Was it possible now that Sunny wanted to kill her to take Denmark Group and that she was the mastermind who had been hurting her family for over twenty years?
"But why?" Hazel asked inexplicably, "She was a foster daughter of Joseph Family, and her relationship with my mother did not seem to be fake. Could it be that she hated my father because of love, and she did everything out of revenge?"
"Even so, I really don't believe that's the whole story. No, I have to go there again. Even if I don't look for clues there, I want to talk to her. I will take Crystal with me, and if you still don't feel relieved, I will take more bodyguards with me."
Joshua did not look happy, but Hazel seemed determined, so he knew there was no way he could change her mind.
"I am going with you." He sighed. Besides, he couldn't think of any other way to protect Hazel. The situation had become even scarier, whether it was Sunny or Simon, it was very dangerous.
"But if you follow me, Sunny probably won't do anything, right?" Hazel frowned.
"Your safety is more important than anything." Joshua sighed, "Hazel, this my only concern and my only condition. You should understand why and if I could actually handcuff you to me, so I could take you everywhere, I would."
Hazel blushed and agreed, "Okay..."
"Good girl." Joshua kissed her on the forehead.

The two had prepared a gift and arrived at the Joseph Residence. Sunny was waiting for them, she didn't say much when she saw that Joshua was with Hazel.
She asked them to sit down and calmly said, "Joshua, I want to take Hazel to the study to talk with her alone, do you mind?"
"No." Joshua said faintly, "Go ahead. I am going to the garden."
Hazel winked at Joshua and eventually followed Sunny upstairs. When they got to the study, Sunny took out a folder, her eyes filled with reluctance, "This is a list of things in Joseph Residence. There are many antiques that are priceless and need to be maintained."
"I will take good care of them." Hazel took the list. She looked at it very carefully, asked some questions, and Sunny answered each one. Hazel didn't notice that Sunny's eyes were getting more and more mysterious.
After Hazel finished reading the list, Sunny said faintly, "There is nothing else here. Let's go."
Sunny paused for a while and said as if she was in another dimension, "This is the place that changed my destiny..."
"I want to know more about my mother. Was she nice to you?" Hazel finally asked.
"...She was very nice to me, and we were closer than any sisters could be." Sunny looked at Hazel strangely and suddenly felt a little uneasy. "Let's get out of here."
"But I still want to know more..." Hazel said again.
The uneasiness in Sunny's stomach was stronger. Why did she have the impression that Hazel was pestering her? Was it possible that Joshua was up to something?
"There will be a chance in the future." Sunny looked a little cold, "Hazel, I have given Joseph Residence to you. Are you still suspecting my relationship with your mom?"
Hazel was a bit stunned. Sunny was tough to deal with, but she hadn't received the signal from Joshua, so she had to try to stall Sunny a little longer.
Hazel was thinking quickly but kept a calm expression on her face. Since Sunny was beginning to suspect her, she had to take a risky step.
"Aunt Sunny, I think you may have misunderstood me." Hazel bit her lip, and her eyes began to tear up. "I just feel a little sad. After all, you support Mandy and not me, even though I am the real daughter…."
"Hazel, you really can't blame me for that." Sunny said with a bit of annoyance, "In fact, I have always believed in you. And as for Mandy, I kept alienated from her the entire time, right? But she had that evidence, and then Joshua has been evading the whole issue, what could I do? I just wanted to help my sister and brother-in-law by finding their daughter. It has always been my wish, so it was easy for me to be blinded by false evidence…."
As she listened to Sunny's making excuses and put all responsibility on others, Hazel felt a bit strange. It seemed that Sunny did not want to come clean with her.
Each time she talked with Sunny, regardless of what she said, Sunny would change her attitude. It became more of natural awareness and almost as if she had a guilty conscience that even Hazel could perceive.
"I am just mean sometimes, I guess." Hazel smiled.
Sunny seemed to have awakened suddenly, and she quickly walked toward the door. "As I said, since we are done here, let's go."
Hazel was anxious and helpless, walking behind her. Sunny walked downstairs with an ugly expression on her face, she saw Joshua walking in from outside. She looked relieved, but she had doubts in her heart about if he just walked around the garden.
"You two finished talking?" Joshua asked.
Hazel breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and came to Joshua's side and nodded, "Well, it's over."
"Let's go," Joshua said faintly.
