Chapter 619: I’m Not Easy To Bully
She only felt jealousy. Joshua had never seriously looked at her since he entered the room. Besides, even when he glanced at her, his eyes were cold, disgusted, and defensive.
How could he look at her like that? Cynthia felt sad in her heart.
“Rest assured, I’m not easy to bully.” Hazel smiled.
Joshua looked a little relaxed. He turned his head around to look at Cynthia, with alienation and indifference in his eyes. “Miss Bryant, my wife needs rest. Please leave.”
Cynthia felt her heart was broken into the glass. Joshua actually drove her away for Hazel Crowe!
She took a deep breath to comfort herself constantly. It didn’t matter. Joshua just didn’t remember meeting her, so he treated her badly.
Cynthia opened her mouth affectionately, “Joshua King...”
“Sorry, my last name is Denmark.” Joshua corrected her calmly. “Besides, Miss Bryant, I think you need to know something. I don’t think of your Uncle King as a father.”
Cynthia’s face turned pale instantly. Joshua wasn’t just correcting her. He was also telling her that he wouldn’t listen to Ted. Even if Ted promised her something, Joshua wouldn’t cooperate.
“Alright, Joshua Denmark...” Cynthia was reluctant but submissively corrected herself.
She looked at Joshua obsessively, like a shy little girl, and said, “You may have forgotten me, but we share a deeper connection. We had a very romantic encounter two years ago.”
Hazel froze and looked at Joshua in surprise, but he frowned slightly and looked blank.
Hazel was surprised, not only because of what Cynthia said but also because of the language Cynthia spoke in.
In an instant, Hazel was speechless. Did Cynthia think she couldn’t understand the language of Country M?
“Miss Bryant, is it really good for you to seduce my husband in front of me?” Hazel asked in the language of Country Z with a calm expression.
Displeasure flashed across Cynthia’s face. Then she said with some pride, “Miss Crowe, you don’t understand the language of Country M, do you? You got me wrong. I was just talking to Mr. Denmark about work.”
Hazel was really speechless. Cynthia firmly believed that Hazel didn’t understand, so Cynthia deliberately lied to deceive her, belittle her in front of Joshua, and show him that Hazel couldn’t even speak in the language of Country M.
Having said that, Cynthia was really capable as she was able to remain calm while telling a lie.
“I’m sorry to disappoint you,” Hazel asked, frowning. “I really don’t understand how the romantic encounter between you and my husband has anything to do with work.”
Cynthia’s face turned paler instantly. Now she was very embarrassed! Hazel actually understood her language. The point was that it made Cynthia appear arrogant and ignorant in front of Joshua.
This was a trap that Cynthia deliberately set for Hazel, but Cynthia actually walked into it herself!
“Miss Bryant, don’t be embarrassed,” Hazel said with a half-smile. “What happened during your encounter? I’m really very interested.”
Cynthia’s face flushed with shame and anger.
She had already lost face. Hazel was her love rival, but Hazel actually wanted Cynthia to speak out her secret thoughts. Cynthia was not stupid. How could Cynthia possibly do that to make her rival laugh at her?!
Cynthia’s shame and anger turned into hatred for Hazel!
“Joshua, don’t be fooled by Hazel Crowe! I have evidence that she is with you for your money!” Cynthia clenched her teeth. “Even just now, she asked me directly how much I could offer to make her leave you!”
Joshua raised his eyebrows as he looked at Hazel. “How much?”
“I’m a little shy about saying it….” Hazel looked embarrassed as she really thought it was a joke when Cynthia offered 50 million dollars.
“You!” Cynthia was ashamed and angry. Why didn’t Joshua care? Besides, he actually didn’t even want to blame Hazel?!
She said angrily. “The problem isn’t how much I offer. Joshua, don’t you understand? Hazel’s attitude is that she won’t hesitate to give you up if I give her a good offer!”
“You are shy of saying it, but she isn’t shy of speaking it out,” Joshua said to Hazel lightly.
Hazel explained with a chuckle, “I thought maybe Miss Bryant was just kidding me because she only offered 50 million dollars.”
Joshua was a little speechless and then asked in surprise, “Has the Bryant family been reduced to this extent?”
Their nonchalant attitude nearly made Cynthia cry.
She had originally lost her whole heart to Joshua, but Joshua did not take her seriously. He even directly questioned her and humiliated their family! Why couldn’t he care about her feelings?
Suddenly, Cynthia’s gaze fell on Hazel, and the hatred in her eyes grew deeper! Joshua wouldn’t have treated her like that if Hazel hadn’t lured him! She and Joshua shared a deep connection and were predestined to be together!
“Joshua, I’m telling you something serious!” Cynthia clenched her teeth in anger.
“Sorry, I’m not interested,” Joshua said quietly.
“You, you…” Cynthia froze. She came to West House today because she had enough evidence to unmask Hazel in front of Joshua. But Joshua actually said he wasn’t interested?
Cynthia suddenly felt as if she had been hit by a staggering blow, and she was utterly stunned.
“Miss Bryant,” said Joshua, with a look of displeasure, “I’m going to accompany my wife for a prenatal exam. Please leave.”
Prenatal exam? Cynthia was even angrier. “Joshua, do you know that Hazel’s baby isn’t yours?”
Hazel’s fingers tightened. Joshua’s face was horribly sullen!
The next moment, Hazel rushed forward, asking in a cold voice, “Is it you who spread the rumor in the manor?”
“If you didn’t want people to know what you did, don’t do it. Since you did that, do I need to spread it? Perhaps everyone in the manor knows more about it than I do!” Cynthia gloated.
Hazel’s face was grave. Cynthia didn’t have to lie, but if it was not Cynthia who spread the rumor, it must be someone else who hid in the dark and wanted to make things difficult for Hazel.
“Why did you keep it from me?” Joshua frowned slightly as he looked at Hazel.
