Chasing The Fierce Heiress

“I…” He was so overcome that he could not speak.

Joshua looked at her in astonishment, a brighter smile playing on his lips.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

When this little girl was provoked, she would suddenly become eloquent, or so as long as her bottom line wasn’t touched, she did not care too much.

When she was serious, she looked really charming.

“But… Hazel, you weren’t like this before.” Derek looked at her in complete shock. “It’s clear you were a gentle, kind, generous girl. Why did you completely change? Why do you have to make things difficult for Kyla?”

Hazel was furious.

She didn’t really want to sue Kyla, but at least she needed to teach her a lesson.

However, Kyla hadn’t even been at the police station for long when Derek couldn’t wait to denounce her as the actual victim.

By doing this, how would Kyla learn anything? His point was probably just to make her feel like her actions were justified.

“You’re wrong,” Hazel said, rolling her eyes. “I am a grumpy, vicious, small-minded person. Now, can you please stop pestering me?”

“Please move out of the way.” Joshua opened his mouth.

Derek’s heart was filled with jealousy. He became outraged. “Didn’t you hear her? Why are you still with such a woman?”

“No.” A smile curved Joshua’s lips. “I love her for being grumpy, vicious, and small-minded.”

Derek stood still, dumbstruck. Joshua wrapped his arm around Hazel, who appeared a little confused, and walked past him.

She could feel the heat of his hand on her shoulder. Hazel blushed slightly as she struggled to move away from Joshua’s hand.

“Knock it off! He’s still watching us,” Joshua spoke softly.

She stopped instantly, and she intuitively wanted to turn her head around to take a look.

Joshua continued, “Don’t look back. He’ll think he’s on your mind.”

That comment immediately halted her compulsion to look back.

But… why did she feel her face getting hotter and hotter as Joshua held her like that?

“That… you were just trying to help me out, weren’t you?” She asked with uncertainty.

His statement really flustered her that he liked her for being vicious and small-minded.

His eyes falling on her face, he said “yes” in a low voice.

Hazel was disgusted by him, and if he told her he really liked her, it would definitely scare her away.

“Good. Thank you.” Hazel was relieved.

Joshua’s eyes darkened.

Arriving at the school gate, she whispered, “Can… can you let me go now?”

“He’s still behind us,” Joshua said quietly.

“Derek’s still following us?” Hazel was more or less surprised. When did Derek become so fearless and dare to follow her?

“Yeah.” He nodded gravely.

She felt a twinge of doubt in the heart. She abruptly turned her head around. Where was Derek?

There was a tremendous surge of anger in her heart. She finally realized that it was clear Joshua had been trying to take advantage of her!

She pushed him away angrily. “You bastard! Liar! Who’s following us?”

Joshua withdrew his arm regretfully. “I was only guessing.”

“…” She was furious. Every time Joshua opened his mouth, he would leave her speechless.

“Don’t follow me again. It would help if you didn’t accompany me!” She yelled in anger and ran to the dormitory.

No sooner had she returned to the dormitory than her phone rang.

It was a strange phone number that she had never seen. She hesitated a bit before pressing the answer button.

“Back to the dorm?”

When Hazel heard the familiar voice, she was so dumbstruck that she almost threw the phone away.

“How did you get my number?” she asked angrily.

She regretted asking him. He was Joshua Denmark, and it was a piece of cake for him to get her phone number.

“You left your number in the preliminary selection,” Joshua explained.

Then he asked again, “Are you back?”

“Yes. What do you want?” She asked cautiously.

“Nothing. I’m relieved that you’re back safely. Keep my number so that you can contact me any time.” Joshua laughed. “I’ll leave. Goodbye.”

She was a little stunned. That’s all?

Suddenly, she thought of something and rushed to the balcony.

Standing on the balcony, she caught sight of Joshua downstairs.

He was really eye-catching, with a slender body and temperament, which made it very hard for people to take their eyes off. Even his back looked handsome. He was gorgeous, like in the picture.

Did Joshua just want to get her home and then phone to confirm she had arrived safely?

Her heart was filled with strange thoughts and emotions.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Ariel and Summer standing silently behind her. She screamed in terror.

“What are you doing? Why didn’t you say something?” Hazel put her hands on her chest.

“We did say something, didn’t we? You just came in, and we both said hi to you. You were in a hurry to answer the phone. You couldn’t hear us, and then you rushed to the balcony, like, like…” Ariel wondered what to say.

“It’s like you’re in love!” Summer concluded and asked curiously, “Hazel, do you had a boyfriend?”

Hazel was very embarrassed despite herself.

“Something is wrong. Hazel, didn’t you go to meet Mr. Denmark?” Ariel asked in surprise.

“Mr. Denmark? Which Mr. Denmark? Joshua Denmark?” Summer lost her cool instantaneously. “What’s going on? What did you two hide from me?”

It turned out that Ariel didn’t really tell Summer. Hazel ran out the door of the dorm while they were arguing. “Go ahead, I’m going to the library!”

“Hazel, come back and explain it!” Summer and Ariel chased her, but Hazel had disappeared quickly.

In the end, Hazel told Ariel and Summer she had had dinner with Joshua Denmark.

After all, they were in the same dorm, and she had nowhere to escape from their interrogation anyway.

However, no matter what details they asked, she would just say “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember” to get through it.

Evening, they both kept her up late asking questions, but they were unable to get anything out of her, which made both of them miserable and frustrated.
