MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

She knew she had to find a way to stop them from fighting, or else everyone would think that they were fighting over her. With that in mind, Hazel rushed past Crystal and jumped in between Joshua and Simon.

In the blink of an eye, they stopped fighting and grabbed Hazel's wrist.

With each of them holding a wrist, Hazel wanted to crawl under a rock and never show her face again. She had just wanted to stop the fight, but they were holding on to her, she could feel their strength increase and knew that they would pull in different directions.

"If either of you dares to pull me in one direction or the other, I will hate him forever!" Hazel gritted.

The two men saw more and more onlookers around them and understood the situation.

"Sweetheart, just walk with me if you don't want that to happen," Simon smirked and threatened.

Hazel said with an imposing whisper, "That's why you are not as good as Joshua. He would never threaten me like that!"

Simon had an evil expression as he glared at Joshua. 

Joshua twitched his lips, and he whispered, "I will count to three, then we will both let go."

"No, I have a better idea." Hazel suppressed the mortifying thoughts of what her classmates must be thinking.

The next time they saw her, it would probably be at graduation, before the ceremony, there was no way she would not go back to the university.

"Are you...okay?" Joshua whispered.

"Absolutely and unquestionably!" Hazel said through her clenched teeth, "Whoever doesn't cooperate, I will hate forever!"

Simon shrugged and agreed.

"One, two," Hazel whispered, and then she yelled, "Three!"

After she said three, her wrists were released at the same time. She put out her palms, and in a swift, graceful movement, she slammed them both on the chest.

"Ah-!" Simon yelled, then stepped back a few steps and knelt on the ground. He exaggeratedly said, "Powerful energy attack!"

Joshua also fell back a few steps, his eyes full of contempt. He could not believe what a drama king Simon was being.

Everyone was shocked. They thought that it was a love triangle, with the two men fighting over a woman. Then they saw Hazel push both of them back a few steps, and one was kneeling down to her.

The onlookers wondered what kind of issues they were having, it was peculiar to see a scene like that on campus.

"O... Okay! This one was good, I'll use it for a clip in the next movie!" Hazel raised her voice.

What? What the hell?

Everyone was stunned. It turned out that this was just a rehearsal for a movie.

Since Hazel was a senior, everyone knew about her. They couldn't help but think that the rumors surrounding her were true, as they recalled Joshua-Hazel Pictures was said to be an experimental business run by her.

They assumed the rumors were true, and it was possible for her to experiment before actually shooting another film. However, they could not figure out what film she was planning to shoot with that kind of scene. Before they could ask her, Hazel left, she didn't want to continue the freak show any longer.

Although her methods may have only confused people, it was better for them to be confused than know what was really happening.

"Sweetheart..."

"Hazel..."

As the two men chased after her, they shot deadly looks at each other. There was suddenly a fierce spark in the air, and they were about to fight again.

"Which one of you dares to do it again?" Hazel spun her head around and glared at both of them.

Joshua and Simon reluctantly dismissed the thoughts and urged to attack.

"Sweetheart," Simon quickly caught up to her and said, "You've seen that I am the best man to be with you. Joshua is boring and dull. He doesn't know how to accommodate you. Look at me, I acted courteously to you!"

Joshua fought back and said, "You only let others think there are three psychopaths here!"

"Even if that's the case, my sweetheart is willing, right? Sweetheart?" Simon said with a smile.

Hazel was mad about the entire situation. After the three of them had got away from the onlookers, she turned to Simon and said with annoyance, "What do you want?"

With Joshua present, she didn't have to worry about what Simon would do to her. She just wanted him to say what he wanted to and then leave her alone.

"I said it. I came to take you away." Simon said with a smile.

"Oh." Joshua sneered. He thought he had just made it clear that Simon would stand no chance to take her away while he was around.

"Impossible!" Hazel said firmly.

  Simon sighed and continued. "I didn't say that I am taking you now. I've come to see you today because I have something important to tell you."

"What?" Hazel asked subconsciously.

"I just want to talk to you alone." Simon smiled charmingly.

"You can say it now or never!" Hazel said impatiently.

"It's very important, a matter of life and death," Simon said with a smile.

Joshua really hated Simon and hated him even more when he approached Hazel. However, he could not ignore anything that might endanger Hazel.

"I will wait for you in front," Joshua whispered.

Hazel caught his sleeves in a panic, "But..."

Simon smiled while grinding his teeth. He saw that Hazel was afraid of him, but she trusted Joshua so much, it made him really uncomfortable.

"Reassured, he won't have a chance to take you away," Joshua said softly.

"Okay, I believe in you," Hazel said.

When Joshua and Crystal were far enough away, Hazel said, "Can you talk now?"

"Really a cold-blooded woman." Simon shrugged, "But, you really need to be careful now. In the last two days, someone has put a high bounty on your head, to take your life!"

Hazel was a little shocked, "Who?"

"You go with me, and I will tell you." Simon smiled.

"Oh, I don't think you know anyway." Hazel sneered, "You are just lying so that I will go with you, right?"
