The photographer grabbed the camera and said in astonishment, "No way. You are talking nonsense. Master Simon went out with Miss Nina of the Forbes family."
"Give it to me!" Ted said quietly. The photographer quickly handed the camera over.
Ted took the camera to take a close look at the photos. Soon, his face darkened.
He had watched his two sons put on their masks before he asked Joshua to start the opening dance with Cynthia Bryant.
During this period of time, Simon and Joshua changed not only their masks but also their clothes, but Ted didn't notice that. Then 'Simon' disappeared.
Because Simon used to take a fancy to a girl every time at a party and directly take the girl away, never staying stably at a party from the beginning to the end, so Ted didn't give it much thought.
Now Ted looked at the photos carefully and recognized the man on it was indeed Simon.
"Ridiculous!" said Ted, looking pale.
Hazel's eyes were slightly cold. She was really disappointed, so she said harsh words just now.
She hoped Joshua could have a complete family. That was why she was willing to give in to him when Ted gave her a hard time again and again, even when he played dirty.
However, the premise was that Ted really loved Joshua and wanted to be a good father. Having said that, it turned out Ted couldn't even recognize Joshua and blamed it on Joshua. Did Ted really care about Joshua, his son?
Since Ted treated Joshua so badly, why did she need to force Joshua to do something he didn't like?
Joshua was once an orphan, but her biological parents had given him full parental love. Her adoptive parents also treated him like their own son. However, Joshua seemed wounded just because of blood relations now.
Thinking of this, Hazel began to wonder if she had made the right decision.
"Even, even if this is Master Simon," the photographer spoke with reluctance, "then it's Master Joshua who dates Miss Nina! Get real. Master Joshua just has a crush on you for the time being."
Hazel's eyes went cold. The next moment, she stood up, opened the wardrobe where Joshua was hiding, and pulled him out.
The photographer didn't see Joshua at first. When Hazel pulled a man out of the wardrobe, he became excited as his eyes lit up. "Hazel Crowe! You are too bold! You actually have the nerve to hide a man secretly in the room..."
Joshua stepped out of the wardrobe and glanced coldly at the photographer.
The photographer's mouth was wide open. His whole face went white as a sheet. Was Joshua actually here? Didn't it mean Joshua heard what he had just said to Hazel?
"You said you'd attend the party!" Ted snapped, his eyes narrowing.
"Simon won't give himself away easily. It would be best if you trusted your son," said Joshua lightly.
"How could you sneak here?!" Ted was a little irritated.
"If I came in fair and square, it would anger you." Joshua wore a calm face.
Ted almost spat out a mouthful of thick blood.
"So that's why you insist on holding a masquerade?" Ted gritted his teeth. He was not in a good mood as his own son set a trap for him.
"Mr. King, you're welcome," Joshua spoke coldly. "You suddenly asked me to go to some party. How could I possibly not be on guard?"
Ted's gaze was even colder. Just as she was about to say something, Hazel suddenly opened her mouth, "Mr. King, in fact, mom can hear everything around her. It's just that she doesn't react, but she's not deaf."
Ted's face paled instantly. He couldn't resist staring in Stacy's direction.
Because Stacy had always been immersed in her own world, Ted did not avoid her most of the time when he dealt with matters.
But it was because he thought Stacy couldn't feel anything. He loved Stacy. If he knew Stacy could feel it, how could he possibly make things difficult for Hazel in this way in front of Stacy?
"Mr. King, what happened today... Forget it. I have nothing to say." Hazel breathed a sigh of relief before continuing, "Now that you're back, Joshua and I are leaving."
Joshua held Hazel's hand, ready to take her away.
"Joshua, come to the study first!" There was a chill in Ted's voice.
"Hazel, wait for me in the living room," Joshua whispered. Ted was fooled by him today. Of course, Ted wouldn't let him go so easily.
Joshua also had something that he wanted to tell Ted.
"Good." Hazel nodded. She went out of the room quietly.
"Master Joshua..." The photographer said with somewhat trepidation.
"I should make you disappear from the world for what you did." Joshua's eyes were cold. But the next moment, he said, "However, you made some contributions. Don't show up in front of Hazel and me again!"
"OK, OK, OK! I will…" The photographer repeatedly thanked him, but he was still puzzled in his heart. Did he make contributions? Why didn't he himself know that?
However, he dared not ask any questions for fear of angering Joshua again. He left quickly.
"Come with me!" said Ted, looking pale.
Since Hazel said Stacy could hear everything, he didn't want to say or do much in front of Stacy.
Joshua did not object but followed him to the study next door.
"What do you mean?" When he got to the study, Ted banged on the desk in anger. "You actually changed the mask and clothes in the party and secretly came to Hazel. Weren't you afraid I would blame all this on Hazel, and it would make me more unwilling to accept her?"
"Mr. King, you're such a narcissist," said Joshua, with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes. "Who said… I brought Hazel here to make you accept her?"
"Then what do you want?" The look on Ted's face hardened.
"I just," the smile in Joshua' eyes grew colder, "want her to be totally disappointed in you."
He knew that Ted was headstrong and willful, so instead of hoping that Ted would accept Hazel, Joshua would rather Hazel be disappointed in Ted.
Over the last few days, Joshua had been on the verge of applauding Ted. If Ted went on like this, Ted would quickly kill all Hazel's hopes and the little expectation Joshua had for Ted.
Ted's face darkened. Looking at him, Joshua's heart grew colder. He sensed that Ted would not give up.
