Chasing The Fierce Heiress

Chapter 78: The Young Family Schemes



“How do you know he didn’t do it?” Mabel was furious. “I think that you are planning on marrying better than you ever imagined you would, so you are speaking for Joshua.”

“Joshua, you must marry my daughter.” Garry was rampant. “Or I am obliged to prosecute you for raping my daughter. Let us see what influence it would have on the Denmark Group.”

“Are you threatening me?” Joshua looked at him with a half-smile.

Garry was scared by his look. Although it was always said that Joshua was easy-going and mild, Garry clearly knew another side of him. He could be cold-hearted and cruel if he were serious about the confrontation.

Hazel ran out of patience, she did not intend to get involved. After all, she had nothing to do with the situation, and they just assumed she was only there to show off, but they were so brazen to pressure Joshua like that!

“Call the police.” Hazel suddenly proposed.

Everyone turned to look at her with mixed expressions on their faces. Every time Hazel spoke, they could not speak; she disrupted the Young family’s plans and schemes.

“If you call the police, Joshua will go to jail.” Kenny was puzzled and looked at Hazel.

“The police have not investigated yet. How do you know that Joshua will go to jail?” Hazel was surprised at his words.

Kenny was left speechless.

Hazel turned to Joshua and looked at him, “Are you sure that you did nothing to her that night?”

“I’m sure.” Joshua nodded his head.

“Then call the police. If they are determined to frame you, I believe the police must have ways to prove you are innocent. Doubts will clear up when the facts are known.” Hazel said calmly, “Furthermore, if you really did do what they are saying, shouldn’t you be in jail?”

The Young family were panicked while Hazel was completely free from the threat that Joshua would go to jail. Did this woman really not care about Joshua and his future?

Actually, they did not have the ability to send Joshua to jail, and if he really was jailed, what good was it for them?

“You are right,” Joshua took out the phone, “we can’t allow the man who terrorized Vanessa that night to remain at large. We should find him and send him to jail.”

Vanessa became very pale. Garry rushed to grab his mobile phone and said, “We can’t call the police.”

“If we do not call the police, how can you send Joshua to prison?” Hazel said, he looked at her and was surprised at her reaction.

Garry did know what to say to counter her statements.

“Joshua, we have known each other for so many years, why are you so mean to me?” Vanessa cried.

“If you call the police, would this thing be made public? Then what do you want me to do? Attempt another suicide? What’s more, how could it be possible that I would send you to prison? Now you have someone new, if you insist on refusing to admit it, what can I do? Tell me, and I will not intervene if you really want to be with her.”

“Chares, I never expected that you were such a bastard! You, two sons of…” Mabel scolded angrily.

Hazel was aggravated by this unreasonable family.

“You were raped by another person. I can understand why you are reluctant to call the police. But why are you blaming me?” Joshua sneered. He had run out of patience. “Now that we are all here let me make it clear.”

Joshua was not going to give Vanessa any chance for further deception.

He quickly said, “Vanessa, we were young when you first told me that you loved me, but I refused you. Then you proclaimed in public that you refused me. I did not explain that time because I thought you were too young to realize what you were doing. Later, your parents wanted us to be married. My family and I refused.”

Joshua continued without letting anyone else speak. “You fell back into old habits and spread rumors again. Okay, thinking of the relationship between our two families, I did not blame you for that. How long do you think that I can allow you to keep treating me like this?”

His cold words were like a sword stabbing into Vanessa’s heart, she sat trembling and unable to speak, she knew her story was shattered.

She had not planned for Joshua to speak about the past and to stand up for himself.

“No, he is not telling the truth.” Vanessa pleaded and turned her parents for help.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Garry became angry from embarrassment, “Joshua, don’t forget how we helped you before. You are the type of man who goes after those that help you.”

“I haven’t forgotten.” Joshua said, “Otherwise, what makes you think that as a director, you can be a tyrant for so many years in Denmark Group?”

Garry was left speechless when he caught Joshua’s warning. He was rather scared. Did he know all the things he had done in the company?

“Since things are clear, we will be going now.” Joshua said slowly, “If you have changed your mind and still want to call the police, I’ll also do my best to help you to find the man.”

They were angry and awkward but had no words to fight back.

“Let’s go,” Joshua said to Hazel in a low voice and held her hand.

“Joshua,” Vanessa shouted in a hateful voice, “You really want me to die?”

Joshua furrowed his eyebrows impatiently. It was not the first time she threatened self-harm.

“Joshua,” Kenny was thoughtful and followed up. The Young family did not know what to do and were clenching their teeth out of anger.

“Mom, what should we do?” Vanessa burst into tears.

“Vanessa, tell me the truth. Is Joshua really the one that hurt you that night?” Garry asked her with a sour face.

Vanessa froze. But in the next moment, she replied firmly, “Yes! Dad. I don’t care about anything else, I want to marry him.”

Garry struck the table with his hands angrily and said, “He has gone way too far. I need to teach him a lesson!”

Mabel was hesitant to say, “Joshua was now the president of Denmark Group and has a solid fundamental strength. We may not be able to hurt him.”

“Though he is the president now, he won’t be in the position for long because he is not supposed to be.” Garry said ruthlessly, “as long as we find her and threaten Joshua with her, won’t he have to listen to us?”

“Who is her?” Mabel asked surprisingly.

“The Denmark family has lost their daughter, the authentic heir of the Denmark Group.”

“But it is said that she is dead.” Mabel was puzzled.

“But no one has found her body,” Garry continued coldly, “We may be able to find her as long as we are willing to look.”
