Chapter 650: I Won’t Play Tricks

“The moment I saw you, I understood what was the most important thing my world lacked,” he said as his eyes became deeper. “So, whatever the cost, I must stay with you. Hazel, there are only two kinds of people in my world. One is you while one is someone else. I only have good feelings for you. My heart doesn’t feel anything for anyone else.”

Hazel felt her heart pound in her chest. Joshua looked so grave. She sensed that he was serious and that he was not lying.

“I believe you…” she whispered, blushing.

In fact, she didn’t believe what Cynthia said, but she felt a little jealous anyway. However, she didn't expect that Joshua would confess his feelings to her so seriously. She felt a little happy in her heart somehow.

“Cough cough,” Simon said awkwardly, after coughing feebly twice, “Have you forgotten me….”

He shouldn’t have stayed! If he didn’t stay, he wouldn’t see their public display of affection again.

“Why are you still here?” Joshua raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. Simon wasn’t really sensible.

“All right, all right, go on, you go on.” Simon picked up his breakfast wisely and left the room for them.

To reassure Hazel, Joshua asked Jaxson to get to the bottom of what happened two years ago.

Two years ago, Joshua did come to Country M for a business trip, and Cynthia stayed in the same hotel.

It was just that Jaxson was with him at that time. Jaxson did have some impression of it. He vaguely remembered that Joshua once rescued a female guest who had fallen into the water, and that female guest seemed to be Cynthia.

Later on, the two people had never encountered each other again.

Knowing this, Hazel was completely speechless. “It doesn’t seem to be an affair. Why is she still hiding it, as if something shady has happened between you and her?”

“If she doesn’t say so, then how can she lure you into walking out?” Joshua said quietly.

“What should I do now?” she asked.

She didn’t know Joshua’s plans, but she knew he must have a card up his sleeve.

“Contact her and agree on a meeting place and time,” he said quietly.

“Okay, what should I do after that?” she asked.

“Then leave it to me. You don’t have to worry about little things like that,” he whispered.

She nodded. Whatever Joshua had to do, all she had to do was trust him.

Soon, Hazel contacted Cynthia, and they agreed on a meeting place and time.

The place they appointed was a lakeside villa in the suburbs. The owner of the villa had not lived there for so long that it had become a gathering place for wanderers and drug addicts. Of course, Cynthia had driven those people out ahead of time.

But the first person to arrive was Madeline. She was extremely excited.

Cynthia called her the other day, saying that she was going to attack Hazel and asking Madeline if she’d be interested in knowing what would happen to Hazel. Cynthia even kept a special seat for her.

Madeline certainly didn’t want to miss the opportunity. Moreover, she had already figured out how to secretly record the whole process of Cynthia’s revenge on Hazel. After Hazel disappeared from the world, as long as she gave the video to Joshua, how could Joshua possibly let Cynthia go? After she got rid of these two love rivals who were the most threatening, Joshua would be hers!

Madeline couldn’t hold back her excitement at the thought of this! She hastily hid in the room Cynthia had mentioned. Then she looked out the window toward the lake, ready to watch the good drama that would emerge.

Not far from the lake, a car came slowly. It came behind the villa.

Simon sat in the car together with Mandy, who wore a frightened face.

“Will you really let me go as long as I go to the villa to meet with that woman?” Mandy asked incredulously.

“Of course,” Simon answered with a half-smile.

Mandy was still a little incredulous. After being tortured for a few days, she confessed everything. Then Simon actually relented and said he could let her go! But before that, she must come here and meet someone for Hazel.

Mandy didn’t believe him, but she couldn’t believe it. Whether it was a trap or not, she couldn’t give up the chance to leave.

Mandy took a deep breath and got ready to get out.

“Wait a minute,” Simon stopped her suddenly. “You have one last injection today.”

Two men who seemed doctors came forward to give her an injection.

“Wait...” Mandy hesitated. “Is this really an injection for beautifying?”

“Of course,” Simon replied, his eyes resting on her face. “You were also treated with this kind of injection the other day, weren’t you? Isn't it because you can recover so quickly?”

Mandy’s doubts were instantly dispelled. She said, “Go ahead.”

When the doctors began to give her an injection, Simon looked at her with meaningful eyes.

A few months later, Mandy would know what the injection she was treated with today. It would restore her face, but how could Joshua allow a woman like Mandy to keep a face that was similar to Hazel’s?

Within three months, these potions would slowly erode all the places of Mandy’s face that had been changed, including the bridge of her nose, her forehead, and her chin, and they would spread all over Mandy’s face making it extremely difficult to remove them.

As for what Mandy’s face would look like in the future, he didn’t want to know, but he knew that it would be absolutely impossible for Mandy to get a face that looked like Hazel again through plastic surgery.

It was because many had a similar face that she could frame Hazel over and over again. Now, Joshua solved the problem directly from the root. How despairing would Mandy be without that face?

Simon could not help but exclaim with emotions in his heart. Joshua's behavior really impressed him.

“May I go now?” Mandy asked nervously after the injection.

Simon looked at the watch and nodded. “Just go.”

Mandy opened the door at once.

“Don’t play tricks,” said Simon coldly. “Or I’ll detonate the bomb on your bully at any moment!”

Not trusting Mandy to be obedient, he strapped a remote-controlled bomb to her stomach in place of Hazel’s big belly. The bomb was locked, but Simon had put the key in the villa. In this way, he didn’t have to worry at all that Mandy would disobey him.

Mandy hastily agreed, “I won’t play tricks. Absolutely not!”
