"No matter how bad their relationship is, Joshua is still his son. When you post this video to discredit Hazel Crowe, people would also make fun of her husband, Joshua." He clenched his teeth angrily but still patiently explained, "At heart, Ted is a very conservative man. Do you think he is willing to watch you involve his son in this kind of scandal and watch others say Joshua is cuckolded?"

"I, I didn't think that much.." Cynthia instantly freaked out, "but didn't you say we could post it online?"

"We posted it online because we wanted to put pressure on Joshua," said Daniel, who had a headache. Why did he have such a stupid sister? "Even if we want to post it, we should cover Hazel's face so that we can save his face while putting pressure on him and won't offend Ted!"

Cynthia was so remorseful that she asked quickly, "What now? Shall I apologize..?"

"You..." Daniel was so pissed off that he was about to vomit blood. "What's the use of your apology except that it can make you confess to what you did?

"Neither this nor that can work. Shall I give up Joshua?" Cynthia was so wounded that she wanted to cry. Thinking that Joshua had saved her, she felt that it would be better for her to be stabbed by a knife than to give him up.

"Now, it's not a question whether you're going to give up on Joshua," Daniel said, looking helplessly at his silly sister. "It's a question whether Ted is going to get angry with us and punish us."

Taken aback, Cynthia took two steps backward despite herself. She had no idea that her impulse would have such serious consequences. She was really scared and grabbed Daniel's arm hastily. "Daniel, I know I made a mistake, but what's done is done. How can I remedy the situation? You can just tell me. I'll do anything I can!"

Daniel shook his head helplessly. "Now, we'll have to wait and see if the person who sent you the video will send you any new videos."

"Can there be other videos?" Cynthia's eyes lit up. She just tried to bluff Hazel yesterday.

"There should be," Daniel replied in a serious voice. "I think the people who sent the video to you haven't got what they want, so they won't give up easily."

However, Daniel and Cynthia didn't know they weren't the only ones waiting for the email.

Joshua woke up early and was busy with his study.

When Hazel woke up, she found the bed empty, so she also got out of the bed.

Last night, Joshua's gentle movements and her healthy body gave her a delightful evening, but Joshua was miserable. He took several cold showers before his fire of sexual desire vanished completely. Hazel offered to help him in other ways, but he turned her down because he didn't want her to be tired.

When Hazel got up and washed up, she took two glasses of milk to the study.

Joshua was busy with something. Quietly, Hazel walked to him, placed the milk on his desk, and put her arms around his shoulder like a spoiled girl. "Stop your job. The servant said, you didn't have breakfast. You drink the milk first."

Joshua looked back at Hazel with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Because she was at her villa, Hazel dressed casually, wearing only a baggy maternity dress.

Although he couldn't see her breasts from the neckline, he could see her naked skin.

The next moment, Joshua reached out and tightened her collar.

"I'm not cold," she was a little puzzled.

"You'll be seen," he whispered, reminding her.

Will it be seen by others? She felt more puzzled. Only the two of them were in the study. How could anyone possibly see them?

"Enough, you two! I've been avoiding you, but you can also show me a public display of affection!"

An aggrieved roar came from the computer in front of Joshua.

Hazel was taken aback. When she looked back, she realized that Joshua was having a video chat with Simon!

Simon on the screen looked very sad. He was terrified to watch the public display of affection between the two of them, so he went to their villa as little as possible, but even in the video call, they could still have a public display of affection! What could he do?

"Why didn't you remind me earlier?" Hazel blushed and hurried to tighten her collar.

"It's my fault. I'll be careful next time." Joshua smiled. He made no excuses and simply took the blame himself.

"What are you doing?" She looked curiously at the screen.

She just cast a glance at Simon, so she could only see several computers behind him and several seemingly professional workers busy in front of them.

Joshua offered her his chair and then moved another one before sitting next to her.

"We're monitoring the mailboxes of Cynthia and Daniel to track Mandy Wilson's current location," Simon explained.

"Mandy emailed again?" Hazel asked in surprise.

"No, but she'll soon," Joshua said in a deep tone.

"Did something happen?" She was thoughtful.

Joshua told her that Cynthia had posted the video online last night, but Ted removed the video.

"We don't know what Mandy is going to do at the moment," Joshua explained, "but at least she wants us to fall out with each other because of the video. Now her plan has failed, so she will naturally go on to do something."

Hazel nodded in agreement.

"But the old man really loves you," Simon sneered. "I didn't expect him to help you suppress the incident. I thought he'd be waiting for you to beg him for help when you are afflicted and cannot handle it! It seems that he can't stand having a son who is haunted by scandal."

"That's because he knows I can handle it," Joshua spoke lightly, "so instead of having unrealistic dreams, he might as well do me a favor as soon as possible and show me he's a good father."

Simon couldn't help laughing, clearly agreeing with him.

"I think you've overthought..." Hazel opened her mouth with resignation. Both Joshua and Simon had a hugely strong repulsion of Ted.

She thought for a moment and said seriously, "I think he might have that kind of thought, but he also did that just because he's your father, and that's what he should do."

Joshua's eyes were deep. He didn't agree with Hazel, but he didn't contradict her.

"Mail!" Simon cried out suddenly. The next moment, he turned around and came to the several workers whose hands were fast as lightning on the keyboards with a loud sound.
