MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Mandy clenched her teeth in anger. Hazel was actually smart enough to use this to force her to admit to her crime. She could not win, if she said yes, she would offend the Denmark family and the Anderson family at the same time. However, if she said no, she would certainly offend Kathie Anderson.

Taking a deep breath, Mandy's tone was full of innocence, "Hazel, I know you dislike me. But even if Kathie offends you, she is still a child. Can't you be generous enough to let her go? Why do you use a child to accuse me of committing some unwarranted crimes…"

"You heard it," Hazel said, looking calmly at Kathie. "She's unwilling to save you."

"Mandy, you bitch!" shouted Kathie, who was extremely irritated.

"No, that's not what I meant." Mandy was nervous and wanted to continue explaining, but Hazel hung up the phone without hesitation as she would not give Mandy any opportunity to provoke her or Kathie any further.

"It really was her who incited me!" Kathie was worried. "Hazel, give me a break…"

"It's not that I don't want to let you go," Hazel said coldly. "But given the fact that I was bullied and almost murdered! Don't you think I should find out exactly who is responsible for this? You said she told you to do it, but she didn't admit to it, so I have to settle with you. Get up and go with me to Denmark Residence!"

She forced them to follow her to Denmark Residence. With the gun, they dared not disobey her. She called the police, and they arrived a short time later to arrest Kathie and the others.

Elene knew it was not over, and she had to be prepared for the storm that was going to hit. She contemplated everything while she paced back and forth, waiting for Joshua to arrive home.

"Why did you come home so soon?" She was a little shocked.

"If I took longer, I wouldn't be here to help you." He said in a deep voice, "I heard all about it. Have the police obtained all the evidence?"

"Yes." She nodded. "I made a copy of their records."

"Okay," Joshua said with an apologetic look in his eyes. "Hazel, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when it was so dangerous."

"It wasn't very dangerous anyway…" She smiled. "They were just a few young girls. I handled it."

Things were, in fact, far less easy than she told Joshua. After all, given Kathie's reckless character, she might have really shot her at any point, but she didn't want Joshua to worry.

Before they could say more, Fred Cohen and Mandy walked into the living room in a huff, along with a group of directors.

"Mr. President, you can't continue to favor this woman! This incident is really too severe!" A director pointed angrily at Hazel.

"Yes! We've roughly heard about this incident. The young girl, Kathie, from the Anderson family, just stopped her on the way home and bullied her a little. Why did she need to make such a fuss over a trivial matter?"

"Besides, the Anderson girl did it because she hated to see someone shamelessly living in Denmark Residence before the true identity of the Denmark family's daughter came out. She did not do anything wrong, but it's very clear someone is so guilty that she made a fuss!"

"Yeah! Although the Anderson family is not as strong as the Denmark family, the relationship between the two families has always been very good. Won't the two families have a falling out with each other now that she put the little girl into jail? She ignored the general interest, and it is simply unreasonable to ruin their relationship for a simple incident!"

Listening to all the groundless accusations, Hazel appeared very calm as she gave Mandy a sideways glance. Mandy knew the matter was about to get serious, so she immediately brought the directors to denounce her.

"Well, how do you think we should deal with a woman who is ignorant and deliberately confrontational?" asked Hazel quietly as a smile curved her lips.

Mandy felt something was wrong and was trying to stop her, but before she could speak, she heard a director yelling, "Of course you need to move out of Denmark Residence. Since you are so ignorant and incapable, stay away from the Denmark family's business? And let go of that little girl…"

Joshua's eyes were cold. He looked calmly at the director speaking, who felt a chill run down his spine and shut up hastily.

Hazel looked at Mandy with a faint smile on her face. It seemed Mandy also knew that she couldn't save herself if she didn't save Kathie. Otherwise, Kathie wouldn't stop accusing her of being involved.

It turned out that Mandy really cared about her living in Denmark Residence and was not going to give up without a fight.

"Joshua," said Fred, looking like an elder, "The directors' words are unpleasant, but they are reasonable. The true identity of the Denmark daughter is not clear, so Hazel living in Denmark Residence is not quite right. Kathie hated to see it, so she confronted Hazel, but did Hazel need to put her in jail? What will the Anderson family think? In my opinion, it's better to let Kathie go and make Hazel apologize to her so that the Anderson family will be calmer."

The other directors echoed, "Yes! Let Kathie go and make Hazel apologize!"

Hazel smiled more sarcastically. Mandy was really scheming. If Hazel let Kathie go now, it would look like Mandy saved her, and Kathie would not hate Mandy any longer. If Hazel was forced to apologize, then everyone would think that Hazel was trying to drive a wedge between the two families, making it all Hazel's fault.

"Do you have a problem with Hazel living here?" Joshua opened his mouth quietly, looking at the people with a thoughtful expression.

"Yes!" They gambled, "It has not been proven that she is the daughter of the Denmark family. Why should she live here?!"

"Why?" Joshua swept over them indifferently, and the next moment he looked at Hazel and kissed her gently.

"... Hm!" Hazel's eyes widened abruptly. She knew that Joshua would certainly not listen to the directors, but how could he suddenly kiss her in front of the directors.

The directors were totally taken aback. They knew that Joshua liked Hazel, but they didn't expect he would show a public display of affection right in front of them.

As for Mandy, her expression became extremely cold. If... If she had shown up earlier, it would have been her instead of Hazel that Joshua cherished so much.

"Because of that." After the kiss ended, Joshua naturally wrapped Hazel in his arms. He looked at the directors calmly and did not feel he was doing anything wrong.

"Joshua, do you mean you're really going to conceal her mistakes so unreasonably?" said Fred, looking pale.
