All the people attending the party were either ladies or young masters from rich, powerful families. Even ordinary people would look down on a scammer, let alone these people!
So, they stared at Madeline very unkindly, which made Madeline very embarrassed!
Madeline took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. Then she looked at Hazel innocently. "Hazel, you deliberately say this kind of words which can easily mislead people. Won't you have a guilty conscience?
"You indeed met a person who faked an injury to scam you that day, but it was I who helped you out on the spot. I'm not asking for your gratitude. After all, you're the owner of Denmark Group now, so how could you possibly take me seriously? But please, at least, do not slander me…."
Hazel looked at her with a half-smile. Madeline's acting was not bad. As she said these words, the eyes of the people looking at the two women changed. They seemed to believe Madeline directly. Madeline helped Hazel, who was scammed, but Hazel, who despised her, not only didn't appreciate her help but slandered her on occasion.
She slowly exhaled with a blank expression on her face. "Do you mean I slander you?"
"Miss Crowe, I know you probably didn't mean it," Madeline said with a colder smile. "Maybe you just can't remember it. But it doesn't matter. After all, I'm only nobody. I won't care about it."
She seemed to be giving in, but she was making concessions to gain advantages. Madeline said she didn't care, but she didn't care in the eyes of others because she was forced to suffer grievances.
In this way, Madeline's several sentences made Hazel 'become' a bully and an ungrateful woman.
"I can't believe it…."
"She's too pathetic. I hope Hazel won't become angry from embarrassment."
"Yeah, or this woman would be in trouble..."
Listening to the discussion, Hazel curled up her lips. She still remained calm and opened her mouth in an indifferent manner. "You said I slandered you, but that day I found the scammer. He admitted personally that you had bought him over and deliberately asked him to scam me."
Hazel only met Madeline once. After meeting her that day, Hazel felt somewhat uncomfortable, so she asked Crystal to investigate. However, after the investigation, the truth was really the same as she had speculated.
The scammer was the accomplice of Madeline, who helped Hazel. Unfortunately, Madeline's identity was too mysterious for Crystal to find out her real identity.
Hazel had thought they would meet again since Madeline "happened to bump into her" in that way. After all, Madeline's target was her. How could Madeline not go after her?
Hazel waited for days, but Madeline still didn't show up. Of course, Hazel didn't know Joshua had Madeline locked up, so it was almost impossible for Hazel to find Madeline even if she wanted to.
Then Hazel forgot about this incident. After all, that was just a strange woman who didn't deserve Hazel's too much attention. But Hazel didn't expect this woman showed up again after such a long time, so Hazel couldn't think of who she was for a moment.
Madeline was panic-stricken internally. Did Hazel go to that man? How was that possible?
At first, she felt this was a very unimportant trifle, so she completely forgot about the scammer she hired, but now Hazel got something on her.
Taking a deep breath, Madeline suppressed the panic in her heart and wore a face with grievance and tolerance. "Hazel, I never expected you would behave like that! I did you a favor. But you don't appreciate it. Instead, you slander me. But I don't blame you. However, as the hostess of Denmark Group, how can you slander me over again and again?! Do you think you can be confused right and wrong by saying such nonsense? If you don't have any evidence, take it all back!"
What if Hazel found it out? Madeline wouldn't admit it! Anyway, if she didn't admit it, everyone would think Hazel was slandering her! She didn't believe Hazel really had any evidence!
"Who says I don't have evidence?" Hazel said in an indifferent voice, "I have an interesting recording in my hand."
Madeline's face turned pale instantly, but she quickly calmed down and gave a sneer. "Are you going to say you videotaped that guy testifying against me? Who knows if you colluded with him to make such evidence to blacken my reputation?!"
"Rest assured. It's a recording made when you bought him over," Hazel said, slightly curling up her lips, "and some pictures were taken when you met him. Those are the pictures that the man left behind when he was trading with you out of carefulness."
"That, that's impossible!" Madeline said in surprise! She was very careful at that time. She didn't meet the man until she was sure there was no wiretapping or videotaping equipment on him. How could he keep evidence? Was she negligent?
"Oh?" Hazel looked at her with a half-smile. "That's quite funny, young lady. Facing this kind of situation, ordinary people wouldn't say he didn't do that or something like that. But why did you say 'that's impossible? What's impossible? It's impossible to keep evidence?"
Hearing these sharp questions, Madeline's face turned increasingly pale.
Hazel smilingly looked at Madeline and then said, "Crystal, give me your phone..."
Since Joshua was not around, Hazel naturally took Crystal with her to the party. Crystal was speechless in the heart. In reality, the evidence Hazel had just casually said didn't exist at all, but Crystal pretended to hand her phone to Hazel.
Seeing Hazel was so confident, Madeline had a guilty conscience. She was still not sure if Hazel had evidence, but she couldn't afford to bet.
She was here to put Hazel down. If she ended up being driven away, the gains wouldn't make up for her losses!
"With your identity, how easy it is to make up a recording like that!" Madeline gritted her teeth. "Miss Crowe, since you said that I deliberately asked a person to scam you, then could you tell me why I did that?"
"How can I know why?" Hazel smiled. "Anyway, you didn't do that to help me."
Madeline was very complacent. Sure enough, Hazel was just so-so. She hurried to speak, "I did help you, but you said I didn't do that for your own good, then why did I do that? What do you think you have worth by creating an incident for...."
Before she could finish the sentence, Madeline's face turned pale. She actually walked straight into a trap laid by Hazel!
In an instant, the people who were originally onlookers changed sides again. After all, Hazel remained calm from beginning to end. Most importantly, Madeline's words woke them up.
Why did the woman ask someone to scam Hazel and then deliberately save Hazel? Didn't she just want to be close to Hazel?
