Mandy was so frustrated that she was sobbing. She pointed angrily at Hazel. "You, you clearly did it on purpose!"
Hazel stood still, just staring at her, she did deliberately do it.
Mandy had tried to use Kathie to kill her, so she had already shown compassion by only using a fake gun to teach Mandy a lesson.
"I'm just playing with you," Hazel winked. "You're going to make a fuss, aren't you a bit unreasonable?"
Everyone felt very bitter. Did they come to be disrespected? What they had said was all repeated by Hazel.
"These two incidents aren't the same!" Fred choked back his anger. Joshua had been calculating, but he did not expect Hazel to be also so much like him. They had got the better of him, Mandy, and the other directors, making them suffer.
"Joshua, even if you want to protect Hazel and you're good friends with Isaac, do you think that is reason enough for the Anderson family will let go of this?" Fred questioned.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a noise came through the door.
"Let me in! We want to see Joshua!"
Fred looked out of the door and was relieved instantly. But he wore a worried expression in a twinkling. "Look, Mike and Amy have come to us. What should we do now?"
Hazel couldn't help but admire Mandy because this trick was really very wonderful.
Kathie's parents, Mike and Amy Anderson arrived so quickly that they didn't even have time to go visit their daughter. Someone must have tipped them off in advance, just to mislead them.
As long as Hazel refused to let Kathie off the hook, her parents would surely blame Hazel for all this.
Mike and Amy were famously protective of their family, and if she really offended them, they would not get away with it very easily.
"Let them come in," Joshua said quietly, "Hiding doesn't solve anything."
Seeing him so calm, Fred was upset immediately. Did Joshua have a solution? No, it was impossible, he knew how bad-tempered Mike and Amy could be. Besides, Kathie was born when they were older, so they loved her very much. As long as Hazel refused to let Kathie off the hook, they would make a scene.
Mike and Amy walked in. When Mike saw Joshua, he looked heartbroken. "Joshua, I am your uncle. I held you when you were very young. The friendship between our two families is very strong…"
Hazel looked at him in astonishment and couldn't help laughing in her head. Joshua wasn't a baby when he was adopted; how could he be held by Mike. His way of greeting was really actually kind of embarrassing.
However, he was not there to make friends, so he didn't really care about the details. He said angrily, "Even if Kathie did something wrong, you could tell me, and I would teach her a lesson. Or, you can just blame me for anything. She's so young. How can you put her in jail?"
"Yes, Kathie was a little naughty, but she is a kind child and doesn't even want to step on ants in an ordinary situation!" Amy glared at Hazel fiercely. "Which bitch put our daughter into jail?!"
"Don't be angry, aunt," Mandy glared at Hazel secretly before she immediately stepped forward to soothe Amy. "You can blame Hazel. I think there must be a misunderstanding. After all, Hazel said Kathie wasn't playing with her. Hazel isn't petty, how could she deliberately make things hard for your daughter? You can talk to her kindly, and I am sure the misunderstanding will be cleared up."
Hazel looked coldly at Mandy, whose words were like adding fuel to the fire.
"Misunderstanding?!" Amy glared at Hazel with hatred. "You disgusting woman! Why did you target my daughter and deliberately make things hard for her?!"
Joshua stepped forward without hesitation to keep Hazel back when he saw that Amy was about to rush at her. Amy clenched her teeth in anger as she looked into Joshua's cold eyes, but she stepped back in the end.
"It wasn't me who made things hard for your daughter," said Hazel quietly.
"Shut up!" Amy glared at her through her teeth. "You must release my daughter now! If anything happens to her, I will make you pay with your life…"
"Shut up!"
Before she finished the sentence, a severe voice came from the door, which silenced Mike and Amy immediately. They both stared in awe at the door.
Everyone was in a daze and completely confused. Who else would be at Denmark Residence? The directors were numb and starting to regret that they had decided to go there with Fred.
They had all been in such a hurry to run to Denmark Residence when they heard that the Anderson family and the Denmark family had a falling out. However, this incident was full of changes and twists that they did not dare to say anything more for fear that they would lose even more of their social status.
Everyone looked toward the door and saw Isaac walking in, holding on to Grandpa Anderson.
"Uncle," Mike walked quickly to Grandpa Anderson and cried, "you must help me this time! You also know Kathie is my darling daughter, but she has been unexpectedly hurt!"
"Don't worry," said Grandpa Anderson gravely. "I come specifically for this."
Mike gloated immediately and quickly followed behind Grandpa Anderson, with his wife by his side.
"Uncle Anderson," seeing it was Grandpa Anderson, Fred's heart missed a beat. He came up to him hastily and said uneasily, "Why did you bother to come here yourself? If there's anything you want, let's go and see you…"
"I have to come this time," said Grandpa Anderson seriously. "Fred, Kathie is my granddaughter, and I must get justice for her!"
Fred was delighted. Grandpa Anderson had always been fond of Joshua, so he had thought the situation would get better for Joshua, but he was there for Kathie. Fred did believe that Joshua would have no choice but to give in under pressure.
"You are so kind…" Fred said.
When Grandpa Anderson walked over to Joshua, someone brought a chair, but he refused to sit down.
Hazel got nervous. She remembered Grandpa Anderson, who was very kind to her before. However, she wondered if he came to denounce her. Suddenly, she saw Isaac next to him, who winked at her subtly.
