Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Inside, Hazel had already burst into tears at the thought of leaving Joshua, but her personality was very stubborn, and she insisted she was fine.

Professor Watson’s celebration banquet was at 8:00 in the evening. However, she did not plan any time to prepare for it, she was just happy that she was attending.

She had finally started to get ready when her phone rang, she answered it, Vanessa was on the other end and said, “Hazel, let’s meet.”

Hazel was a little scatter-brained and said, “We don’t seem to have any reason to meet up?”

There really was nothing for her and Vanessa to talk about, and the strangest part was that she wanted to meet up just before the Professor’s banquet.

“I have an important thing to tell you, it is about Joshua,” Vanessa said in a deep voice.

“Oh, but I don’t want to know,” Hazel said.

“Hazel, if you don’t come, you will regret it!” Vanessa’s voice contained a little more anger.

Hazel frowned unpleasantly, before this, she did not have a good impression of Vanessa but mysteriously calling her, especially at this time?

“No, if I want to know what Joshua was doing, asking him myself is more convenient,” Hazel said.

Vanessa was stunned, but she asked angrily, “Hazel, what do you mean? Do you mean that Joshua is by your side? Or do you actually live together?”

Hazel kept silent.

She went to and from work by bus, not driving with Joshua. So, no one had guessed about their relationship, not even Vanessa knew that she actually lived in Denmark Residence. Hazel didn’t mind if Vanessa found out, but she was not going to brag about it.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“This has nothing to do with you,” Hazel said indifferently. “Professor Watson’s banquet begins soon, and you wouldn’t want me to miss out on that, would you?

“You…!” Vanessa was angry.

She did have a point when Professor Watson said that he would like to invite Joshua and Hazel, she had no objection and thought that she would be able to embarrass Hazel. Still, she did not expect that Professor Watson would appreciate Hazel so much. She didn’t want to let Hazel shine at the banquet!

Vanessa had advised Professor Watson many times, but he had made up his mind to invite her, and she could not persuade him differently. Therefore, Vanessa wanted to scheme and lie to Hazel so that she would miss attending the banquet.

“So, what I guessed was true, Vanessa, can you be more mature?” Hazel guessed, “If you really want to say something, why not wait until we see each other tonight?”

“Hazel!” Vanessa’s voice was a little bit cold, and she said sternly, “You will regret it!”

Hazel frowned a little bit, and Vanessa’s words sent a chill down her spine.

Could it be said that Vanessa was going to do something to her at the party?

There would be so many people there, Joshua included, Vanessa would really not want to do something in front of so many people.

“Hazel, how is the preparation?” Joshua knocked on her door.

“Not yet done.” Hazel put down the phone.

“What happened?” Joshua raised his eyebrows.

“Nothing, I had just answered a call.” Hazel forced a smile.

“Who called?” he asked.

Hazel hesitated, “Vanessa.”

This was a small matter for her, and there was no need to hide it from him.

“Why did she call?” Joshua’s look was a little cold.

“Nothing, maybe she just wanted to scheme to get me to meet her, but she didn’t succeed, so she threatened me.” Hazel shrugged.

Joshua thought for a while.

Vanessa was definitely not the kind of person who would threaten others, if she said something threatening, she meant it.

“You get ready.” He chuckled and closed the door.

When he left Hazel’s room, Joshua dialed a number, “Scarlett, help me watch Vanessa tonight!”

He hung up the phone and lowered his head, thinking there will be many people at this banquet. She may ask somebody else to do it, it may not be useful to keep watching her.

It seemed that tonight was destined to be an unpeaceful night.

Hazel finished getting dressed, and they left to go to the home of Professor Watson.

When they arrived, Hazel got out of the car and looked at the villa in front of her. “Professor Watson has a beautiful home.”

Joshua smiled and agreed with her.

“Let’s go, it’s time to go in.” He reminded her.

“Do we go in together?” Hazel asked worriedly. “Would anyone think something of our relationship?”

“No,” Joshua said. “They think of you as my female partner at most.”

“Okay.” Hazel finally compromised.

Joshua bent his arm, Hazel blushed and put her arm through his.

The two walked into the hall together, and the people who were talking and laughing suddenly quieted down and looked toward the door.

It was Joshua. Most of the people who came to the banquet knew him, so it was not strange that he would be there, but he had actually brought a woman.

Everyone knew that if they had to use five words to describe Joshua, it was definitely not words like handsome and graceful, it was “doesn’t get close to women.”

When he was in school, Joshua treated all the girls like strangers and did not know how many people were hurt. Although Vanessa followed him whenever she had the opportunity, everyone knew Joshua had no interest in her.

Even if Joshua took the initiative to admit his personal relationship in front of the media, they did not take it seriously because they did not see any of his lovers. But now Joshua actually brought a woman!

The eyes of all the people fell on Hazel, they could not help but be stunned by her beauty.

The blue dress was elegant and formal, it was perfect for the occasion. With so many people looking at her, Hazel managed to smile elegantly, which unintentionally made her feel comfortable.

If Hazel knew what the others were thinking, she might have cried tears of joy, but she began to laugh, wondering why all these people were staring at her? They could not take their eyes off of her, it was as if Joshua did not even exist.

“Joshua, are you here too?” Someone managed to spit out. He smiled and walked over to the two. “This is…?”

“My date,” Joshua said, and he did not plan to say anything more than that.

The man nodded with approval and did not ask more. Hazel can tell that others don’t believe him at all.

“Didn’t you say that others will not misunderstand?” Hazel maintained the smile on her face and whispered to Joshua.

“They didn’t misunderstand,” Joshua smiled. “If you don’t believe it, then you can ask them.”
