When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 43: A Heart Attack

"Hazel, aren’t you angry? She’s talking about you behind your back, saying you must have gotten in through connections. If I heard someone say that about me, I’d definitely go and confront them."

Sharon Winters was indignant. Seeing Hazel Hawthorne so calm, and then remembering she lived in a luxury villa like this, she scratched her head. "You didn’t really get in through connections, did you? After all, I’m just now realizing you’re actually rich."

"No. I got into Sterling Group on my own merit," Hazel Hawthorne said sincerely. "Living here doesn’t mean I’m a rich person, and even if I were, that doesn’t mean I’m not capable."

Sharon Winters eyed Hazel Hawthorne skeptically. Hazel was amused by her expression and chuckled. "Sharon, do you believe me? Do you believe I got into Sterling Group on my own merit?"

Sharon Winters was silent for a moment. "I believe you."

Hazel Hawthorne couldn’t help but smile and ask again, "Why do you believe me? Aren’t you worried I might be lying to you?"

"Hazel, I’m suddenly realizing you’re a strange person. You’re the one who asked if I believed you. I said I did, and now you’re asking me why. But if I believe you, I just believe you. I won’t question you so easily."

"That’s the most basic trust between friends."

Seeing Sharon Winters’s earnest expression, Hazel Hawthorne found it amusing. She hadn’t meant to tease Sharon; it was just that being trusted made her happy. With Sharon, she felt a joy she hadn’t experienced in a long time.

To Hazel, Sharon Winters was as pure as a blank sheet of paper. She was different from Sharon; she didn’t trust people easily.

People are always drawn to each other for certain reasons. Sharon Winters thought she was beautiful, while she liked the purity that emanated from Sharon.

In the world of adults, people who still possessed that kind of purity were truly rare.

Hazel Hawthorne had Sharon Winters stay the night, and Aiden Xavier never called her.

Aiden Xavier had been very busy the past two days handling company matters. He hadn’t reached out to Raina Lowell either. In fact, Raina had tried to contact him several times, but he had turned her down each time, citing work as his reason.

Hazel Hawthorne was the cause of it all. She despised Hazel and wanted nothing more than to drive her away from Aiden’s side
