MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Hazel and Joshua did not return to the Denmark family but went to their 'secret base.' Besides, she did not forget to call her parents to tell them that she was safe first. Of course, they rebuked her seriously for leaving early.

Joshua woke up early in the morning. Then he went downstairs to make breakfast for Hazel. Last night, he kept consoling Hazel because he knew clearly that Hazel needed a sense of security from him.

Hardly had he arrived in the kitchen when his phone rang.

It was from Jaxson who said Simon wanted to talk to him.

"Joshua Denmark, let's bury the hatchet," when Simon got the phone, he said it directly.

"Bury the hatchet?" Joshua furrowed slightly. "Simon King, you knew from the beginning that those people were going to kidnap Hazel, but you were indifferent. How can you be qualified to ask me to bury the hatchet with you?"

That was what Joshua was most annoyed about. Simon used to harass Hazel, but he never made use of her safety. However, Simon really did something that made Joshua unable to forgive him this time.

"What if I tell you I was prepared enough to keep her safe?" Simon said leisurely. He really didn't want Hazel to get hurt, so he had already made arrangements. If Hazel really fell into the hands of the organization, he would try to ensure her safety.

Nonetheless, he didn't expect Joshua to rescue Hazel in such a violent way directly. But that was also great. He had got what he wanted, and it would, of course, be better if Hazel could stay out of it.

Simon came to his senses and continued, "I'm not talking about burying the hatchet for you and me, but for Pumpkin. You gave me those two guys yesterday, and I can use my life to guarantee that no one in the organization will ever do anything to endanger her safety."

Joshua was silent for a while before saying coldly, "Simon, do you think I would believe you?"

"Joshua, I know you dislike me, but you shouldn't bet on Pumpkin's safety," Simon continued very patiently. "The organization is not as weak as you think. They just came to invite Pumpkin this time. They didn't want to make a big deal, so they fell into your hands.

"If you really continue fighting against the organization like this, you can protect Pumpkin for a while, but can you be prepared for the organization's retaliation all the time anywhere?"

Joshua frowned firmly. He didn't think about that.

Indeed, if the organization really targeted Hazel, it would be very difficult for him to keep her safe all the time. His goal was to protect her. As long as this goal could be achieved, it wouldn't hurt if he needed to make some concessions.

"I agree!" Joshua said in a deep voice, "You must remember what you said!"

Hazel came downstairs. Just then, the Golden Retriever they kept wagged its tail very obsequiously. She felt its head with some pleasure.

When she looked up, she saw Joshua making breakfast in the kitchen while making a phone call.

She played with the cat and the dog until Joshua asked her to have breakfast. She washed her hands and sat at the table.

Looking at the good-looking, tasty breakfast, she couldn't help praising, "Joshua, you are becoming a more and more virtuous 'wife'!"

"As long as you like it." Joshua's mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners as he gave her a hamburger.

Hazel played with her phone while she drank milk.

Before Joshua could remind her to concentrate on her meal, Hazel almost spits out a mouthful of milk.

"The Shawn family directly cut ties with Katie and drove her out of the house?" Hazel asked in surprise. She had just read the news about Katie on the phone.

It really took her by surprise. Katie had always been cunning. After all, she had bullied Callie for so many years that Callie couldn't lift her head in the Shawn family.

Moreover, the Shawn family had been caring about their fame and had hidden even Katie's and her mother's real identity for so many years, but now they were actually willing to reveal their own scandal.

Furthermore… Even if Katie had been spoiled before, they still abandoned her without hesitation for the sake of profit. It really made her sign with complicated emotions.

"That's the best solution they can come up with. To minimize the damage, they certainly need to cut ties with her as soon as possible," Joshua quietly took the phone from Hazel, and he whispered, "Concentrate on eating, don't play."

Hazel stuck out her tongue and obediently began to eat.

After breakfast, Joshua sent Hazel back to the Denmark family. Later, he went directly to the Sloane family.

When the servant informed Grandpa Sloane, Grandpa Sloane thought he had misheard himself. He clearly remembered that he had been calling yesterday, but Joshua never answered the phone.

Grandpa Sloane was well aware that Joshua seemed to hate him very much and didn't want to get too involved with him. But why did he directly come to his house today?

"Invite him in." Grandpa Sloane finally said. Joshua would make some concessions and come directly to him, presumably because something bad came up.

The servant took Joshua directly to the study. Grandpa Sloane was sitting in front of the chessboard, playing international chess by himself.

"Master Joshua, you come? Sit down, please," Grandpa Sloane looked at him with a complicated look for a while and finally said.

Joshua sat opposite him.

"Can you play chess?" Grandpa Sloane took the initiative to break the embarrassing atmosphere.

Joshua didn't answer his question. "I'm not here to play chess with you today. I have a question I want to ask you."

"Oh?" Grandpa Sloane was a bit surprised, and he couldn't help asking, "What's it?"

Joshua's eyes narrowed slightly. The next moment, he asked very directly, "Who is my father?"

"Cough cough..." Grandpa Sloane's hands shook, and the chess pieces in his hands directly smashed onto the board. His face paled unusually, and he didn't want to play chess anymore. He never thought Joshua would ask this directly!

He didn't want to reunite with them at all before, did he? But why did he suddenly care who his father was?

Grandpa Sloane arranged the pieces in panic. His eyes wandered as he said, "Did Master Joshua ask the wrong person? How could I know who your father is?"

Joshua's eyes were a little dark. There was very little information about Stacy Sloane in those days, and the information he had found about her was very simple. It was because it was so simple that he knew that someone likely had erased the information about Stacy completely.

The Sloane family's forces weren't powerful enough to do such things. What made him even more confused was that in the data, Stacy died more than twenty years ago... It was Stacy's young sister who was mentally ill and was kept in the nursing home.

The people, who should be dead, were still alive. The story behind this must not be that simple. Having said that, he was not interested in it.
