Chasing The Fierce Heiress

“What?” Sara said in anger, “How can I be unfamiliar with such a common name!”

Paul looked back. “It’s not that. I just feel it sounds very familiar somehow.”

Seeing that no one ran after him, he took out his phone and began to search the Internet.

Soon, his whole face turned pale as he murmured, “Oh, no, it’s her…”

“Who?” Sara grabbed his phone angrily but soon stumbled and fell to the ground. “How, how is that possible…”

The news about Hazel was written a year ago, and most of it had been suppressed, but people could still find some of it if they really wanted to. Hence, Paul and Sara knew about Hazel’s identity now.

Thinking of the fact that they had offended the wife of the President of the Denmark Group, their legs were weak.

“It’s all your fault!” Paul grabbed Sara by the collar. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have offended her! Besides, you even started a rumor. Do you want to kill me?!”

“Paul, how can you be so shameless that you shift responsibility on time?” Sara was so pissed off that she almost cried. “If you weren’t thinking about hooking up with girls and ignoring proper business, you would have known who Hazel Denmark is early on. It takes me a lot of effort to keep an eye on you every day. How can I possibly have time to pay attention to other things?”

“You, you…” Paul was too angry to speak.

In the end, he said, dejected, “What’s the point of fighting now? Let’s pack up quickly and move out of the imperial capital.”

With that, he left in a huff, and Sara followed him closely.

Staring at Ted in front of her, Hazel looked a little wary. “What do you want?”

Ted looked somewhat embarrassed. He thought for a while and said, “Nothing, I just happened to see you were in trouble, so I dealt with it for you.”

She was speechless. Ted used to be a dotard, but now he changed and seemed very thin-skinned and dishonest.

“You want to ask me how on earth you can get mom and Joshua to forgive you, don’t you?” Hazel didn’t beat around the bush, asking directly.

Ted looked more embarrassed. It looked like it was quite hard for him to bow in front of Hazel.

“Mom and Joshua care about families and relationships very much,” Hazel said quietly. “If you really want their forgiveness, you have to be sincere enough.”

“Of course, I do want their forgiveness!” Ted hurried to speak. With that, he still looked embarrassed.

Hazel gave him a surprised look. Since Ted could say that, that meant he really made progress.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

She thought for a moment and then said in a serious tone, “As for Joshua, Mr. King, I don’t think you need to waste your time. Previously, I kindly helped him look for his biological parents and even caused a lot of trouble, but do you know what he said?”

He looked at her seriously.

She continued, “He said that even though he was an orphan when he was very young, my biological parents had given him enough fatherly love and maternal love to make him feel that he had nothing to regret and hate. That’s why he didn’t go to look for his biological parents even though he knew clearly that he was an orphan.

“In the face of you, he never asked you to do anything or do your duty as his father because his life is complete. He even hopes that you and us won’t be too close to each other and that as long as we don’t disturb each other, it will be good enough.”

He looked a little dejected. He felt Hazel was telling the truth. Joshua had never asked his father, Ted, to do anything, but Ted intended to use his identity of being a father to suppress and control Joshua again and again, so he made their relationship worse and worse.

“If I say that if you are kind to us, Joshua and I will forgive you, then I am lying to you,” she said in an earnest tone. “The relationship between you and Joshua, which was not good, is bad enough now. Whether it’s him or me, we hope that we can be strangers to each other and let each other go.”

He looked very sad. Hazel’s words really led him to despair.

She pondered for a while before saying, “As for the relationship between you and mom, I’m not either of you, so I can’t say much. But I don’t think there’s anyone in the world who knows mom better than you do.

“As for how to get her to forgive you and how to clear up the misunderstanding, I think you should do something yourself rather than listen to me. However, mom is very determined, and it isn’t easy for her to change her decision. It may take you ten, twenty, or more years to soften her heart.”

He was thoughtful.

She gazed at him with deep eyes. She didn’t mean to help him. Instead, she said these words to scare him intentionally.

Ted had done so many things to hurt them, so she couldn’t believe that he was truly repentant only because he helped her just now. She scared him to see if Ted would be as sincere as he had said.

If Ted were scared off by her few words, he wouldn’t be a man worthy of their forgiveness, and their life would be more peaceful. On the other hand, if Ted weren’t scared off, they’d consider whether they should forgive him.

Ted left, but he seemed to take Hazel’s words to heart.

Hazel heaved a sigh of relief. Whether Ted would be scared of her or not, he probably wouldn’t do anything drastic as he did before.

She took out her phone to call Joshua. After all, she had to tell him what had happened today.

After the phone rang several times, she was in a trance.

In the past, when she called Joshua, he would answer the phone at once. However, the situation is different now.

When Hazel thought none would answer the phone and was ready to call again, the call was put through.

Before Hazel could open her mouth, a soft female voice said, “Hello, who am I speaking to?”

Hazel’s fingers stiffened slightly.

Why was a woman answering the phone? Although there were many female secretaries in the Denmark Group, Hazel, who had worked there for a long time, was familiar with their voices. The company hadn’t hired a new secretary recently. It wasn’t one of them who answered the phone now!

So who was this woman?

Hazel blankly glanced at the phone number. This was Joshua’s number indeed.

“Who? Why is there no sound? Is the signal bad?” On the other side, the soft voice sounded again and mumbled a few words before hanging up the phone.

Hazel was very shocked!
