Hazel hesitated but decided to answer the call.
"Hazel, where have you been?" Susan said irritably.
"Gone to nurture my relationship with Joshua," Hazel replied without emotion.
"You really don't have a sense of crisis," Susan was anxious. "Don't you know what has happened?"
"I just found out." Hazel lowered her eyes.
"You are not anxious?" Susan's voice sounded worried.
"What is the point of being anxious? I don't have a necklace to prove my identity," Hazel was worried before, but Susan's attitude made her feel a little odd. "More importantly, why are you more anxious than ?"
"You...!" Susan was speechless and angry.
"Right, what did your mother say about the necklace? " Hazel asked.
Susan was shocked and said, "I did ask my mother, and she said that there was a necklace. She hadn't seen it, though, so she could not distinguish between real and fake."
"Really?" Hazel was sowhat disappointed, she felt that the necklace would be concrete proof. She had asked her adoptive parents if she had anything with her when they picked her up, but there was nothing, which only upset her.
"Hazel, can't you pay more attention to the situation?" Susan was angry. "You don't know it, but she was at my house every day, trying to see my mother. She was so annoying!"
"Why did she go to see your mother?" Hazel was sowhat surprised.
"Who knows?" Susan sneered. "I think she just wanted to find a way to get my mother's support!"
Hazel's eyes were shining. So, it was true, even though Sunny had minimal shares in Denmark Group, her identity was more important. If she admitted to Mandy's identity, it would be useless for others to object.
"Hazel, what kind of evidence do you have?" Susan was trying to co up with an idea for her. "Or you can make a necklace? I really don't want to see her being so proud!
"You are not doing a favor" Hazel was sowhat speechless. "If I really did that, I would only be helping Mandy."
False is false, it cannot beco true, and if she played gas, she would be caught. Mandy had evidence, which was a disadvantage for her, but if she made a mistake, then others would believe Mandy's identity.
"You really make angry. It's your business, and if you are not worried, why do I need to worry?" Susan said impatiently. "Oh, my mom wants to see you."
"See ? Why?" Hazel's heart was beating. With the evidence favoring Mandy, why would Sunny want to see her? Could it be that she discovered the missing pages, that she stole the last ti she was at the house?
It seed unlikely that it would be about the missing pages, though. After all, Joshua said it was just an ordinary white paper that did not contain secrets.
"How do I know? If I knew what my mom wanted, I wouldn't be disgusted by her!" Susan told her when and where to et Sunny, then hung up without saying goodbye.
Hazel thought for a while, if Sunny wanted to see her, she should go no matter what the reason was.

After spending a few days at Denmark Residence to complete her thesis, Hazel had to deliver it to the school. She packed her bag and went to have breakfast.
"Do you need to go out?" Joshua asked strangely.
"Well," Hazel explained. "I am going to school to submit my thesis..."
Joshua frowned, leaving Hazel speechless. She planned to hand in her thesis and then go to see Sunny.
"Give the thesis, and I can hand it in for you," Joshua said.
Hazel's eyes deepened. Was Joshua going to keep her in the house?
"Joshua," Taking a deep breath, Hazel said in a low voice, "The internet still has not been repaired?"
"Hmm..." Joshua looked sowhat embarrassed.
"So things are hard to conceal." Hazel's eyes flashed. "You used the excuse that I needed to prepare for graduation as a reason to cut my internet access and confiscate my phone. However, not I only feel more worried that sothing more serious has happened."
Joshua's eyes flashed slightly. "What do you know?"
"Well, I knew the first day we ca back," Hazel said with disappointnt,
"You didn't tell about it, and does that an that you have no confidence in my identity?"
Joshua was surprised. He shook his head without hesitation. "Hazel, I did this because I am really afraid that you will be affected. If I knew that you would feel like this, then I would have told you in the beginning…"
Joshua gently took her hand. "Hazel, no matter what happens, don't doubt yourself."
Hazel smiled bitterly. Mandy had evidence, she was shaken, but if she showed it, Joshua would worry. She took a deep breath and said, "Can I go to school then?"
"You don't have to go," Joshua whispered. "You can save ti and continue to prepare your defense."
Hazel was feeling worried and wondered why Joshua didn't want her to go to school. She didn't really have to go and finally agreed to give the paper to Joshua.
After Joshua left, she went to et Sunny. They went shopping and talked calmly as if nothing had happened. When they finished shopping, they sat down at a nearby café. Hazel was even more confused by the whole eting.
"What kind of coffee do you like to drink? It's on ," Sunny said.
"I don't really like coffee. Can I have so juice?" Hazel said.
Sunny's eyes deepened, but she didn't comnt. She ordered Hazel a glass of juice.
"Auntie Sunny..." Hazel hesitated. "I don't know if I should call you that or not. After all, you know what has happened."
Hazel was puzzled. If Mandy had evidence and she was more likely to be Marcus and Cate's daughter, why did Sunny want to et with her?
"You an that Mandy has the necklace?" Sunny nodded. "I heard about it. However, it does not affect the relationship between us. After all, you will marry Joshua and call Auntie Sunny."
