Hazel's lips twitched as she was trying very hard not to laugh.
Only now did she understand how Katie had misunderstood her. Hazel was very stunned at the fact that she had been getting her wrong all this time.
However, she looked guilty in Katie's eyes.
As for the other guests' reaction, Katie thought that they had believed her, and they were joining her in condemning Hazel.
In an instant, Callie on the side was worried. She quickly said, "Grandma, you misunderstood..."
"Shut up!" Grandma Shawn threw her an unpleasant stare. "Katie's helping, so stop messing around. You have no right to speak here!"
"But…" Callie wanted to continue, but Grandma Shawn's face looked a little stricter.
Seeing that Callie actually put in a good word for Hazel, Katie was unwilling to miss this opportunity to embarrass her. She looked at Callie with an air of righteousness. "Sister, she is a secret lover and a mistress who destroys other people's relationsh.i.p.s. How can you stay with such people? You don't want to be like her, do you? Do you want to tell me that's how you manage to stay with Master Isaac? No wonder Master Isaac hates you so much!"
Callie suddenly went pale. Isaac didn't like her, which was a sore spot for her, but Katie actually touched her sore spot on this occasion!
In a flash, Hazel's face turned cold. Just then, a warm hand rested on her shoulder.
She looked back and saw Joshua already standing behind her.
"What's the matter?" he whispered.
"She stops me from entering." She complained.
The moment she saw Joshua, Katie's legs went weak. But the next moment, she said with a tone of righteousness, "Master Joshua, since this is a party you throw for your girlfriend, how can you bring this woman here to make trouble?"
Joshua' eyes suddenly became a little sharper, and when his eyes fell on Katie, she felt as if countless swords were piercing her. No, she couldn't be scared now. This time it was Joshua who was unreasonable. She might be able to ingratiate herself with the Denmark family's daughter in this way so that she could also get close to Joshua.
"She said I was your secret lover," Hazel explained.
"Secret?" Joshua sneered. The next moment, he put his left hand around Hazel's waist to lift her hand. "Isn't our relationship always legal?"
Of course, they all saw that Hazel and Joshua were wearing rings on their ring fingers! So they were married?! However, even if they were not married, they would get married soon!
Katie was in a daze for a while. She had seen the rings on their hands, but there was only jealousy and hatred in her heart! Why, why did this woman win his heart first?
"Master Joshua!" Katie looked at him mournfully. "How can you do that? You've clearly had Miss Crowe already and admitted that she is your girlfriend, and you threw a dinner party for her, but all of a sudden, you are with another woman. Where will you leave her?!"
The whole banquet hall fell silent as everyone heard her sad question. They looked at Katie more speechlessly.
God, how could there be such an idiot woman! How far was she going to lose face!
Hazel burst into laughter despite herself.
She couldn't help but say, "Miss Shawn, you really broaden my outlook. You're an outsider, but your aggrieved tone just now almost made me think you're the real Hazel Crowe."
"Even if I'm not Hazel Crowe, you can't be here," Katie said with great confidence. "Why can't I blame you, a mistress who harms others' relationsh.i.p.s? Whoever is just will never let you go!"
With that, Katie looked at the crowd. She was a little proud, to begin with, because she thought as long as she stood on the high ground of justice, everyone else would help her condemn Hazel. At that time, no matter how angry Joshua was, he wouldn't do anything to her.
Somehow Katie felt confused and fl.u.s.tered at the bottom of her heart. She finally realized that something was wrong. What was wrong was that the people didn't look angry, but… they looked like they were waiting for her to become a laughing stock!
No! It must be her illusion! They were waiting to see Hazel become a laughing stock.
Hazel laughed harder, but she finally stopped, her eyes flashing with a charming gleam. "Oh, then I'm really sorry, I'm Hazel Crowe."
"You apologize at long last…." Katie snorted with disdain. She didn't even hear clearly what Hazel was saying. She just heard her apology and thought Hazel had given in, but before she finished the sentence, she heard a plop beside her.
It was Grandma Shawn who directly kneeled on the ground with her legs going weak.
Katie sensed there was something fishy. She looked back at Grandma Shawn and crouched down blankly, trying to help her up. "Grandma, don't get mad. This woman is not worth your anger…"
Before she finished the sentence, Grandma Shawn slapped her across the face.
"Grandma!" Katie looked at her in shock, unable to come to her senses for a long time. She didn't figure out why Grandma Shawn did that to her!
"You…" Grandma Shawn's fingers were shaking as she pointed them at her. She should have found it out! However, she allowed Katie to continue making trouble for her own selfishness, but she didn't expect that Katie would cause such big trouble in the end!
Yeah. If the woman, who could dress the most lavishly for such an occasion and get so much attention and Joshua' most attention, wasn't Hazel Crowe, the star of today's party, who else would she be?!
Smack! Grandma Shawn slapped Katie across the face again!
"Grandma!" Katie covered her face and dared not speak in anger.
"You, you son of a bitch!" Grandma Shawn tried hard not to pass out. Her eyes were very dark. "Apologize to Miss Crowe now!"
Looking at Hazel, whom Grandma Shawn was pointing at, Katie felt very ashamed and angry. Suddenly, she seemed to come to her senses and stared at Hazel with a look of shock on her face.
"What, what did you say? Who do you say you are?! Are you Hazel Crowe? How could it be possible?!" Katie looked at her unwillingly, her eyes full of disbelief!
No, impossible!
This woman was one of Joshua's secret mistresses. How could she be Hazel Crowe?
If she was Hazel Crowe, didn't she offend both Hazel Crowe and Joshua Denmark?!
She couldn't afford such a consequence!
