Chapter 162: What Are You Afraid Of?
When they heard Hazel was really Ronald’s sister, everyone suddenly went quiet and said one by one, "Sorry, Hazel, we are used to joking with Ronald."
"It doesn't matter." Hazel nodded and didn't mind.
Ronald led her to sit on the sofa seat, and Hazel noticed that the woman who was hostile to her got up and sat on the other side of Ronald.
Hazel looked up and glanced at her. The woman was in a bad mood, and she stopped gossiping.
"Ronald, is this really your sister?" asked the woman.
Ronald asked with a smile, “Why? Do we not look alike?”
"You really don't." The woman chuckled.
"What do you think, Hazel?" Ronald's eyes glimmered.
Hazel said faintly, “Dad and Mom said they gave me the good genes, and they gave you the bad ones.”
Ronald was pondering. If Hazel really knew something, it would be impossible for her to remain calm. Or did his innocent sister learn to hide real emotions?
"Hazel is really funny. My name is Nadine Reed. I am in the same college with Ronald." Nadine was utterly convinced of Hazel's words, and her attitude towards Hazel was also a bit more intimate.
Hazel twitched her lips as if saying, "stay out of my way."
Nadine glanced at Hazel with some disappointment. Seeing Hazel's cold reaction, she suddenly ignored Hazel and chatted with Ronald.
Someone saw Hazel sitting in the corner quietly, so they handed her a beer and said, "Hazel, have a drink."
Hazel shook her head and said faintly, "Sorry, no."
"Why not? Drink a little, maybe you'll forget your worries." Ronald, who was chatting with others, suddenly turned his head and looked at her, "You got your brother here. What are you afraid of?"
Hazel looked at Ronald, hiding a few opinions in her eyes.
Hazel could not drink much, and when she got drunk, the entire Crowe Family would be afraid of her, but it looked like Ronald was determined to get her drunk.
What was he thinking? Did he want her to spit out the truths when she got drunk?
"No, thanks." She refused firmly.
After a while, another boy came to her and handed the microphone over, "Hazel, sing a song. I will accompany you."
"Sorry, I'm terrible at singing." Hazel refused again.
It was a birthday party, and a few people were playing different games, but Hazel had been sitting in the corner, ignoring anyone who approached her.
"Hazel doesn't seem to be very happy?" Nadine sounded like a big sister.
Seeing that Hazel didn't seem to like Nadine, Ronald said, "Just leave her alone. She lost her love a few days ago, and she is in a bad mood."
Nadine did not ask any more questions.
In a blink of an eye, Ronald whispered to Hazel like a madman, "Hazel, what's the matter with you? I took you out to have a good time with the crowd! And you just kept eating snacks and taking soft drinks and ignored everybody. What do you want?"
"I lost my love. I'm in a bad mood." Hazel slammed back in an unenthusiastic manner.
Ronald was powerless, this girl was obviously still sad.
"I am going to the bathroom." Hazel stood up.
Ronald looked at them as she walked out and did not know what to do.
Hazel went to the bathroom and washed her face.
She was supposed to have fun with these people, but that would help improve her situation.
Why did she feel so sad? Hazel didn’t know how to deal with the emotions, she was still so upset.
As she walked out of the bathroom, someone grabbed her wrist. In a panic, Hazel turned her wrist and pinned the man’s arm against the wall.
"It hurts! Stop! Miss Crowe, it's me!" Jaxson shouted in pain.
Hazel was stunned and quickly let go.
"Miss Crowe, you must come with me!" He pulled Hazel again and eagerly said.
"I, I'm not going..." Hazel's face turned white.
"But now you are the only one who can persuade the President!"
Jaxson was getting more anxious, "I don't know what happened in the past few days. He only had two or three hours of sleep, he hasn’t been taking care of himself at all. He drank a lot of wine when he was socializing today, he is extremely drunk. You should at least go talk to him…”
Hazel felt a sharp pain in her heart and nodded her head. Even though she knew that she should refuse, she couldn’t do it when she heard of the state Joshua was in.
Jaxson took Hazel to the VIP box upstairs. He quietly told Hazel that he forcibly took Joshua away from the dining table and took him here to rest.
Hazel pushed the door open and saw Joshua leaning against the sofa with a pale face. Before she could say anything, he bent down and began to vomit.
Hazel became red and teary. She walked to his side and gently patted his back. There was a cup of water on the table, and she handed it to Joshua.
Joshua didn't look up, he just took the water and rinsed his mouth. Then he whispered, "Jaxson, I am much better. Help me go back."
"Go back and continue drinking?" Hazel shivered and whispered.
Joshua shook his hands, and the cup almost fell. He turned back in surprise, looking at Hazel. His expression was full of mixed emotions.
"That is part of socializing." He touched his eyebrows and said.
"You are Joshua Denmark. If you don't want to drink, who dares to force you?" She bit her lips.
"Who said that I didn't want to drink?" His eyes went a bit darker. "Hazel, why are you saying this to me?"
Hazel's face was pale, Joshua was regretting talking to her in that manner.
"I..." She stood up in a panic. "Sorry, it's my fault..."
Seeing that she would leave, Joshua suddenly caught her wrist and dragged her into his arms.
"Hazel, you should've been a little bit crueler!" Joshua gritted. The next moment, he kissed her lips roughly.
He had pretended that he did not see her earlier in the evening, but she came and took the initiative to provoke him. Endless thoughts in his mind seemed to have broken through the dam of his defense system.
Hazel was so frightened that she wanted to push him away. She struggled hard, but her resistance was hopeless when it came to Joshua.
His kiss was like a storm, with the strength to destroy everything.
She had never seen such Joshua acting so crazy. Her heart hurt a bit more, and tears fell down on her face.
