The conversation between Katie and Hanson was replayed verbatim at the banquet hall.
All the people turned to look at Grandma Shawn. Katie's constant calling Grandma Shawn 'the old fool' made it a great irony after Grandma Shawn had just praised Katie for her kindness and filial piety.
"How could that be! This bitch!" Grandma Shawn went crazy and kept pulling at her gray hair.
She always thought she was the supreme ruler of the Shawn family and all the fate of the Shawn family members was in her hands, but now she found out that she had been a joke and had been tricked by Katie! She had been used by Katie, her granddaughter, who was so compliant on the surface but, in fact, called her 'old fool' behind her back.
The next moment, Grandma Shawn rushed out of the hall. It seemed she went to look for Katie. Seeing this, Director Bryant, who was already very embarrassed, chased after her. He looked like he wanted to make it clear to Grandma Shawn.
Although the two of them left in a hurry, they left a lot of laughing stocks which were enough for the guests to gossip about.
Now both the Shawn family and the Bryant family lost face. They would likely become laughing stocks no matter where they went in the future.
Indifferently, Joshua glanced at the banquet hall. Then he left the party to meet Hazel.
Hazel was waiting in the lounge when there was a knock on the door.
She opened the door. It was a man who was dressed as a waiter and stood outside. The waiter bowed his head, looking humble. "Miss Crowe, Master Joshua has a surprise for you. Please follow me."
Surprise? Hazel was somewhat amused. It was already a great surprise that Joshua threw this party for her and helped her avenge at the banquet. But he actually had also prepared another surprise?
"Fine." Hazel nodded with a light smile and turned to shut the door.
Following the waiter, she suddenly felt something was wrong. Her eyes fell on the waiter's legs, and her face suddenly became serious.
"Where are we going?" she suddenly asked.
"You'll know when you come with me," the waiter replied.
She stopped abruptly and stared at the waiter coldly. "I'm not going."
The waiter stopped, turned around before he stood straight.
Now he had completely lost the humility. He had a little disgusting, terrifying odor.
Hazel was no stranger to this kind of odor. She had been with Rachel and had seen several homicidal maniacs who also had this kind of uncomfortable smell before, but it was not as strong as that of the man in front of her. He was very dangerous!
"How did you find out?" The man asked blankly, with an expressionless face.
Hazel was alert all over. She knew that if the person wanted to attack her, she would never have any chance to escape!
"There were guards here. Besides," Hazel said in a deep voice. The first thing she noticed was that there were no bodyguards in the corridor, which was not normal at all. Taking a deep breath, she continued, "You're not like a waiter at all. Even it's the best waiter, it is impossible for him to walk without a sound in the least!"
But the man made it... Hazel's heart became heavier because she was faced with a more horrifying person than she thought.
"I see. I'll pay attention to it later," the man said, looking indifferently at Hazel, "You have two choices now. First, come with me obediently. Second, I knock you out and take you away."
Hazel bit her lip, and her eyes flashed with a gleam. Then she said, "I'll go with you!"
Only when she was awake could she have a chance to call for help. If she were knocked out, she would have no chance.
"Good." The man nodded.
But at the same time, Hazel suddenly felt a pain in the back of her neck, and then everything before her eyes turned black!
Hazel's face looked somewhat amazing. "You...!"
Before she fainted, Hazel heard the man say, "I agreed, but my partner didn't."
Hazel's heart was full of helplessness. It seemed that she was kidnapped again...

Joshua had just taken the elevator upstairs when he saw a waiter pushing a trolley into the elevator nearby.
Joshua frowned doubtfully and looked subconsciously at the trolley, but the elevator door had slowly closed.
He turned around, and his face paled all of a sudden! The next moment, he ran quickly to the lounge room!
The door of the lounge was pushed open, and he looked at the empty lounge with a sudden chill on his face.
"Jaxson!" Joshua shouted, his voice trembling with a panic he had never had before. "Stop the trolley!"
"Aye!" Although Jaxson did not understand the reason, he quickly agreed.
Nonetheless, before he could move, Joshua ran towards the elevator ahead of him.
Joshua quickly pressed the button of the elevator. Noticing the elevator did not stop at all, he angrily pushed open the door of the safety staircase!
The waiter quietly took off his clothes in the elevator. In the twinkling of an eye, he became a guest in a suit.
He pushed the trolley calmly and stepped out of the elevator as if he was just a guest leaving the hotel, and he was so ordinary that he had nothing noticeable.
Then a business car stopped right in front of him. A man got off and helped him put the box on the trolley into the trunk.
Hazel was missing.
The guests at the banquet were completely unaware of the news.
Joshua's face was so pale because he couldn't catch up with the man, and when Jaxson went to check the monitoring system, he only found that the system had been broken at that moment.
All of this was a premeditated kidnapping!
What annoyed Joshua most was that he didn't even know who was doing it! He had thought that he had helped Hazel solve all the dangers, but she was still in danger!
"Jaxson, catch Simon and bring him here!" Joshua said in a cold voice. Now there was no one else but him who had the best chance to take her away!
Before Jaxson could agree, Joshua added, "Remember, I'm talking about catching him but not inviting him! As long as he is alive, it doesn't matter even if he is injured or disabled! "
Jaxson wore a stern face as he immediately understood the seriousness of the incident. He quickly agreed.
After Jaxson left, Joshua's phone rang. He looked at the incoming number and hung up, a little unhappy.
But soon the phone rang again.
Joshua pursed his lips slightly, his eyes fixed on the number.
