Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Hazel froze when she saw them together, she was both panic-stricken and stunned.

When Vanessa called her, she did not believe her story at all, and even when she had asked Joshua for proof, it was because she was a little unsure, but then he answered honestly, so she believed him.

But now, she actually saw Vanessa leaning intimately on Joshua’s chest as if she were crying while Joshua patted her on the back as if he was comforting her. They looked like a couple who hadn’t seen each other for a long time while she was standing there like his mistress.

How could this be happening?

Joshua didn’t want her to pick him up because he was meeting Vanessa Young?

Hazel’s heart was filled with anger at being deceived. She took a deep breath and was walking toward them for an explanation when suddenly there was a man in front of her.

“Miss Crowe, can we talk?”

It was Kenny, she looked over at Joshua again, but Kenny said, “It isn’t right to bother them now, is it?”

Hazel looked down to the ground as her heart broke.

Kenny guided her out of the airport to a nearby corner. He hesitated for a bit before speaking, “Miss Crowe, it may not be right for me to say this, but I hope you will be the one to leave Joshua.”

Her eyes suddenly turned cold. “Did Joshua send you here?”

“No, that’s what I mean.” He heaved a sigh. “Joshua is a very kind man who places a high value on relationships. I think he just may not be able to say anything, but you shouldn’t be kept in the dark.”

She looked at him coldly.

He recalled. “Joshua chased Vanessa when he was in school. It was rumored that the two of them were engaged, but Vanessa refused to marry him. Then Joshua’s parents died, and the matter was never mentioned again. It appears that this is why Joshua never had any women around him.”

Hazel bit her lip hard. It suddenly occurred to her that she had asked Joshua if he had any relationship to deal with, and he had said there was none. However, even his friend came to tell her to leave him.

Kenny originally called her sister-in-law when they met only a few days ago, but now he was calling her Miss Crowe.

Even though she wanted to believe Joshua, she could not deny what was happening right in front of her eyes.

“So?” She took a deep breath. “That’s all over. I don’t care what happened to Joshua before he met me.”

“But Joshua has always had a special place for Vanessa.” He said. “Vanessa’s parents wanted to send her to study abroad, but Joshua suddenly ran the surrogacy competition. Later, Vanessa persuaded her parents to let her stay at home, and the surrogacy competition was suspended. Vanessa went to see Joshua, and I heard they talked, then suddenly your story went viral. Do you think it was all a coincidence?”

She just felt chilly all over. “You mean Joshua just used me to make Vanessa angry?”

Seeing her in despair, he relented a little.

“Joshua has always kept his thoughts to himself, and I thought at first that he did love you.” Kenny sighed. “It has only been two days since I found out that Joshua had arranged a job for Vanessa in Denmark Group, and they also…”

Looking at his hesitant expression, she felt somewhat frustrated.

“Have they made love?” she asked, with a hint of a sneer on her face.

“… Did you know that?” Kenny looked at her apologetically. “I didn’t want you to know that, but I’m afraid there was something Joshua couldn’t say. I don’t have to lie to you about that.”

“I see.” She turned around to leave, immediately getting into a taxi. Since she was the extra in the relationship, she felt she should leave first.

In the taxi, Hazel squeezed the gift box in her hand as hard as she possibly could. Her chest was aching from all of the emotions she was feeling.

Suddenly, her phone rang, and she answered the phone, confused.

“Hazel, it’s Thanksgiving Day today, and Joshua is on a business trip. Shall we spend it together?” On the other end of the line, Isaac said in a cynical tone.

“No.” She refused in a deep voice.

“You are actually refusing me so cruelly?” He wailed. “Don’t you think of me as your brother? Why are you still afraid I’ll bite you?”

“I’m not in the mood.” She looked out the window, feeling lonely.

“What happened?” he asked with sincerity in his voice.

She was silent for a while.

Isaac was Joshua’ friend, and so he should know about the situation, right?

“Isaac, can I ask you a few questions?”

“Ask as many questions as you like.”

Taking a deep breath, she squeezed the box in her hand. “Did Joshua chase Vanessa before?”

“Chase Vanessa?” He thought for a moment and said, “It seems it did happen when we were at school. It went viral all over the school, but Vanessa turned him down.”

It’s true, as expected. Her fingers grew cold.

As Kenny had said, she could prove it at any time, and he did not need to lie to her.

“Hazel, it’s been more than a decade. You don’t have to worry about it. He should have no interest in Vanessa,” he said positively.

Her eyes dimmed a little, and she then asked, “By the way, what does Vanessa do now?”

“She seemed to say she was going abroad some time ago, but then she changed her mind. I seem to have heard that she plans to work for Denmark Group…” He was stunned and said quickly, “Hazel, don’t think too much about it. Vanessa’s parents are directors of Denmark Group. Normally, they want their daughter to work in the Denmark Group.”

“And did the other directors do the same?” She cocked her eyebrows slightly.

“It’s rare, Joshua is very strict in this aspect,” he said. “But the Young family has always had a good relationship with the Denmark family. He may not want to disappoint the Young family.”

Her heart sank completely.

If she had any misconceptions before, she completely gave up now.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

No wonder Joshua asked her to be his secretary, it turned out he had also arranged a job for Vanessa in the Denmark Group.

She was just Joshua’s toy he played with just to make Vanessa angry. He chose Vanessa, and so she must step aside.

When a tear fell from her eye, Hazel quickly wiped the tear and resisted the urge to cry.

It was her who had been too naive.

Such a person did not deserve her tears.
