Chapter 410: The Mastermind Behind All Chaos

"So," Joshua's glare became sharper, "Director Cohen admits that he knew Mandy and has been in contact with her for a long period of time?”

"I..." Fred slumped down in his chair.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Even with the photo, the directors were suspicious of Joshua’s story. They found it hard to believe that Fred could hide that well for twenty years, just to get Denmark’s property. No matter what others were thinking, Fred knew that he had to admit to himself that people were conflicted and that he may not win.

Hazel looked at Joshua quietly. It turned out that he had been investigating all along. The details and the secrets from the past all required a lot of effort, and when Joshua was doing his best to protect her, she had doubted him. She suddenly felt remorseful.

Joshua glanced at Fred softly, and he continued, "Director Cohen, I don’t think that you could do this on your own? You must have had another person behind you, a mastermind who instructed you to do everything. You are now exposed, and you may have to take full responsibility. Where is that person? Is he going to save you? Do you think it is worth taking the blame for a person like that?”

Just when everyone thought Joshua was done with accusations, he had more, they were in complete shock.

Fred was not the mastermind! There was someone else that he was working for?!?

Fred's face changed slightly, and he looked at Joshua with horror. What did Joshua know? He had been very cautious, it was impossible that there was any evidence!

"This was all planned by Uncle Cohen and me!" Mandy suddenly stood up from her chair and sighed, "I really am not the daughter of Denmark's Family. When I was young, he came to me and gave me a lot of money. He paid for my cosmetic surgery and said that when I grew up, he would help me take over the Denmark family property!”

Fred's face became pale, and Mandy's sudden confession left him speechless.

After a short silence, the directors began to yell. They had so much pressure on them, and one by one, they supported Mandy, but it was all a scam. They thought they were smart, but it turned out that they were fooled by Mandy and Fred.

More importantly, they had offended Joshua, he had always been very kind to them and brought them a lot of wealth. They didn’t have much real power in the Denmark Group, and that is why they wanted the leader changed, they wanted more power.

However, with Mandy being an impostor, it just gave Joshua a chance to punish them. They were full of regret, thinking of how their future with Denmark Group was going to be a lot less comfortable than it was.

Mandy’s face was pale as she watched everyone chattering about the situation, she didn’t mean to say what she did.

Hazel looked over at her thoughtfully, she was surprised by Mandy. Joshua had said that there was a mastermind behind Fred. It must have been true; Mandy was so anxious to admit everything that she was clearly afraid that Fred might disclose the mastermind behind the plot.

People began to wonder if Mandy was protecting someone, and if she was, why would she.

“Director Cohen,” Joshua looked at him indifferently and continued to ask, “So, you planned to make Mandy pretend to be the Denmark family’s daughter after you kidnaped their daughter. No wonder my parents were so strict with protecting their daughter, and only people they trusted could have successfully kidnapped her.”

"No, I, I didn't..." Fred tried to argue.

"Shut the fuck up!" Sunny stood up angrily, looking coldly at the two, "You are too disappointing. I trusted you so much, and I even thought I had found the daughter of my sister and brother-in-law! You actually convinced me and all of the directors! No…you must be turned into the police for what you have done!”

Fred didn’t say anything at all. Hazel watched Mandy, if she read her expressions correctly, there seemed to be some kind of a pain in Mandy’s eyes.

There was suddenly a knock on the meeting room door. Jaxson opened it, and a group of policemen walked in.

"What happened?" The directors looked at each other.

The policemen went directly to Fred and Mandy, and they said forcefully, "Someone reported that you are both suspected of fraud and kidnapping, please come with us.”

"What? What?" Fred's legs went weak, and he was pulled out of the meeting with Mandy.

"Did you call the police in advance?" Hazel was surprised and asked Joshua. The police officers had arrived just in time.

"No." Joshua's eyes became a little deeper. He hadn’t called the police, but they had got there so quickly, it meant that the mastermind behind it all was in the meeting with them.

The mastermind would have seen the situation unfold, and in order to stop Joshua’s questioning, he called the police so he could prevent Fred from exposing him.

Joshua's gaze swept over the crowd and eventually landed on Sunny. Sunny was still looking like she had been deceived and coldly watched Fred and Mandy being taken out of the meeting room.

Joshua frowned.

"Joshua, I didn't expect that Fred would have lied to me about this kind of thing.” Sunny said with a sad look, “Is Hazel really the daughter of my sister and brother-in-law?”

"Yes." Joshua nodded. He winked at Jaxson, in an instant, Jaxson understood his request and left the room to go after Fred and Mandy.

"But..." Sunny looked like she was caught in a dilemma. “Joshua, it’s not that we don’t believe you but given the fact that Mandy has a birthmark and was an impostor. How can we easily believe that Hazel is the daughter, just because she has a birthmark?”

"Yes, yes, right..." The directors echoed.

They hoped that Denmark Group would change leaders, but they wanted a new leader that they could easily manipulate. If Hazel became the new leader, their situation would not improve. They were all aware of the relationship between Joshua and Hazel.

Joshua slammed his hand down on the table, and he said faintly, "Exactly, I have evidence of this, too."
