Chasing The Fierce Heiress

“Hazel, we do not have a rendezvous.” Joshua was dissatisfied.

“Who? What? Huh? Who said that we have a rendezvous?” Hazel’s angry face turned redder.

“So even if Ivan is back, he is not like he is catching us with our pants down.” Joshua looked at her with questioning eyes, “What are you afraid of?”

“Who said that I am afraid?” Hazel went mad, “Nothing is going on with Ivan!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Duly noted.” Joshua twitched his lips.

What? Hazel looked at him, astounded.

That’s not right! She had nothing to do with Ivan, but she also had nothing to do with Joshua either!

Why did she sound like she was explaining to him?

Just when she was about to fight back, Joshua calmly explained, “Your parents called you yesterday but didn’t get through, so they called your roommate. Although your roommate explained to them, they probably did not buy it and will probably show up at the university.”

“Is that the truth?” Hazel was astounded.

It seemed like her parents misunderstood the situation because she had her phone turned off.

In that case, she really should go back to the university as soon as possible. Her parents cared about her very much, so they would likely drive to the university.

Has she misunderstood Joshua all along?

Hazel looked at him with a little embarrassment.

“Hazel! Where have you been hiding?” Outside the door, an angry voice came.

Then the door was pushed open quickly. Claire was standing at the doorway, and she was somewhat surprised when she saw Joshua in Hazel’s room.

But when Claire saw Hazel’s luggage that Joshua had packed, she was outraged, “Hazel! We really misread you. You turned out to be a dirty thief! Are you planning to run away with your accomplice after you steal our things?”

Hazel couldn’t help but frown, “Claire, did you misunderstand something? What thief?”

Ivan and the others rushed into Hazel’s room. Seeing Joshua in the room, Ivan’s expression changed from relief that Hazel was safe to jealousy.

“Hazel, who is he? Is he your boyfriend?” Ivan looked at Joshua unhappily. Hazel hesitated for a moment.

Hazel would not like to disclose the identity of Joshua to avoid a lot of problems. As for her relationship with Joshua… Hazel was also perplexed on that part.

What’s more, she didn’t really like the tone of Ivan’s questioning.

“I’m a friend of Hazel’s. I came here to pick her up.” Joshua said.

“See, I am right about them! They just want to steal something and run!” Claire sneered.

Karla stumbled in behind the crowd and saw the situation. She couldn’t help but feel happy.

Now everyone in the crowd thought Hazel was a thief. It looked like she could not get away with that easily.

“What’s wrong with your ears?” Joshua’s look got a little cold, “Or are you unable to understand English?”

“You, you…!” Claire didn’t expect Joshua to dare to ridicule her like this!

“Dear Claire, ” Hazel couldn’t help but frown, “Why do you keep saying that I stole your stuff? What have I stolen from you?”

“Are you still pretending?” Claire snorted, “Now, where is my camera?”

“Here you are.” Hazel picked up the camera from the table and handed it to her, “I helped to get it back. A while ago…”

Claire grabbed the camera, opened the camera bag, and checked it carefully.

“Hazel, enough of your lies!” Karla hurriedly interrupted her and added, “You clearly wanted to steal Claire’s camera and got caught on the spot. Now you still want to act like a nice person? If you didn’t steal the camera, why is it in your hands? You even pack up your luggage! You wanted to run away with what you stole before we got back! I suggest we should check her bag and find out what else she stole from us?”

Two boys in the crowd looked at each other for a second and stepped forward. They were really planning to search for Hazel’s luggage.

“How dare you!” Joshua stepped forward, his face cold and terrible.

The two boys were a little shocked by the superior temperament radiated from Joshua. They hesitated.

Hazel hurriedly pulled Joshua’s arm and whispered, “What are you doing? Want to fight with them?”

If they began fighting, this thing would surely went out of control.

“Look at them.” Joshua glanced at the crowd in the room, “Who you regard as friends may not be friendly to you.”

Hazel was also shocked.

She was even more shocked Ivan did not say anything when others framed her.

“Karla, you or anyone should know why I got the camera.” Hazel took a deep breath and said, “I did not steal the camera. If you don’t believe me, call the police.”

“Forget it, this may be a misunderstanding.” Ivan broke his silence and said, “The police will make things ugly. We are all friends, after all. And you got your camera back, right, Claire?”

Hazel’s heart feels even colder.

Ivan didn’t want to call the police not because he trusted her, but because he did not want to cause a scene?

After she checked her camera, Claire looked at Hazel and said, “Even if I don’t care about the camera, what about Karla? Hazel pushed Karla down the hillside, and Karla sprained her foot. How can we just let it go?”

“You said that I pushed Karla down the hill?” Hazel sneered.

Now Hazel finally understood. It turned out Karla was the one who framed her. This group of people was really ridiculous.

“Of course, you pushed me!” A little panic flashed in Karla’s eyes. The next moment, Karla said, “Hazel, do you want to say that it was I who pushed you?”

“But you did push me…” Hazel was depressed.

“How can you be so bold, Hazel? Now you want Karla to take the blame for you?”

“If Karla pushed you, then why is Karla the wounded one but not you?”

Listening to their accusations, Hazel clenched her fists.

Hazel knew they were confused between right and wrong. She really wanted to solve the problem with a good old fashion fight!

“Hazel, this is your fault. Please apologize to Karla.” Ivan’s face was ugly.

“What did you just say?” Hazel looked at him with disbelief. Her hope vanished completely.
