Chapter 1075 - 363: Don’t Take It Seriously

The directors watched coldly as Amy continued to beat Mandy, none of them took the initiative to stop the attack. They had followed Mandy to Denmark Residence to cause trouble, but she had tricked them. They were all pulled into the situation because Mandy schemed, so they had a good reason to be angry with her.

The emotions and anger of being fooled with Mandy left them with negative feelings toward her. Even those who had hoped that Mandy was the Denmark family's daughter were questioning their option.

Fred saw that nobody else would help the situation, and he personally didn't care about anything else, so he pushed Mr. Anderson out of the way and then pulled Mrs. Anderson off of Mandy. He held out his hand to help Mandy to her feet.

Mrs. Anderson gained her composure for a moment but then began to scratch and grab at Fred when she saw Mandy hiding behind him like he was her bodyguard. 

"Mrs. Anderson, we should talk peacefully!" Fred said with annoyance.

"Damn!" Mrs. Anderson spat at him and yelled. "Fred! You said you wouldn't tolerate anyone who did this. But it looks like you want to help that little bitch. I knew it! You brought a fake one to drive away from the other one, but that girl is not qualified! You are protecting her. Are you sleeping with her or just want to get to Denmark Group through her?"

Mandy's expression changed quickly, she hated when someone called her a fake.

"Mrs. Anderson! You can insult me, but why are you questioning the identity of Mandy and her innocence?" Fred asked angrily, "I am taking care of her just because she is the daughter of my old friends. There is nothing going on between us!"

"Did you do something dirty, and you are afraid of it being discussed by others?" Mrs. Anderson snorted and pointed to Mandy. "Listen, you bitch! You are going to plead guilty and have Kathie released. Otherwise, I won't let you leave!"

Mandy's hair was a mess, her cheeks were red and scratched from Mrs. Anderson attacking her. She contemplated the situation, they wanted her to admit to the crime, but she was not a fool, of course, she couldn't admit to the felony of carrying a gun and plotting to murder someone. Her original plan was to gain an advantage over Hazel, except now Hazel was happy.

She looked at Hazel with annoyance and suppressed her anger. "Mrs. Anderson, as long as Hazel agreed not to hold someone responsible, everything would be okay, wouldn't it? I had nothing to do with what happened to your family, you can go check the monitor or ask Lucy…"

"You are a bitch. You really don't want to forget to alienate Hazel from me, do you?" Mrs. Anderson was angry again and rushed up. Mandy was scared and immediately stopped talking, hiding behind Fred.

"Please," Joshua said, "Could you handle your business on your own time? This is Denmark Residence, not a boxing ring. It is not the time or place to handle your dispute."

"This really has nothing to do with me..." Mandy was angry and anxious.

Mandy knew she could not just leave. If she did, she would be held responsible. She had to find a way to explain and make everyone suspect Hazel clearly. 

Fred looked over at Mandy and said, "Let's go!"

He had understood what was happening; Grandpa Anderson was siding with Joshua to protect Hazel, so even if they stayed, they wouldn't be able to explain. No matter what, they would just continue to be insulted.

It was better to leave and try to persuade the directors one by one. Mandy did not leave any evidence that could be used against her, even if they doubted her, they had no proof.

Once Fred and Mandy pulled out of the driveway, the directors began to heave sighs of relief as they started walking out the door. Since they knew the truth, they were suffering each moment they had to stay in Denmark Residence.

They chattered back and forth in surprise about Joshua letting Mandy go. However, some of them assumed that even though Joshua had done nothing, the Anderson family would deal with her. Just as they suspected, Kathie's parents flew past them and chased after Fred.

Denmark Residence was almost cleared of visitors, but Isaac and Grandpa Anderson waited. Grandpa Anderson walked over to Hazel, looking at her with love and affection.

"Grandpa Anderson..." Hazel was somewhat embarrassed. After all, she was the one who had Kathie taken to the police station, and if Grandpa Anderson asked her not to hold Kathie responsible, she wouldn't.

"You are the child of Marcus and Cate," Grandpa Anderson said with emotion. "No wonder I felt your kind nature and pleasantness when I first saw you."

Hazel blushed as she listened to Grandpa Anderson's emotional words. Everyone seemed to be skeptical about her identity, even her, but he was undoubtedly giving her recognition and encouragement when he said that. 

"Good girl, don't think too much," Grandpa Anderson said. "She deserved what she got; she needed to be taught a lesson. We will deal with this matter. You don't have to feel any guilt."

Hazel didn't know what to say, she knew that Grandpa Anderson cared about her like a young member of the family, the thought left her feeling warm.

"Hazel, my grandfather, has said this, not to pressure you at all," said Isaac. "We cannot bear what Kathie did either! She corrupted our family's reputation. Even if you were not involved, we would have to teach her a lesson. Also, you are welcome to thank me."

"Thank you," Hazel said gratefully.

"Only a simple sentence?" Isaac suddenly became unhappy.

"That is enough, Isaac! Only you would be in a mood to joke at this time!"

Grandpa Anderson swung his cane and hit Isaac.

Isaac had no choice but to say goodbye and leave with Grandpa Anderson, leaving Hazel and Joshua in the living room. 

"Hazel," he looked at her with some concern. "Don't think too much of what the directors said."

"What?" Hazel looked at him blankly. Suddenly, she was stunned. "You mean that they want me to move out?"

"Yeah." Joshua was uneasy. Hazel was very s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e, he was really afraid that she would think too much.

"I definitely won't move out. Just like you said, I live in my boyfriend's house. What's more, since certain people are looking forward to me moving out, I won't give them satisfaction. Even if I did move out," Hazel suddenly smiled and continued to say, "I would take you with me!"

"Okay." Joshua smiled and said, "That's it."

"Don't take it seriously," seeing him be serious, Hazel hurriedly said, "I just mentioned it."

"I am serious." Joshua's look was extraordinarily serious.

Hazel didn't know what to say. Suddenly, she frowned. "Joshua, you said this time, can Mandy handle this?"
