Chasing The Fierce Heiress

No sooner had Joshua spoken than he heard the footsteps of the crowd.

Jaxson and Joshua turned to see Garry and Mabel Young, along with numerous reports rushing towards them.

“Joshua! Where’s my daughter? Return my daughter to me!” Garry cried fiercely. He lunged at Joshua, but before he could get too close, he was stopped by a group of bodyguards.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Isaac pulled into the parking garage at the hospital. Hazel got out of the car, she felt a chill and sneezed.

Isaac took off his coat and handed it to her. “Put it on.”

Hazel looked down as she put the jacket on, there were many bruises on her arms because of the stones.

“Let’s go.” He took her arm and walked into the hospital.

As the elevator reached the floor Vanessa was on, they heard a commotion in the corridor. They looked at each other with confusion and walked to see what was happening.

Joshua was standing at the door of the ward, surrounded by a crowd of reporters.

Vanessa’s mother, who was struggling to push away the bodyguard who stood in front of her, said, “Joshua, why don’t you let me see my daughter? She’s pregnant with your baby. Is it because you don’t want that baby that you want to hurt her deliberately?”

“Mrs. Young, it is the doctor that doesn’t allow you to see your daughter. Rest assured, I will take care of her until she recovers. I promise you I will keep her and her baby safe,” Joshua said calmly, without a trace of anger in his words.

“Mr. Denmark, so Miss Young is really pregnant with your baby?”

“Are you really not going to recognize this baby?”

“Why don’t you let Miss Young’s parents visit her?”

The reporters all asked at once.

Jaxson went up to them and explained, “Please go away for now. We’ll talk about the specific information later on.”

The reporters were unwilling to leave, each of them was yelling questions and accusations, refusing to give up.

When Hazel saw the situation, she looked at Isaac in a daze and said, “Let’s go. He won’t be able to see us now.”

“Ok,” Isaac frowned and agreed. There were so many reporters there and what had happened was not that simple.

Before they could leave, a sharp-eyed reporter spotted Hazel. His eyes lit up, and he ran in Hazel’s direction. “Miss Crowe! I heard Miss Young was shoved into the water by you. Is that true…”

Hearing his shout, the other reporters also rushed to Hazel and Isaac.

The expression on Joshua’s face changed as a surge of anger went through his body. How could Isaac bring her here at this point?

She was startled, Isaac hurried back to the elevator with her. However, the elevator didn’t, so they ran to go down the stairs, but they were immediately surrounded by the reporters.

“What are you doing?!” Isaac walked up angrily to protect Hazel.

“Miss Crowe, didn’t you refuse to be Mr. Denmark’s girlfriend? Why are you still with him now?”

“What’s your relationship with him? Are you his mistress now?”

“Did you really shove Miss Young into the water? Did you do that because she was pregnant with Mr. Denmark’s baby?”

“And what’s your relationship with Mr. Anderson? Are you a two-timer?”

The questions were so overwhelming, and each one could put her at risk. Hazel could not answer.

Dazed, she leaned against the wall behind her and didn’t know what to do.

“Make way!” Mabel pushed her way through the crowd angrily.

As soon as the reporters saw that there would be a drama, they swiftly stepped aside.

“You wicked woman! Mistress! How could you have the nerve to come here?!” Mabel raised her hand angrily. “I’m going to kill you today! I want you to pay for my daughter!”

The reporters revealed and waited, but before Mabel’s hand fell, Joshua snapped her wrist.

“Let go! Joshua, this woman is going to kill your baby. Why are you protecting her?!” Garry also approached and asked in an angry, vicious tone.

The reporters had already started taking pictures and video.

“Why are you talking nonsense?!” Isaac yelled, annoyed.

“Isaac, get Hazel home,” Joshua said in a deep voice.

“What?!” Isaac looked at him incredulously. “Joshua, they mistreated Hazel like this. Why don’t you explain it?!”

“Get her home!” Joshua’s voice was a little severe.

Now, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. He couldn’t get Hazel involved.

Hazel’s face was pale. She came to see Joshua, but he said nothing and explained nothing. He was unwilling to say a word for her, even when others doubted her.

“Isaac, let’s go…” she whispered, clutching at the coat tightly.

“Joshua Denmark!” Isaac yelled at him angrily, “What do you mean?! Is Vanessa really pregnant with your baby? Do you know what Hazel has just gone through? But you’re actually spending time with another woman at this point…”

“Stop!” Hazel bit her lip gently, then said desperately. “Let’s go.”

“… Alright.” Isaac helplessly agreed and glared at Joshua angrily when he looked back. “Joshua, you’ll regret it!”

When the elevator opened, Isaac took Hazel into the elevator.

The reporters tried to catch up with them, but the bodyguards surrounded the elevator for them to leave safely. A reporter tried to chase them by going down the security stairs, but the bodyguards caught him.

Joshua’s heart sank.

When Hazel left, she looked so forlorn and helpless.

Did something happen to her? Or did she really get him wrong?

But he couldn’t leave now.

Vanessa would find a chance to have her fetus removed at any moment. He had to keep a close eye on her.

Furthermore, it was not enough to just have a DNA test again. He had to have stronger evidence. He had to be by Vanessa’s side before anyone could guess exactly what he was doing. He had to hurry.

Leaving the reporters to gossip, Joshua returned to the ward.

The Young family and the reporters had been kept out, and Vanessa, who had been sedated, was passed out at present.

“Jaxson, how’s it going?” Joshua asked in a deep voice.

“President, we’re still looking into it,” Jaxson whispered. “All we know is that this man does not live in the same building as Vanessa. Very likely, he was an intruder. It’s hard to trace…”

“If he was an intruder, he certainly didn’t come around just once. He had at least scouted there,” Joshua said, his eyes narrowing. “Check the monitor from the day before, and surely something will be found.”

Jaxson said hurriedly, “I’ll tell them now…”

“No, Jaxson, do it yourself,” Joshua said in a deep voice.
