MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

The light in Hazel's eyes darkened. It seemed that everyone thought Joshua was with her only because of her identity. She took a deep breath and calmly took out her phone.

"I am willing to gamble. Why don't I call Joshua and see if he will help me or if he will let you go?"

Joan's facial expression suddenly changed. "You wouldn't dare?"

"Why wouldn't I?" Hazel smiled slightly. "If I win, then your family will go bankrupt. If I lose, I have lost my dignity. That is something I can live with; I don't see a reason not to call."

Joan's face suddenly became pale. Even if she wanted to bully Hazel, she knew that Hazel was telling the truth. She wouldn't lose anything, but it would still benefit Mandy. However, if Joan lost, her life would become extremely miserable. She wondered if it was worth getting involved.

Joan looked at Mandy nervously, but Mandy, like her, had a very upset face and didn't intend to help her.

"Miss Wilson..." Joan shouted in a hurry.

"It is useless to call her," Hazel blinked. "She is not Joshua's girlfriend. Why would he listen to what she says?"

Everyone's facial expressions suddenly looked more upset, all of them, like Joan, began to regret what they had said. They had all recognized Mandy as the Denmark family's daughter, so they ganged up to bully Hazel, forgetting that she was hard to bully and had a powerful supporter.

They knew they shouldn't have got involved, as soon Hazel took out her phone.

"Hazel, this is not a big deal. You should not be so petty..." Mandy bit her lip, and she finally said.

"I have the final say on whether it was a big deal or not. Also, I have always been petty and vengeful." Hazel smiled lightly. "I don't know if Joshua is busy right now, but that doesn't matter, he will take my call even if he is busy."

Her words appeared to have an effect on Joan. She hurried to Hazel and begged, "Miss Crowe, I was wrong. I said something that was wrong and impolite. If it insulted you, I apologize…"

"Apologize and…?" Hazel looked at her.

Joan clenched her teeth and raised her hand. She didn't hesitate to slap herself in the face, but before she could hit herself, Hazel grabbed her hand. Joan looked at her with confusion.

It was very clear that if Joan slapped herself, she would hate Hazel. Considering the enemies that Hazel already had, she did not want to have any more or add allies to Mandy's cause.

Presumably, Mandy taught them to cause trouble deliberately, and in this case, she should naturally give Mandy some payback.

"Fine," Hazel let go of her hand. "I won't really call Joshua to complain about this little thing. However, this is something that has nothing to do with you, so don't worry. After all, your supporter may not protect you."

Joan had a complicated expression on her face, but Hazel could see that her words had already persuaded them. If they wanted to support Mandy, they were afraid and would not help Mandy to bully her.

Mandy's face was dark and evil. She wanted to do something, but no matter what she did, she couldn't save her dignity. After all, what Hazel said was true, Joshua would not listen to anything she had to say.

"Miss Crowe, sorry, we were too impulsive just now, and we said impolite comments..."

"Yeah, it was our fault. Please don't take it seriously..."

For fear of being punished by Hazel, other women ran to her one by one to apologize. Mandy saw them running to Hazel, she grits her teeth. The group of women was really unreliable, she had to do something so that Hazel wouldn't be so proud.

"Hazel, I heard that your relationship with Joshua has some problems?" Mandy suddenly said.

Hazel looked at her. "I didn't even know that my relationship with Joshua has problems. How do you know?"

Mandy said, "In the past, wherever you went, Sir Denmark was with you, but I haven't seen you go to Denmark Group in a few days. Now I only see you, and I didn't see him, so it just seems strange."

"We are not joined at the hip, why do we have to be together all the time?" Hazel said indifferently.

"Sorry, I thought it was Sir Denmark who couldn't leave you alone." Mandy

smiled slightly. "After all, everyone said that he was only with you because of your identity. I was worried that because of recent events, your relationship with Sir Denmark was affected…"

The women started thinking again, they wanted to please Mandy, and it wasn't because she may have been the daughter of the Denmark family, they just wanted to get close to Joshua. Mandy's comments gave them confidence that there may be a flaw in the relationship between Hazel and Joshua, leaving a chance for them. 

"Everyone?" Hazel lifted her slightly, "I am very curious, who is everyone?"

"I am also curious." Suddenly, a warm voice said. The women turned around and saw Joshua as he passed by them and went to sit with Hazel.

"My wife, why did you call me and tell me?" Joshua wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered.

"You were busy, so I didn't want to bother you," Hazel said and smiled slightly.

"You won't do this in the future," Joshua gently touched her nose. "You know that I can't live without you."

The ugly expressions on the women's faces said more than they could speak. They looked at Mandy again, their eyes were filled with anger. They wondered about Joshua and Hazel, if their relationship had problems, then why were they together.

The only conclusion they could come to was that Mandy lied to them and wanted them to cause trouble for Hazel. It was clear that Mandy was using them, and they were unhappy about it.

Mandy's face was as ugly as any of them. She wanted to yell that it was just because of the Denmark family identity that Joshua would do that for Hazel. However, she couldn't because she was more than likely the daughter of the Denmark family, and Joshua refused to look at her.
