Chapter 928 - 216: She Was Helpless



"You promised me you could win over Hazel in one week, but now? Do you admit defeat in two days? Richard, what do you mean? Did you fall for Hazel?"

Listening to her interrogation, Richard only felt cold. She did not care about what he encountered at all, and she did not ask.

He said with disappointment, "Susan, why don\'t you ask me what happened?

Can you stop blaming me and doubting me?"

Susan was stunned. She asked, "What happened yesterday?"

"...Nothing." Richard suddenly got a little angry. When it happened, he felt humiliated and shameful in front of Hazel, he did not tell anyone else what had happened. Susan was his favorite girl, he was not going to tell her what he went through.

Susan certainly saw that Richard was hiding something from her. She kept asking, but Richard wouldn\'t tell her, she decided to ask Richard\'s friends that were at his apartment, but they clearly did not know.

Susan realized that Richard must have created a scene where he would be the hero to save Hazel, but it obviously failed, or else he would not give up.

Susan didn\'t know what those hooligans did to Richard, nor did she know how deep his psychological pain was. She thought Richard just felt that he owed Hazel, so he couldn\'t do any harm to her.

She kept pushing Richard to continue to find Hazel with an excuse for gratitude, but Richard was not willing, and he got upset with Susan like never before.

Susan was furious and determined, she didn\'t want to give up, but Richard was unwilling to cooperate. She was helpless.

Hazel enjoyed the peace and quiet for a few days and passed her exam with flying colors.

The company\'s business was running smoothly, but the animated film that she invested in would be released in theatres. Hazel was overwhelmed.

Although she was very optimistic about the film, it was hard to predict the outcome, not to mention the risk of investing in movies. With the film being released, they would find out the results, and so she naturally worried.

Hazel decided to wait patiently, but she did buy dozens of tickets to take the children from the orphanage to the movie with her and Joshua.

When they arrived to pick up the children, they heard quarreling coming from Jennie Collins\'s room.

"What happened?" Hazel frowned, "Is there something wrong with Aunt Jennie?"

"I\'ll check it out," Joshua said faintly. "Hazel, go see the kids first. We don\'t want them to get scared."

"Good idea." Hazel nodded, but she was curious about the quarrel.

"...It was you who took our son away. Now you don\'t know where he is? Do you think we are stupid? You are a vicious woman. Is it that my son is now famous, and you want to hide him from us?"

"What do you mean by I took him away? In the beginning, you decided to sell your own son. I couldn\'t stand it, so I paid the money and took him away. After decades, you suddenly remember that he was your son? When you sold him when you wanted to throw him away, why didn\'t you remember that he was your son..."

"Okay, we get it, you are just asking for a price..."

As Hazel walked farther away, the sound of the arguing gradually became unclear.

Although the situation was not clear, Hazel began to admire Jennie more and more. She not only had to take care of so many children but even had to deal with some awful adults. If she were not tough, she would not be able to protect the children of the orphanage.

Hazel had reached the children\'s classroom when they saw her, they all ran to hug her.

"Sister Hazel, you finally came to see us!"

Hazel smiled and touched their heads, "I am not only coming to see you. Today I am taking you to watch a movie and eat something delicious, how about that?"

"Great!" The children cheered.

"Please line up in a row!" Hazel hurriedly said.

The children lined up and followed Hazel out of the classroom and got on the bus hired by Joshua.

Hazel waited for a long time, and she didn\'t see Joshua. She was somewhat confused.

Sharon Davis had come with them, she was keeping the children under control on the bus. Hazel decided to get off the bus and go find Joshua.

When she got to Jennie\'s door, the previous quarrel had stopped, and the people seemed to have left.

Jennie\'s voice came from inside the door. She growled, "How can there be such a shameless family? I told you that should not help them! We all know what happened in the past. Joshua, you don\'t owe them anything at all!"

Hazel stopped her tracks.

What happened in the past? It was not the first time she heard the term.

She still remembered when she came to the orphanage last time, Sharon also mentioned the things in the past. Sharon said that since then, Joshua had become alienated from anyone. Hazel had been concerned about it, but then she was injured, and Joshua spoiled her, so she completely forgot about it.

She heard the term again, though. What happened in the past? She couldn\'t guess, but she felt at least that it was important to Joshua.

"Helping them is easy." Joshua said faintly, "It doesn\'t take much effort. Aunt Jennie, you can rest assured that although I help them, I have my limits..."

Suddenly, Joshua stopped and looked back in amazement. "Hazel? When did you come in?"

"I just arrived," Hazel said hurriedly. "I didn\'t see you on your way back, so I decided to come to check on you."

Joshua walked to her side, grasped her hand, and gently explained, "Aunt Jennie had some trouble just now, and she was in a bad mood, so I was comforting."

"Oh..." Hazel nodded, "So shall we go?"

"Aunt Jennie, let\'s go." Joshua looked back at Jennie. "Hazel has come to invite you to go as well. Let\'s not make the children wait too long."

Jennie looked Hazel up and down. Hazel was a little nervous, but she felt Jennie\'s attitude toward her was much milder than last time.

"Hazel," Jennie looked at her meaningfully, "I have something to say to you."
