Chapter 624: What Are You They?

“If we make the incident too serious, he’ll find out it’s you who did it sooner or later. When the time comes, I’m afraid he’ll be angry with you. After all, men like us don’t like women who are too dishonest,” Daniel explained.

“Then what should we do?” Cynthia reluctantly accepted this.

“Wait and see what his attitude is,” Daniel said. He was not Cynthia and would not do something improperly impulsively because of affection. He did not want to offend Joshua at all but wanted to see Cynthia marry Joshua.

He was not like Ted. Ted always thought that Joshua should listen to him, so Ted underestimated Joshua’s strength because of his fatherhood. But Daniel didn’t look down on Joshua. Daniel was very ambitious, but he also knew about his own strength, so, if possible, he would make friends with Joshua and use Joshua’s strength to take over the Bryant family.

“Do you mean we should do nothing until he and Hazel fall out?” Cynthia frowned, unhappy. Somehow, remembering how Joshua treated Hazel when she made a scene at West House, she felt vaguely worried, “What if... I mean, what if Joshua doesn’t care?”

“Hazel cheated on Joshua. How could he not care?” Daniel was puzzled.

“Not necessarily. You’ve never met Hazel. She is quite capable. What if she coaxes Joshua into believing she is innocent?” Cynthia asked worriedly. “Besides, is it possible that Joshua hasn’t seen the video at all because Hazel found it first and kept it from him?”

Daniel frowned. Cynthia’s guess was not impossible. Hazel Crowe must not be a simple woman as she could always stay with Joshua.

“If that’s true,” Daniel thought for a moment, “then we’ll post this video on the Internet in Country M, and when it goes viral, we’ll post it in Country Z. When the time comes, Joshua won’t be able to stop it even if he wants to. I don’t believe if it brings disgrace on him, he can still be with Hazel Crowe.”

“Right! Then my chance will come!” Cynthia shouted happily, “The video should be sent to Ted too! How can he not listen to my explanation before?”

“Come on,” said Daniel crossly. “Haven’t you offended Ted at the manor enough? If you send it, you’ll never be with Joshua again!”

“So I can’t tell him anything?” Cynthia said with reluctance, “The father and the son can’t fall out unless he knows the incident. Nothing can prove that I didn’t lie unless….”

“Shut up!” Daniel interrupted her angrily. He had no idea that his own sister would be so naive. “Ted King has been overbearing. However, you actually want to point out his mistake in front of him. Are you trying to make him be bored with you? Of course, we need to let him know about something this big, but there are other ways.”

“What are they?” Cynthia asked urgently.

“Isn’t there a woman gossiping secrets around Ted?” Daniel sneered.

“Do you mean Madeline Carter? She is the most suitable person for the job indeed. She can definitely let Ted know about it in the first place.” Cynthia’s eyes brightened, and she scoffed, “That woman actually pretended to have a chance encounter with me and intentionally disclosed the information to me, and secretly sent me anonymous emails. But how could she possibly escape my brother’s notice?”

“Come on, stop sucking up to me,” Daniel said impatiently. “I don’t have to teach you how to do that, do I?”

“Absolutely not!” Cynthia said in an earnest voice.

***

Soon, Jaxson called Joshua, saying Mandy Wilson, who should have been in prison, died more than six months ago.

Jaxson and the others were so busy looking for Joshua, who fell off the cliff, that none noticed her situation.

Her ‘death’ was very strange as even her ‘body’ was cremated, so there was no trace of her death.

But now they could be quite sure the woman in the video was exactly Mandy Wilson!

She had been doing plastic surgery all her life according to Hazel’s mother’s image, and thus he had a face that looked very much like Hazel’s, so in a matter of months, she was able to get a face that looked exactly like Hazel’s.

But there were some unsolved questions: Who took Mandy Wilson? Where is Mandy now? And what is her purpose?

“And who is the person posting the video, and what was his purpose?” Hazel frowned and said. “I don’t think the person who posted the video is necessarily in the same team as Mandy.”

“You’re right.” Joshua nodded approvingly. “The person who posted the video doesn’t know the woman is another woman instead of you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have posted it in the middle of the night.”

“Or maybe… they weren’t thinking about the time difference?” Hazel looked at Joshua in shock.

Joshua’s eyes darkened. They gave each other a look and instantly understood each other’s ideas.

“Cynthia Bryant.” There was a chill in Joshua’s eyes.

“It’s supposed to be her,” Hazel recalled. “When we left in the morning, she was so sure and insisted you should check her phone, saying she had evidence. I think it’s because you didn’t do that, so she got angry and decided to post it online.”

After they left the manor, Joshua accompanied Hazel for the prenatal exam while Cynthia prepared for the online revelations. Because Cynthia didn’t think about the time difference, she posted the video in the wee hours of the morning in Country Z, making it so easy for them to stop the video from spreading.

In this way, everything made sense.

“It looks like we have to think a little bit more carefully about what they’re going to do next.” Hazel frowned more tightly.

Now she and Joshua were kind of under siege. There was not only Ted ready to break them up any time but also Mandy and the people behind her and Cynthia and Daniel, who were pushed to the forefront.

“Cynthia Bryant and Daniel Bryant are not to be feared,” Joshua said lightly. “Daniel is not awesome or doesn’t have a powerful strength. At best, he can say a few words to incite Ted King or slightly stir up trouble online. But at least they’ll be quiet for a while, waiting for my attitude first.”

At this point, Daniel had no idea that in such a short period of time, Joshua and Hazel had already guessed it was they who posted the video and even anticipated what they would do!
