Chapter 992 - 280: Catch These Liars



"Let\'s go quickly." She helped Mandy stand up and said, "It\'s not safe to stay here. If those people realize what has happened, maybe they will come back."

Mandy nodded. Just as they were walking out of the door, they saw that the group had returned with more anger than before.

The lead man yelled angrily to his men, "Catch these liars!"

They started to rush toward them but suddenly, the elevator door not far away opened, and a group of people ran toward them. The group froze and waited for the impact of the large bodyguards to hit them; there was no time to move out of their way.

Hazel\'s eyes lit up, she was so surprised. The man who was leading the bodyguards was Joshua. She finally took a deep breath, and her uneasiness disappeared. The moment she saw Joshua standing there, she knew that she was safe.

The people who originally tried to attack Hazel scrambled to their feet and tried to get away, but naturally, Joshua was not going to let them escape. His bodyguards grabbed them and held them tightly.

Joshua walked over to Hazel and said with a scowl, "Hazel, how could you do such a dangerous thing all on your own?"

His remarks made her feel persecuted. She tried to defend herself, "Before I came, I was fully prepared! I told Jaxson if I didn\'t call him before ten o\'clock, these pre-arranged bodyguards would rush over here to save me!"

"Before ten o\'clock?" Joshua\'s face was even more ugly, "It\'s ten minutes to ten. If I was late, what could have happened in those ten minutes?"

Hazel was feeling more victimized. The reason for her protest was because she knew very well that Joshua was right, she did make a rash move without help. Hazel was annoyed. She snorted and looked elsewhere awkwardly.

Joshua sighed helplessly, then he reached out and held Hazel in his arms.

"Hazel, I was worried about you." He whispered in her ear, his voice with deep self-blame and uneasiness. "I was really afraid that if I came too late, what would happen to you..."

Hazel\'s heart feels heavy, but she was relieved. Joshua was blaming her because he was worried about her.

"I assure you, I\'m fine." Hazel smiled lightly, and her voice was softer. She asked, "By the way, why are you back so soon? Shouldn\'t you still be away for a few days on business? And, why couldn\'t I get through to you on the phone?"

"I lost my phone," Joshua explained as his eyes swept from Mandy to the waiter. "Let\'s go to the police station and pick up your mom first. We can talk about the rest on the way."

"You know everything..." Hazel said with some complaint. However, she knew that Joshua would not have lost contact with her for no reason.

"Yeah." He nodded.

Joshua held her hand, they walked downstairs and drove to the police station together.

"Why did you go to the hotel?" Joshua asked, frowning.

Hazel told him the reason, and she did not want to hide anything from him. No matter what kind of expectations Joshua had of the Flores family, she had no choice but to tell him the truth, even if it destroyed his illusion.

She had once hoped that Joshua and Flores\' family could reconcile, but she could see that the Flores family was too greedy. She could not bear the risk of bringing any harm, Joshua. It was time to let Joshua see it all and force him to face reality. If he still chose to stand by them, she would have nothing to say.

Hazel put her fingers in the pocket and touched a small thing. It was a small recording pen she had Jaxson prepare for her. She had recorded all the conversation between her and Henry in the hotel room.

She had planned to give the recording to Joshua, but she was hesitant. She wondered if even after Joshua knew everything they had done, what if he still chose to help them? She would not be able to handle that.

"Hazel, what are you thinking about?" Joshua looked at her with deep eyes.

Hazel had spent more time questioning the situations she dealt with independently, which meant she was still holding something back from him.

"Ah?" Hazel replied, "I was thinking, I truly didn\'t expect that the person who was behind the Flores family would be Susan. I did not think that she was calculating."

She still couldn\'t quite believe that Susan could pull off such a sophisticated plan. To be honest, Hazel knew she had only escaped from the situation at the hotel because Henry was an idiot, and the timing of Joshua\'s arrival was just right. She would have definitely suffered this time if the two factors did not happen at the right time.

"Susan is not that smart." Joshua\'s eyes got darker. "But what if someone helped her make a plan?"

"Sure enough." Hazel sighed. "Forget it. Why did you come back?"

"Someone cut off my connection with the Imperial Capital." Joshua said faintly, "I sensed trouble, so I came back. Then I contacted Jaxson, and he told me about your plan, so I went to the hotel first thing to pick you up. Just..."

Joshua looked at Hazel and said, "Why didn\'t you contact me earlier?"

If he had known that Rachel came earlier, he would\'ve certainly responded earlier. However, Hazel hadn\'t contacted him until the police arrested Rachel, which made him feel horrible. Was he not dependable enough for Hazel?

"I didn\'t want to bother you..." Hazel\'s eyes were dodging. She suddenly looked at Joshua and said, "Stay still!"

"Hmm?" Joshua raised his eyebrows in surprise.
