Hazel didn't tell her Joshua's real identity because she knew that if Fanny learned that there was a Denmark Group behind her, Matt and Emma would directly give up any plan they had and try to pester and play up to her.
After all, no matter what Matt's family tried to get from her, they might be able to get more from Denmark Group.
Hazel's offer was enough to help Fanny get out of the living hell. She wanted to see if Fanny wanted to be saved.
Fanny bit her lip closely, still in disbelief.
Unfortunately, what she couldn't believe wasn't that she had a chance to leave, but was that Hazel actually was able to save her.
But she knew Hazel wouldn't lie. Now that Hazel had said that, she would definitely be able to do what she promised.
Fanny was not happy about this fact. Instead, her heart was filled with uncontrollable jealousy and hatred!
She had been growing up in Hazel's shadow. Hazel was beautiful and good at study. Her parents always praised Hazel in front of her and then scolded her for being a good-for-nothing who could not make them proud.
She didn't understand why Hazel, who was even adopted, was doted on while she was hated and abused by her parents even though she and Hazel were both girls.
All her unhappiness and jealousy remained buried in her heart, and as time went on, they all turned into endless hatred.
After she listened to her parents' advice, married, got pregnant, and earned a large amount of bride price for the family, her parents finally changed their attitude toward her and even praised her while criticizing Hazel in front of Hazel.
At that very moment, even if Fanny knew exactly what her life was really like, she still felt proud in the heart. In her opinion, it was the only time she defeated Hazel.
Therefore, she would obey her parents' orders and ask Hazel out, tricking her into going on a blind date during the Christmas season because she knew how bad the man was. Since her own life was so miserable, Hazel should marry a man worse than her husband and live a more miserable life than she did.
It didn't work out, but she didn't give up, so this time she helped her parents with their plans. She had already become twisted as she turned her own misery into hatred of Hazel.
Only now, however, did she realize how thoroughly she had lost.
Deep down, Fanny's heart had been filled with hatred, and she had never been so unwilling to be outdone. Why was fate so unfair? She was married to a sc.u.mbag, but Hazel had a man coming from a good family who loved her and cared about her.
Why did Hazel get all the good things?
Fanny couldn't watch Hazel live a good life! Even if Hazel could help her, she didn't want to say yes! If she said yes, she was admitting that she would never live a happy life like Hazel!
Hazel looked at Fanny quietly. She couldn't read her mind, so she couldn't guess what Fanny was thinking. But seeing Fanny had been hesitant for so long, Hazel knew Fanny didn't want to be saved.
"Hazel, this is too sudden. Can't you let me think for a while?" Fanny looked up at her with longing in her eyes. She couldn't say yes right away, but she had to find a way to keep Hazel.
Because Fanny knew clearly that if today's plan worked, even if Hazel had a very great marriage, Hazel would soon live a more miserable life than she!
Hazel let out a long breath slowly. "I get it."
Noticing she packed up and intended to leave directly, Fanny was worried instantly and hurried to say, "Hazel, don't get me wrong! I really want to say yes, but no matter how bad my parents are, they are still my parents! I'm not you.
"You know my character as I have been very timid. I do what my parents tell me to do. But you suddenly ask me to leave them, and of course, I can't make up my mind so soon..."
Hazel paused. It had to be said that Fanny had a point. Hazel was a little convinced at the thought of fanny's surroundings.
"How long will you think about it?" she asked.
"Give me a day, will you?" Fanny hastily opened her mouth. She knew Hazel's temper. If she said a long time, Hazel might walk away directly.
"Are you sure one day is enough?" Hazel frowned.
"Yes..." Fanny said with a look of gratitude. "Thank you very much, Hazel. I thought I could only live like that for the rest of my life, but you give me new hope. Let me buy a meal today; otherwise I will feel bad!"
Seeing she couldn't refuse, Hazel didn't say no.
Soon, the waitress brought the dishes. Fanny kept giving Hazel food and complaining to Hazel.
Hazel listened quietly. She didn't ask Fanny what on earth her parents were trying to do to her. First, Hazel was afraid that Fanny would be in a dilemma. Second, Hazel was afraid that Fanny would think she had just cheated on her before.
"Hazel, thanks for listening to me. Help yourself to more juice," Fanny said carefully.
The juice was delivered after they arrived, and Fanny had drunk it, too. It seemed the juice was completely normal. Hence, Hazel took a few sips of the juice. Fanny's eyes flashed with delight as she saw Hazel drink the juice.
Halfway through the meal, Hazel suddenly felt hot. She reached out to touch her cheek, which seemed very hot, too. She slightly narrowed her eyes.
"Hazel, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" asked Fanny suddenly.
Hazel's heart skipped a beat, and she was wide awake instantly. Fanny's smiling, the blurred face was in front of Hazel. There seemed to be a frightening hatred in Fanny's eyes.
Hazel couldn't help shaking her head. "I'm okay..."
"Oh, you look bad. How can you be okay?" Fanny walked to help her stand up directly. "Come on, I'll take you to rest."
"No need..." Hazel frowned and tried to push her away, but she felt she was a little weak, and her feet went weak somehow. It was like walking in the air!
Was she drugged?
Hazel's heart went cold, but why did the same juice only work for her? It didn't make sense.
Suddenly, Fanny grabbed Hazel's arm with a very ferocious look on her face. "Hazel, stop being brave and come with me obediently."
