Chapter 268: Take The Dress Off

Lily couldn't breathe, the pain in her wrist made her sweat, and she couldn’t find the words to speak. She was worried, was Joshua so angry because he heard that she was bullied? But why was he so rude?

"Take the dress off!" Joshua pushed her hand away with annoyance. He was getting angrier seeing the dress being worn by Lily.

“Now, now?” Lily was shocked. Joshua wanted to do something to her? Did her plan develop too fast? She should reject it, or she should take the chance to have sex with him?

Joshua made the decision for her; he didn’t give her time to think. When he saw that she seemed to refuse to take it off, Joshua yelled to the maid, "You help her to take it off!"

The maid stepped forward and grabbed Lily, another one came to help, and they began to pull her clothes off rudely.

Lily was in a daze. How could Joshua be so anxious, not even waiting for a moment? She was a little stunned as she looked at Joshua, but he looked forward with a gloomy expression, he didn’t even glance her way.

Soon, the maids had her clothes off, leaving her only in her underwear. Lily looked shy but waited patiently for them to take off her underwear. Instead, the maid turned around and walked over to Joshua.

"Hey, you haven’t taken it all off yet!" Lily yelled at them.

Everyone looked at her speechlessly, and their eyes were full of sarcasm.

This woman thought that Joshua had feelings for her? She really didn’t have a clue.

Lily suddenly panicked, and the look in their people's eyes finally made her realize that she had things wrong. Nanny Carter came over and dropped the maid clothes to her. "Hurry up and put it on, don’t lose all your self-respect!"

"What are you talking about?" Lily was furious. She looked for Joshua for help but saw him staring at the clothes she had taken off with disgust, like seeing something dirty. "Burn it! Go search her room to see how much she had stolen!"

It turns out that... Joshua wanted to take off her clothes, not because he cared about her or wanted to do something with her, just because she was wearing Hazel’s clothes, he felt that she stained the clothes.

Lily was so mortified, she made such a fool of herself. She knew everyone was laughing at her. Even though she had no shame, this disgraceful situation left her feeling extremely embarrassed. She stood there helplessly and really wanted to leave. Why was this totally different from the TV drama she saw? It shouldn't be like this!

Soon, the maid found more than a dozen items, shoes, and cosmetics from Lily's room.

Joshua's facial expression was extraordinarily ugly.

"Sir Denmark, are these also going to be destroyed as well?" the maid said.

"We have got the criminal and the evidence, call the police first!" Joshua said in a deep voice.

"Young master, are you going to let her go to jail? But Miss Crowe..."

Nanny Carter looked a little surprised, and Joshua was really angry this time.

There were many ways to teach Lily a lesson, but Joshua chose the simplest and most serious one. After calling the police, the value of these things would be enough for Lily to be a prisoner for several years. But Hazel appeared to have treated Lily very differently. If Joshua really called the police, Hazel might not be happy.

Lily was suddenly frightened. Joshua actually wanted her to be arrested? She didn’t want to go to jail, she trembled and said, "Mr. Denmark, what do you mean?" She was angry and scared, "These clothes were not stolen! These were what Hazel gave me!"

"Gave to you?" Joshua's eyes were full of sarcasm, apparently, he was not convinced.

Hazel’s figure was far smaller than Lily’s, he knew because he picked them to fit Hazel perfectly. How could they fit Lily? Even if Hazel wanted to give her clothes, would she not give her ones that fit?

"It's true!" Lily explained desperately. "It's really what Hazel gave me. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her!"

"Do you think that you are worth me waking Hazel?" Joshua looked at her indifferently, and he said coldly. "Since you like to steal other people's clothes, put them all on!"

"What, what?" Lily suddenly panicked. She was bigger than Hazel, she felt constricted when she wore one item. If she had to wear a dozen pieces, she would be strangled to death.

"I won’t wear them, I won’t wear them!" Lily struggled, and the maid held her down and started to dress her.

"Joshua... No, Sir Denmark! I beg you, I am wrong, I dare not to do it again. I will not wear them, let me go!"

Lily cried and began to beg for mercy, but Joshua pretended that he didn’t hear it. He calmly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the water stain on the book.

After she had six pieces on, Lily felt like she could not breathe, and she began to feel dizzy. Her heart was full of fear, thinking she would die from wearing all the clothes. She thought if she cried and was gentle, Joshua might let her go, but he refused.

She regretted it all, and the TV dramas were nothing but lies. If she knew that it would end up like that, she would not have stolen Hazel’s clothes.

"What are you doing in the dining room?" Hazel blinked. She stood outside the dining room and looked at them with surprise.

"Hazel, save me!" Lily hurriedly shouted, and she was trying not to cry.

Hazel looked at her strangely and couldn't help but laugh. "What are you doing? Why are you packing yourself like a tamale?"

"You need to tell them quickly that you gave me these clothes, that I didn’t steal them!” Lily was even more anxious and didn’t care about Hazel’s sarcasm.

Hazel looked at the dining room in outright confusion. She had not yet said anything, and Joshua had already stood up and came to her side. "Did we wake you up?"

"No, I am thirsty, I want to drink some juice." Hazel shook her head, but she did not expect to see such a scene when she came to the dining room.

She was surprised to ask, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing," Joshua said.

A servant poured the juice, Joshua handed the glass of juice to Hazel and whispered, "Drink the juice and go back to sleep. I know you are very busy, and you should rest early."

"Hazel..." Lily looked at her in horror and her eyes full of pleading.

Hazel blinked. She took a drink and shook her head; she thought she might have been dreaming.

Joshua could scare Lily so bad that she would do this? It seemed that his means were much stronger than her saying Lily had to do heavy work.

"Joshua, you misunderstood," Hazel smiled shallowly. "The clothes were indeed given to her. You just let her go."
