Chapter 458: She Must See Joshua

Hazel couldn’t help looking back and saw Katie’s face, which was white as a sheet.

Hazel had unspoken criticism in the heart. Joshua was really… heartless! He didn’t give Katie any face at all. He seemed to be completely unaware of her presence, which was the most hurtful.

After all, Katie must have come prepared if she dared to shout that she needed five minutes.

As they walked into the elevator, Hazel asked curiously, “Denmark Group and the Shawn family are working on a project?”

“Denmark Group works with a lot of companies,” Joshua said. “It wouldn’t be surprising if the Shawn family is working with us on one of our projects.”

“Oh…” She nodded.

“But soon, the cooperation would stop,” he said softly.

“... You want her to have no excuse to haunt you, don’t you?” she said, looking at him speechlessly. “Do you need to do that for just a trifle?”

“Yes,” he said quietly.

“What if she makes up some other excuse?” she asked.

“Then she’ll lose more,” he spoke with a calm expression.

Alright! Hazel was thoroughly convinced.

However, the Shawn family and the Denmark Group were not of the same level. Even if the cooperation was withdrawn, Denmark Group would have no impact because Denmark Group could find other companies to cooperate with at any time. But it would be a different story to the Shawn family.

Hazel understood this and thus didn’t say anything more.

***

Katie was not qualified to enter Denmark Group, so she could only stand outside the building of Denmark Group. The security guards dutifully stopped her from coming near.

She kept fawning over the security guards, but they were all professionally trained and were not moved by her sweet words.

She bit her lip in annoyance. The thought of Hazel going in and out with Joshua together made her blood boil.

In fact, until today, she hadn’t known that the person she had offended repeatedly was Denmark Group’s recently recognized daughter Hazel Crowe. Katie kept thinking that she was just Joshua’s shady mistress.

“What’s the relationship between that woman and… Master Denmark?” Katie couldn’t resist asking.

That woman? The security guard was in a daze and then stared at Katie, speechless. She wasn’t talking about Hazel, was she?

Seeing that the guard did not answer her, Katie clenched her teeth and said, “Hunk, I know you are also in a dilemma. How about this? You tell me that, and I promise you that I will not enter the Denmark Group, okay?”

The guard hesitated and then spoke, not wanting to spend too much time with Katie. “She’s the President’s assistant.”

The guard wasn’t wrong. Although Hazel’s status had changed, she still held the position of the President’s assistant, and even her work ID had not changed.

When he told Katie this, he was actually slighting her over.

But Katie was angrier. She immediately scolded Hazel countless times from the bottom of her heart. This little fox was really sly as she stayed with Joshua as an assistant. How scheming!

“Why don’t you leave?” The guard looked at her unhappily.

“Hunk,” Katie sneered. “I did not enter the Denmark Group. I’m standing in the street now. Aren’t people allowed to stand here?”

“You…!” The security guard was furious. This woman actually played word games with him. Yes, she said she wouldn’t enter, but she didn’t say she would leave.

“Then you can just stand here!” The security guard glared at her angrily, showing no sign of backing down.

Katie was very triumphant in the heart. She certainly saw it as her victory.

Now, as long as she stood there waiting, she believed that Joshua would see her sincerity.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She frowned unhappily. But when she saw the name on the screen, she directly answered the phone.

Katie wore a fake smile and said sweetly, “Grandma...”

But before she could finish the sentence, she was interrupted by the voice on the other end. “Katie, what’s wrong with you?! Have you offended someone? Your father called and said Denmark Group has just withdrawn its cooperation with our Shawn family! Don’t you know how important this cooperation is to our Shawn family?! How on earth did you work? How could you screw this up….”

Katie’s face changed dramatically. She understood quickly. All this must be done by Joshua!

That man was actually so heartless that he stopped the cooperation with the Shawn family so quickly?

Now, she was scolded by her grandmother. No, now she must pass the buck. She couldn’t admit that it was her fault.

“Grandma, are you mistaken? How can it be because of me?” she said in a wounded tone, “You can think about it; I didn’t get a chance to offend Denmark Group, did I? However, isn’t my elder sister with Master Isaac? However, she has always been dull, and Master Isaac doesn’t like her. We all know that he wanted to break off the engagement long ago. Is it possible that he is ashamed of doing that himself, so he just asked his good friend Master Denmark to warn our Shawn family?”

On the other end, there was silence. Grandma Shawn held back her anger and said, “What you say is very reasonable. I think it is your cursed sister’s fault!”

“Grandma, don’t worry.” Katie, who was delighted, added, “I will think about it, and I will figure out a way to save it.”

“You must figure out ways, my dear granddaughter,” Grandma Shawn enjoined before hanging up.

Hanging up, Katie could not help cursing, “This old woman! You’re so old, but why don’t you die?! You aren’t capable, but you’re always bossy. If you weren’t such an old fool, would I have to please you? When I marry Joshua, I’ll take ‘good care of you!”

After swearing and venting his anger, Katie waited at the gate of Denmark Group with a sullen face. Now she must wait.

She must see Joshua!

***

After attending the meeting with Joshua, Hazel walked past the secretary’s office when she heard people laughing inside; it sounded as if they mentioned ‘gate.’

She turned and walked in. “What are you talking about?”

Hazel used to work as Joshua’s secretary, so she had a good relationship with these secretaries. But because her identity had changed so much and her position was so high now that they could only look up to her, they were more or less reserved in the face of her.

Hazel talked to them for a while, and they told her what had happened.

Only then did she realize that Katie was still waiting downstairs at Denmark Group.
