Chapter 1344 - 632: Stacy Has An Accident

"What kind of spell has that woman cast on you to make you believe her so stubbornly?" Ted was furious. He really didn't expect in the face of the solid evidence, Joshua would still refuse to face reality!

"Mr. King," said Joshua, looking at him indifferently, "I didn't come today to hear your lecture. I just want to have a good talk with you the last time. I want to ask you a question. Do you really not think there's something wrong with this video?"

Joshua pointed to the screen. "Even if the face of the woman in it looks exactly like Hazel's, normally a person wouldn't specially ask someone else to videotape the scene while m.a.k.i.n.g. .l.o.v.e and look in the direction of the camera every now and then. Was the woman afraid that others couldn't see her face? It was a very obvious frame-up. Are you really unable to find it?"

Ted thought Joshua's remarks were very ridiculous. He had been misunderstanding Hazel, so the first time he saw the videos, he firmly believed the woman in the videos was Hazel! How could he possibly change his opinion of her because of a few words from Joshua?

"Maybe this kind of woman like her has some peculiarity! Maybe she videotaped the scenes to enjoy them for herself, but they ended up in someone else's hands. She deserves it!" Ted said in anger. "Joshua, there are so many good women out there, why do you have to only like a woman like Hazel?"

"When you mention good women, do you mean Madeline Carter, who is scheming, or Cynthia, who is naive and stupid?" Joshua spoke sarcastically.

Ted was a little awkward. It was true that Madeline and Cynthia weren't really good. He coughed. "There are other women besides them."

"Do other women have anything to do with me? They're not Hazel." Joshua looked at him with deep eyes. "Just like you. Since there are so many women in the world, why are you only with my mother?"

If it weren't for Simon's statement that there had never been any other women around Ted over these years, Joshua would not have tolerated Ted's behavior again and again.

"How can she be compared with Stacy?" Ted said with disdain.

Joshua' eyes were cold. Since Ted said that, it would be useless for Joshua to say anything more

But Ted wasn't willing to give up. He sighed and persuaded Joshua in a rarely gentle voice, "Joshua, wake up. This woman is not a nice person. You'd better break up with her at once. These videos were probably made right after you have an accident. The child in her belly may not be yours."

"Please behave yourself, Mr. King." Joshua' eyes turned cold. He said coldly, "No one is allowed to say any insulting remarks about my wife or my child in front of me!"

"You...!" Ted thought Joshua was really crazy. He spoke incredulously. "What's wrong with you? How could you be so befuddled because of a woman?"

"Mr. King, you're the one who's befuddled, not me. We have nothing to talk about. I'm leaving." Joshua opened his mouth calmly, not wanting to talk to Ted anymore.

Ted was the kind of person who would never believe he had done something wrong unless he suffered a lot.

"Stop!" Ted shivered with anger.

"Mr. King," said Joshua, turning around slowly, "I suggest you should not keep me f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y. Do you think I would come here without any preparation?"

Ted looked at him with mixed emotions. He really didn't expect that even the videos would not be enough to restore their relationship.

"How on earth can you believe me?" Ted suppressed his anger.

Joshua thought for a while before his eyes fell on the screen. "It's not hard. If you can find the men in the videos and get them to confront you."

The men in the videos didn't show their faces, but he could still find them with Ted's ability if he wanted to.

Ted would know the woman filming on these videos couldn't be Hazel as long as Ted found the men in the videos. Besides, if Ted found them, it was unlikely that Ted would say Hazel and Joshua deliberately faked it.

"Good! I'll find them and let you give up hope!" Ted agreed angrily.

"Mm," Joshua said coldly and walked away.

After he left, the butler of the manor came in.

"Why do you just let Master Joshua go like that, master?" asked the butler with regret.

"What if I don't let him go?" Ted looked very unhappy. "Keeping him would only make the relationship between us worse!"

"And what are you going to do?" asked the butler respectfully. "Will you let this incident go?"

"How can I possibly let it go?" Ted looked more unhappy. "At least, for now, we have to figure something out!"

***

Ted didn't call Joshua after the meeting. Joshua thought Ted was looking for the men in the videos, so Joshua didn't pay much attention to Ted because he and Simon were busy looking for Mandy.

One day, Simon suddenly called anxiously. "Joshua, bring some guards here! I've got a clue to Mandy Wilson's hiding place!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Joshua quickly agreed.

Then, with some of his men, he went to join Simon.

Hazel stayed home, waiting for him to go home.

Somehow, her eyelids keep twitching, and she thought something bad was going to happen.

Suddenly, her phone rang. The abrupt sound startled her.

There was an unknown number on the screen. When she answered the phone, Cynthia's exasperated voice came out. "Hazel Crowe, why are you unwilling to go out to meet me?"

"I won't want to meet with you." Without hesitation, Hazel hung up the phone and blocklisted the number.

Over the past few days, Cynthia had been harassing Hazel by calling her with different phone numbers and forcing her to meet up, but how could Hazel possibly agree? Upon hearing Cynthia's voice, Hazel hung up.

However, hardly had she backlisted this number when her phone unexpectedly rang again.

She answered the phone impatiently. "I said, 'I won't meet with you.' Am I clear?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then Ted's voice sounded. "Hazel Crowe, it's me."

Hazel froze.

Ted actually called her. This really surprised her. She had thought Ted would hate her guts after watching all the videos, and it was for Joshua's sake that Ted didn't have her killed.

"Mr. King, what can I do for you?" Hazel spoke lightly.

"Stacy has an accident." There was a touch of nervousness in Ted's voice.
