MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Jaxson felt ashamed. The gang just wanted to make trouble, and he still sent people to chase them. He obviously fell into their trap. The rest may not know anything, asking the leader was enough. 

"Shut him up! We need to hide again." Joshua commanded.

"Yes, Sir." Jaxson agreed immediately.

They noticed that there was a devious-looking man on the corner watching the fight.

"Sir, it's him." Jaxson was surprised.

He did not expect that he would come home so early. He knew that he would be home for lunch, but he did not know the exact time. So, he had arranged for his men to wait all morning, now the man had noticed them and became watchful.

"Get him!" Joshua did not hesitate to order.

The man realized he was the one they were waiting for when they all turned and looked at him, he ran as fast as he could to lose them.

Hazel was sitting in the car waiting. Suddenly, she saw from the rearview mirror that someone was running in her direction. Joshua's bodyguards were chasing him.

Watching that the man was approaching, Hazel pushed the door open just at the right time.

The man was knocked down, Hazel got out of the car.

"You..." The man glared at Hazel. He watched as the people who were chasing him got closer and closer, a flash of viciousness appeared in his eyes. "Bitch! You dare to stand in my way. I am going to take you as my hostage."

He was getting up from the ground and was ready to pounce on Hazel.

Hazel reacted quickly and kicked him back to the ground.

"Ah!" The man's face turned white. He was writhing around on the ground in agony. He never expected that he would be kicked down by a woman.

Joshua and his bodyguards ran to the car. He asked nervously, "Hazel, are you okay?"

Seeing that the bodyguards had grabbed the man, Hazel replied, "I'm fine. This man is just a bit stronger than ordinary people. He is not my opponent. Is he the one you are looking for?"

"Yeah. His name is Wade Davis. He loves to gamble. When he has no money, he will steal things." Joshua told her. "Hazel, you were a great help."

"He would not have escaped even if I wasn't here." Hazel asked, "So, what is the rest of the plan?"

Wade Davis yelled out before Joshua replied to Hazel, "Are…are you guys ordered by the woman to kill me? Tell her to let me go immediately. I served her for the whole night and have some 'souvenirs.' If she dares to do anything to harm me, I will leave her to be utterly humiliated."

Hazel and Joshua did not expect him to say that. Did he think that they were on the same side as Vanessa? He said he had some evidence, which was a real surprise.

"I don't believe you," Joshua said to Wade coldly.

"There is a video on my mobile phone! You can check it yourself!" Wade said confidently. "Let me make it clear, I have also sent the video to a friend of mine. If anything happens to me, I told him he must put the video online."

Hearing that, one of the bodyguards took the phone out of his pocket and handed it to Joshua.

"Jaxson," Joshua took the phone and instructed, "Take him to the hospital. Watch over him until we get the results."

Jaxson nodded.

Feeling that they did not intend to let him go no matter what, Wade was scared. He began shouting and kicking as the bodyguards pushed him into the car.

Joshua and Hazel went back to their car, Joshua looked through the phone and found the video.

Hazel also leans forward to watch it, but Joshua closes it immediately.

"I haven't seen it yet." Hazel was confused.

"Hazel, nothing important to see." He put away the phone.

"Give it to me." Hazel was intrigued and took the phone.

She opened the video. However, she returned it to Joshua quickly after a glance.

"I told you." Joshua chuckled and closed the video.

Hazel turned to look outside and ignored him.

"Hazel, do you believe me now?" He asked her gently.

Although she just glanced at the video, Hazel was already convinced that nothing happened between Joshua and Vanessa. Vanessa had lied to them.

"Joshua, are you going to be angry with me for not trusting you before?" she asked awkwardly.

"It's my fault. I did not explain to you, and I was also not with you when you were in danger and made you sad." Joshua blamed himself. "I didn't do anything that would make you trust me. Hazel, I will only be angry with myself."

Hazel bit her tongue.

Joshua was so good to her. Even if she misunderstood him, he did not blame her but blamed himself.

However, his attitude toward her made her feel uneasy, which she thought were more like what would have among a family such as siblings. Did Joshua treat her as his sister? Because the Denmark Family had adopted him, and he wanted to return the favor? That was the reason he was so good to her? Or did he really like her?

"Hazel?" Joshua called her name softly. He knew Hazel was thinking about something.

"I… I want to think about it more." She lowered her head and did not ask out her questions.

"Okay." Joshua blinked his eyes and did not keep asking.

Hazel's phone rang the moment she reached Denmark Residence. It was her brother, Ronald, she did not want to answer.

She regretted crying on the phone in the morning, and he might still be worrying about her, so she answered it.

"Hazel, have you back to City S?" He asked.

"Well... Ronald, I failed to catch the train and could not make it back." Hazel was a little embarrassed.

"Why not change to another train?" Ronald was puzzled. "What about I call our parents and tell them to come there to see you?"

"Please don't. Ronald!" Hazel immediately refused. She was in a dangerous situation now, and she did not want her parents to come.

"Ronald, I was homesick this morning because of the nightmare I had last night. I could not hold it back and cry. Actually, I'm fine now. Don't tell our parents to come, they are so busy. Do not bother them for this little thing." She hurriedly explained.

Ronald was in silence on the other end. He could feel from the phone how sad Hazel was this morning.

However, it was only a day. Hazel did not feel sad now? She even changed her mind and did not go home now?

There seemed to be only one explanation that made sense.

Ronald was nervous, he suddenly asked, "Hazel, have you fallen in love?"
