Chapter 303: Wait And See
“… I really didn’t take it. Luna, you must believe me!” Mandy was sobbing more and more violently. She tried hard to dodge the slaps, but she was being attacked from different directions, she did not have time to protect herself.
Susan realized Mandy was not going to admit she took what she was looking for, so Susan lifted her foot and started to kick her. Mandy shouted bitterly, swearing at Susan and the other woman as she held onto her stomach. The pain caused sweat to run down her cheeks, and she was becoming paler.
“Stop it!” said Hazel angrily.
“Why are you here?” Susan looked at her in surprise, and then, with a burst of anger in her eyes, she glared at Mandy. “You still say you didn’t steal? She’s the one you called, right?!”
“No…” Mandy wanted to explain.
“Hazel, you stay out of my business!” Susan turned to glare at her. “I’m trying to teach my assistant a lesson. Why are you interrupting?”
“You actually know that she is your assistant, not your slave?” Hazel said coldly. “You are a public figure, so I would assume you would be more cautious when you choose somewhere to spend your time. You’re hitting her at a golf course, are you not afraid that someone will see you?”
“What will happen if I hit her?” Susan walked tall. “She owes me two hundred thousand dollars. She said she would sell herself to me and allow me to beat and punish her randomly.”
“It’s a new era, how could there still be someone selling herself?” Hazel kept sneering. “If your fans knew that, would they agree with you? Oh, I forgot, you don’t seem to have many fans!”
“You…!” Sandy freaked out, but before she could speak, the woman, who was helping her beat Mandy, assumingly Susan’s new assistant, tugged at Susan’s sleeve and pointed at Hazel’s hand.
Hazel was holding her phone and presumably had recorded it all from the start, she had a video of them beating Mandy.
Susan looked a little nervous, and she growled, “Hazel, stop. No shooting!”
After that, she ran over with a horrified expression and tried to snatch away her phone.
Susan was not very successful in the entertainment industry because of a lot of dark history and dirt. She had few fans and offended almost all the directors, but she still dreamed of being a star and not letting down the few fans who still fully supported her.
If the video of her hitting people were divulged, then very likely her image would be worse, which she could not handle. Hazel moved sideways and swiftly dodged Susan as she stuck out her foot to trip Susan.
“Hazel Crowe!” Susan went crazy and glared at her. She tried to rush at Hazel again, but the new assistant stopped her.
“Luna, don’t be angry,” the new assistant said. “Miss Crowe must have misunderstood. We were just practicing acting with Luna for feeling, not fighting.”
“Yes, yes, yes, we are practicing acting!” Susan said quickly. “It won’t work even if you send it!”
“In that case, I’m going to let the video out. Even if it’s no use, I can do it for fun.” She curled her lips and pressed the “Send” button.
“I’ll kill you!” Susan rushed at her angrily again but was stopped by the new assistant once again.
“Luna, it doesn’t matter. As long as we let Mandy explain it positively, people will not misunderstand,” the new assistant said. “Mandy, send a statement right now saying that this is all a misunderstanding.”
Hazel glared at Susan, she didn’t post the video, she was only trying to scare them.
Susan had always been a bit illogical and stupid, but now she had remarkable people around her. Her new assistant was not only full of bad ideas but good at everything. It was no wonder that they were beating Mandy.
Hazel could no longer underestimate Susan when she had such a strong helper beside her.
Mandy, covering her swollen cheeks, looked timidly at Susan and said after a while of hesitation, “Luna, I can help you with that. But please accept my resignation, and you can rest assured that the money I owe you will be repaid…”
Hazel frowned a little. It turned out that Mandy did want to leave Susan, but she couldn’t. If she really owed Susan money, she really couldn’t get involved.
“No way!” Susan said ferociously. “Back when you borrowed $200, 000 from me and promised to be my assistant for ten years! It’s written clearly on the contract, and if you break it, you’ll have to pay me half a million! You either repay it now or continue the job!”
Hazel was taken aback. What kind of loan was that? Two hundred thousand bought Mandy for ten years! Susan was really cunning!
“Mandy, do you really want to leave her?” Hazel asked as she frowned.
“… Mm.” Mandy looked timidly at Susan before she finally nodded her head.
“Okay, I’ll get you the best lawyer and help you with your case.” Hazel looked at Susan with a faint smile on her face. “As long as our big star is willing to go to court over this!”
“Don’t you dare!” Susan gritted her teeth in anger. If she really went to court, all this would be brought to light! This unequal contract was enough for someone else to criticize and examine her closely. She wanted to be in the entertainment industry to enjoy being praised, not to be scolded.
“Wait and see!” said Hazel coldly.
“Hazel Crowe!” Susan yelled her name fiercely and rushed at her again.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Just then, a voice sounded at the bathroom entrance, “Susan, what are you doing?”
Hearing this voice, Susan looked like she had seen a ghost. Then, with some nervousness, she turned around and said, “Mom.”
Hazel felt a wave of emotions. Sunny was Susan’s mother, who was also her mother’s sister, her aunt. She did not expect to meet under such circumstances. She looked up and was a little shocked, Sunny was very beautiful with a great temperament, and most importantly, Hazel had seen her.
It turned out that the woman she met when she went to the cemetery with Joshua really was her Aunt Sunny. She remembered very well that she knocked Sunny’s flowers out of her hand, Sunny told her they were called Casablanca lilies.
There was a twinkle of surprise in Sunny’s eyes, and then, she looked at Hazel with confusion as if she was missing something.
The next moment, she walked up to Hazel. “Are you Hazel Crowe?”
“Yes.” Hazel nodded.
“I didn’t expect to meet you in this situation.” There was a touch of tenderness in Sunny’s voice. “I’m Sunny, but as for who I am, let’s wait until we meet formally.”
Hazel was a little astonished because Sunny was a little different from… what she had imagined.
