Chapter 4

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.
