Hazel frowned. She did not expect that just as she was about to prove her innocence, something else would happen. However, something else was Jacob's wife, Jacqueline Ross.
Jacob counted on his wife and would never question her, but he was very flirtatious, so she often caused trouble for him regardless of the occasion.
When he saw Jacqueline walk in and she was angry, Jacob was so scared that he quickly released Hazel.
"Jacqueline, this is a misunderstanding, a total misunderstanding…"
"Misunderstanding?" Jacqueline caught Jacob and pulled him by his hair.
She was annoyed. "Jacob, do you really think that I don't know what you are? What misunderstanding, you just met the woman? Is that it? Which woman were you flirting with this time?"
"Really, this is not my fault this time," Jacob was stunned. He pointed to Hazel and roared, "She seduces me first!"
Hazel was stunned, and she did not expect he would accuse her of being the instigator. The entire crowd was speechless, Jacob's shamelessness hit a low. However, Hazel claimed to represent the Denmark Group, nobody knew if it was true or not. There was also no way that Jacob was going to risk offending his wife.
Jacqueline looked in the direction that Jacob was pointing, she glared at Hazel. Suddenly, she screamed, "Bitch, how dare you seduce my husband?
She ran toward Hazel and slapped her face, Hazel did not react except with a cold expression. She was preparing to attack her when someone grabbed Jacqueline before she had the chance.
Hazel was stunned. She looked up and saw Joshua standing beside her with a gloomy face.
"When did you arrive?" Hazel's eyes showed a little bit of joy, but it quickly turned to embarrassment. Joshua was actually there, but he saw that she was being bullied. Although the woman may not be able to bully her, it still made her feel embarrassed.
"Just arrived," Joshua whispered.
He was too late to know the entire situation, but he arrived in time to stop it from getting worse. If he hadn't come, then would Hazel have been bullied, or would she have stopped it herself? As he pondered, Joshua's face became darker, and his grasp on Jacqueline's arm became stronger.
Jacqueline had cold sweat rolling down her forehead, and she said with annoyance, "Who are you? Let go of me!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Joshua's eyes. He released his hand from Jacqueline's arm, she took a few steps back and fell to the ground.
Jacqueline suddenly felt that she was losing all of her dignity. She was so annoyed that she sat on the floor and cried. "Jacob! You are a bastard. You are going to stand there and watch your wife being bullied. Are you a guy who has no balls, and you even cannot compare to a young man..."
Listening to Jacqueline's swearing, Jacob also felt ashamed. He was annoyed, he walked in front of Hazel and pointed to Joshua. "Who do you think you are? You dare bully my wife... Sir Denmark!"
Jacob's anger immediately turned into fear. He looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. He had not seen who saved Hazel until that moment.
What Joshua said was true before, the guests invited by Danny's celebration party did not know much about him. But coincidentally, Jacob happened to be the one out of all of them who recognized him. Stanley Commercial had problems, and he has gone to see Joshua several times for help, but he was always turned away. He wanted to see Joshua but not in this way.
Sir Denmark? Everyone's face changed slightly.
Was Joshua actually there in person? Everyone looked at Hazel in awe. It seemed that she was indeed a representative of the Denmark Group and Joshua seemed to care about her. They knew they were fortunate that they didn't say anything wrong.
"Are you injured at all?" Joshua looked at Hazel gently.
"No." Hazel shook his head.
"Don't worry," Joshua said. "Although you are my assistant, I have no
other motive. There is only one, and that is to protect my employees."
Jacob was scared to stand, Joshua did not say this directly to him, but he knew it was clearly said as a warning.
"President Stanley, you are fearless. You dare to flirt, my assistant?" Joshua looked at him coldly. Although he has just arrived, he understood what kind of person Jacob was. With a simple guess, he already knew what had just happened.
Sweat fell from Jacob's forehead, and he hurriedly said, "Sir Denmark, Sir Denmark, this is a misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstanding?" Joshua's eyes were a bit colder. "You mean, is this the fault of my assistant?"
"No, not..." Jacob was even more fearful, he felt pressure from Joshua and could not even complete a sentence.
Jacqueline, who was still on the ground, did not recognize Joshua. When she saw Jacob being so fearful, she suddenly burned with anger. She climbed up from the ground and pointed to Joshua, shouting loudly. "I don't care who you are, obviously this bitch seduced my husband! Do you think I can't see it? You are young, and you actually thought of give my husband a woman, so he would help you…"
Everyone was stunned. They looked at Jacqueline like they were watching a comedy show.
Why did Joshua need to give Jacob a woman? Jacob offended Hazel and Jacqueline offended Joshua.
"What are you talking about?!" Jacob suddenly panicked, and Jacqueline wouldn't stop talking nonsense. He simply raised his slap and slapped her face.
Jacqueline was suddenly stunned. She covered her cheek and looked at Jacob in disbelief.
Jacob stared back at her and said with amazement and anger, "You still need to apologize to Sir Denmark and Miss Crowe!"
Jacqueline did not hear the word Denmark and was still immersed in the shock of being beaten. The next moment, she attacked Jacob.
"Jacob Stanley! You dare to beat me! I will kill you..."
Joshua had a small frown when he saw them fighting.
"Director Hall, although this is a celebration party, you should pay more attention when you are picking guests. After all, not everyone can come here. Right?"
"Yes! You are right, I am negligent." Danny hurriedly nodded his head in agreement with Joshua. He was certainly not afraid to offend Jacob, so he yelled, "Security, get these two people out of here!"
