Chapter 262: This Is Not A Coincidence

Lily was unconscious, but her eyebrows suddenly moved. Nanny Carter was in a state of disarray; she never thought that Lily would pretend to faint. She had told Nanny Carter that she would learn more from her and wait in the dining room.

It didn’t matter if Lily really fainted or she just pretended to faint, Nanny Carter would have to give an explanation. She hurriedly explained, "Sir Denmark, this is the situation. I asked her to clean the house yesterday. She may have misunderstood what I meant. I was busy doing something else all night. It was my negligence. I should have found her earlier in the evening and sent her to bed…”

Joshua’s face became even unhappier. Nanny Carter had been in Denmark Residence for so many years, and he knew very well what kind of person she was. Lily actually wanted to try and use such a nasty trick to discredit Nanny Carter?

"It appears that her physical strength and ability are not very good." Joshua said coldly, "So, you should give her more work and let her exercise more, it will help to build her resistance."

Lily trembled, and her eyelids moved. Although she was still ‘unconscious,’ she was almost in tears.

Her heart was desperate. What was wrong with Joshua? She was so weak and pitiful, yet he didn’t even glance at her once? Not only that, he actually encouraged Nanny Carter to bully her. She tried to make Nanny Carter look bad but, in the end, the whole situation turned on her and made her look bad.

What kind of girl did Joshua like? Why could she not get his attention?

"Sir Denmark, I will do what you have said!" Nanny Carter sighed, looking at Lily smiling.

Hazel held back her smile, and Joshua was charming. If there were ever a woman she could not cope with, he would come to the rescue and solve the issue.

She kissed Joshua on the cheek and said, “Joshua, you are the best!”

Lily, who was being helped out of the dining room, trembled but did not dare to say anything. She knew with Joshua's instructions, and Nanny Carter would naturally not be polite with her any longer, so she avoided Hazel and Nanny Carter the entire day.

***

Joshua and Hazel arrived at the hotel where Mathew’s banquet was being held. Even though the crew had Hazel to increase the investments, it was not a big production, so he booked a small hall to save money where he could.

Hazel and Joshua were outside of the hotel's hall, just as they were preparing to go in, Hazel looked at the corridor with a strange look in her eyes. She saw Susan wearing a gorgeous evening dress; at the same time Susan saw Hazel and Joshua, she was not surprised to see them. Hazel was surprised to see her though, why would she be there?

Susan just snorted and walked into another hall.

"Miss Crowe, Mr. Denmark." Seeing them walk in, Mathew hurriedly greeted them.

"What is happening over there?” Hazel walked in and asked curiously. The door of the opposite hall was wide open, and she could clearly see crowds of people.

"The opposite side is also holding a banquet," Mathew said with contempt.

"The movie was bought by Susan. It will be the first special effect movie in our country and it will be popular, but I think she is spending money on hiring actors and propaganda. The special effect is a gimmick.”

Hazel said with some surprise, "It is a huge coincidence that we are actually holding a party at the same time!"

"This is not a coincidence," Joshua said.

"What Mr. Denmark said was right," Mathew nodded in agreement. "Miss Crowe, you don't know, her movie has been finished for two weeks, and it is very strange to hold a banquet this long after finishing. I think that she is clearly and deliberately showing off in front of me to flaunt her riches!"

Hazel's lips were twitching, and she agreed with what Mathew said.

Hazel knew that Susan was very petty. When she opened Joshua-Hazel Picture, she ran to Mathew saying she wanted a role in his film, but she was immediately rejected. Susan was looking for revenge and could do nothing to Hazel, so she had to vent her anger at Mathew.

"Forget it, she will hold her banquet, and we will do ours." Hazel said with a smile, "Even if she deliberately irritates us, she won’t come here and show off!"

Hazel did not expect that, after a while, Susan would arrive at their banquet with her agent. As they walked in, Hazel's lips twitched slightly, and she felt speechless.

She suddenly remembered Lily with all of her bad ideas, but Susan was not so “clever”, she never knew how stupid she was. If you flatter her, she will be arrogant. Hazel suddenly felt that if Lily and Susan shared some of their tricks, perhaps they would be much smarter.

Susan proudly passed through the crowd, not even looking at Mathew, and went straight to Joshua, "Joshua, long time no see. I thought I might have been wrong, but it turns out it is you. My mom asked me to say hello to you."

Joshua just nodded and hardly even acknowledged her.

"You are actually participating in such a shabby banquet?" Susan sneered at the small hall and looked at staff from the crew. "Joshua, perhaps because Denmark Group did not get involved in the entertainment industry. You don't know much about this industry. But I can tell you clearly that investing in this kind of low-cost movie with no future can only be a loss!"

Hazel bit her lip. Susan still was the same, and she still did not let go of her feeling and thoughts for Joshua. Before she had time to talk about it, she heard that Susan went on to say, "Joshua, your business talent is much more advanced than mine. I believe you can understand what I said. I know that you want to spend money to make the beauty happy, but ever since ancient times, beauty usually creates disasters…”

"Is it your money that I spend?" Joshua interrupted her.

Susan suddenly stiffened, she crashed the banquet to make Hazel feel uncomfortable. She believed that Joshua would agree to let Hazel invest, and even if her investment failed, he would not say anything, but he would definitely think that she was incompetent and wasting his money.

But Joshua interrupted her words so quickly that she didn’t know what to say.

Susan was anxious, "...you are not spending my money, but..."

"Then does it have anything to do with you?" Joshua's eyes became even more indifferent.

Susan was choked, and she said with anger, "But Hazel is clearly wasting your money erratically!"

"As long as Hazel is happy, she can waste my money as she wants!" Joshua's facial expression became a bit colder.
