Hazel stood quietly and thought it was true. Indeed, if it was Joshua who showed up to save her, Mandy would have been alerted and would have chosen to continue playing a good and harmless assistant.
However, when Mandy saw it was James, she would seize the opportunity to harm her. No wonder James and Mandy made the appointment in the same place. It turned out that Joshua and James were prepared.
Hazel also realized that she hadn't paid attention to James's reminder. If Mandy was actually staying at the hotel, it was kind of suspicious, there was no sign of life at all. There were no clothes and daily necessities anywhere in the room, she couldn't comprehend how she believed Mandy lived there.
They guessed the beginning, but they could not guess the ending. After they walked out the door of the hotel, James called Hazel.
"What?" Hazel looked at him blankly.
James slapped his own face, his face started turning red.
"What are you doing?" Hazel was shocked.
"Sorry," James said, "In fact, Joshua told me to hurry to save you, but because I hate him, I was late. I didn't expect you to be caught in danger and take a slap."
Joshua reached out his fingers and stroked Hazel's cheek.
"It's okay," Hazel said with a shallow smile. She said with emotion, "I was not hurt in the end. You came just in time, and it also made me see how ruthless Mandy was."
Mandy actually wanted the group of men to take turns raping her while they took pictures. She couldn't help but feel furious every time she thought of it.
After saying goodbye to James, Hazel and Joshua drove home to Denmark Residence, Hazel said nothing while they drove, and she had an awkward look when they pulled in the driveway.
"I am a little tired. I am going to go lay down." Hazel opened the door to her room and tried to shut it behind her, but Joshua squeezed in.
"Hazel?" He closed the door and looked at her with some concern, "What are you thinking about?"
Hazel looked up at Joshua blankly.
"Joshua," Hazel said with some anxiety, "Could you have made a mistake?"
"What's wrong?" Joshua's eyes went a little darker, "Are you saying that I found the wrong daughter for the Denmark Family?"
"Is it not possible?" Hazel was somewhat entangled, "Could there be such a coincidence? I just had the same birthmark as her, and both of us happened to be orphans... So, when you were looking for the daughter of Denmark Family, you made a mistake."
"There is no such possibility, and there is no such coincidence." Joshua said firmly, "Even if there is such a coincidence, it could only have been arranged by someone."
"But, I thought about it. When I met Mandy, she always seemed to look like that. She probably did not have surgery." Hazel couldn't help but frown, "Do you want to say that she had done cosmetic surgery before she met me?"
"Could be." Joshua's look was a bit more serious.
If that's the case, it only showed that Fred had started planning this thing very early, even before he knew Hazel or earlier.
"But," Hazel looked a little hesitant, and she whispered, "Don't you think that she looks more like..."
She didn't finish the sentence, but Mandy looked more like Cate Denmark than her, which was why she sensed a familiarity when she saw Mandy.
"What?" Joshua asked.
"Nothing." Hazel shook her head. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Yes! I know there is a mobile app. We can input the photos of a man and a woman in it, and the app can predict what their children look like! Let's try it!"
That said, Hazel took out her mobile phone and started downloading the app, Joshua knew there was no point in trying to stop her.
After she quickly downloaded the app, Hazel took photos of Marcus and Cate. After scanning their photos, a composite photo showed up on her phone.
Hazel couldn't wait to see it. The next moment, her face became pale.
Although she and Mandy only resembled each other by 70%-80%, with the predicted photo of Marcus and Cate's daughter, Mandy was a 90% match!
The result left Hazel feeling even more upset.
"Bad app!" She threw her phone into the bed.
Joshua's eyes narrowed. He picked up the phone on the bed, looked at the photo, and began pondering.
"You think she is more like their daughter, right?" Hazel almost cried.
She had lived with the Crowe family for twenty more years, then suddenly, one day, Joshua told her about her true parents. Although her biological parents were very good people, she took a long time to digest and accept this fact. But when she finally got mentally prepared, someone suddenly told her that she was not the daughter of the Denmark Family and she was a fake.
What was wrong with these people? It's not that she was eager to be the daughter of the Denmark Family. Why did her identity have to be decided by others? Thinking of everything, Hazel's c.h.e.s.t felt heavy. She was so frustrated that she took the phone and began to pack her things.
"What are you doing?" Joshua grabbed her arm helplessly.
"You let go!" Hazel's voice trembled, and she resisted the urge to cry. "I am not necessarily the daughter of the Denmark Family anyway. Then why should I stay here? I'll go back to school anyway... Well! "
Joshua stopped her with a kiss gentle like a breeze, comforting Hazel's wounded heart.
"Stop saying these stupid things." Joshua whispered, "Hazel, you are the daughter of the Denmark Family. There is no doubt about that."
"Joshua, you don't have to comfort me." Hazel's voice was a little choked.
"You have been looking at the photo too. Don't you think she is more likely than me to be the daughter of the Denmark Family?"
"Who said that?" Joshua said softly. "I think she had surgery, according to the photo."
"Ah?" Hazel said blankly.
