Hazel was annoyed at Joshua. If she went to ask, who would admit to her face that they misunderstood their relationship?
Joshua was a real trouble maker, so she just gave up. Fortunately, these people were just like what Joshua said, although they were curious, they would not gossip and question Hazel.
Joshua calmly greeted everyone and whispered to Hazel, "Let's go, we should go upstairs to meet the Professor."
Hazel nodded, but before they had to go upstairs, they heard a noise at the door.
They turned toward the door and saw Vanessa wearing a beautiful pink dress with a fair amount of her skin showing. She walked in with an arrogant smile and enjoyed all of the attention.
Hazel's eyebrows raised faintly at seeing Vanessa's display, she seemed to be completely charming. However, this was a party for Professor Watson, not her party, her dress was too revealing, but Vanessa did not notice, she was very satisfied with her entrance.
As Vanessa searched around the room, she did not see the look of disapproval in the group's eyes staring at her. Vanessa was only interested in finding Joshua in the crowd.
Joshua only looked at her for a short moment and took Hazel's hand to walk upstairs. Vanessa caught a glimpse of them as they reached the top of the stairs, anger ripped through her as she saw they were really here together!
Enduring the anger in her heart, Vanessa did not try to catch up with the two, she just calmly greeted everyone.
Suddenly, a small figure waved at Vanessa in the corner, she looked at the crowd and slowly walked toward the figure. Vanessa did not know that from the moment she walked in, someone was watching her.
In the corner, there was a beautiful little girl, about seven or eight years old. As soon as she saw Vanessa, she ran and hugged her leg, "Vanessa!"
Looking at her crumpled dress, Vanessa's eyes looked at the child with disgust, but when the little girl looked up at her, she immediately put on a friendly and kind smile.
Vanessa reached out and touched the little girl's head. "Becky, did you see Joshua's girlfriend?"
"I saw her!" Becky pouted her lips. "That woman is too annoying. As you said, she is a big bad guy! She dared to try and steal my friend, I must teach her a lesson!
"Becky," Vanessa said with embarrassment, "Joshua likes her very much, and he takes her to play everywhere he goes, all day, and he ignores others. If you do this, he may be angry."
Becky looked like she was about to cry. "Why is that woman so bad? Joshua doesn't come to see me, and she must have stopped him. I don't want to let her go! Right, you promised to bring me some candies that can make Joshua hate her, where are they?"
Vanessa took out a piece of candy reluctantly, "Becky, don't you think this is not a good thing to do?"
"Vanessa, don't worry. I will never tell others that this is what you gave me." Becky immediately took the candy away.
Vanessa's face flashed a smug smile. She quickly pulled Becky, who was about to leave, and said with a serious, "Becky, remember, this candy needs to be put in a drink. Also, you must not eat it, or you will be hated by everyone!"
"I know, don't worry!" Becky nodded. "I had a cavity recently. It will hurt if I eat sugar, so I will not eat it!"
Vanessa let go of her hand and watched her run to the stairs. A cold smile appeared on Vanessa's face, she had not given Becky candy, it was a medicine that would make Hazel embarrassed if she ate it.
Becky was still a child, so by putting the medicine in Hazel's drink, nobody would suspect anything. Vanessa wanted to see Hazel embarrassed in front of so many people then Joshua would decide if he really wanted this woman.
Becky climbed up the stairs as a person hit her from behind. She couldn't help but scream, and she fell.
"Becky, you should be more careful!" The person behind hurriedly held Becky. She eagerly asked, "Are you okay? Do you feel good?"
The person reached out and touched Becky as if he was checking whether she was injured.
"I am fine." Becky shook her head and said politely.
"That's good." The woman in front of her sighed. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I just didn't watch where I was going and hit you."
"It doesn't matter, see you later." Becky waved her hand and turned away.
Scarlett looked at Becky as she went up the stairs, there was a pill-like thing in her hand. This was exactly what she had just taken out of Becky's pocket.
Earlier, Joshua called her and asked her to keep an eye on Vanessa. She just heard the conversation between Vanessa and Becky, and she caught up with Becky to take medicine out of her pocket.
Scarlett sniffed the pill and was very sure that it was definitely not candy!

Hazel and Joshua were in Professor Watson's study to give him a gift from Joshua.
They had only exchanged a few words and, of course, praised Hazel, which only embarrassed her when the door of the study slowly opened. Becky looked inside and saw Joshua, and her eyes suddenly brightened.
"Joshua!" She ran in with joy and hugged his legs.
Joshua smiled, reached out, and touched her head.
"Hazel, this is Professor Watson's daughter Becky." Joshua introduced her to Hazel.
Hazel was somewhat surprised that Professor Watson's younger daughter would be so sticky to Joshua. She couldn't help but look at Joshua with a weird look in her eyes.
Joshua was wondering what Hazel was thinking about?
"Hazel, my daughter, is mischievous," Professor Watson said with a smile. "When she was born, my wife and I were old, so we spoiled her to be impolite and rude."
"I am not!" Becky said, and she suddenly let go of Joshua and looked at Hazel.
"This beautiful woman must be the girlfriend of Joshua?"
"Yes." Joshua nodded. "She is."
Becky's eyes lit up, and she took Hazel's hand. "Hazel, are you willing to come to play with me?"
