"What are you talking about?!" The Flores Family looked at her with surprise.
"Since all of you said that Joshua is your son, it's obvious that Joshua is the adopted son of Denmark Family," Hazel said quietly. She looked at Fred, "An adopted child is not the biological son of Denmark's Family. So, he is not qualified to inherit everything from the Denmark Family. Is that what you've been thinking, Director Cohen?"
Fred certainly thought that way, and so did other directors. It was just embarrassing that Hazel stated their true opinion in public, and he certainly wasn't going to admit it.
"All of us are well aware of what Joshua is capable of..." He began to divert the topic.
"So, what if he's an adopted child?" The Flores family argued, "Since the Denmark Family's daughter cannot be found, Denmark Group naturally belongs to Joshua!"
"How convenient for you." Hazel said faintly, "Unfortunately, Joshua not only retrieved the daughter of the Denmark Family but also returned all of the Denmark family's property to her. We can show you the property transfer document at any time. There is a signature on it with legal binding. That is to say, legally, Joshua has nothing now. Do you still want such a son?"
"Hazel..." Joshua sighed.
Hazel shook her head slightly, and she whispered, "Joshua, we can't continue to hide something so important."
Joshua pitied his eyes. Seeing that Hazel was very determined, he nodded his head.
The Flores family and Director Cohen were all stunned. They only had one sentence repeating in their heads, Joshua has nothing.
"But it's okay. He still has you, right?" Hazel chuckled, "You are his parents. Of course, you should raise him, and he should get married. Shouldn't you help him with a house or a car?"
They were all in a panic. They wanted to claim Joshua as their son only for the property of the Denmark family, but if he had nothing, why would they want him?
"He is not our son!" Caroline hurriedly said, "Why should we support him?"
"Right, right!" Lanny added. "Our son had problems with his legs when he was born, or else why should we sell him?"
"He not only had a bad leg but also had congenital heart disease. They told us that when he was born. The doctor said he probably wouldn't survive to be an adult. He died early, right?" Caroline said harshly, "We don't run an orphanage. He can find others to be his parents!"
Everyone's mouth was wide open. Everyone was impressed by the change of attitude of the Flores family! Their greed was as much as their heartlessness.
"Wait!" Fred looked suspiciously at Joshua. He was too shocked for a while. Now he couldn't help but ask Joshua, "You found the child of Marcus and Cate? Who is she? And, where is she? Why didn't you tell us...?"
"It's me." Hazel smiled.
Fred looked at Hazel in shock. In fact, he had always noticed the girl who was with Joshua. Although he hadn't spoken to Hazel, he felt good about her and as if there was something familiar about her.
Her eyes reminded him of her parents. Did that explain why he sensed something familiar about Hazel?
Henry, Caroline, and Lanny had their mouths wide open, they were shocked but suddenly became furious. How could Hazel be the missing daughter of the Denmark family? This must be an act put on Joshua and Hazel!
Rachel caught Hazel's wrist incredulously and asked in surprise, "Hazel, what's going on?!"
There was some guilt in Hazel's eyes. She never told her true identity to her foster parents because she was afraid it would affect their relationship.
She had no choice now but to disclose her identity. And she believed that her relationship with the Crowe family had never been sustained by blood but by the fact that they had been so loving to her for the entire life.
"Mom, it is okay, I know that you and dad adopted me. I also know that you have been secretly searching for my biological parents." Hazel whispered.
"You know everything..." Rachel looked as if she had been hit with a truck. Even though she always wanted to tell Hazel and help her find her biological parents, she was overwhelmed by the situation.
"Well, but I just found out not that long ago." Hazel nodded. She explained, "It turns out I wasn't abandoned. I was taken away by an enemy of the Denmark Family. Whether it was Joshua or my parents, they never stopped looking for me. Joshua held a surrogacy competition just to find me."
Rachel slowly came back to reality. It seemed as if Hazel was telling the truth. However, Rachel still didn't know how to face it.
"Fake! It's all faked!" Caroline stared at Joshua in anger. "Joshua, did you deliberately lie to us so that we would change our mind?!"
"You are not worth a lie from me." Joshua looked at them coldly. His patience was exhausted.
"Hey, what's so important even if you are the biological daughter of Denmark's family?" Henry said reluctantly, "I have heard that your parents originally wanted to adopt my brother! You were taken away because you weren't the lucky ones. The Denmark Group property all belongs to our family!"
"Yes! You should give it to us!" His parents followed.
Everyone looked at them sarcastically. This family kept stimulating their lowered cognitive limits.
"Your son was not lucky either!" Rachel suddenly angered, "He was a child who had not been adopted, but you still want to occupy the property of the real daughter of Denmark Family! Do you even know how to write the word shameless?"
Joshua suddenly stepped toward Lanny and Caroline, their legs went weak, and they almost fell to the ground.
"You, what do you want to do?" They held each other steady and glared at him.
"Want to know why I have been helping you all the time?" Joshua said faintly, "Your son, named Jughead. He once told me that he gives you a good life when he becomes rich. And then, he would take it away, and you would return to Hell again. That way, you would regret that you abandoned him. I am not him. I didn't want you to experience that. But now..."
