Chasing The Fierce Heiress

“Hazel, just tell me what happened to you and Joshua Denmark!” Ariel said pitifully, rising from her bed the next morning.

“You’ve tormented me all night. Aren’t you tired?” Hazel was helpless.

“Denmark Group suspended the Surrogacy Competition!” cried Summer, sitting in front of the computer.

“What?” Ariel hurried over to her side.

The news exploded like a bombshell on the Internet, and everyone was wondering why it was suspended.

Suddenly, Ariel and Summer turned their heads to look at Hazel with weird eyes. “Tell us! What is exactly going on?”

“How could I know?” Hazel said with a face full of mystery. “You don’t think he has fallen in love with me after we had a single meal?”

It was supposed to be a joke, but Hazel found that they looked at her with more approval.

“Most likely!” They nodded.

“No, I was kidding!” Hazel was extremely embarrassed.

“It’s a bit unreal to me,” said Ariel, “but what if it’s true? You don’t get it. You don’t even know if he likes you.”

“Go ahead.” Hazel’s mouth twitched. “I’m leaving.”

“The library again?” Summer asked.

Hazel nodded.

“Why are you working so hard?” Ariel couldn’t help muttering as she walked to the bathroom.

“I want to be a postgraduate,” Hazel replied.

“You’re awesome,” Ariel mumbled as she brushed her teeth. “I’ll never go to school again.”

“Do you think Hazel is as unambitious as you are?” Summer laughed and scolded her.

Suddenly she grabbed Hazel’s arm. “Hazel, look, the guy in the journalism department, who has posted a post insulting you, posted an apology.”

“Haha, this boy becomes a wuss so quickly? I don’t think he really wants to apologize. He’s just afraid Hazel will sue him,” Ariel shouted in the bathroom.

Hazel leaned over and briefly scanned the computer screen. “Whether he is sincere or not, this post is written honestly. At least it can be called an apology.”

“Eh? Do you know of someone apologizing and not being sincere?” asked Summer curiously. “Come on, tell me the whole story.”

Hazel told them in a nutshell about running into Derek yesterday.

“Damn it!” Summer and Ariel couldn’t help but curse. “They’re a bastard and a bitch! When they do something wrong themselves, they still blame others! Hazel, I support you to sue her!”

“What!, sue her?” Hazel didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “It’s just to shut her up for two days, enough to scare her. Who’s going to pay for a lawyer to take her court? Can you help me find a good lawyer?”

No sooner had she spoken than her cell phone rang.

It was a strange phone number, but she felt like she had seen it before for some reason. She hesitated a bit and pressed the answer button. “Who is this?”

“It’s Joshua.” Joshua cocked his brows slightly. “Didn’t you save my number?”

Joshua Denmark?!

Ariel and Summer were instantly stupefied and ran to her side to eavesdrop.

“Why are you calling me?!” Hazel was shy and anxious.

It felt as if her phone suddenly got hot, and she was dying to throw it away!

“Didn’t we agree yesterday,” Joshua said quietly, “that I would hire the best lawyer for you? I’ve made an appointment for you to meet with one. Let’s have lunch at noon, and you can meet…”

Hire a lawyer? Hazel was stunned. She thought Joshua was only joking yesterday.

“Who said I was going to hire a lawyer?” Hazel became more anxious. “I won’t go…”

Before she finished, Ariel grabbed her phone directly.

“All right! Mr. Denmark, rest assured, we will definitely get Hazel to go even if it means us tying her up and dragging her there!” Ariel groveled over the phone. “But, can Hazel please bring her family?”

“What the hell did you promise? Give me my phone back!” Hazel reached for it.

Ariel quickly handed the phone to Summer. “Catch it!”

Joshua was slightly stunned to hear the sudden chaos over the phone. At the next moment, a smile slightly curved his lips. “Okay. I’ll pick you up at noon.”

“Ah! You are great!” There was a cheer on the other end of the phone, and someone hung it up.

Joshua smiled. He had been worried Hazel wouldn’t keep the appointment, but that wasn’t an issue now.

Jaxson opened the door of the President’s office and was flabbergasted despite himself.

Was he right? Joshua actually laughed? And his smile was more heartwarming than ever.

“What is it?” Joshua held back his smile a little.

“President,” Jaxson hurriedly came to his senses, “Mr. Anderson ordered balloons and flowers and had a man make a large banner, which seems to be for Miss Crowe.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Joshua’s eyes darkened slightly.

He knew Isaac wouldn’t stop after he had played the practical joke on him yesterday. Did this guy actually want to chase Hazel, though?

“Jaxson, help me with something,” Joshua said in a deep tone.

In the dorm, Ariel and Summer had stopped pressing Hazel about Joshua.

However, the two of them nervously help Hazel find something to wear.

Hazel struggled helplessly. “I said I didn’t want to go…”

“Who cares?” Ariel rolled her eyes. “You know, your job is to act as a distraction and let the hunk pay attention to Summer and me!”

“Then why are you dressing me up?” Hazel was speechless.

“What if the Prince thinks we are narrow-minded women for not helping you to look beautiful?” Summer picked out a sexy black slip dress from her wardrobe and threw it toward Hazel. “Change into this!”

“I don’t want it!” Hazel shook out the dress and exclaimed, “It’s too revealing!”

“You must wear it!” Ariel made a threatening gesture. “If you don’t change on your own, Summer and I will help you!”

“Go ahead!” Hazel stood up, angry and ashamed.

Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the girls’ dormitory building.

“What happened?” asked Summer blankly.

Ariel had already run to the balcony, and she couldn’t help exclaiming, “Hazel, Summer, come and see! Is that man our Prince Charming?”

Hazel’s heart sank. What? Did Joshua come over that fast?

She and Summer also came to the balcony, where they saw a red Lamborghini parked under the dormitory building.
