Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Joshua’s face clouded. Simon came too fast and at the wrong time, which made Joshua very unhappy.

But now Simon didn’t understand. Seeing Joshua’s face was so gloomy, Simon thought Joshua was fully convinced that he was behind it. For a moment, Simon felt a little angry and sad in the heart somehow.

“I said I really didn’t do those things. Do you believe it?” He gritted his teeth.

“Haha!” Hazel couldn’t help laughing.

She couldn’t help it when she saw Simon looking at them with a wounded face like a little girl who had been bullied.

Simon froze. No matter how angry he was, he noticed that things did not seem to be what he thought.

“Who said you did it?” Hazel asked, laughing.

“But Joshua sent me emails….” Simon was confused. If it hadn’t been for the two emails, he really wouldn’t have been so worried.

“Did the emails say anything?” Joshua spoke lightly.

“… Damn!” Simon came to his senses at long last. Joshua sent him an email, but it contained only so-called evidence; it didn’t show Joshua’s attitude at all!

“Then why did you wear such expressions?” He wore a speechless expression. “It almost scared me to death!”

“Come on, you sit down first, and we’ll get down to business.” Joshua looked grim. “What do you think of the contents of the mailboxes?”

Simon looked slightly cold. Now that he knew their attitudes, he didn’t have to worry. “The account is mine indeed, but I didn’t even know I had such an account. As for the man, although he is in the organization, there are many people in the organization. He didn’t show his own ability normally, I really do not know there is such a person. As for the rest, I can only say it is nonsense!”

“So someone secretly stole your account without you noticing?” Hazel asked. “I’m afraid a simple spy can’t do such a thing, right?”

Simon’s face turned pale. He had been worried that Joshua and Hazel might get him wrong, so he didn’t think carefully about it.

“I’ll investigate the people around me again,” he said in a serious tone.

“Is there anyone who you suspect?” asked Joshua lightly.

Simon looked a little troubled.

When he took over the organization, he had investigated the people around him. Those people who left were almost all his confidants. So he was very surprised to find there was such a situation. When it came to the people who he suspected, he couldn’t think of anyone in his heart.

“Have you forgotten someone?” Joshua suddenly asked. “A man who knows you well enough and wouldn’t make others easily suspect while doing wrong in your name.”

Simon paled. How could Simon not have thought of that person immediately after Joshua reminded him?

“Indeed,” Simon said with a wry smile, “If it is him, he would be able to do these things, and he has sufficient reasons… Besides, he has been running the organization for many years, so it is possible that he arranged a few spies around the old man.”

“Will you relent again this time?” Joshua asked earnestly. If Simon were to relent again, Joshua would have to consider whether he should…

“We’re even now,” Simon said with a slight chill in his eyes. “Besides, he shouldn’t target Hazel.”

“But although you will not relent, he seems to.” Joshua narrowed his eyes. “you know him better than we do. What do you think we can do to get him out?”

“… So you deliberately let people stop me because you’ve already got a plan?” Simon was speechless.

“What do you think?” Joshua gave him a light look.

Simon was a little stifled. But compared to Joshua and Hazel’s misunderstanding of him, this was a very good situation.

After a moment’s thinking, he said, “From what I know of him, whatever he does, he will do it with sufficient assurance. It must be because he planned to use Mandy for some other purposes that he selected her so early. He probably wouldn’t have attacked me if he hadn’t been stung by the fact that he knew you were alive. I’m afraid he will be doubly cautious this time. Driving a wedge between us is just the prelude to weakening us. He is going to break us down one by one. Presumably, he’ll do something to….”

He said nothing more, but his eyes fell anxiously on Hazel.

“Do both of you mean he would do something to me?” she asked.

They nodded with grave expressions.

“I don’t think so.” She hesitated for a moment and then said, “It’s too risky for him to kidnap me, or do anything to me. After all, I’m not going to allow them to take me away obediently. Moreover, he doesn’t know Joshua well, so he wouldn’t easily do anything to me, but…there was someone more likely to be in danger than me.”

Stacy!

Joshua and Simon looked at each other as their hearts sank.

Stacy couldn’t struggle herself. Besides, the person knew Ted very well. In addition, he had placed spies around Ted. If he did catch Stacy, he could even use her to intimidate them all. Stacy was indeed a more suitable target for him.

“We must stop him!” Simon said with a solemn face. “By the way, shall we warn the old man?”

“No,” said Joshua in a serious voice. “Given Ted’s conceited nature, if he knew it, he would only do a disservice. We had better keep it from him till it’s settled!”

***

Simon was stopped outside Joshua’s villa, and then it seemed that he had a conflict with Joshua and left in anger; what happened reached Ted’s ears.

When Ted knew these things, he was naturally worried. Even though he knew Joshua and he was on bad terms, he still called Joshua and Simon.

But neither Joshua nor Simon gave him face. They weren’t willing to talk with him.

A few days later, Simon found an excuse to leave Country M.

Ted really panicked. Only then did he realize how bad the relationship was between his two sons who didn’t just quarrel.

Now, although Ted was a stubborn old fool and didn’t know how to be a father, he was very eager to see his whole family could live peacefully together.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

So he had to call Joshua again.

“Joshua,” Ted said in a helpless tone, “as long as you and Simon are willing to make it up, I won’t interfere in your relationship with Hazel anymore.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. King, but you made two mistakes,” Joshua spoke lightly, his voice distant.

“Huh?” Ted had a bad feeling.

“First, I can’t make my peace with Simon. Second, my relationship with Hazel has nothing to do with you. Your trust in my heart is negative,” said Joshua coldly.
