Chapter 231: Why Won’t You Help Us?
Caroline and Lanny were very angry and felt that Hazel only aimed to embarrass them.
“Who said that we have no money?” Caroline was annoyed and slapped the clerk in the face. “You little slut, are you looking down upon us? I want to make a complaint…”
“Yes, I want to make a complaint about you!” Caroline yelled at the clerk with anger. “My son is very rich. Do you know who he is? He is the president of the Denmark Group! You have made me very upset, and just for that, I am not going to buy these damn clothes!”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Hazel watched them from far away, she was totally stunned at their behavior.
This family… How could they be like this? Each time they did something that shocked her, she thought that it could not get any worse, but they would do something else that amazed her.
Lanny and Caroline were escorted out of the store by the security guards. They were kicking and screaming about their purchases, but they had no choice, they had to leave their items behind.
Caroline was annoyed and tried to call Hazel. Naturally, Hazel knew who it was and why she was calling, so she did not answer. As they were walking out of the mall, they saw Hazel waiting at the entrance.
“Hazel!” Caroline rushed over in anger and raised her hand to slap her.
“If you do this again, I will not help you,” Hazel said.
Caroline’s arm was up in the air, she was so annoyed that she just stood to stare at Hazel for a few moments. She reluctantly put her arm down by her side.
They were unable to contact Joshua, so they had to use Hazel. If she refused to help them, they were afraid that they would have no way to be reunited.
Caroline was so humiliated by Hazel’s actions. She felt both hate and annoyance from the bottom of her heart but facing Hazel’s threat, she could only compromise.
“Why won’t you help us?” Lanny asked angrily.
“Why should I help you pay for your purchase?” Hazel smiled and asked.
“We are your boyfriend’s parents!” Lanny said angrily.
“Yeah, even if you are his parents. You are not my parents. How does this have to do with me?” Hazel said.
The precedent for helping them pay can never be set. According to the temperament of the Flores family, if she paid for it once, this kind of thing would be endless. Even if they were really Joshua’s parents, Hazel wouldn’t help them without setting a limit.
“You, you don’t pay for us, then you won’t want to marry into our Flores family in the future!” Lanny gnashed his teeth.
Hazel didn’t care about it and waved her hands, “Well, you are looking for someone who wanted to marry into the Flores family to help you pay the bill.”
“Don’t you think I can’t find it?” Caroline was even angrier. She took Lanny’s mobile phone and quickly dialed a number.
Hazel looked fierce, the Flores family was actually in contact with others. When she tried to see the number on the phone, the screen had already changed.
Who is the person that Caroline was contacting? It must be the one who has asked them to come to her and even provide her mobile phone number to the Flores family. She had to be careful with this person hiding in the dark.
“Who are you calling?” Hazel asked coldly.
“Are you afraid?” Caroline stared at Hazel with anger, “I told you, even if you don’t pay, some people are willing to!”
“Hey, it’s me, Aunt Flores,” Caroline glanced at Hazel with pride and then said, “I just bought a few new things, they cost about 300, 000, but Hazel won’t pay for them. I know you like my son, right? I promise you, as long as you come to pay the bill, I will make my son marry you!”
Hazel waited calmly. She would like to see the person who was behind all the Flores family and their demands.
Caroline was silent for almost an entire minute, but the person on the other end didn’t respond.
“Hey?” Caroline looked at the phone with shock. “Hey, have you heard what I said?”
“Are you crazy?” There was an angry snorting from the phone, and she hung up.
Hazel listened carefully, but the sound was too low, she couldn’t hear who it was, and the person was angry, so the voice would be different.
Caroline stared at the screen of the phone. She really didn’t think that she would be rejected a second time. She hung her head in despair.
“I, I just made the wrong call!” Caroline said unwillingly.
“Enough,” Hazel interrupted her impatiently. “You are so unruly, I really can’t help you. Do you still want to reunite with your son?”
Caroline and Lanny weren’t willing to give up, but they realized that they were nothing before they reunited with Joshua. They looked at each other and knew the decision they needed to make. They would need Hazel’s help.
They needed her on their side, they could not offend her. They planned to agree and follow her terms, then when they reunited with Joshua, they would force Hazel out.
“Hazel, Hazel, I was wrong.” Caroline squeezed a smile.
“You know that I am a country woman who has no culture, so when I come to this big city, I don’t know who I am! Please don’t take it seriously.”
“Right, right, we are also blinded by this colorful city and sometimes confused. In fact, we are honest people!” Lanny said in a hurry.
Hazel bit her tongue, she totally understood that they were trying to play her but didn’t really care that much.
“Who were you calling?” Hazel asked indifferently.
“Nobody…” Caroline was avoiding the question. “Didn’t I say I made a mistake?”
“You called the wrong number?” Hazel’s eyes deepened. “Didn’t she tell you to come to find me? Didn’t she give you my mobile number?”
Caroline and Lanny suddenly looked confused. They did not expect that Hazel would suddenly start asking questions. They were caught off guard and didn’t know how to answer.
“This… we don’t know,” Caroline said helplessly. “Every time she came to us, she never told us anything about her. We only know that she said she was a reporter, that is why she knew so much.”
Reporter? Hazel started to think, she frowned. Was she really a reporter, or what it just a cover-up? There were too few clues to go on.
“I know.” Hazel said, “You should remember, don’t trust others easily.”
The two quickly nodded their heads.
“Okay, I am going home. I will give you two thousand dollars, but there is no more money when that is gone.” Hazel handed the money to Caroline, she knew that they would not be grateful to her, but it was the capital, and she did not want to see them broken.
Seeing that Hazel was ready to leave, Caroline was anxious. “Hazel, did you forget about our clothes and the car for Henry…”
