MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"Enough!" Ted looked very unhappy.

He didn't care about many things, but he cared about Stacy.

Hazel's words, she's suffered so much over these years, were like knives piercing his heart.

He had heard the doctor say that Stacy had suffered some mental trauma.

He had been afraid to think deeply about it because he had been afraid to think about how despairing Stacy had been in the past. He had always felt that if he stayed by Stacy's side and made amends, she would get better and thus forgive him.

But thinking of Hazel's words, don't wait to regret until things are irreversible,' he totally panicked.

For the first time, he found that Hazel had a poisonous, cruel mouth like Joshua. Ted could not and did not dare stake his Stacy.

"All of you, go outside!" Ted waved his hand irritably.

After the servants and bodyguards had all retreated, he stared at Stacy unblinkingly. Suddenly, he saw her clenched fingers relax slightly.

Ted's eyes flashed with astonishment.

So… Hazel was telling the truth?

He had thought it was Stacy's habit, but the truth was that she was nervous?

Ted was filled with remorse in the heart.

Hazel was secretly relieved. Ted was arrogant, conceited, autocratic, and very egoistic, and he liked to control other people's lives, but at least he had some weaknesses.

His weakness was Stacy.

She took two steps forward, but before she could get to Stacy, Ted came up to her with a grim face and stopped her.

"What do you want?" Ted asked with a face full of vigilance.

"... isn't it you who asked me to accompany Aunt Stacy?" Hazel asked with a puzzled face.

In an instant, Ted's face went black. He did ask Hazel to keep Stacy's company, but that was when some people kept an eye on Hazel. How could he ever trust Hazel to be alone with Stacy when his people were absent?

"In fact, Mr. King, if you don't trust me, you can keep one or two people," Hazel, who was sensible, said quietly. Of course, she could guess what Ted was worried about.

Ted looked even paler. In his opinion, Hazel was not only not sensible, but deliberately provoking him!

"... No need!" Ted's face darkened, and he moved out of the way. He had given the order. How could he possibly go back on it just because of Hazel's words?

"Mr. King, what do you want to tell me?" Joshua came up to Ted and asked lightly, "Do you want us to go somewhere else to talk?"

Ted's heart was filled with reluctance. He replied with an unhappy face, "... Wait a minute! It is not urgent."

With his eyes fixed in Stacy's direction, Joshua couldn't help but sneer. Ted said it was not urgent, but the fact was Ted still couldn't trust Hazel.

Sitting in a chair, Stacy looked ahead with glassy eyes.

Hazel sat opposite her and whispered, "Aunt Stacy, I'm here to visit you again."

Stacy still looked blank and dazed, but she suddenly raised her fingers when she heard Hazel's words!

Her movement was light, but it was obvious enough!

"How is that possible?!" Ted said with a look of incredulity. He watched this scene in shock!

He had been staying with Stacy for months, but she had been motionless like a puppet without a soul, except when she went mad! Hazel just said one sentence to her, but Stacy actually had such a reaction?

Out of the corner of his eye, Joshua looked at Ted as his eyes flashed with a touch of sarcasm.

"Hazel used to visit mom when she was in the nursing home," Joshua spoke light. "It was only after seeing Hazel that mom got better and better. Not only could she recognize people, but she also held Hazel's hands and listened to her for half a day. Hazel was originally the closest person to my mom."

So that's it?! Ted was really taken aback.

He didn't know it at all. After finding Stacy, he went straight to the best psychiatrist in Country M. Because he was angry with the Sloane family who had kept Stacy secret, Ted didn't send anyone to Country Z to investigate Stacy's condition or her past in the nursing home.

He had no idea that he had missed such an important point because of his actions! If he had known that… he would have caught Hazel to accompany Stacy!

"Not right!" Ted's face hardened slightly. "How do you know that?"

Joshua was not supposed to remember this since he lost his memory.

"I have a mouth. I ask." There was full of sarcasm in Joshua's voice. "Grandpa told me these things. When I came back, I brought my mom's medical records with me, which should be helpful to her."

"Since you brought the medical record, why didn't you hand it over to me earlier?" Ted was irritated.

"I thought…" Joshua sneered. "How could Mr. King, who was so worried about my mother, have not even gotten her medical records? It looks like I've underestimated your conceit."

Ted looked terribly pale.

He was the leader of the organization. With one word, he could decide the fate of many people. Over time, he always felt that everything that he did was right. Besides, the facts proved that he could not make the wrong decision.

Hence, he became more and more conceited until… Joshua and Simon joined forces and tried to kill him.

It was the first time that he had been shocked because it was his two biological sons who wanted to kill him. The prouder he used to be, the more miserable the blow was to him. Therefore, he chose to feign death in despair.

He suffered the shock the second time when he knew Stacy was still alive. He realized that he had been fooled for many years.

And now it was the third time.

Joshua and Hazel used their behaviors to show him how absurdly wrong he was.

He had been considering Hazel as a scheming woman, but now he was more or less dazed. Since Hazel dared to scold him in front of him, could it be possible because... she really loved Joshua and was willing to put up with the grievance for him that she was well-behaved yesterday?

No! The idea only flashed through Ted's mind for a moment before he vetoed it.

It was originally true that Hazel had been romantically involved with his two sons. Because of this, he wouldn't allow such a dangerous woman to stay with them!

When Joshua noticed Ted's look changed ceaselessly, Joshua's eyes grew colder and colder.

It seemed that he should never have had any hope for the arrogant Ted from the very beginning because Ted was incredibly stubborn!

"Send me a copy of the medical records later," Ted said in a deep tone. "Also, I don't think Stacy likes Hazel very much."
