Chapter 285: To Be Caught

She actually knew that if Caroline went to Denmark Residence, she would be driven away, and that is why the Flores family needed her on the inside. She encouraged Caroline to go to Denmark Residence just because she wanted her to cause problems, but she didn’t expect that she would show up the next day.

"Of course, someone is willing to help!" Caroline was proud of herself,

"Enough of the chatter for now. You must seize the opportunity as soon as possible, Lily!"

Hearing that, Lily was distraught, "Auntie, I want to use that method too, but they are very watchful over me. I am afraid I have no opportunity to drug Joshua..."

Even if there was a chance, Lily was now so afraid of him, she dared not even get close to him.

"Why are you so stupid?" Caroline cursed, "If you don't have a chance, can't you find someone around him to help create the chance?"

Lily suddenly thought of something. Her eyes brightened. Perhaps, she should change her tactic.

Hazel didn't get anything from Rachel, so she walked to the kitchen feeling defeated. She wanted to get her glass of milk before bed, but after she poured the two glasses, she saw someone go past the kitchen door.

She was ready to attack, she ran to catch them and asked, "Who?!"

Before she got too far, Theresa walked out from around the corner, looking worried. She whispered, "Sister Hazel, I have something important to tell you."

Hazel raised her eyebrows. Was Theresa actually the person she just saw?

"What is it?" Hazel asked.

“Lily called my parents,” Theresa said with some helplessness. “My parents seem to be coming here tomorrow!”

"Really? Did Lily tell you that?" Hazel couldn't help but frown. If the Flores family came, they would definitely fight with Rachel.

"No, I have been keeping an eye on Lily, and I saw her taking pictures of you. And I got the information about my parents coming tomorrow directly from her after she talked to my mother." Theresa explained.

"Okay, I understand." Hazel said, "You go to bed and get some rest."

Hazel went back to the kitchen and saw the two cups of milk on the counter.

She looked at it sadly, one cup was for Joshua. But did she really want to deliver it to Joshua now? As she hesitated, Joshua walked in through the kitchen door.

"For me?" Joshua asked faintly, staring at the cup of milk.

"Yeah." Hazel nodded and handed one cup to him. "Exactly, I don't have to take it to you since you are here."

Joshua took it. He looked at Hazel with a little surprise, "You are not getting one cup for your mom?"

"My mom hates milk." Hazel smiled shallowly. The two walked out of the kitchen together. She asked, "Are you going to the study room?"

"Yeah, there are still some things that are not finished," Joshua replied.

"Just go to bed early..."

As the voices of the two were getting farther and farther, Lily suddenly got out of a cupboard in the corner of the kitchen. She was very excited now. She really did not expect it was so easy to drug Joshua.

She deliberately revealed the information of the Flores family coming to Denmark Residence the next day to Theresa. She expected that Theresa would leak the message to Hazel.

The person Hazel saw was actually her, and after luring Hazel out of the kitchen, she snuck in. She was unsure which cup Hazel would give to Joshua, so she simply put the drug in both cups of milk.

Lily couldn’t believe that it went so smoothly, she was sure that Joshua would not be alert after drinking his milk. She joyfully climbed the stairs and stopped outside of Joshua’s study.

The Flores family assured her that the drug worked very quickly, she pushed open the door. The study was dark, Lily hesitated for a moment but then hurried in and shut the door.

The situation was perfect, there was only one chance, and she could not hesitate any longer. What Lily didn’t know was that Rachel was standing in the corner watching her enter the study.

Hazel returned to her, but Rachel wasn’t there. She was surprised, even though she knew her mother was up to something. She was on her way to find her, but Rachel pushed the door open.

"Mom, I have something to discuss with you..."

Rachel interrupted her, “Hold on, Hazel. Let's go and see a drama!”

Then Rachel grabbed Hazel's wrist and pulled her toward the study.

"Mom," Hazel paused with some weakness, "It's so late. Can’t we just get some rest?"

"Hazel, I advise you to come with me right now." Rachel looked back at her meaningfully, "You don't want to miss the scene of how you got betrayed!"

Hazel was stunned, "Mom, what are you talking about? Stop this."

Rachel didn't care. She took Hazel and walked toward the study, and kicked open the door.

In the darkness, Hazel heard two people scream in fear. Rachel pulled Hazel into the study and turned on the lights. On the sofa were two naked bodies, and their clothes were scattered on the floor.

"What are you two doing?!" Rachel shouted.

The two on the sofa were frightened. Lily proudly picked up the article of clothing closest to her and pretended to be covering her chest with a flustered look. She didn’t even glance at the person under her, she just looked up at the doorway.

Rachel and Hazel were standing at the door. A touch of fear mixed with doubt appeared on Lily's face. Hazel should've also drunk the milk that was drugged. Why was she still alert?

It was just a thought that flashed through her mind for a split second because no matter who was at the door, she was very happy to be ‘caught.’ It was even better than Hazel saw the scene herself!

"Hazel, it is just like what you see. Joshua and I are in love with each other. Please forgive us!” Lily said with tears in her eyes.

"Hazel, look at what Joshua has done behind your back!" Rachel said angrily, "You of all people should be very clear now of what kind of person he is!"
