Chapter 336 She Went To Tease Her Cheap Dad Again
“Is it impressive to have money?”
The man now looks exactly like when Joshua made a mistake and didn’t want to admit it.

Having a lot of money is not that impressive, but Gabriel belongs to the category of being exceptionally wealthy. He could sense the emotional fluctuations in Hazel’s words, but he chose to keep his mouth shut and swallow his words.
His intuition told him that silence was more effective than arguing at this moment.
The atmosphere inside the house became tense.
Hazel’s action of taking medicine suddenly intensified, and her face turned extremely pale.
The entire process, the man didn’t utter a word.
The wounds on Gabriel’s body were quickly dealt with, this time she did not choose to continue using bandages, except for the wounds on her back that were treated specially, the wounds in front were left exposed to the air.
There was heating inside the house, so even without a blanket, one wouldn’t feel cold.
Noticing her gaze falling somewhere, Gabriel was not exactly shy, but rather somewhat awkward.
“These days, the wound was not bandaged, and you couldn’t wear clothes. For the protection of your daughter’s eyes, she was not allowed to come and see you recently.”
Gabriel pursed his lips, his gaze not shifting away from Hazel in front of him. In this moment, she, who was angry, seemed to be closer to him than before when she was polite and distant.
He asked in a hoarse voice, “How long?”
Hazel glanced around and said, “About ten days or two weeks.”
Gabriel: “…”
It feels like lifting a stone and hitting one’s own foot.
However, the stone was moved by Leila the next day.
When she came bouncing over with a sugar–coated hawthorn stick to find him, she heard the voice of her stepfather, who wouldn’t let her in.
“Ah?” Leila expressed her confusion.
She held the sugar–coated hawthorn stick in her hand, half outside the ward and half inside. She touched her ponytail on her head and couldn’t understand what was wrong with her stepfather today.
Gabriel only realized at that moment the consequences of Hazel not tending to his wound.
He could only watch his obedient and bewildered daughter from a distance at the door. She seemed to be very puzzled but also respected him. Her voice was soft as she asked, “So… can I eat the candied hawthorn?”
Leila deliberately raised the strawberry candied hawthorn in her hand, its luscious color looked appetizing.
“Leila howled once, just like a wolf.”
“It’s gone once you finish eating.”
Leila’s appearance and tone resembled that of the big bad wolf deceiving Little Red Riding Hood in an animated film.
Gabriel, who didn’t particularly like sweets, couldn’t help but smile as he watched his daughter proudly present her treasure. He cautioned her, “Don’t eat too much, or you’ll get cavities.”
This joyful and warm little theater often played out in front of the ward door.
The security guard at the entrance, who was also a security guard at the experimental base, was replaced by Gabriel’s own people.
During the time when Gabriel’s wounds were gradually healing, Hazel was not idle either. She had Leo collect all the information about the Lambert family based on the clues from the Lambert Brick Factory owned by them.
“What about Leila?”
In the midst of busyness, Hazel asked her female assistant about the whereabouts of her daughter.

The female assistant couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “She, today she took the candied hawthorn to amuse her doting father again.”
Hazel: “…”
Okay, as long as my daughter is happy.
Mera
She asked her female assistant to keep an eye on Leila when she had a moment, then lowered her gaze and continued to look at the documents in her hand. These were the materials that Leo had just sent over.
This week, Elaina’s schedule was much busier than before.
She should have known that the Gabriel by her side was a counterfeit. The two of them appeared in many public occasions, but no matter how the media reporters took photos, they could only capture a certain angle of the man, and not a single photo could make it to the market.
But even so, it made many netizens start to ship the love story between the cold–faced CEO and the sweet princess.
Hazel looked at a few photos with great interest, and to be honest, Elaina in the photos lived up to her name. She looked truly sweet and adorable, making it easy for people to overlook her nearly 1.7–meter height.
Thinking about the fleeting glance she had at the party earlier, she scrolled past the gossip about trending topic videos and continued reading.
Across the street, Johnson was also dealing with the tasks Hazel had assigned to him.
“Jadon was not in Akron during this time. After the incident at the repair shop, he was constantly on the move, meeting all sorts of people. But there was one person whose identity was different. Take a look here.”
He took out one of the photos and pointed at the man in it, asking, “What did you feel when you first saw this person?”
Hazel took the photo and examined it carefully.
The man above didn’t look outstanding, neither in terms of height, physique, nor appearance. He didn’t have any particularly memorable features.
She frowned and said, “It’s a very common face, giving people a feeling of forgetfulness at first sight.”
Hazel’s gaze quickly focused on his hands, her eyes cold and piercing. “Indeed, he had a pair of skillful hands.”
This hand is much more beautiful than any hand she has ever seen.
Do
you
remember the person you asked me to look up before?”
“The one who disguised as my grandmother?”
Johnson nodded, his gaze falling on the photo Hazel had placed back on the coffee table, and he told her that someone had encountered a
similar situation before.
The sudden reappearance of deceased loved ones, who had long passed away, can easily trap those who miss them in a state of pleasant surprise.
Many people were cheated out of a lot of money by using this method.
“This person’s skill is comparable to the art of disguise.”
Hazel fell silent upon hearing the words, in fact, the so–called art of disguise is not difficult under modern technological advancements.
In simple terms, it can also be considered as a type of special effects makeup.
From the fact that Gabriel arranged a decoy to follow Elaina, it can be seen that this technique is not uncommon.
There used to be such departments within the government.
The main purpose is to provide disguises for individuals assigned secret missions and special tasks.
But the person who appeared in front of the car earlier, clearly had more advanced skills. If it wasn’t for her witnessing the burial of her grandmother with her own eyes, it would have been very easy to believe that the old lady had come back to life.
Since then, that person never appeared in front of her again, to the point where she almost forgot about it.
Johnson continued, “You were also one of his targets.”
He found out that this person had conducted a detailed investigation into Hazel’s information.
But due to their involvement, all information regarding Hazel’s divorce has been completely sealed.
“This person was very skilled in using deceitful methods of cheating, deceiving, and swindling.”
He would study all the information about the target before aiming, focusing not only on their physical disguises but also on the reenactment of

past events between those individuals, trapping those obsessed people in a fabricated illusion.
Hazel quietly listened to Johnson’s narrative.
Manu
When she heard that he had not completed the previous goal task before moving on to the next one, she expressed her confusion, “I have never seen him behind me.”
Johnson’s lips curled into a cold smile, “If you often walk by the river, there is no reason why your shoes wouldn’t wet.”
get
This person indeed only cheated for money, but unfortunately, the previous female boss who was deceived by him took a liking to his charm and directly launched a manhunt against him on the street.
“He hid in various places. After hiding for a while, he got in touch with Jadon and now he has become his underling.”
When Hazel and Johnson first met Jadon, they both thought he was just a troublemaker from a small town.
Just a few months.
Upon meeting again, this man not only had an alias but also had close ties to the Fowler family.
Johnson reminded her, “This Jadon’s identity is questionable, we need to be cautious, he might be sent by the opponent.”
“I knew.”
Hazel was also not someone who easily believed in people.
Just as the two people were discussing what to do next, their phones both vibrated.
The two people who had just finished the phone call suddenly felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. They looked at each other, and their faces wore the same solemn expression.
Some things really can’t be mentioned!
As soon as he mentioned it, something happened!
