Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Joshua’s eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were indifferent. “Susan wants to stay here to further her career, and you would be going back?”

“I am used to living abroad, and the business in Country D cannot be done well without me for the time being. But Susan always wanted to come back to her hometown.”

Sunny shook her head and continued, “However, Susan has her heart set on the entertainment circle. But you also know the circle is extremely messy, and I’m afraid she’ll suffer, so I hope you can protect her.”

Joshua still wore an indifferent expression. Sunny’s request was not too much, but his reaction was not very pleasant.

“Mom, I don’t think my cousin is willing at all,” said Susan unhappily. “He didn’t even give me a hug. Do you expect him to take care of me? Besides, it’s not my first day in showbiz. Who would do anything to me?”

“It used to be because your father and I have taken you under our wing,” Sunny said with displeasure. “Joshua didn’t hug you because he has a girlfriend. Of course, he needs to avoid suspicion.”

“Does my cousin have a girlfriend?” Susan asked in shock.

“Was the one with you today your girlfriend?” Sunny looked at Joshua.

“Yes.” Joshua looked a bit deeper. Sunny had met Hazel, and they talked little.

“I saw her once at the flower shop,” Sunny said as she gave Joshua a meaningful look. “She seems like a nice kid.”

“Yes,” Joshua said quietly, “so I took her to see my parents.”

The meaning of what he said was obvious. Sunny was okay, but Susan’s face looked very unsightly.

“Cousin, what does your girlfriend look like? What is she like?” Susan kept saying, “You’ve got to be careful. I think the women who get close to you are all aiming for your money…”

“Never mind,” Joshua interrupted calmly. “I have plenty of money.”

Susan was choked and unable to speak. She looked at Sunny with anger. Didn’t Sunny say Hazel was very kind and good-natured? Why did he look so bad now?

“Susan! Your cousin can handle his relationship. He doesn’t need you to worry about it!” Sunny glared at Susan, and she saw that Joshua had a soft spot for his girlfriend.

Susan let out a “hmph,” her eyes flashing with resentment.

“Joshua, Susan has been spoiled by us since she was a child, so she has a quick tongue. But she’s not a bad girl. Please don’t mind her,” Sunny said.

Joshua didn’t think Susan had a quick tongue.

“Aunt Sunny, if Miss Edwards wants to settle down at the imperial capital, I’d be happy to help,” Joshua said quietly. “However, the Denmark family did not get involved in the entertainment industry. I’m afraid that I can’t help.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Susan’s face looked even more unsightly. Joshua didn’t want to help.

She was about to lose her temper, but Sunny was the first to say, “Joshua, don’t worry, I’ll handle the business in Country D soon, and I’ll come to discipline her myself. You don’t have to do anything for her. You just have to keep her from being taken advantage of.”

Sunny had already said so, if he refused, it would be inhuman.

“Aunt Sunny, no one would dare to bully your daughter,” Joshua said quietly. “I wouldn’t stand by if that were the case.”

“I’ll thank you first.” Sunny smiled.

“Cousin, you agreed? Great!” Susan said happily, “I’ll go upstairs and get a room…”

Joshua frowns with displeasure. He didn’t seem to say anything to get Susan to move in.

“There’s a sea view villa in Denmark Group,” Joshua quietly interrupted. “It should be nice of you to live there.”

The smile on Susan’s face suddenly froze. She didn’t expect that Joshua would be so inconsiderate and so disrespectful to her.

“Mom!” Susan looked at Sunny angrily.

“At your cousin’s disposal,” said Sunny quietly, and Susan let out a snort of anger.

Sunny had a brief chat with Joshua and left with Susan.

After they got in the car, Susan couldn’t help complaining. “Mom, what a terrible person my cousin is, I’m his cousin, why can’t he accommodate me and take care of me? It looks like he doesn’t want to be close to us. How could he?!”

“Does he owe you anything?”

Susan let out a “hmph” and said in a deep tone, “I’ve met Joshua a few times, and I know him pretty well. He has a detached personality, not close to anyone. Don’t think of him as one of those pursuers who keep after you all day. Your identity as a cousin is nothing different to him than that of a stranger. You can only obey him if you want to stand beside him!”

“All right, I get it.” Susan curled her lip, but she didn’t take it seriously.

When Ariel and Summer returned to their dorm room and saw Hazel, they, with surprise, “Didn’t you go out on a date with Charming Prince?”

“It rained, so we came back.” Hazel also looked at them in wonder. “Didn’t you go to the movies? Why are you back so early?”

“Don’t mention it, we watched a big-scale, embarrassing piece of crap!”

Ariel couldn’t help but a joke, “What big scene? What big production? The hype was so awesome before it was released. But the leading actress’s acting was so awful and embarrassing that we couldn’t stand it! Besides, the story is dramatic and very unappealing. Summer and I put up with it for twenty minutes. When we couldn’t stand it any longer, we came directly home and considered it as a lesson learned.”

“Isn’t that a little exaggerated?” Hazel laughed despite herself.

“No,” Summer said with a sigh of relief. “When we left, the people in the cinema were empty, but it was the premiere today.”

“Where do you think the director found the actress?” Ariel kept complaining, “Her appearance is at least B-list in the entertainment industry, and her acting skills are not good enough. I went for the leading actor, but the idol cannot make me stay!”

“It seemed to be said she grew up in Country D,” Summer said, surfing on the Internet with her phone.

“It’s these people who are ruining the domestic film market!” Ariel said as if she was concerned about the country and the people.

“Who are you talking about?” Hazel was curious.

“She’s a newcomer to the entertainment industry, called Luna, whose real name is Susan Edwards,” Summer said.

“I’ve never heard of her.” Hazel shook her head.

“Someone on the Internet said that her backer is Denmark Group, that she was Joshua’s person!” Summer spoke in surprise. “Isn’t that ridiculous?”
