Chapter 1271 - 559: Stop Deceiving Yourself

After that, Madeline really sent some pictures to Hazel's phone.

In the pictures, Joshua was lying on a bed, shirtless, with a burly physique familiar to Hazel. In some pictures, his eyes were slightly closed, while in others, they were open but seemed empty.

Hazel looked at the pictures coldly.

Simon tried to say something, but when he saw Hazel's face, he whispered, "Pretty good figure…."

"Do you see these pictures?" Madeline said triumphantly, "You know Joshua's temper. If he didn't agree, was I able to take the pictures of him?"

"These pictures can't prove anything," Hazel said coolly. "You said you took care of him when he was hurt, so it shouldn't be hard for you to take a few pictures of him secretly while he is not able to move, should it?"

"Hazel, stop deceiving yourself!" Madeline clenched her teeth when she found the plan didn't work. "He traded you for me! That means I'm more important than you are! Besides, your Denmark Group is in trouble right now, isn't it?"

Hazel's heart sank.

"To tell you the truth, Joshua is the one who makes trouble for the branch of Denmark Group!" Madeline gave out a sneer, "He did all this to avenge my suffering! What do you think you are to him while he dares to destroy the Denmark Group that he has been developing for me?"

Hazel looked up at Jaxson with cold eyes. "Is that true?"

"... It's like Mr. President's style." Jaxson hesitated for a bit before he finally spoke up his inference.

Hazel tightened her fingers. She knew that since Jaxson said "like," it must be Joshua.

On the other end of the line, Madeline smirked, "Hazel, do you believe me now? I'm telling you, Joshua doesn't like shameless women like you at all! Soon after he disappeared, you actually have an affair with other men and are even pregnant with a bastard! Are you mad at me for listening to this?

"I'm telling you, the best thing to do is to make you have a miscarriage in anger! A shameless woman like you shouldn't live in this world! Why don't you kill yourself…."

"Enough!" Simon thundered. He couldn't bear to hear such harsh words.

He was about to hang up when Hazel stopped him again.

"Hazel, do you like to hear her swear at you?" Simon asked angrily.

Hazel gave him a speechless glare. "It's you who likes to be sworn at."

"Then why are you still listening?" Simon was even angrier.

"Stay out of it. I can handle it myself," Hazel said crossly.

Madeline swore more violently when she heard Simon's voice.

"Shut up, Madeline Carter," Hazel spoke in an indifferent tone. "I know what you're up to. Don't you want to make me angry and even have a miscarriage? I'm telling you, I won't let you succeed."

Madeline's heart sank. She didn't expect Hazel would be able to guess what she was up to! Having said that, she was not scared at all because she knew exactly what Hazel cared about.

She gave out a sneer, "Hazel, you don't know how passionate Joshua is when he's in bed with me, do you? I'll tell you everything, so you know how much we love each other…."

"You'd better keep these psychos.e.x.u.a.lity words and enjoy them in your dreams." Hazel's eyes turned cold. "But you've infuriated me. Madeline, I'm telling you, it's not over!"

With that, Hazel hung up. Then she directly blacklisted the number. She didn't think she could get any useful information from Madeline's mouth.

"Hazel, don't believe her. This kind of woman like Madeline always tells lies," Simon persuaded Hazel.

"I certainly don't believe her," Hazel gritted her teeth. "But I'm really angry right now. Even if what Madeline said is false, Joshua indeed abducted me, he indeed traded me for Madeline, and now it's also true that he makes trouble for the branch of Denmark Group!"

"Then… what are you going to do?" Simon looked at her anxiously. Hazel had a point. He was worried that she might do something impulsive.

"I need your help." She looked at him with a solemn expression.

"... What do you want?" For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"When you let Madeline go, you didn't just let her go, did you?" She looked at him with deep eyes. "Did you put a locator or a bug on her?"

"... Yes. What do you want?" he asked warily, and his bad feeling grew stronger and stronger.

"Lend me enough men," she said, clenching her teeth. "I'm going to get Joshua back and question him! Since he kidnapped me, I'll also kidnap him!"

This time, Joshua's mysterious behavior really pissed her off. Hazel didn't care what his reasons were, and she had to find out why he played a trick on her!

"..." Simon wondered if he had heard something wrong. "What's the matter with you two? Is it funny to kidnap each other?"

"You don't need to care about it," Hazel said, looking at him with a serious face. "Tell me if you will help me. If you refuse, I'll ask someone else for help!"

"All right. How can I not help you?" Simon sighed helplessly. At this point, he had no choice but to help her.

Soon, Simon called upon a group of men. Then he and Hazel led the large group of people to Joshua's villa.

After a busy morning in his study, Joshua speculated that Hazel should wake up now, so he stopped working and went back to his bedroom.

However, when he pushed open the door, he found the bedroom empty.

Joshua frowned slightly as he asked in a deep voice, "Barry, where's Hazel?"

Barry had come back with Madeline. Joshua's question made him very guilty instantly.

"Is Miss Crowe not in the room?" Barry pretended to know nothing. "I'll ask our men to look for her..."

"Barry Watson!" Joshua's voice went cold. His piercing eyes seemed to pierce Barry's heart. "What's going on?"
