Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Chapter 621: You’ve Got To Face The Reality



She had taken all sorts of evidence, but Hazel said only one word, ‘Fake’!

“Uncle King!” Cynthia looked at Ted, wounded.

“Joshua, what do you think of it?” Ted asked a subordinate to show the evidence to Joshua and said in a deep tone, “Look, the evidence doesn’t look fake.”

“Mr. King, what are you expecting?” Joshua simply flipped through the pages and dropped the folder on the coffee table with a poker face.

“Joshua,” said Ted, frowning. “You’ve got to face the reality.”

“Is it me or you who refuse to face reality?” A faint sneer crossed Joshua’s face. “Mr. King, do you dare tell me this is the first time you’ve seen the ‘evidence’?”

Ted’s heart sank. He couldn’t find the right words to say.

It was certainly not the first time he had seen it. Madeline had shown him most of the evidence before, so he wasn’t surprised when Cynthia said she had evidence.

“If you really wanted to know the truth, couldn’t you find out exactly who Hazel was by sending someone to Country Z to investigate?” There was a touch of coldness in Joshua’s eyes.

“But you never did that. Instead, you allow others to smear Hazel with this kind of completely fake dirt. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid to know that Hazel is a girl worth my life? Are you afraid to face the fact that you’ve been wrong all along?”

“Nonsense!” Ted’s face darkened. “I’m talking about Hazel Crowe!”

“And your decision?” Joshua asked quietly.

Ted was silent.

Neither he nor Cynthia expected that the so-called dirt and evidence would fail to work at all!

They had wanted Joshua to say the idea himself, but now it must be Ted who said it.

Ted said in a serious voice, “Joshua, I don’t have to believe the evidence, but Hazel has to get a paternity test to prove that the baby she’s carrying has the blood of the King family.”

A baby in the belly could also do the paternity test. Ted thought he was already very forgiving.

“We don’t need it,” said Joshua, his eyes full of coldness. “The baby belongs to the Denmark family, and of course, it has nothing to do with the King family!”

“Joshua Denmark!” Ted was very exasperated.

“Oh, you do know my last name,” said Joshua sarcastically.

“…” Ted’s face turned pale. He was clearly too angry to speak.

“Mr. King, I’d like to ask you a question,” Hazel said suddenly. “Please answer truthfully. I will also decide whether to do this paternity test according to your answer.”

“Hazel, don’t say yes,” whispered Joshua, frowning. The baby in Hazel’s belly was his. He would never doubt it and allow anyone to humiliate Hazel.

“I know what I shouldn’t do,” Hazel whispered.

“What do you want to ask?” Ted’s face was full of impatience.

“Over these days, the servants at the manor have been spreading rumors that the baby in my belly isn’t Joshua’s.” Hazel asked earnestly, looking calmly at Ted, “Have you been knowing that?”

After thinking for a while, Ted said, “Yes.”

He had heard the rumor when it began to spread. He didn’t add fuel to the fire, but he didn’t stop it either because he didn’t like Hazel. If there was a way to force Hazel to leave Joshua, Ted wouldn’t stop.

With a flash of disappointment in her eyes, Hazel calmly spoke, “Thank you for your honesty, Mr. King. I refuse the paternity test.”

“Huh?” Cynthia, who had been unable to cut in, was very excited. She began to taunt Hazel without any kindness. “I don’t think you dare do it, do you?”

Hazel ignored her sarcastic remarks.

“Mr. King,” she said lightly, “you never believe I’m pregnant with Joshua’s baby from the very beginning. So, even if I do take a paternity test, you would still think that Joshua and I deliberately fake the result, then why should we bother?”

It didn’t matter even if Ted hated her because Hazel never really cared about it. However, he actually doubted the baby in her belly, which made Hazel run out of patience.

“Hazel, you just don’t dare! You are clearly guilty!” Cynthia said eagerly.

Ted’s face hardened. He had to admit what Hazel had just said was exactly what he had been thinking. Now that Ted had doubts in his mind, even if Joshua did bring the results of the paternity test to Ted, Ted would still be a little incredulous.

However, he was embarrassed when Hazel spoke out his thoughts so bluntly. He was always a man of his word, but in the face of Joshua and Hazel, he always felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

“The paternity test must be done,” Ted said with displeasure. “If you don’t take it, you must leave!”

Cynthia’s eyes lit up. She was really looking forward to Hazel stubbornly saying no to Ted.

“… Alright,” Hazel heaved a sigh of relief. “We’ll pack up at once.”

Ted was slightly surprised. Was she actually ready to agree?

Cynthia was even happier. She stared eagerly at Joshua. “Master Denmark, do you hear that? The woman can’t defend herself at all, so she has no choice but to go away in dejection…”

“Isn’t that exactly what you want?” Joshua interrupted flatly.

“I just want you to know clearly who she is!” Cynthia said quickly.

“Don’t worry. I know her better than anyone else,” said Joshua coldly.

Cynthia was confused. What does Joshua mean?

She asked, putting out feelers, “Then… can I come here often?”

“Of course,” he said, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. “You can even live here if you like.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“Really?” Cynthia was so happy that her eyes brightened. She had lots of words to say to Joshua. Unfortunately, Joshua’s next word directly threw her straight into the abyss!

“Hazel and I are moving out anyway,” said Joshua lightly.

Hazel and Joshua had already planned to leave. It was the right timing at present.

In a flash, Cynthia’s smile froze! She couldn’t believe what she heard from Joshua.
