Chapter 1232 - 520: I’m Your Uncle
"Harry, Rachel, please help me, help Scott! We are also members of the Crowe family!" Noticing they were ready to leave, Matt completely panicked and constantly pleaded.
But it seemed Harry didn't hear it at all. He took Rachel to leave without looking back.
As they left, Matt immediately begged Hazel. He could see that however cruel Joshua was, he could be saved if Hazel put in a good word for him.
"Hazel, anyway, I'm your uncle. I held you when you were a kid! We are family!" Matt immediately shouted, "I was really forced. Mr. Lee forced me. Don't you remember the way he looked at you just now…"
Mr. Lee clenched his teeth angrily as Matt shifted the blame onto him again. He knew that Joshua would never let him go if he didn't make it clear.
"Master Denmark, if I had known Miss Crowe was your wife, I would have never dared touch her even if I was enticed! Having said that, it was indeed my fault as I shouldn't have looked at your wife in that way. I apologize now, Mrs. Denmark. I shouldn't have looked at you in that dirty way. I'm inferior to a pig! I am wrong!"
With that, Mr. Lee reached out to slap his own face hard by himself. After that, he repeatedly slapped, keeping apologizing and scolding himself. Soon, his face was so swollen that it looked like a pig's head.
Mr. Lee knew clearly that Joshua couldn't be unaware that he was involved in the incident due to Matt's family. But Joshua wouldn't let him go because he had just looked at Hazel lustfully. What Joshua wanted was a sincere apology. So Mr. Lee had no mercy on himself.
"Are you satisfied?" Joshua asked in a low voice.
"Kind of," Hazel replied. Mr. Lee only gave her a look. She felt sick, but now that he had been punished, she would just let him go.
"Let's go home, too. Don't keep mom and dad waiting," Hazel suggested.
The drama should come to an end now.
"Mmm." Joshua nodded in agreement. The next moment, he said quietly, "Mr. Lee?"
"Yes, yes…" Mr. Lee said almost obsequiously, "Master Denmark, I really know I'm wrong. Could you please tell me what to do?"
Joshua opened his mouth coldly. "How can I intervene in the dispute between you and them as an outsider? But since you and they are so close, shouldn't you be responsible for them?"
Mr. Lee was overjoyed! Joshua didn't speak directly, but he meant he would completely leave Matt's family at Mr. Lee's disposal!
He intended to teach them a lesson for making him provoke Joshua and do such an embarrassing thing!
In an instant, Matt and the others were very panic-stricken. They had seriously offended Mr. Lee. If they fell into his hands, how was it possible there would be a good ending for them?
"Hazel, please, I beg you. Help us..."
Ignoring the pleas, Joshua picked up Hazel, ready to leave.
Seeing they were about to leave, Fanny yelled at them with reluctance, "Hazel, didn't you say you would take me away? I've made up my mind. I'll go with you!"
Hazel was slightly stunned. But the next moment, she felt speechless. How did Fanny have the face to mention that?
Hazel gently tugged at Joshua's sleeve, beckoning him to stop.
Seeing this scene, Matt and Emma felt hopeful and couldn't resist swearing at Fanny, "You wench! How can you be so selfish? How can you think only of yourself! Even if you want to leave, you should ask her to take Scott away!"
Looking at the glow of expectations in Fanny's eyes, Hazel's eyes were cold.
"I did try to save you," she said coldly, "but you yourself cut off my hand that was reaching out to help you. Don't you remember that?"
Fanny's face turned as white as a sheet. "You, you can't go back on your word! You said you would give me time to think about it."
"Let's go," Hazel whispered. She had no sympathy for Fanny now. Now that Matt's family had provoked Mr. Lee, they had to suffer the consequences themselves.
Joshua carried her out of the room. They completely ignored Matt's family's crazy scream behind.
When Joshua and Hazel returned to the Crowe family's house, Rachel and Harry directly asked Joshua to go to the study.
Hazel was curious about what they would talk about. She was about to eavesdrop when Ronald in the living room stopped her. "Hazel, come here."
Hazel reluctantly sat down next to him and looked up at him. "Brother, did you know Joshua's plan early on?"
Ronald brought Scott today, cooperating perfectly with Joshua. It was clear that the two of them had had a plan.
"After finding out what Matt's family was going to do, Joshua directly told me." Ronald nodded. "Joshua is a powerful guy, but it's easier for me to find people in City S as a local."
Of course, he didn't think Joshua couldn't find people. It was just that Ronald thought he was Hazel's elder brother and wanted to do something for his little sister.
Hazel blinked. "Brother, you don't seem… to hate Joshua anymore?"
Since she insisted on staying with Joshua, Ronald had become slightly alienated from her. It could even be said that he avoided her almost as much as he could.
"When did I ever hate him?" Ronald looked away, embarrassed.
His little sister, whom he had doted on for so many years, became someone else's woman. Besides, he was still a bachelor. Couldn't he refuse to watch Joshua's and Hazel's public display of love?
"Dear brother—" Hazel held his arm like a spoiled girl.
"Okay, okay." Ronald sighed helplessly. Faced with her, he could not say anything against his will. "I'm not blind. I can see he's very kind to you indeed. As long as he is good to you, I will not dislike him."
Although he felt uncomfortable about Joshua's existence, nothing was more important in his mind than Hazel's happiness. Joshua was willing to give Hazel anything that he owned. Moreover, he had done more for her than the Crowe family had done for her, so of course, Ronald didn't hate him anymore.
Hazel breathed a sigh of relief and could not help laughing.
Now, her family, whom she cared about, finally accepted Joshua. She was really very happy about this.
"You girl..." Ronald rubbed her hair helplessly. Hazel was biased toward Joshua now, and her whole heart was on Joshua.
"By the way, what are they talking about in there?" Hazel asked curiously.
