Chasing The Fierce Heiress

It turned out to be Joshua who was breaking in?

Hazel looked at him in astonishment. She lived on the fifth floor. He climbed up to the balcony from the first floor?!

But the bitterness and anger seemed to burst, and she could not help cursing. “What are you doing here?!”

Joshua’s face changed slightly, and he leaned back against the wall. She was frightened and hurried to grab him by the wrist.

She looked down and saw there was only one rope tied to the balcony railing. There were no other safety precautions at all.

“Are you mad?!” she shouted angrily. “Do you want to die? This is the fifth floor! Why would you dare climb up like that?!”

A smile appeared on his lips, he seized the chance and held her in his arms. “You’re so worried about me, but why did you want to break up with me?”

She felt a little more victimized. “Who says I’m worried about you? I’m just afraid you’ll get me into trouble! If anything happens to you here, people will think I murdered you!”

This little dishonest girl!

Joshua hugged her tenderly. He sighed helplessly. “Hazel, whatever you’ve misunderstood, at least give me a chance to explain. Even criminals on death row can defend themselves. It is very unfair to me if you sentence me to death by hearing one side.”

She stiffened as she tried to break free from his arms, but Joshua was still standing outside the balcony, and if she struggled too much, he might fall.

“Come in first,” she said reluctantly. “You’re not afraid to be seen?!”

Joshua climbed over the balcony. He smiled lightly. “No one will see me.”

Hazel looked downstairs in surprise. The first floor of the dormitory building, which was normally busy, was now so empty, and there were no students around. Even the opposite dormitory building was dark as if there were no people at all.

“Where are they?” she asked bewilderedly.

“They all went to the class meeting,” Joshua said slowly.

“Oh?” She was utterly surprised. “Why didn’t anyone tell me?”

As she looked worried and seemed ready to go to the class meeting, Joshua quickly grabbed her hand. “You don’t have to go.”

“Who said so?” She threw him off impatiently.

“I said,” he whispered.

She was in a daze and suddenly understood what he meant.

Maybe the class meeting was orchestrated by Joshua. This rope must have been tied by Ariel on the balcony just now.

“What…” She looked at him in astonishment. “Why did you make such a big deal?”

“I almost lost my wife. How couldn’t I be worried?” He looked at her with hidden bitterness.

“Who is your wife?” she was angry. “Joshua Denmark, now that you are ready to be with Vanessa, why are you still bothering me? Is she ignoring you, and you want to use me to make her jealous once again?!”

“Hazel, why would you think that?” He felt quite helpless. He knew she was jealous, but the jealousy wasn’t logical.

“Joshua, don’t pretend! I already know all!” She angrily walked back to her dorm room and opened the door. “Get out, I’m not interested in being your woman on the side!”

Joshua’s face darkened. Then he came close to Hazel and closed the door behind her.

She was so irritated that she wanted to push him, but Joshua suddenly grabbed her by the wrist and pushed her against the door. “What do you know, Hazel? Who said you’re a spare? If you’re jealous of Vanessa, I can tell you for sure that I’ve never liked her. Not before, not after.”

“You… Let me go!” Hazel was extremely pissed. He was trying to deny this?

“No,” he said in a deep voice. “I will let you go when this whole misunderstanding is cleared up.”

She was angry and powerless, she had no choice, so she drew a deep breath and sneered. “If you don’t like her, why did you chase her before?”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“You mean when we were at school?” he asked.

“You did!” she was irritated.

“No.” He shook his head.

He said slowly, “Back then, Vanessa expressed her love for me. I was not interested, but it became a rumor that I was chasing Vanessa. She was only a young girl at that time, and I was afraid it would hurt her if I explained any more, so I just let others get the wrong impression.”

Hazel was startled.

How could this be?

She didn’t know whether she should believe Joshua, but given his character, it was indeed like something he would do.

“That’s just what you are saying…” She was angry. “And you were going to be engaged!”

“Who told you this?!” He was confused himself, it was no wonder Hazel did not believe him. “The Young family intended for me to marry their daughter, but neither my parents nor I ever agreed. You can ask Nanny Carter about it.”

Things were so chaotic that she did not know what to believe. Why was Joshua saying exactly a different version from what she had heard?

She bit her lip. “But apparently, you knew Vanessa was going abroad, so you ran the surrogacy competition. When she changed her mind and didn’t go abroad, you immediately stopped the surrogacy competition!”

Joshua gave her a flicker on the head. “Stupid girl, do you think if I made up my mind yesterday, I would be able to run the surrogacy competition tomorrow? I had already been thinking about running it for the last six months when Vanessa hadn’t even thought of going abroad.:

Hazel rubbed her head then she looked at Joshua questionably. Was that so?

“Besides,” his eyes grew deeper, “don’t you know why I stopped running the competition?”

Her heart skipped a beat. Joshua had told everyone he stopped running the surrogacy competition because he had met her.

Hazel just felt more confused. She asked bewilderedly, “Then why did you get her a job in a company? Didn’t you want to make her jealous?”

“What are you thinking, little girl?” Joshua frowned. “Her parents are the directors of the company and, of course, want their daughter to have a job there. The Young family also helped Denmark’s family at the beginning, so it’s not good if I don’t show them gratitude.”

“But…” Her face darkened a little.

“But what?” He looked at her with hidden bitterness, waiting for her next question.

“But you…” Taking a deep breath, she clutched her fingers tightly and whispered, “made love.”

He frowned. “Vanessa told you that?”

“If you were willing to touch her, that meant you had her in your heart, didn’t it?” She smiled mournfully. “Are you going to tell me you didn’t love her and touched her just because your body needed her…or was it just to make her happy?”
