Hazel couldn't believe that they were standing at the gate waiting for Joshua to arrive ho.
The kidnappers showed Mandy no rcy when they decided that she was Denmark's daughter. Yet, instead of going to the hospital to treat her injuries, Mandy changed into a beautiful dress so that she could thank Joshua. Her reason was obvious to Hazel, and she turned her head away as they got closer.
Fred and Mandy had blocked the gate to the driveway, there was no way for Joshua to get around them. When he slowed down so that he wouldn't hit them, Fred walked over to Joshua's window.
"Thank you so much for saving Mandy, Joshua." Fred all smiled. He said as he waved his hands, "Let's go in..."
Before he could finish the sentence, Joshua's car swooshed past him, leaving him with nothing but dust on his face. Mandy was standing shyly beside Fred, smiling, but she was left in shock as Joshua pulled away.
Fred assud that Joshua must not have seen them.
It wasn't just Mandy and Fred that were shocked, Hazel was as well. She couldn't believe that Joshua didn't even pay attention to them and acted as if they weren't there. She had been feeling sad, but now she was also confused and wondered if she really was mistaken about the whole situation.
When they stepped inside the gates, Joshua opened the door for Hazel. She got out of the car and looked toward the gate, Fred and Mandy were still standing there. Mandy grasped the railings and glared at her fiercely.
"Joshua Denmark! You wouldn't go as far as shutting us out when Mandy and I ca here to visit you in person?" Fred yelled with a livid expression.
"Co on, let's go inside," Joshua whispered to Hazel as if he didn't hear Fred's words at all.
Hazel was hesitant for a few monts, but she finally nodded. Fred was cursing loudly, and when he saw her and Joshua walk into Denmark Residence, he kicked the gate furiously.
"Mandy, could you be mistaken? Was it really Joshua who saved you?" asked Fred angrily.
"Yes! How can I be wrong? He even put a coat around himself!" Mandy was worried instantly.
He was very unhappy. "But look at his attitude now…."
"It must be Hazel! The bitch has to be playing gas! It must be her who won't let Joshua co close to . She is afraid of , and she knows that Joshua would pick over her," she whispered as she clenched her fists.
He frowned as he tried to say sothing, but she suddenly grabbed the railings and shouted, "Joshua Denmark! Co out! Why won't you face ?!"
"Mandy, stop that now!" His face changed.
Nanny Carter walked out of the front toward them and said, "Both of you, please go ho. The master is not available now."
"You talk nonsense! He is obviously very free!" Mandy's eyes were full of contempt. She would have cursed Nanny Carter if it hadn't been for the fact that Joshua seed to care so much about her.
Mandy couldn't understand how a servant could be so cocky. She was determined that she would demote Nanny Carter to clean toilets when she moved into Denmark Residence.
"Our master has the right to refuse rude guests," Nanny Carter simply said. She had experience with many different people, she knew what Mandy was thinking. People like Mandy didn't even regard her as a person, she was nothing but a servant to be abused.
"You...!" Mandy got exasperated and resisted the urge to scold her.
"Then when will he be free?" Fred asked. Joshua had saved Mandy, so he had done nothing wrong in any case, and Fred just wanted to thank him.
"You may call to make an appointnt. If he wants to see you, he will confirm the appointnt." Nanny Carter's expression and tone remained calm.
Mandy felt even more annoyed, there was no way of misunderstanding Nanny Carter's words. She was politely telling them that even if they did make an appointnt, Joshua might not want to see them, and he had the right to refuse them.
"It's very kind of you." Fred left with Mandy to save face.
Hazel stood in front of the living room window, watching everything that was happening at the gate. She was even more confused, Joshua's treatnt of them made it apparent that he wasn't partial to Mandy.
"Change your clothes, Hazel." Joshua brought her an outfit. "It's comfortable."
She turned around to look at him quietly. There had been mud and blood on her other clothes, Simon couldn't stand it, so he had bought her new clothes. She considered the fact that they had only been inside a few minutes when Joshua was encouraging her to change, it was obvious that he didn't like what she was wearing. Is he that jealous?
After taking the clothes, she looked at Joshua with clear eyes as she said seriously, "Joshua if you want to see Director Cohen and Mandy, I won't have any issue. You don't need to care about ."
"Why do I need to see them?" He frowned slightly. "What the hell are you thinking, Hazel?"
"It has nothing to do with what I am thinking." She felt a bit helpless as she didn't even know what to say.
"You don't want to tell ?" His eyes were dim. "Alright, I'll wait until you want to. But there's sothing more important now."
"What is it?" She looked at him in surprise.
"Your safety," he said in a deep voice.
"I'm very safe…." She was confused. However, after the words ca out of her mouth, she realized she didn't sound very persuasive. Aside from the fact that she was attacked, it seed that Simon didn't plan to leave the country anyti soon, and as long as he was around, she could be abducted at any ti.
"Well, do you want to stay at Denmark Residence all the ti?" She dropped her eyes. "Okay, I can do that."
"You wouldn't be happy even if I made you do that, would you? Hazel, I know I can't lock you up." He sighed quietly. Sothing bad could happen even under his protection, he had to co up with another way.
"What do you want to do?" she asked in surprise.
Before Joshua could answer, Jas Howard entered the living room with a cold face.
"Joshua, why did you want to see ?" he said impatiently. "You know I don't want to see you."
"Simon King is in Country Z now," Joshua said with a serious tone.
Jas's face changed slightly.
"His target is Hazel," Joshua continued.
"How can that be?" Jas's face was full of shock.
"He once abducted Hazel in Country F, and I had to rescue Hazel from the middle sea. You must be aware that he always behaves oddly and unpredictably," Joshua said. "I can't think of another reason for him to co to Country Z except for Hazel."
"Wait, I'm a bit puzzled right now." Hazel looked at Jas in surprise. "Do you know Simon King?"
