Mandy's temperament was entirely different than before. The Mandy that worked with her was an easy target to bully, but now she was looking sharp from head to toe.
While Hazel was watching Mandy indifferently, Mandy was looking at Hazel confrontationally. Fred led Mandy to the conference table and sat down. Just as things started to settle down, the door to the conference room opened again, and Sunny came in with Susan.
Hazel was a little surprised. Why did they come?
"Sunny also has some shares in the Denmark Family," Joshua whispered as if he had read Hazel's mind.
Hazel was amazed. But even if Sunny had no shares, she would have probably shown up anyway. Susan also saw Mandy, she snorted and then gave her a disgusted look.
When all the attendees arrived, Fred took the initiative to stand up. He said with a serious look, "Ladies and gentlemen, today, I want to introduce you to someone. By seeing her resemblance, I think you must have already understood what's going on, right?"
That said, Mandy stood up in due course.
"She, she really looks like..."
The crowd couldn't help but burst into whispers of astonishment. As the whispering continued throughout the conference room, people snuck a look at Hazel. However, Joshua sat there, making them afraid to talk about anything.
"Directors of the board," Mandy said slowly and politely, completely without arrogance while she was looking at Hazel a moment ago, "My name is Mandy. About half a year ago, Director Cohen found me. He told me that he had investigated my information and helped me find my biological parents. And my biological parents are Marcus Denmark and Cate Denmark."
To the directors, the statement undoubtedly sounded like something out of a movie. They already knew about Hazel, but now another daughter of the Denmark family emerged. One was the true daughter, and the other must be an imposter.
Everyone was talking about it, but no one dared to say anything too loudly. They couldn't help but look at Joshua and Hazel, but the two were looking really calm as if they had never heard Mandy.
After Mandy sat down and everyone got quiet, Fred opened his mouth again and narrated how hard he had been searching for Denmark's daughter for years. After a lot of hardsh.i.p.s and disappointments, he finally found Mandy six months ago.
After comparing a variety of information, he finally confirmed her identity, and she was the lost daughter of the Denmark family.
Then Fred looked at Joshua and said, "Joshua, you have been cheated! Mandy is the daughter of the Denmark family, and Hazel is just a woman of unknown origin! You should check the information. If you refuse to check, I have to wonder if you have other plans!"
Everyone was in awe. Even though Fred didn't say it directly, he was undoubtedly implying that Joshua deliberately found a fake daughter of Denmark's family in order to keep Denmark's property.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Joshua suddenly twitched his lips, "Your bedtime storytelling ability is great."
The atmosphere of the entire conference room suddenly loosened.
Even if they had had more doubts before, when they heard Joshua, they felt that Fred's previous accusations seemed completely unreasonable.
"Okay, let me say a few words." Sunny spoke indifferently, "I am the most familiar with my sister and brother-in-law and the closest person to them. I should have a say in this matter, do I?"
The crowd suddenly calmed down, and Joshua looked at her deeply.
"Fred, this girl looks really like my sister." Sunny looks at Mandy blankly.
Fred looked a little prouder.
"But in the same way, Hazel also looks similar to my brother-in-law." Sunny said, "Just judging from their looks, it's hard to say who is true or not. Do you have any other evidence?"
"Yes," Fred said immediately.
Fred took out a photo and said with a sad face, "Mandy was sent to the orphanage before she was adopted, and this is a photo of her taken in the orphanage for archival purposes. Fortunately, this photo is well preserved. If you look at this photo, I don't think there will be any doubts anymore."
The photo was projected on the display of the conference room. When she saw the photo, Hazel's pupils suddenly shrank. When the daughter of the Denmark family was lost, she was only a few months old, but her looks were unique.
In the photo from the orphanage archive, the baby looked skinny and weak, which meant it must have suffered a lot, but there was no doubt that the baby was exactly the same person as she saw in the photo of the Denmark family.
Hazel was really lost, the photo really made her begin to doubt her life.
"When Mandy was sent to an orphanage, she was dying." Fred said with a whimper, "The orphanage thought that the child was not going to survive. Fortunately, she eventually managed to get through it. If you don't believe it, we can ask Joshua to provide a baby photo of this child, and we can compare the two photos carefully!"
Joshua's eyes went a bit darker. No wonder Fred was fearless, it turned out that he had such an important photo in his hand. Fred's photo indicated that the story of the daughter that was taken away in the past was by no means simple.
Hazel also had her childhood photos with the same style. But when the Crowe Family took pictures of her, her face was more grown-up, which meant her photos were not as convincing as Fred's photo.
"And," Fred continued. "I think everyone knows about the capabilities and personalities of Marcus and Cate. Cate was the gentlest woman in the world, and Marcus had an amazing business mind. And Mandy is a perfect combination of the two. She inherited both of their best qualities. I am afraid you still don't know the plan to increase the sales at the coffee factory was created by Mandy!"
Hazel was completely dumbfounded. Even if she was still immersed in the doubts of her life, Fred's words were so shameless that she could not listen any longer.
The coffee factory's plan was obviously her idea. Mandy just helped with the paperwork. But they were actually trying to take credit for it themselves?
