Chasing The Fierce Heiress

When Hazel got out, she saw that they were at a villa located halfway up a hill. A bus had stopped beside the villa. It was obvious that others had arrived earlier than they had.

Ivan helped Hazel with her luggage; they walked toward the villa and pressed the doorbell when they reached the gate.

The door opened, and they heard a voice before they saw anyone, “Ivan, is that you?”

A well-dressed girl appeared behind the door. Hazel could not help raising her eyebrows at the sight of the girl.

She froze when she saw Hazel. The girl who opened the door was no other than Karla Lee, who said Hazel was a wine whore.

Hazel was a little anxious when she saw the look Karla had when she looked toward Ivan.

She now understood why Karla always aimed at her. She thought before that it was because Karla was a friend of Kyla Lee. Now it seemed that Ivan was the reason.

“Karla, has everyone arrived?” Ivan asked her.

“Yes. Uncle and the rest are cleaning up the rooms now.” Karla replied happily.

“I have already cleaned yours. You can even see a lake outside when you open the windows. Do you want to have a look now?”

“Thanks, Karla. But please give the room to Hazel. I will select one for myself.”

Karla suddenly changed her attitude and turned to Hazel with a cold look.

Hazel was left speechless. She did not want that hatred for no reason.

“Do you have an empty room?” Hazel asked her. “I don’t care for a room from where I can see a lake.”

“Of course, the basement. Would you like that one?” Karla sneered.

“Karla!” Ivan interrupted her.

Karla made a cold groan and left angrily.

“Sorry, Hazel. She is the niece of my tutor. She told her uncle that she had to come. Her family spoils her a lot. Hope you can understand.” Ivan explained to her. Then he asked her as if he thought of something, “She was in the same college as you, do you know her?”

“Just met once,” Hazel replied casually.

“Okay,” Ivan said. He took Hazel to the second floor. After greeting others, he took her to select a room, “there are two empty rooms left, you can choose one.”

Hazel pointed at one of them casually, Ivan put her luggage inside the door for her. His room was at the opposite end.

“Need me to help clean up?” Asked Ivan.

“No, thanks.” Hazel refused him with a smile. “I can do it myself.”

After Ivan left, Hazel began to tidy the room. The room was small but clean, so it did not take her long to finish.

When she was done, she let out a sigh of relief.

She would not come if she knew Karla was going to be there too. It was torture to live with someone she did not like.

However, since she was here already, it would be impolite to leave. Therefore, she had to stay.

Not long after he left, Ivan knocked at the door and brought her to meet his tutor and classmates.

There were seven people in total, including her and Ivan. Ivan’s three classmates were two boys and a girl, and all seemed to be very nice.

After spending the day exploring, they gathered for a barbecue in the evening. Ivan’s two male classmates were dead drunk, and he helped them back to their room one by one.

When he walked out of his classmate’s room, he saw Karla was outside the room.

“Karla, why are you standing there?” Ivan asked her.

“I saw you have also had a lot of wine tonight. I have prepared you some tea which will make you feel better.” Karla said to him in a shy voice.

“Thank you, Karla.” Ivan took the cup.

“I noticed that Hazel was also exhausted today. Here is a cup of milk that can help her sleep. Can you give it to her for me?” Karla was a little uncomfortable, “and please do not tell her that it is from me.”

“Why?” He was surprised.

“There was some misunderstanding between us before.” Karla lowered her head. “But after talking to her, I think she is nice. You know what I am like. It is awkward for me to show kindness. You are her good friend, so I want you to help me…”

“Okay. I see.” Ivan nodded and took the milk.

Looking at his back, Karla smiled a meaningful smile.

Ivan went to his room and put the tea on the desk. Then he went to knock on the door of Hazel’s room.

Hazel was surprised to see him. “What’s up, Ivan?”

She let him in. Ivan put the warm milk on her desk. “Hazel, you seemed tired today.”

“Ah?” Hazel was indeed in a low mood today. Though she was polite to the others, she still had the thoughts of Joshua drifting in and out of her head.

“Hazel, you are free to tell me your troubles if you’d like,” Ivan said to her.

Hazel was hesitant.

Though she was closer to Ivan than to other male friends, she regarded him as a tutor to her with whom she had a good relationship. However, when it came to love emotions, she would rather tell her female friends.

“Maybe it’s because I’m not accustomed to this place.” She smiled.

Ivan nodded his head and said, “Then drink the milk and have a good sleep. Good night.”

“Good night.” She closed the windows and the door. Then she took her phone but still did not power it on.

She thought about turning it on but decided not to and fell asleep soon after drinking her milk.

She had slept a long time, and the room was full of sunshine when she woke up.

She got up and saw the time from the clock from the wall. It was already 10:30 a. m.

How could this have happened?

Hazel rubbed her temples. She was a little dizzy.

She did not go to bed late last night, and she was always up early. Why did she sleep so late today?

What’s more, they had made an appointment to go out together at 8:00 a. m. Were they still waiting for her?Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Hazel quickly washed her face and walked out of her room. But there was no one, not even Ivan.

Had they all gone?

Hazel went downstairs, still in a daze, and saw Karla.

“You finally woke up,” Karla said to her with a cold, gloomy voice. “Ivan tried to wake you but was unable to. They went to the village on the mountain to sing folk songs before it got too late.”
