Chapter 625: Lure The People Out

“But your father….” Hazel said with a wry smile, “won’t let it go.”

She and Joshua both knew that Ted hated her.

In the past, when he couldn’t find fault with her, Ted kept making things difficult for her.

Now Ted had the ‘evidence.’ Who knew what he might do?

Joshua wore a solemn expression. He was worried that Ted might take advantage of the evidence.

“Let’s find Mandy Wilson first. Then, when we find her, the truth will be revealed,” Joshua said in a serious voice.

Now the best thing to do was to find Mandy. Once he found her, he could solve the problem. As for Ted, Ted wouldn’t be kind to Hazel even without the video.

“But she must be hiding now. How shall we find her?” Hazel sighed helplessly.

“Don’t worry, she can’t sit still.” Joshua analyzed, “There should be more videos in her hand. The posted video should be just a starter. As long as she continues, we’ll find her!”

Now Mandy had such a good chance to discredit Hazel and humiliate Joshua, how could Mandy, who hated them so much, possibly make only one video? It was likely that there would be more videos that were even nastier.

“But…” Hazel furrowed her eyebrows. “How did Mandy find Cynthia Bryant?”

Joshua’s face became a little grave.

Even if Ted loved Cynthia, it was only a matter of days, but Mandy knew all about it and went straight to Cynthia.

That was to say, there were undercover agents around Hazel and Joshua, or around Ted! But even so, since when was Mandy so capable? If it wasn’t Mandy who was so capable, then it must be the people behind Mandy.

“I’ll find it out,” Joshua said, his hand resting on Hazel’s stomach and his eyes softening. “Hazel, you just need to have a healthy pregnancy and leave the rest to me.”

“Okay,” Hazel smiled and agreed.

She trusted no matter what happened, he could solve it because he was her husband, the man she loved. She was in a very special situation, so all she had to do was keep her spirits up and protect herself and the baby, which would be enough to make the women hiding in the dark furious.

Suddenly, Joshua’s phone rang. He looked at the name on the screen and raised his eyebrows in disgust, but then he answered the phone.

Simon’s voice sounded from the phone, “Joshua Denmark! I don’t believe that video! There’s definitely something wrong with that video. The woman can’t be Hazel!”

“I know,” Joshua interrupted him calmly. “You called too late.”

“Huh?” Simon was a little bewildered. “What’s the matter?”

“Don’t ask so many questions,” said Joshua, with deep eyes. “Come over here, and we’ll talk.”

Simon was still at the manor. Maybe Simon had the other party’s spy exactly around him. It would be easier and safer for Simon to talk with Joshua in his villa.

“Good,” Simon quickly agreed.

Hanging up the phone, Joshua’s eyes became deeper. This time, he had to make a good plan to lure Mandy to appear!

Simon arrived quickly, but he was stopped by several guards as soon as he entered the villa.

“What do you want to do?” Startled, Simon looked at Joshua and Hazel at a short distance.

“Cooperate with the guards,” said Joshua, frowning slightly. “Let them check if you have anything on you that you shouldn’t have.”

“Are you nuts?!” Simon glared at him. “How can I possibly bring anything I shouldn’t?”

“You wouldn’t carry it, but what if someone put it on you on purpose?” Joshua said in a serious tone.

Looking at his serious expression, Simon paled slightly. “Do you mean that there are perhaps spies around me?”

Joshua nodded.

After checking, Simon’s mobile phone was also checked. Again, there was no eavesdropping device on his body, so Joshua let him in.

“What’s going on?” Simon was at a loss.

Hazel and Joshua didn’t hide anything from Simon and told him about their guess.

Simon’s face was a little grim. Then, suddenly, he looked at Joshua and Hazel with a complicated look. “Do you believe me so much?”

They hid nothing from him, that was to say, they had not included him in the list of suspects from the very beginning. This kind of trust really touched him.

“You misunderstand,” Joshua said lightly. “You can’t hide anything from us, so it can’t be you who is behind this.”

Simon was so angry and amused that his touched feeling vanished without a trace.

“Come on, can’t you two have a good talk?” Hazel had to speak.

“Fine. Let’s stop speaking something fake,” Simon waved his hands, knowing Joshua had just been joking. “What are you going to do now?”

“Lure the people out.” Joshua’s eyes narrowed.

***

When Simon went back to the manor, Simon had a big fight with Ted.

After that, a rumor that there was a possible conflict between Joshua and Hazel quickly spread around the manor.

Ted King, who had already seen the video and originally planned to do something, went magically quiet, further confirming the rumor.

The news, of course, reached Cynthia. Cynthia was really exalted to hear this.

She rushed to share it with Daniel, but he wasn’t as optimistic as she was.

“Cynthia, don’t get excited too early,” Daniel said, frowning. “I’ve also heard that Joshua and Hazel haven’t really fallen out. It’s true that they had a conflict, but it should be settled by Hazel because Joshua doesn’t seem to want to dump Hazel...”

“What?” Cynthia was distraught. “With such a nasty video, can she still handle Joshua?”

“We can’t underestimate this woman,” Daniel said. “We’ll have to wait and see what Joshua’s attitude will be.”

“Daniel, where did your news come from?” Cynthia’s eyes lit up. “Have your men infiltrated Joshua’s villa?”

“You overestimate me!” Daniel said with a wry smile. “Joshua is very careful and cautious about people around him. My men can’t infiltrate the villa at all. I know this information because I got someone to hear it from his servants.”

“Then let’s wait,” Cynthia agreed with reluctance.

As the days passed, those who waited in secret became a little restless.

According to the news from Denmark's family, Joshua and Hazel really seemed to be having problems these days. Some people said they slept in separate rooms. Others said they heard loud noises coming from their bedroom. There were all kinds of rumors, but Joshua doesn’t seem to have any intention of breaking up with Hazel.
