Chapter 576: Graduation Celebration
Joshua frowned slightly. He looked at Hazel with a bit of confusion.
The monitor was not bad, but also very capable. Moreover, she was willing to give him a chance to communicate with Joshua.
Hazel looked at Joshua and calmly said, “I’ll go in first.”
The monitor gave her a grateful look. She nodded at him, then pushed open the door of the private room where the reunion was held and calmly walked in.
The monitor booked a luxury private room. After graduation, many students parted with one another. There were only 20 students present today, a few of them were from other classes.
“Hazel, here!” Ariel waved at her. She was happy seeing Hazel join the celebration today. Recently, they rarely communicate with each other as they're busy with so many things.
The entire room fell silent at the sound of Hazel’s name, and a few malicious eyes fell upon her instantly.
Hazel directly ignored the eyes and gracefully walked to Ariel.
“Oh, you come here today. What a big surprise you spent time with this celebration?” Derek looked at her. Although Hazel satirized him that day, he couldn’t help imagining the scene where he was with Hazel again.
“How can you say that,” said Ariel, rolling her eyes at him angrily. “It isn’t you who hold the reunion, why can’t Hazel come? She's also one of the students in our university,”
“Oh, Derek, did you forget that Hazel’s identity is different now? She’s very rich now. Her attending the reunion gives us a face. We should be grateful to her for giving us such a chance to meet with her. How can you question her? Look, aren’t you dissed because you don’t fawn on her?
A voice dripping with sarcasm sounded. Hazel frowned. She followed the sound. It was Karla Lee, whom she had been on bad terms with before.
“You...!” Ariel was angry. Karla not only sneered at Hazel but also implied that Ariel was trying to curry favor with Hazel.
Hazel was speechless. She certainly did not forget Karla. When she went out with Ivan, Karla, who had a crush on him, set her up and accused her of stealing.
Later, Ivan was said to be engaged to Karla because of family pressure, but the couple broke off the engagement soon after, and Karla blamed Hazel for all this and said it was Hazel who damaged their relationship.
However, at the time, it was said that Hazel had an affair with Joshua. Compared to Joshua, Ivan was just a small potato, so few people believed Karla, and many people even sneered at her, thinking she wanted to become famous by saying that.
Hazel ignored Karla’s statement because it wasn’t a big deal, but she didn’t expect she would meet with Karla here.
Noticing Ariel was about to quarrel with Karla, Hazel grabbed Ariel by the arm and stopped her.
“Classmate, it seems you aren’t from our class?” Hazel said flatly.
“I was invited by your monitor himself!” Karla replied defiantly.
Hazel nodded calmly and spoke with an indifferent face, “So how are you going to curry favor with me?”
“What did you say?!” Karla’s face paled.
“Didn’t you say,” Hazel said, looking at her with a half-smile, “that my attending gave you face, you should be very grateful to me for giving you this opportunity to meet, so you had to curry favor with me, or you would be dissed?”
“You, you... !” Karla’s face was completely livid. She was so enraged that she glared at Hazel, speechless.
How could Hazel be so shameless as Hazel not only ignored the sarcasm in her words but also used them against her?
Ariel was amused. Hazel was really smart. But they didn’t need to go easy on this kind of woman like Karla.
“Yes, yes,” she echoed, “if you don’t hurry up, I’ll diss you!”
“You...!” Karla clenched her teeth. She was so furious that she was really dying to fall out with Hazel totally!
But if she did, how could these people in the room who were Hazel’s classmates take her side? Moreover, she had boasted to her family that she would make the monitor fall in love with her. If she did make a scene, she would not stand a chance.
“I... I was only joking.” Karla gritted her teeth and wore an innocent look.
Hazel was surprised. With Karla’s former temper, she would never stop fighting. But now she actually changed?
Either way, since Karla had admitted her mistake, Hazel thought there was no need for them to make a scene at the reunion.
“Well, well, you were all joking, we don’t have to take it seriously.” Derek hurried to mediate.
Noticing the atmosphere was a bit embarrassing, he quickly changed the subject. “Hazel, we haven’t met for a long time. Now you look better and much healthier than before.”
Hazel used to look skinny, but now she was ruddy and plump. Actually, Hazel’s belly was already obviously different. Although Derek had some guesses in his heart, he was reluctant to admit them.
“How can she not be healthy?” Karla gave out a sneer. She cared about Hazel so much that she had been paying attention to all the gossip about Hazel. “However, why do you look pregnant? Oh, Hazel, sorry, I’m just kidding.”
All the other classmates looked at Hazel in amazement, their eyes inquisitive.
Derek’s face changed slightly. He wanted to be with Hazel, but if she were pregnant with someone else’s baby, he would look down upon her.
He couldn’t help asking, “Hazel... are you really pregnant?”
Hazel noticed the slight disdain in his eyes. She gave him a sardonic look and then admitted openly, “Yeah, I’m pregnant.”
Derek’s face paled, and he looked at Hazel with a look of disgust. Of course, there was still greed in his eyes.
“Derek, you actually don’t know that?” Karla opened her mouth to ridicule despite herself. “As soon as she graduated, she was the President of Denmark Group. It’s said that their relationship was so good that Joshua Denmark even gave her Denmark Group!”
