Chapter 304: When Did You Get Here?

Chapter 304: When Did You Get Here?

Sunny would have guessed her identity but did not seem to want to admit to Hazel being her niece, so there was no need to bring it to light.

Hazel didn’t feel Sunny wanted to hurt her, but at the same time, she did not embrace her crying sadly as if she had seen a long-lost relative.

Sunny seemed to have more complex emotions toward her, and Hazel could sense that she was looking at her as if she was missing something and was somehow sentimental. Like she was looking at someone else... through her.

Like when she had met Sunny last time, Hazel still thought she seemed to be a bit erratic.

Sunny looked away from Hazel, then she looked at Susan coldly. “What’s the matter?”

Susan gave an embellished account of what had happened and put all the blame on Hazel. After that, she said wrongfully, “Mom, I really didn’t mean to cause trouble this time...”

“Well, I think that I don’t know your temper yet?” Sunny calmly scolded her, “I think you bullied the assistant so hard that Miss Crowe couldn’t stand it, so she wanted to help, right?”

Susan was eager to explain what happened because she knew Sunny would guess the truth so easily. When Sunny’s eye caught her, she suddenly said in a victimized tone, “But she took my picture secretly and posted the video on the Internet!”

“That’s why I’ve warned you again and again that if you want to be a star, you have to be careful with your words and behaviors.” Sunny looked at her, displeased. “Why can’t you keep that in mind? Thankfully it was Miss Crowe who photographed it this time. I am guessing that Miss Crowe didn’t actually upload the video.”

Hazel’s heart missed a beat because of Sunny’s sharp insight. She was really very tremendous.

“You lied to me!” Susan glared at Hazel with exasperation.

“Shut up!” said Sunny unkindly, and Susan suddenly looked vulnerable.

“Miss Crowe, please delete the video.” Sunny looked at Hazel. “Since you stood up for Assistant Wilson, I will make Susan let her out of her contract. As for the 200,000 dollars, she doesn’t need to repay...”

“Why?!” Susan was worried. “She was the one who borrowed it from me herself, and it’s not because I had to give it to her!”

Sunny was trying to scold her, but Mandy said hastily, “It’s true, and I’ll definitely return the money.”

Hazel came to her senses. Sunny made it clear that she was trying to patch up a quarrel and freed Mandy of two hundred thousand dollars casually, mainly for Hazel’s sake. It was only because of a moment of outrage that she got involved. Besides, she did not know what had really happened between Mandy and Susan, so it really was inappropriate for her to get involved too deeply.

“Okay, I’m going to delete this video,” Hazel said, turning on her phone and pulling out the video. “It’s kind of you to ask Susan to give Mandy a break, but what she owed must be repaid. Let Mandy repay it slowly following the same payments and interest that the bank would."

Sunny looked at Hazel with disbelief, she treated Mandy with great kindness and dignity, even though she did not have to.

Seeing that Hazel moved her finger and deleted the video, Sunny was even more surprised. “Do you… so believe me?”

“Uh...” Hazel looked at her blankly. “I’m sure you’re not going to lie to me.”

Her request was not too extravagant, so Sunny didn’t need to go back on her word. She looked at Hazel with a bit of sadness in her eyes. They were really very similar, even when they trusted others.

“Besides…” Hazel looked at Susan, undaunted. “Even if someone does go back on their word, I’ll have other means!”

She had Joshua behind her, how could she be afraid Susan would break her promise? The sadness in Sunny’s heart suddenly disappeared, the confidence and vitality in Hazel were not from Marcus or her sister. She knew a child raised by another family could not be exactly like them.

“That’s all.” As Sunny walked toward the door, she gave Susan a quiet look, who then quickly followed her.

After they left, Mandy came to her and said gratefully, “Miss Crowe, thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. I didn’t do anything,” Hazel said. Looking at her pale face, she asked a little worriedly. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine...” Mandy shook her head in a hurry and suddenly looked at the bathroom door. “Master, Master Denmark!”

Hazel turned her head around and saw Joshua standing outside the bathroom, apparently waiting for her.

“When did you get here?” Hazel was smiling and walked over to him happily.

“For a while,” said Joshua quietly, “I saw everything I should.”

Hazel’s heart was warmed. Joshua must have been worried about her safety, so he came to look for her.

“You didn’t show up just now to see how she treated me?” asked Hazel curiously.

“Yes,” Joshua said quietly, “Come on, they’re still waiting for you.”

Thump! Hazel spun around and saw Mandy had passed out on the ground.

She hastily went over to Mandy and looked up at him. “Joshua, shall we take her to the hospital first?”

Joshua sighed. Hazel was too kind. If such a thing happened in front of her, she could not ignore it.

Joshua and Hazel took Mandy to the hospital, where the doctor diagnosed that she was suffering from acute gastritis and exhaustion.

When the doctor was hooking up Mandy’s IV, Hazel stood in front of her bed and said angrily, “Susan went too far, didn’t she? She actually put Mandy in the hospital!”

Joshua’s eyes were deep, and he said quietly, “Susan is unpredictable, but she is also easy to coax. As long as her words are obeyed, she won’t be too hard on people around her.”

“Susan must have asked her to do something terrible, which she refused, so Susan bullied her,” said Hazel angrily.

After all, Henry had the nerve to take advantage of her because of Susan’s arrangement, and it was Mandy’s defection that helped her buy time. That must have been the reason that Susan was so suspicious of Mandy.

Hazel had a clear idea of who she should love and hate. Mandy helped her when she was attacked in Henry’s hotel room, so Hazel repaid her when Susan attacked her.

Joshua’s expression was calm, as if he did not care about what had happened between them. He calmly looked at Hazel. “What are you going to do now? Stay with her?”

Hazel frowned slightly as she looked back at Mandy, who was slowly waking up.

“Where am I?” Mandy grabbed for her black-rimmed glasses on the pillow beside her and put them on.

Seeing her awake, Hazel let out a sigh of relief and told her about her illness.

“Miss Crowe, thank you so much,” Mandy said, biting her lip. “In fact, Luna was beating me because I took something of hers which was related to you.”
