MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Ivan's expression softened a little. He said again, "Just apologize to Karla, and this thing is over."

Hazel suddenly felt that all this was so absurd.

When Ivan's friends did not believe her, she was only angry. However, when Ivan did not believe her, she was angry and hurt.

"What about you?" Hazel looked at Joshua. "Do you think I pushed her and framed her?"

"How could that be?" Joshua said quietly. "You said no, that means no, and I believe you."

Hazel's look relaxed. She felt a little warmth in her heart, but she was still enraged. She thought that all these people did not believe her. But when she was feeling completely desperate, Joshua said firmly that he believed her.

Seeing the changes on Ivan's face, Karla was afraid of the growth of suspicion in Ivan's mind, so she yelled, "You are here together. You're her accomplice, so no wonder you'll speak up for her! And would give us a reason to believe this thief,"

Hazel took a deep breath and said, "Karla led the way. She said we should take a shortcut to save time. Then she deliberately threw the camera on the ground and told me to pick it up. When I went to pick it up, she was going to push me from behind. I dodged, and she fell down the hill and sprained her foot. Believe it or not, that's the truth. As for why Karla did all that..."

"Hazel, stop your cheeky lying!" Karla worried that Hazel would tell all about her secret love for Ivan, so she hurriedly interrupted, "You said that you like Ivan and did not like seeing Ivan so close to me, that's why you wanted revenge against me!"

Hazel was really admiring Karla's performance.

Ivan looked at Hazel with some astonishment. His eyes were full of surprise and hidden joy.

Joshua laughed and suddenly embraced Hazel's waist with one arm, "You said that I am her accomplice, then Hazel should like me, right? Why would she like someone else? I don't think Hazel's taste is that bad."

Hazel went flushed. Before she dodged, Joshua gently kneaded her waist. She was a little stunned, but she understood Joshua immediately.

Ivan's face was getting bleak.

"You, you two liars!" Karla said, somewhat flustered.

Hazel was really fed up with Karla. She suddenly stepped forward and approached Karla.

"What are you doing?" Karla stared at her without fear.

Now that so many people were around, she didn't really believe that Hazel dared to do anything.

"Karla, I'm just a friend of Ivan's. I know you like him. But why do you think of me as an invented enemy?" Hazel said coldly, "Besides, even if I really wanted to do something to you, I would not have used that kind of coaxing and deception. I prefer this!"

Hazel suddenly grabbed Karla's and performed a beautiful shoulder throw. Karla was slammed down to the ground!

All of them were astounded. Karla was in absolute shock and didn't move out of fear.

They never expected that Hazel could subdue Karla with such a neat and quick move.

Hazel's move was faster than their reaction. Hazel looked thin and small, but she actually packed that kind of power?

Ivan was stunned. In all the time they had been friends, he never knew Hazel was so good in close-quarter combat. And, while Hazel was so strong, it's not necessary for her to deceive Karla into the depths of the woods and push her down the hill.

Everyone looked at Karla suspiciously.

As the pain of her sprain spread, Karla was even more agitated. She hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Hazel, you kept this to yourself for just this moment, huh?"

Hazel suddenly felt a bit ridiculous, obviously, their relationship was closer, and she expected them to believe in her.

"I have evidence," Hazel said suddenly.

"What evidence?" Ivan looked at her with dismay.

"Hazel, you're bluffing!" Karla shouted, "You don't have any evidence at all!"

"Ivan, check your phone. I expect that my number is in the blocked caller's list." Hazel said confidently, "Karla planned to push me down the hill, and I could not call for help."

Startled, Iven checked the blocked list on his phone and found Hazel's number.

Ivan suddenly felt a chill go up to his spine.

Hazel didn't touch his cell phone yesterday, and Karla had borrowed his phone for a while.

Did he actually misunderstand Hazel?

"I will go back with you." Hazel looked at Joshua. She had explained herself anyway.

"Good." Joshua took her belongings.

While two walked out of the room, everyone looked at them with fear, and Ivan was the only brave one who dared to chase them.

The rain had finally stopped as Ivan ran outside after them and said loudly, "Hazel, you..."

"If you think I stole something, then please call the police," Hazel said indifferently. "I didn't steal it, and I won't let you touch my things without my permission."

"Hazel, I believe you." Ivan hesitated and said.

Hazel felt quite ridiculous, "You believe me, and you still want me to apologize to the one who framed me?"

Ivan did not speak.

"In fact, you still don't believe me, don't force yourself." Hazel said, "But it doesn't matter. I'm not angry now."

"Really?" Ivan looked at her with some hesitation.

"Yeah." Hazel nodded, "I am just in the same university as you. Karla is the niece of your mentor, and the others are your classmates. You are close to each other. That's why you chose to do that to me."

Ivan's face was pale. It sounded like Hazel was extremely disappointed with him now. He suddenly regretted that he had not believed Hazel.

Ivan clearly knew Hazel was an honest and straightforward girl. But...when he saw a strange man in Hazel's room, he seemed to have lost his composure.

Ivan's mentor walked toward them from the backyard. He glanced at Joshua in amazement.

Suddenly, the mentor hurriedly walked forward and said, "Mr. Denmark? Are you Mr. Denmark?"

"Professor Lee, how are you?" Joshua smiled and nodded to him.
