Chapter 381: Just Tell Me

"We can't blame our young master.” Chester swiftly explained, "Our organization was originally strong in Country Z. However, more than 20 years ago, Country Z sent undercover agents to the organization, and we were surrounded from both inside and outside. The organization had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from Country Z. However, we will go back sooner or later."

Hazel quietly let out a sigh of relief. Simon's forces had no foundation in Country Z, which was good news for her. If she could return home with Joshua, she wouldn’t have to worry about Simon anymore.

No matter how versatile and powerful Simon may have been, he would not prosper in Country Z for a while. It was good to have confirmation, though.

"So, there was really an undercover agent in your organization." Hazel felt a little funny. "It sounds like he must have been very good. He actually drove your group out of the country. Did he get promoted to vice president of your organization or something?”

Simon was so angry that he wanted to flip the table over.

"I am just curious." Hazel blinked. "Just tell me. I want to hear stories about you and your organization."

Simon's face suddenly darkened, and the atmosphere in the dining room became extremely tense.

Hazel was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw Simon look like that. It seemed that he was strangely appalled when she asked questions about the organization.

She couldn't help but say again, "Is it an off-limits subject for you? If so, you can keep it to yourself."

Simon sneered, “It was an old man in my family. When I was young, he was so fascinated with a woman that he almost destroyed the whole organization!”

"Wait!" Hazel exclaimed, "Did you mean that undercover agent was actually a woman? Who was the old man? Your father? You actually have a father?"

Simon snarled and clenched his teeth, "Sweetheart, how can I not have a father? Do you think I came out of a stone?"

Hazel said with a smile, "I think guys like you usually had a sad birth story and that you had to climb to the top step by step with many years of hard work, right?"

"I am not that kind of guy. Sorry, I let you down." She amused Simon, and the repressed atmosphere of the entire dining room was suddenly gone.

Although most of his face was covered with the mask, his lips were raised slightly, and he looked rather handsome. Hazel was a little embarrassed that she was staring at his smile. Was she really missing Joshua that much? Why did she think that when Simon laughed, he looked like Joshua?

"Thinking about Joshua again?" Simon sneered.

Hazel was clever, but her facial expressions always gave away her emotions. She couldn’t hide them at all.

"Yeah." Hazel did not even try to deny it. She then said, "I am still waiting for him to save me."

Simon snorted, "I admit, Joshua is really very powerful. He developed Denmark Group on such a large scale at such an early age. Even in Country F, he used the strength of all parties in the shortest possible time and drove me out of the country. I have witnessed his means now!"

Hazel looked at him, a bit stunned. She had thought that Simon would try to disgrace Joshua, but he was actually praising him.

"What's going on now?" Hazel couldn't help but whisper, "You guys admire each other?"

Simon’s face was unaccountably ugly, “I haven’t finished yet!”

"Hazel, we are at sea." Simon looked at her with a smile. "The sea is much bigger than the land. How do you think Joshua can find us?"

That was exactly what Hazel was worried about. While at sea, Simon could go anywhere. How would Joshua find her?

"I am full. I am going to go back to rest." Hazel had a gloomy, depressed look as she stood up.

“Chester said you would like to go to the deck to see the view?” Simon asked.

"Not anymore," Hazel said with a bored voice. Suddenly, she thought of something, she turned to Simon and pointed at her face and arms. There were a lot of black marks on her body. "Never think of attacking me at night. I will tell you that I don’t take a shower at night."

Simon looked at her silently. He found that since he met Hazel, he couldn't smile very much. This little girl really tried her best to cope with him.

Back in her room, Hazel was feeling lost. If she was in Country F, or any country for that matter, as long as she could find a place to hide, she could contact Joshua. However, they were at sea, and there was no way to escape.

Furthermore, there was absolutely no way for her to deliver a message to Joshua. Hazel was startled by a knock on her door. An obedient-looking woman walked in, “Miss Crowe, the young master asked me to serve you…”

"Get out, I don't need it!" Hazel snarled.

But that woman ignored what she said and went forward again. "Miss Crowe, you seem to be missing an earring. Can I help you find it?"

Hazel was surprised. She reached out and touched her ears. The stud on her left ear was indeed gone. She tried not to show her distress. The earrings were given to her by Joshua because she didn't like complicated accessories. Presumably, that earring was accidentally knocked off by Simon's servants when they forced her to take a shower.

Hazel hurriedly bent down and looked for it.

But that woman suddenly picked up an ear stud from the corner and handed it to Hazel. "Miss Crowe found it."

Hazel reached out cautiously, watching the woman carefully. It was bizarre that she found the earring that quickly. When Hazel looked at the stud, it was different than the one she lost.

The woman was about to put the earring in Hazel’s hand, but she wouldn’t let go of it. Then, suddenly the woman used her index finger to write on Hazel’s palm.

Hazel tried to pull away out of fear, but the woman held her hand tightly. She began trembling as the woman spelled out D-E-N-M-A-R-K.

The woman must have been working undercover and arranged by Joshua himself. The earring was actually a new one sent to her from Joshua.

It all seemed so unreal. Hazel looked dazed, but the woman didn’t dare to say anything more.

She turned around and walked out.
