Hazel's face darkened. Even if she had guessed that the girls were targeting her, she could live with that, but it really pissed her off that they kept insulting her.
It didn't appear that they had any intention of shutting up. One of the girls took out her phone and pointed the camera at Hazel. She excitedly said, "Guys, quickly undress her, slap her across the face, and burn her with cigarettes! I haven't photographed such an exciting scene in a long time. I will post the photos on Twitter!"
"Do you hear that?" The girl taking the lead said arrogantly, "You had better obediently let us beat you up to vent our anger. If you make us fight with you, you'll definitely suffer!"
Hazel looked at them coldly. "Is it Mandy who asked you to come?"
They called her an impostor at the very beginning, so it was clear that Mandy had asked them to attack her. It seemed that Mandy was very concerned about her living in Denmark Residence.
Was Mandy not only interested in being Denmark's daughter but also in Joshua? Thinking about the possibility, Hazel felt irritated.
"Who said that?" The girl taking the lead looked fl.u.s.tered for a moment, but then, she restored her arrogant manner and said ferociously, "I'm just a stranger who couldn't put up with your behavior!"
She stepped closer to Hazel and whispered, "I don't think that your adoptive parents were very good since, after all, you are a bastard with unknown biological parents. They raised you to seduce men and pimp yourself out for a good price! Since you don't have decent parents to teach you a lesson, let us teach you how to behave yourself!"
"I dare you to say it again!" Hazel's face was cold instantly, and she stepped angrily forward. Insulting her adoptive parents was her breaking point.
As they looked at her furious expression, the girls were frightened, took a few steps backward.
"What do you, what do you want to do? Freeze, or I'll shoot!" The leading girl suddenly took out a pistol and pointed it at Hazel.
Hazel's pupils suddenly shrunk.
She knew a lot about guns because of her mother's police career, and she could see that the gun in the girl's hand was real.
They actually had a gun? No matter how daring they were, they wouldn't dare to kill someone in broad daylight with a gun. It was not going to be a simple situation to get out of, though.
What exactly was Mandy trying to do? Presumably, the identities of the girls would not be well-known.
Hazel stared coldly at the gun and stood still.
The girl taking the lead thought Hazel was scared, so she was relieved. She sneered. "Are you afraid now? Stand still!"
Hazel's eyes dimmed slightly. Then she lowered her head, but she was, in fact, waiting for the girl to get closer.
Seeing that Hazel was so obedient and seemed to be scared to death, the girl taking the lead was even more arrogant. She proudly walked up to Hazel. "Pooh! Hazel Crowe, you were just so arrogant, weren't you? How did you dare fight against us?"
Hazel was plotting, and she frowned slightly as she thought the girl was still not close enough. She waited patiently.
Another girl that was standing behind Hazel kicked her hard in the leg.
"Kneel down!"
Hazel suppressed her anger as she watched the girl approach with the gun. Seeing that Hazel refused to kneel, the girl pointed the gun at her.
She stepped forward angrily and said fiercely, "Kneel quickly, or I will shoot you! You are stubborn, aren't you? But it so happens I like to bully people who are stubborn! I want you not only to kneel but also to lick the dirt off our shoes. Quickly!"
Hazel drooped her eyes and slowly crouched down.
The girl with the gun looked very pleased. She was trying to laugh at Hazel, but before she could say a word, Hazel suddenly threw herself at her.
It all happened in the blink of an eye, and the girl taking the lead was in a daze. She even tried to pull the trigger, but before she could move, Hazel had got close and grabbed her wrist. The girl was unable to get away, and Hazel snatched the gun out of her hand.
"Don't move! None of you!" said Hazel coldly.
The other three girls were startled to see that Hazel had the gun in her hand. Then they said with disregard, "Shoot if you want! It's only a fake gun. Who do you think it can threaten?"
"Fake?" With a sneer, Hazel pointed the gun at their feet and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The three girls screamed and stared at the bullet mark by their feet, their faces were white as a sheet.
"That, that is the real gun?!" They stuttered and began shaking, then they fell to the ground in tears.
"You, you can't kill me!" The girl who Hazel was holding was also very terrified.
She shouted, "I'm Kathie Anderson. If you kill me, the Anderson family will cut ties with the Denmark family! Do you want to turn Master Denmark against my brother Isaac?!"
Hazel's eyes narrowed slightly. "Is that what Mandy told you to say? Was she the one who sent you?"
"No, no…" Kathie hesitated for a bit.
"Tell me the truth!" Hazel shouted coldly and pointed the gun at her. "Don't think I will stop from doing anything terrible to you!"
"I met with Lucy and Mandy. Lucy hates you very much. She told me you are an impostor… I was in a fit of anger and came to you," said Kathie, trembling. "Let, let me go! You cannot afford to offend me!"
Hazel's brows were furrowed tightly, and she knew the whole incident at long last.
Lucy had been to Denmark Group and had been embarrassed, so she hated Hazel very much. Mandy approached her and provoked Lucy to flare up with just a few words.
Hazel had heard from Isaac that Kathie was the naughtiest and most favored child in the Anderson family and that she had caused a lot of trouble. Lucy only needed a few words of complaint to incite the fearless Kathie to attack Hazel, but the gun was very likely Mandy's idea. It was Mandy's style, and no matter when or where it was, she would always find a scapegoat.
Nonetheless, this incident involved the Anderson family, not Mandy. If Kathie did kill or hurt her, Mandy would not be held responsible. Hazel was safe, but the two families would have a falling out with each other if she didn't let it go.
Kathie knew Hazel would have to let her go. She may have been young, but she had no fear, and she was very malicious.
