MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Hazel's words seemed to have encouraged Simon. He immediately commanded his men, "Turn, go to the island!"

A servant took the snacks to them. Hazel reached for the greasy food with greedy eyes. Simon frowned and then let her go. "You are like a little girl who really knows how to destroy the beautiful scenery."

"This is just who I am, and you will have to get used to it," Hazel said while hiding her smile. And then she looked at the people behind them and said, "I think you should make your men stay farther away. They are really destroying the beautiful scenery."

Chester was hesitant and wanted to say something. Simon waved and said, "You stand farther away."

"But..." Chester looked at Hazel with worry. He couldn't figure out what she was up to.

"It doesn't matter." Simon smiled, "This is my place. I am not afraid of any little tricks some woman may try."

Of course, he was aware that Hazel's behavior was odd, but he figured it was just a small island. What would Hazel be able to do?

Chester and his men left the deck and went to look at the island in the distance. Simon went to stand next to Hazel, "Are you still looking forward to Joshua saving you?"

Hazel was just putting a french fry in her mouth but paused for a moment when she heard his question. 

"I advise you to give up." Simon looked at her and said calmly, "I am not scared to tell you that Joshua did come to save you. However, I am more familiar with the sea. To lose him, my ship went through a lot of hidden areas that had no signal at all. Even if he wanted to chase us, he had no idea where to go. Now, we are so close to my place. When we get there, he will never find us in this lifetime!"

Hazel's fingers were clenched, Simon was even more cunning than she thought.

"And, I received more news." He sneered, "Joshua has given up. That kind of man is not worth your precious thoughts."

Hazel lowered her head. If Joshua hadn't contacted her earlier in the morning, she would have been shaken when she heard Simon's words.

"I believe he won't give up on me." Hazel suddenly raised her head and looked straight at him.

"So, you plan to lure me to the island, then take the opportunity to escape?" Simon looked at the island that was closer and closer and said with a smile,

"Sweetheart, do you really think that there is something to help you escape on a small island like that?"

"Of course not." Hazel smiled, "But Joshua can."

As her voice just fell, a helicopter took off from a hidden spot on the island, and hidden ships rushed out to surround the ship.

Hazel stood on the deck smiling. With the sea breeze blowing her clothes and hair, she looked like a fairy under the dimly lit sky.

"...You!" Simon's pupils suddenly shrank. He did not expect that Hazel and Joshua were working together on the island set up.

Simon didn't hesitate, he lurched forward to attack Hazel. However, she dodged him, then grabbed the plates full of food and threw them at him.

Simon paused for a second, wiped the food off of him, and tightly grabbed Hazel's wrist. He clenched his teeth and said, "Sweetheart, you almost escaped! I should really be thanking you. My fear of germs isn't nearly as bad anymore. Go!"

The strength of Simon's grip increased a bit more. He forced Hazel to walk in the direction of the cabin. She struggled hard to break free, but she was weak. It was impossible for her to break free. However, that did not mean she would give up.

Simon's men were far away, and Joshua was behind her, always ready to save her, but if Simon got her to the cabin, it would be difficult to escape.

"Let go!" Hazel shouted. They were outside of the cabin, and she was becoming more anxious. She was trying to figure out what she could do.

There was suddenly a gunshot, and the bullet hit just in front of Simon.

The helicopter had been hovering over the ship. Simon looked up and saw a figure jump down from the helicopter's ladder.

Hazel's eyes lit up, it was Joshua there to save her.

Joshua could see that Simon held Hazel tightly, he looked furious. He pulled his arm back to hit Simon in the face. The heavy punch landed on Simon's face, he stumbled back a few steps and let go of Hazel's hand. 

Simon regained his footing and fixed the mask on his face. By the time he looked at Hazel, Joshua had her behind him.

"You are Joshua?" Simon asked with a little surprise. Joshua replied with another punch. 

Simon immediately attacked Joshua, they were attacking each other with no real winner. Joshua was so aggressive, and he didn't show any mercy. Simon had repeatedly taken Hazel from his protection and frightened her so much, it was unforgivable.

Simon was able to find Joshua off, not giving Joshua the opportunity to knock him out. 

Chester heard the gunshot and immediately brought his men to the deck.

When he saw the two men fighting, he quickly took out his gun and aimed at Joshua.

"He is mine!" Simon yelled, "You take Hazel and go!"

Chester was angry and put in a helpless position. He wondered why Simon was only worried about Hazel. Simon spoke, so he had to listen, he put his gun away and tried to figure out a way to capture Hazel.

Joshua's rescue ships had gotten close to the ship, and many of his men had jumped onto Simon's ship and stood around Hazel as a shield.

Both groups started fighting but only with fists, they were afraid of hurting Hazel, so none of them used a gun.

The helicopter was low enough that they could reach the ladder to climb up it.

Suddenly, there was a bright light that illuminated the deck.

"Flash bomb!" Chester exclaimed and instinctively covered his eyes.
