Chasing The Fierce Heiress

“But I thought Joshua was Denmark’s child? Was he adopted?” Rachel frowned, “If that is the case, the Flores Family must have been blessed with all the good luck in the world to have a child-like Joshua!”

Hazel sighed helplessly. Hazel had been a good kid, so Rachel never used her police skillset to deal with her, but she really understood how sharp Rachel’s intuition was.

“Mom, I don’t want to lie to you, but I really don’t know.” Hazel frowned, “I had thought so before, but something happened recently. Now I feel that things are just not right…”

The Flores Family’s attitude towards Joshua was strange. They wanted to break up her and Joshua, which she could understand. It was reasonable to say that the Flores Family should have avoided her, but instead, they encouraged Henry to seduce her, it was just too unbelievable.

In fact, she always had doubts about them; she thought it was just because she didn’t like them. However, she wasn’t realize the main reason was that the Flores family told her about their relationship with Joshua without telling him.

But now, she would use the simplest way to verify their true relationship.

“What did Joshua say?” Rachel asked impatiently.

“I, I didn’t ask him…” Hazel was stunned.

She had never asked Joshua if he knew anything about them. She never dared to ask because she was afraid of triggering his sad memories. But what if the truth was not like what she thought?

“Mom, are there people who will help strangers without the intention of asking for anything in return?”

“Yes.” Rachel stared at Hazel, “People’s feelings are very complicated. Because of pity, sympathy, jealousy, or gratitude, they might show exceptional kindness to a stranger. Even without these emotions, some rich people will also help some poor people unconditionally, or what else do you think charity is?”

Hazel frowned slightly. Joshua’s involvement with the Flores Family was more than just charity, but she was not what the other reasons were.

“However, regardless of the relationship between the Flores Family and Joshua,” Rachel said with an ugly face, “Hazel, how did Joshua do things? He actually let that kinds of people bully you?!”

“It’s not on his head,” Hazel hurriedly defended Joshua. “He doesn’t know any of it, from start to finish, and I didn’t tell him anything!”

“So,” Rachel’s face was even more ugly. “Did you hand yourself over to be bullied by them?”

Hazel burst into tears. Rachel’s words were quite right.

Hazel weakly defended herself, “Really, I have not been bullied. Today was an exception. I wanted to appease them…”

“I hit them. Are you blaming me for doing so, not letting you continue to be bullied, affecting your relationship with Joshua?” Rachel said with a bit of sarcasm.

“How come?!” Hazel hurriedly shook her head, “I was happy and grateful at the time. It felt like I was being supported by my mom!”

“Okay, I don’t want to know what their relationship with Joshua is.” Rachel said impatiently, “You need to go home with me now!”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What?!” Hazel looked at her, shocked. Does Rachel just put a stop to her relationship with Joshua? Things had become more and more chaotic.

“It’s very obvious now. The Flores Family people are important to Joshua. Do you think I will let you continue to be with him and be bullied by those people?” Rachel said angrily. While thinking that Caroline Flores had harassed Hazel again and again, Rachel turned around to have another conversation with them.

“Mom, I’m not going back.” Hazel said firmly, “If I don’t figure this out, I won’t leave!”

“Hazel, you…!” Rachel slammed on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, and glared at her.

“Mom, I am an adult. Please believe me. I will handle my affairs, okay?” Hazel looked at her earnestly.

Rachel sighed helplessly, “How long will it take?”

“One week.” Hazel estimated. Joshua’s business trip would take two days, and it would take three days to do a paternity test. One week should be more than enough.

“Okay, then I will give you a week.” Rachel said unhappily.

“Then let’s go back to Denmark Residence?” Hazel made a careful proposal.

“Denmark Residence?” Rachel’s face suddenly twisted, “Do you want me to take you away now?”

Hazel was so scared that she couldn’t speak. Rachel finally decided to stay at the hotel, and Hazel had no choice but to stay with her.

When they got settled, Hazel was contemplating if she should call Joshua and tell him what was happening. She hated bothering him while he was away on a business trip, she really didn’t want to worry him.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise outside in the hall and a storm of knocking on the door.

Hazel was scared, why would someone be knocking at this time? She opened the door and saw a group of policemen standing outside the door.

“Is Mrs. Rachel Crowe here?” The leading policeman asked while showing Hazel his badge.

Rachel also heard the knocking on the door. She looked surprised as she walked to the door, “What are you looking for?”

“A lady named Caroline Flores called us and said that you had beaten her.

There was a minor injury to her body. Please come with us.” The officer said.

“What?!” Hazel was surprised and angry.

Rachel just pushed Caroline. How could she have a minor injury? The fact that she called the police and had a physical examination in such a short period of time was really surprising and suspicious.

Clearly, someone was working with the Flores Family, whose only purpose was to target Hazel and her family.

“Hazel!” Rachel’s face turned ugly, and she quickly said, “No worries. I will go with them and find out what is happening.”

“Mom, this time, it’s not that simple,” Hazel whispered anxiously, “If you go with them, I’m afraid there will be many surprises!”

“Relax, how can there be anything?” Rachel said, “I’m a colleague of theirs after all. They are not likely to harm me. Now you just stay here.”

“But…” Hazel was still trying to say something when Rachel was following the police out.
