Hazel arrogantly walked out of the men's room, but when the door shut, Hazel felt beaten. Her beautiful face was full of anger and frustration.

Hazel clenched her fists as she had never come across such a big loss before!

She went there to rescue her roommate, but her first kiss had been stolen. She had to play a small trick to get out of the situation and use a few threats which could prove nothing.

Hazel really wanted to head back inside and beat Joshua, but...she was no match for him in terms of power!

Hazel was still very aware of the situation. She had to swallow the less-than-perfect victory. All in all, Summer was fine.

Hazel hurried out of the bar to see Ariel holding the drunken Summer on the nearby corner.

"Hazel! Here!" Ariel yelled.

Hazel walked over, and she let out a sigh of relief, "You guys are still here?"

"I was worried about you." Ariel added, "Are you ok?"

The overbearing and sudden kiss of the man instantly popped into her head. Hazel's fingers shook with fury.

"...I'm fine," Hazel said in an unhappy tone.

What had happened had already happened. Nothing would change even if Ariel knew about it, so she decided to keep it to herself.

"That's good." Ariel relaxed. Suddenly, her eyes fell on Hazel's hands. She asked with curiosity, "Hazel, why are you holding a belt? What happened? Whose belt is that?"

Hazel was embarrassed.

Her mind was in chaos, and she was still holding on to the belt!

"Nobody's." Hazel quickly placed the belt on the roof of a nearby Maybach. She quickly ran over to hold Summer in her arms and diverted the topic, "Go ahead, I will explain it to you later."

Ariel looked at her suspiciously, but she didn't push the topic.

Joshua was still in the men's room, hiding in a stall. His face was pale.

He was never treated like that before. That cunning girl took advantage of him.

"Mr. President,” Jaxson Hunk knocked on the door of the stall and said, "I've procured a new suit for you." Joshua opened the door and took the pants from Jaxson.

Jaxson was waiting outside in a bit of surprise. Joshua actually sent him to buy pants for him, so what happened to his original pants?

Jaxson could not refrain from imagination. In a place like a bar, especially in the washroom...Was the President having an affair with a blonde and meet in this place?

Joshua had always been very self-disciplined, and there was no scandal around him. Jaxson had always been very curious about what kind of woman could catch Joshua’s eye.

After changing clothes, Joshua came out with a gloomy face, "This is a top-secret! You never saw me in this place!"

Joshua had never felt so ashamed.

"Aye, sir," Jaxson answered immediately.

Joshua was a little annoyed as he was walking to his car.

Just after Joshua opened the car door, Jaxson suddenly said, "Mr. President, there seems to be something on your roof."

Joshua frowned for a second.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank. He quickly took the thing off the car roof.

It was his belt...placed on the roof.

Joshua twitched his lips.

Today he lost a game to that sly girl. He didn't intend to pursue the situation. After all, it was a misunderstanding.

But that sneaky little thing put his belt on his car, was she deliberately provoking him?

"Jaxson, " Joshua said with a mild tone, “Go find out who put that thing on top of my car."

"Aye, sir." Jaxson was a little confused but agreed.

***

Back in the dormitory, Hazel didn't sleep well. She was awakened by the noise in the dormitory early in the morning that day.

"Ariel, help me sign up!"

"Why don't you do that yourself?"

"I have a headache. "

"Look at that! Who went out and got drunk! Now you know what a headache feels like? Remember that you are still a senior student with graduation ahead! Next time, don't expect Hazel and I to go pick you up..."

"What's going on?" Hazel grabbed her pillow and threw it, "Don’t you guys know I’m still sleeping?"

Ariel was sitting at the table playing on her computer. She snorted and picked up the pillow from the floor, "Hazel, don't forget it was me who signed you up!"

"Signed me up for what?" Hazel got up from her bed and stumbled to go to the bathroom.

Ariel looked at her in an odd way and looked back at the computer screen, "You don't know? It's been very hot lately! We are signing up for my Prince Charming, who is now seeking a surrogate mother for his children. You don't thank me!"

Hazel was stunned first and snapped out of it instantly.

She hurriedly rushed to Ariel's side, grabbed the mouse, and said, "Oh my goodness, you signed me up for that? Count me out, please!"

"Just relax!" Ariel reached out her hand and patted Hazel's back, "You are just a follower in the background. I am the drama queen!"

"Let Summer go with you! I want no part of this!" Hazel said reluctantly.

"Summer is now officially my love rival!" Ariel said seriously, "I shall show no mercy upon my rival even when she is my roommate!"

"Since when have you two become rivals?" Hazel was confused.

"Summer also wants to sign up! Whoever wants to steal my Prince Charming from me is my rival!" Ariel grit her teeth.

Seeing Hazel's incomprehensible look, Ariel said, "Oh my Hazel, you have no idea what I'm talking about?" Hazel shook her head.

"It's this preliminary selection for the surrogate mother!" Ariel pointed at the computer screen with a horny look, "This time, it's Joshua, President, and CEO of Denmark Family Group, who is sending the invite for the selection! He is rich, low-profiled, handsome, and no scandal around him,"

"You think he was handsome before you even met him?" Hazel said silently, "Maybe he is old and ugly!"

Hazel heard the name of Joshua Denmark before. The Denmark Family Group was not low-key, but Joshua rarely appeared in front of the media, so few people knew what he looked like.

However, almost everyone who had seen him praised everything about him, including his looks. So, in the eyes of his fans, such as Ariel, Joshua had gradually become a very beautiful legend.

But the fact that such a low-key person actually held such a high-profile activity to choose a surrogate mother for his children surprised Hazel.

"My Prince Charming is by no means old and ugly!" Ariel argued.

"...I don't care. Just help me cancel the registration right away." Hazel was somewhat irritated.

"Hazel, let's forget about how Joshua looks like. He's really generous!" Ariel proudly praised him, "Whoever participates in the preliminary selection only has to get a few photographs taken. Whether she got selected or not, she could receive a grand from Denmark Family Group! Think twice before you cancel something like that!"

"Photographs?" Hazel frowned.

"Of course! Otherwise, how can my Prince Charming know what his candidates look like?"

"Can we just provide our photos?"

"Do you have any idea about technology these days? Photos provided by participants can be altered! Relax, my Prince Charming isn’t going to do anything with photos shot by his staff."

Hazel still did not show any interest in it. She quickly shook her head and said, "I’d rather not. What if I got selected..."

"Hazel, you are such a bold girl. You are just one step away from my list of rivals!" Ariel stared at her with a stunned look, "Do you know how many people have signed up for this preliminary selection? It is said that there are nearly 100,000 people! One out of 100,000, do you think you got that luck?"

"100,000 people!" Hazel was a bit shocked. She said, "One grand each person, that makes...one hundred million? Holy, rich people really have a lot of nerve. This is not for choosing a surrogate mother. This is choosing an imperial concubine!"

"Better than choosing an Imperial Concubine, ok?" Ariel said with her worship, "You don't get paid winning a selection for Imperial Concubine! But my Prince Charming is really generous and considerate. He really wants to give his fans some pocket money! Do you see a guy that nice every day?"

"In the end, you’re in for that thousand dollars..." Summer stated from her bed.

"Aren’t you?" Hazel looked at her strangely.

"I'm in for that one in one hundred thousand." Summer rubbed her temples, which were still pulsing with intoxication, and said, "Aren't the odds better than buying a lottery ticket?"

"You said that your boyfriend just dumped you." Ariel was alerted and said, "And you went drinking yesterday. How could you be over that so quickly?"

"It is because of losing a love that I need Prince Charming to help me out see the light," Summer said seriously.

Hazel admired her spirit and thought, "That explains why Ariel sees you as a rival."

"However, the eyes of the Prince are too picky," Summer said with her face down on her bed.

"Yeah. There are still re-selections after the preliminary selection. But so many participants, none of them has even passed the preliminary selection yet!" Ariel sighed.

"So, you just need to give up and make room for the eligible."

"Why don’t you give up?"

Hazel had enough with the two of them. But since this thing had nothing to do with her, she frowned and said, “I don't want his thousand dollars. Now you just..."

Before she even finished, she heard a boy standing downstairs and shouting loudly, "Kyla! Kyla Lee! I love you! I can't sleep without you..."

The three girls in the dorm room were suddenly all back on the same team. Ariel was furious and said, "Shit, that scum Derek Sanchez is here again! Hazel, wait here. I will kick his ass!"

"Hey..." Hazel wanted to stop her, but Ariel had rushed into the bathroom and was carrying out a bucket of water, heading towards the balcony. Hazel sighed, "I have nothing to do with this..."

"This is no longer something between you and him." Summer crawled off the bed with a serious look on her face, "Derek has evolved from disgusting you to disgusting the entire dormitory. I'm with Ariel this time!"

Hazel put her hand up to her forehead.

"And, thank you for last night," Summer said as she was filling a cup of water.

"My pleasure. But please don't go to that kind of place in the future." Images from last night came to her mind. When she recalled Joshua's smirk, Hazel couldn't help but frown.

"I know." Summer turned her head back and asked, "Did anything happen to you?"

"...Nothing," Hazel said in depression.

"That's good," Summer breathed a sigh of relief, "Ariel said that you brushed your teeth for half an hour last night. I thought someone would hurt you."

Hazel was even more depressed, "I didn't brush for half an hour..."

There was a noise of water going over the balcony, followed by an angry scream from Derek downstairs, "Who is it? Who did that to me?"

"It's me!" Ariel shouted, "Derek, you are such a pervert! What are you doing here this early in the morning? You can save your energy and just get out of here!"

"I'm not looking for you..." Derek was really outraged, but his face went soft the moment he saw Hazel appear on the balcony.

"Get lost!" Ariel yelled at him, "Next time, you will get more water if you are still that thirsty!" Derek was downstairs feeling helpless. He grunted coldly and disappeared.

Suddenly, the entire dormitory building was full of applause and bravos.

Hazel was about to criticize Ariel, but she could not do that when the whole building was encouraging Ariel's action.

"That guy is still afraid of you." Ariel sighed, "He looked at you like a mouse looking at a cat."

"Do you want to be afraid of me too?" Hazel asked with a mild smile.

"Hell no." Ariel hurriedly shook her head.

"Then cancel my registration already!" Hazel gasped her teeth.

"You still remember that? How can I cancel the online registration?" Ariel said, smiling with tears. She thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that your mother's birthday is coming soon? Just use this money to buy her a gift."

Ariel hit the jackpot. Hazel was thinking of that too.

"Just think about it, you will just be accompanying me in the preliminary selection like an overseer." Ariel said like a wounded mascot, "You don't want me to go there alone, right? It is said to be a selection for a surrogate mother, but who knows what kind of trap it could be! If you are not around, I won't have any help if it is dangerous! Come on, my dear Hazel..."

"It's OK!" Seeing that Ariel actually began to cajole her, Hazel had to say, "Just this once! Next time you will know what fear is!"

"Uh-huh!" Ariel rejoiced and promised.

Joshua opened a drawer in his study and took out a thick book.

After flipping through a few pages, he stopped, his eyes were fixed on a photo hidden in the book pages. Looking at the photo silently, Joshua was somewhat depressed.

"Is she...still alive?"

The door of the study suddenly came pushed open. Joshua closed the book and looked up, displeased.

When he clearly saw the intruder, Joshua said with some reluctance, "Isaac Anderson, when will you learn to knock before opening the door?"

"OK." Isaac's hands were shoved in his pockets. His amorous eyes were half-shut. He said with a cynical smile, "When you have a girlfriend, I will learn to knock."

Regardless of his ridicule, Joshua put down the book and asked indifferently, "Why are you here?"

"Do you think I wanted to come?" Isaac pulled out a chair and sat down, and said, “It was my father who asked me to come. He wanted to know what you were planning with this event. Do you really want to have children now, or do the elders of the family really want to have grandchildren? If the reason is the latter, are you doing this to piss them off?"

Isaac was not the polite type, but Joshua had become accustomed to his language.

Joshua’s eyes turned darker. He said quietly, "You only see 50% of the picture."

"...What?" Isaac looked at him surprisingly. He pondered for a while and asked suspiciously, "Joshua, are you lonely, or are you ready to make some big moves? You have to inform me if anything is about to happen to the Denmark Family Group. As a strategic partner in your family business, we Anderson Family will not back down before we get what we want!"

Joshua twitched his lips, "Just think I am lonely this time."

Isaac looked at him intensely and stopped with his joking attitude, "What the hell is going on? Joshua, I know that the old folks in Denmark Family always want to put their daughters on you, but you aren’t the kind who will be subject to anyone. You are not doing this thing for a simple reason!"

"You think too much." Joshua calmly opened the drawer and planned to put the book back inside.

Isaac's eyes glimmered. As far as he noticed, Joshua hadn’t moved his fingers off the book since he came in.

Isaac suddenly reached out his hands and grabbed the book with lightning speed.

"You..." Joshua was somewhat helpless.

He let his guard down for a second, and Isaac stole the book. It was too late now.

"I wonder what is inside this book since Master Joshua cares about it so much..." Isaac soon turned to the page where that photo was hidden. Isaac's smile gradually disappeared the longer he spent looking at the photo.

"Is this...she?" Isaac was astounded, "So, you pulled all these strings just to find her?"

"...Sort of." Joshua sighed with his eyes looking down. He did not deny anything.

"The thing was from the last century..." Isaac let out a big sigh and said, "Is she still alive?"

"...I have no idea." Joshua shook his head slightly, "Her body wasn’t found. I have not given up."

"I can understand." Isaac looked down and thought for a while, "I remember the time I was engaged to her..."

"You?" Joshua's eyebrows suddenly rose, "Don't even think about it."

"You think I wanted that? My engagement to her was determined by our two families when she was born..." Isaac looked at Joshua with an odd expression.

"Hey, Joshua, what is that look on your face? We are at least good buddies, right?"

"Just because we are good buddies does not mean I can let you lay your hands on her." There was a bit of seriousness in Joshua's eyes.

"...Good buddy." Isaac glanced at him with a grudge. He then put away his ridicule and said with concern, "What if you cannot find her in the end?"

"I will play my part and let God decide the rest." Joshua said simply, "Keep this a secret."

Isaac reached out his hand and patted Joshua on the shoulder, "Rest assured."

There was a knock on the door, and Jaxson’s voice came from the other side of it saying, "Master Joshua."

Isaac went to the door and opened it for Jaxson. Then he turned around and said, "I'm leaving now. I hope you find her soon!" Joshua nodded.

When Isaac left, Jaxson moved closer to Joshua.

"Master Joshua, I have information on the thing you asked me to look into," Jaxson said.

"What thing?" Joshua asked curiously.

"It was last night..." Jaxson was a little embarrassed that Joshua didn’t remember.

Jaxson continued, "The person who put things on top of your car. Her name is Hazel, a student at Quantum University."

Joshua felt a little amused. He finally understood what Jaxson was talking about.

The situation made Hazel happy, and he made him really angry. But after a night, his anger was gone, and he forgot about it.

It was in a moment of anger he asked for Jaxson to find out her information. He would not really make a big deal with a little girl.

Joshua was trying to speak, but Jaxson continued, "I also found out that Hazel has signed up for this surrogate mother's preliminary selection..."

Joshua’s eyebrows rose again. That little girl actually signed up?

He suddenly wanted to see the look on Hazel’s face when she found out he was Joshua Denmark, who was inviting her to be a surrogate mother to his children.

"Surprised? ashamed?"

"Or would she become one of his fans like other girls?"

"What time is she taking part in the preliminary selection?" Joshua asked suddenly.

"Tomorrow.” Jaxson was a little surprised and continued, "The venue for her group is on Transcendence Plaza. Need me to arrange a trip?"

Joshua laughed. She did take advantage of him, but that was not enough for him to foster hatred.

"No need." Joshua said with one hand on his forehead, "This is a closed matter."

Jaxson looked at Joshua suspiciously. He had a hunch that...this thing was just getting started.
