Chapter 642: You’ve Got Something To Deal With It

“Why are you back?” She pushed him with some rebuke and asked, “You didn’t leave Mandy at the hotel, did you?”

She was sleepy just now, but she was awake now, so she had questions to ask.

“It doesn’t matter. Simon is watching,” he explained.

She frowned. “What if the man behind the scenes comes to save Mandy?”

“If so, it would be better,” he replied as his eyes were deep. “But I don’t think anyone will save her.”

She looked at him blankly. Suddenly she seemed to think of something. “Do you mean… Mandy has been abandoned?”

“Mm,” he nodded and said, “She’s been abandoned since she was caught. Presumably, the people behind her know that too, so they’re not coming to save her.” but Joshua and Simon hoped someone would come to save Mindy so that they could catch the people behind her.

But neither of them really had much hope.

“Come on, go to sleep,” Joshua whispered softly in Hazel’s ear. “I have work to do tomorrow.”

“Can you let me go to the manor tomorrow?” Her eyes were sparkling. What Joshua would do was to confront Ted, of course. Hazel thought Joshua wouldn’t let her go.

“Go to sleep, and I’ll take you there,” Joshua whispered. He didn’t want Hazel to go, but if he didn’t allow her to go, her imagination would run wild. He might as well allow her to follow him and thus reassure her.

“I’m asleep!” Hazel hurried to close her eyes.

Joshua, who was amused, gave a kiss on her lips and held her to sleep.

As they had guessed, no one came to save Mandy during the whole night.

Simon took the opportunity to interrogate Mandy, but she didn’t confess anything at all, so he didn’t waste much time on her.

After waking up, Joshua and Hazel had breakfast and headed straight to the manor.

Arriving at the manor, they went unimpeded to the main hall. Somehow, Hazel found that there was something special in the eyes of the servants she met as if it was vaguely sympathy.

Joshua also noticed that. He stopped one of the servants and asked, “Who else came to the manor today?”

“Master Bryant has just arrived,” the servant said, giving Hazel a pitying look. “It seems she comes for Miss Cynthia. Master Joshua, shall I take Mrs. Denmark somewhere else first?”

“No need,” Joshua spoke indifferently.

The servant looked at Hazel again, with more sympathy in her eyes.

Hazel was somewhat speechless. Did Daniel’s arrival have anything to do with her? In the servant’s opinion, she still needed to avoid it?

But there was no time for her to ask. The servant had led them into the main hall.

Hardly had they entered the hall when Daniel’s voice sounded.“Uncle King, you must do something for Cynthia! Although she grew up in Country M., she is very conservative….”

Ted looked toward the door, and then his face paled slightly.

Daniel, who sensed something was wrong, looked back just in time to see Joshua walk in with Hazel. Daniel’s face turned pale, and the next moment, he walked quickly toward Joshua.

“Joshua, you have to give an explanation to the Bryant family today!” Daniel growled at Joshua.

“You can represent the whole Bryant family?” Joshua spoke lightly.

Instantly, Daniel was speechless. He was not favored at home. His previous remark was sort of bravado indeed.

Joshua ignored him completely and calmly took Hazel to walk past him. Then Joshua nodded at Ted and helped Hazel down on the couch.

Both Ted and Daniel watched their intimacy, with mixed feelings.

“Joshua,” said Ted, putting down the glass in his hand as his eyes that swept over Hazel became deep, “Daniel really has something very urgent to tell you. Were you and Cynthia together all night yesterday?”

“No.” Joshua calmly denied.

Ted froze. Neither Ted nor Daniel expected Joshua to deny so simply.

“Joshua Denmark!” Daniel came to him in exasperation. “My sister came to meet you last night, and I saw her come into your bedroom! But she didn’t go home all night! Where did you hide her?!”

Hasn’t Cynthia returned home? Hazel was a little surprised. No wonder Daniel showed up so early in the morning.

Joshua opened his mouth lightly. “Daniel, if your sister is missing, you should call the police. Can I help you?”

“You...” Anger choked Daniel’s words.

Cynthia hadn’t come home. He believed that Joshua and Cynthia had slept together last night, so he came to the manor early in the morning to expose the matter to Ted as an elder brother who wanted to help his sister uphold justice and then obtain the best interest.

It was because of this identity that he dared behave so boldly in front of Joshua. Anyway, he used to curry favor with Joshua whenever he saw Joshua.

Daniel had thought that Joshua would be definitely guilty, but Joshua didn’t react as he had expected at all, making him feel as if what he did was in vain!

“Joshua, don’t get angry,” said Ted, his face hardening. “You should handle it in the right way. Even if it was an accident, you shouldn’t run from it. In fact, young people are very open now, and it is common for young people to be impulsive….”

Daniel was anxious. He said quickly, “Uncle King, you can't say that. My sister is well educated, and she is more of a conservative person in Country Z. She has always been very conservative in sex! Now, she suddenly lost her virginity. What if she takes it to heart? After all, she’s the apple of our Bryant family’s eye!”

Ted was more unhappy. He didn’t help Daniel force Joshua because he didn’t like the things Daniel did behind his back. But how dared Daniel threaten him with the Bryant family?

“What do you want to do?” asked Joshua suddenly.

Noticing the opportunity appeared, Daniel said without hesitation, “Since Cynthia has been sleeping at your place all night, she is your woman, and you must be responsible for her marriage! She is the daughter of the Bryant family, so she can’t follow you without a proper identity. You’ve got to do something to deal with it!”

Hazel was dumbfounded. Did Daniel want Joshua to divorce her and marry Cynthia?
