant was really shocked by her behavior and whispered in a guilty voice, “Mrs. Denmark, don’t, don’t blame me. Others are all spreading the rumor… in fact, I don’t believe it.”

“What is it about?!” Hazel snapped.

“They all say…” the servant hesitated, then spoke guiltily, “the child in your belly is not Master Joshua’s.”

Hazel got really mad! She could put up with anything, but she would never allow anyone to speak ill of her child!

“What else?” Hazel snapped.

“No, nothing more…” The servant looked flustered.

“She is only a servant. Why do you make things difficult for her, Miss Crowe?” Suddenly, an arrogant voice sounded outside the door, “Don’t you yourself know what you’ve done?”

Hazel looked up and saw Cynthia enter with a haughty air.

She recognized Cynthia at one glance. Over these two days, Hazel had heard Cynthia stayed at the manor. Cynthia was Ted’s guest, and Hazel understood what Ted was up to. However, Cynthia had been very quiet over these days, and Hazel certainly wouldn’t take the initiative to ask for trouble.

This time Cynthia actually came to Hazel herself.

“Oh?” Hazel wore a peaceful face. “I really don’t know what I have done.”

Cynthia’s lips curled up in disdain as her eyes were full of undisguised disgust. “I didn’t come here today to tell you that. Hazel Crowe, you know me, and you should know why I’m here. I won’t say anything else. I know you come to Joshua for his money. How much money can make you leave him?”

Hazel froze. She thought she had misheard. However, when she saw Cynthia’s earnest look, Hazel knew that Cynthia was clearly not joking.

In an instant, Hazel was speechless. Cynthia was, in the end, a daughter from a rich family. When she opened her mouth, Cynthia directly went straight to the point without beating about the bush. It was clearly the first time the two women had met.

“I wonder how much you can offer?” Hazel asked with a half-smile.

It was Cynthia’s turn to freeze.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She had thought Hazel would at least get angry and say what she and Joshua had was true love, and that Cynthia was insulting her, and that she would never be bought off, etc.

Cynthia was even mentally prepared to unmark Hazel, but Hazel didn’t follow the script and directly asked Cynthia how much she could offer!

Soon, Cynthia came to her senses, and there was more disdain in her heart. “50 million dollars is enough for you to have a great life for the whole life!”

“Fifty million dollars?” Hazel thought she had heard a big joke. She looked at Cynthia, puzzled. “Well… have you investigated me before you came to meet me? Do you know what the market value of the Denmark Group is?”

Denmark Group was a behemoth in Country Z. Even though the Bryant family had a deep background, it had been declining over the years and was likely no match for Denmark Group.

Hazel really wanted to know why Cynthia offered 50 million dollars.

“Of course.” Cynthia looked at Hazel with contempt. She suddenly took a few steps forward. The servant in West House hurried to stop her. Joshua had said they must make sure Hazel was safe. They couldn’t let this strange woman get close to Hazel.

“Hazel Crowe, I suggest you ask them to leave.” Cynthia sneered. “There are some things we had better talk about in private.”

“I don’t think there’s anything we need to talk about in private,” Hazel spoke with indifference.

“Ah,” said Cynthia, “since you are not afraid, I have nothing to worry about. Hazel Crowe, I have enough evidence to unmark you in front of Joshua, thoroughly discredit you and make you lose everything! You won’t even have 50 million dollars at that time!”

“Fine, I’d like to see what evidence you have.” Hazel looked calm. She was a little curious about the evidence that would thoroughly discredit her.

Cynthia looked slightly angry. How could Hazel have such an attitude? Did Hazel think her words were alarmist?

Cynthia was about to speak when she heard the servant call out, “Master Joshua, you are back!”

As Joshua approached the hall, his eyes went slightly deep. The next moment, he pulled Hazel into his arms and asked thoughtfully, “You’re not bullied, are you?”

Cynthia felt she herself had swallowed a handful of needles, and her whole heart was in pain.

Joshua was as handsome and gentle as he was when she first met him, but all his attention and care was for Hazel Crowe! He had firmly believed that she bullied Hazel!
