MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"Joshua, I came for Kathie," said Grandpa Anderson grimly. "I won't conceal her mistakes. I know that she has been spoiled by her parents and does things irrationally and recklessly. If she had been punished for her own wickedness, I would not say anything. But…"

"Uncle!" Amy interrupted him a little anxiously.

"Let our uncle finish speaking." Mike stopped her hastily. "You can be sure that he will help Kathie."

Amy shot Hazel a fierce look and said nothing more.

"… I can't stand a woman who used her impulsive temperament to drive a wedge between our family and the Denmark family," said Grandpa Anderson solemnly. "Joshua, you have to give me an explanation!"

"Yes, we need an explanation!" Mike and Amy said angrily.

"Don't be angry, Grandpa Anderson," Fred said, "No matter who is to blame, we will not tolerate her and her actions. We will ensure that you have a satisfactory answer. We won't let this affect the relationship between the two families."

Fred was trying to pacify Grandpa Anderson, but he promised it all so that he could force Joshua to stop protecting Hazel.

"Fred, I am relieved to hear that." Grandpa Anderson nodded his head. After that, as if he had been reminded, he said in a deep voice, "Joshua, I know that woman's identity is special now, and you will hesitate because of your relationship with her. But you must understand if you indulge her, you're harming her! Now since your Uncle Fred also supports you, just do it!"

All the other people could not help but secretly glance over at Joshua. Denmark Group and the Anderson family were putting pressure on him, they really wanted to know how he would deal with it. Would he still protect Hazel?

"You're right, Grandpa Anderson," Joshua said quietly. "But who is the woman that you believe drove a wedge between our two families?"

Everyone looked at Joshua in surprise. Grandpa Anderson didn't specifically say that it was Hazel, but he insinuated it, so why did Joshua ask?

"The woman is…" Grandpa Anderson swept over Hazel and then raised his hands to point straight at Mandy. "Her!"

Looking at his finger, Mandy looked flustered. Shouldn't Grandpa Anderson point at Hazel? Why was he pointing at her?!

The living room was silent, but it was followed by an uproar.

"What's the matter?"

"Is Grandpa Anderson mistaken?"

Listening to the comments, Fred came to his senses and forced a smile, "Grandpa Anderson, is there some kind of misunderstanding? How can this incident be related to Mandy?"

"Yeah, uncle," said Mike, too, "It was Hazel who framed Kathie, not someone else!"

"Obviously," Isaac said with a sorrowful look. "You're not as clever as Kathie because she at least knows who framed her! Why didn't you go to see her before you came here to cause a scene? Why didn't the people who told you to come to Hazel let you visit Kathie first? It's clear that someone wants to use you to make trouble!"

Mike and Amy's faces changed immediately. Indeed, when they heard about Kathie's accident, they didn't even go to see her but went directly to Denmark's family to start trouble. Could there be another story?

"Thankfully, Isaac and I went to see Kathie." Grandpa Anderson said in a deep voice. "Since we are all here, we might as well listen to what Kathie said."

Isaac took out his phone and clicked on a video.

In the video, when Kathie saw Grandpa Anderson and Isaac, she shouted with a flustered look, "Grandpa, Brother Isaac, please help me! I was set up, save me!"

"What exactly is the matter, Kathie?" asked Grandpa Anderson.

"It's Mandy!" Kathie clenched her teeth and said. "She deliberately approached Lucy and me and used a pathetic and victimized expression to encourage me to pick on Hazel. Besides, this vicious woman replaced my fake gun with the real one, wanting to use me to kill Hazel! All this was done by her. She wanted to use me to kill people and then make us fight with the Denmark family!"

Kathie's voice was not low, which caused an uproar in the crowd.

Was what Kathie had told the truth? Everyone looked at Mandy with unkind glares.

"No, it's not true! I met her, but I did not provoke her!" Mandy said defensively, she was panicking. She did not expect that Kathie could shift the blame on her when she didn't leave any trace of evidence. She had to find a way to make someone else her scapegoat.

Mandy pointed to Hazel, resentfully saying, "It must be Hazel. It must be her who has threatened Kathie to say that!"

"Threatened?" Hazel snorted. "You're interesting. Do you mean Kathie, who meant to hurt me, wanted to help me under my threat? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

The others who had had some doubts also thought Mandy's words were ridiculous. Hazel's relationship with Kathie was so bad, why would Kathie lie to help Hazel? Besides, Mandy and Hazel had an existing feud, it was only logical that Mandy would try to have Kathie kill Hazel.

"You bitch!" Amy pounced on Mandy in anger. Mandy was still thinking about proving her innocence and didn't expect that Amy would attack her. By the time Mandy came to her senses, her hair was being pulled by Amy as she continuously slapped her across the face.

"Mrs. Anderson!" Fred quickly tried to separate them, but Mike stopped him.

Mike clutched his collar angrily, "Fred Cohen, we have been friends for so many years! Everyone knows that you are supporting Mandy, who is clearly an imposter. Tell the truth, is it you who asked her to frame my daughter deliberately?"

There was no way Fred was going to admit it, but Mike would not let him go, they just kept pushing each other.

Mandy wasn't going to allow herself to be beaten up, so she was trying her best to fight off Amy, but the struggle caused both of them to fall to the floor.

Amy landed on top of Mandy and continued to scratch and bite at her, "Bitch! Why did you use my daughter? Why did you frame my daughter?!"

Mandy's heart was full of hatred. She had never thought she would be in such a difficult situation in front of so many people. She tried hard to block Amy's attack as she shouted, "It wasn't me! You can check the monitor! I didn't do those things!"
