MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Hazel stuttered, "You are Joshua's..."

"We are his biological parents," the old woman pointed to the young man and woman opposite. "They are his younger siblings."

Hazel was still in shock, and she didn't want to believe what the woman was saying.

However, these people knew that she was Joshua's girlfriend and knew that Joshua was not a true descendant of Denmark's family. She had to find a way to confirm the authenticity of the woman's words.

"You come with me," Hazel said. This small restaurant was not a good place to talk.

After paying for the meal, Hazel asked Mathew to go back to the set first, and she led them out of the restaurant.

Inside the car on the side of the road, Susan looked at them with excitement and quickly dialed Sunny's number.

"Mom, they have already found Hazel!" Susan said happily. "You are awesome. You created big trouble for Joshua! Mom, the Flores Family are really annoying badasses! With them around, something will happen between Hazel and Joshua, and we will be able to take advantage of it!"

"You need to let the Flores family take care of things. Make sure you tell them, don't go too far in front of Joshua from the beginning." Sunny said coldly. "Joshua is very gentle normally, but he can turn demonic when necessary! And, it would be best if you kept a low profile in the future. Do not harass Joshua in case he would look at you as a target!"

"I understand," Susan said absent-mindedly. She then asked doubtfully, "But, Mom, I am inquisitive. Are the Flores family really Joshua's relatives by blood? Why do I feel that Joshua doesn't look like them at all?"

"Whether they are or not, we have to let others think that they are Joshua's biological parents!" Sunny sighed. "And, I guess Joshua's relationship with the Flores family is not so simple. Even if there is no blood relationship, Joshua would not easily walk away from them. You must make good use of this family..."

"Okay, I got it!" Susan's voice was a little impatient. "Mom, how many times can you say that?"

"Oh." Sunny sneered and hung up the phone.

Hazel took the family to a back booth in a nearby coffee shop. She found out on the way that the old couple's names were Lanny and Caroline Flores, the son's name was Henry, and the daughter's name was Theresa. 

When the waitress asked what they would like, they ordered a table full of steaks, pizza, coffee, and desserts. The Flores family, all except Theresa, gorged on the food as if they had never eaten before.

"Hey..." Hazel made a helpless opening. "Why do you think that Joshua is your son? Do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence?" Caroline suddenly became angry. "I carried him and gave birth to him. What evidence do I need?"

Hazel couldn't help but frown. "If there is no evidence, you can't just say that Joshua is your son."

Caroline was angry, she looked like she was going to cause a scene, but Lanny stopped her and said. "Okay, let me talk to her about the things that happened in the past, so she will help us."

Caroline put on a poker face and didn't say anything. Lanny took out a cigarette and finished smoking it in a second, and the whole booth was filled with smoke.

Then he said, "That was more than twenty years ago. Joshua is the seventh child born in our family. But when he was born, we were so poor, and we could not afford to raise him. So, we sold him to a woman who passed by. And our family used the money to survive..."

"Wait!" Hazel interrupted him, "You said you sold your own child!"

"We were too poor at the time." Caroline couldn't help but argue, "He has five older brothers, and we had to feed them. One of his sisters even starved to death. He would probably have died if he stayed with us. And now you can see that just because we sent him out, he has lived a life of fortune, am I right?"

"So, your son needs to thank you for selling him?" Hazel was feeling outraged. Whether their son was Joshua or not, the shamelessness of this family had exceeded her imagination.

"Yes, of course," Caroline said in a low voice.

Hazel's face turned uglier, and Lanny said, "No matter what the reason was, it had already happened. Although my wife's words are not pleasant, what she said is true. If he had lived with us, now he would've been a poor kid from a remote place, how could he have become the president of a big company?"

"Even if you sold your child, you did not prove that Joshua is your child?" Hazel said coldly.

"We gave the child to Jennie. She opened an orphanage at that time. We have already heard that Joshua is a child from that orphanage!" Caroline quickly said.

"There are so many children in the orphanage. I think your child could be another one among them." Hazel still looked indifferent.

"Impossible, how do you think we made it here?" Lanny said with an ugly face.

"To tell you the truth, we have always been very poor. But five years ago, we suddenly received help from someone. He not only gave us money but also helped find jobs for all of my sons. Our situation has been better since then. However, we can't accept kindness without knowing who is behind, right? Later, we figured it out. It is Jennie who has been asking people to send money and help us."

"Aunt Jennie helped you, and you hurt her?" Hazel's look was even colder.

After listening to this story and their family name Flores, Hazel naturally guessed that this family went to the orphanage to make trouble, and they also injured Jennie.

"Who said that she helped us?" Caroline suddenly stood up in anger and shouted, "That is not her money at all. It is Joshua who asked her to transfer the money! We came to her only because we wanted to see our son, but she always made excuses and kept him from us! She must have

secretly stashed the money that my son gave us over the years. She did not want us to see him because she did not want to be exposed!"

Hazel was stunned. Joshua used to let Jennie transfer money to the Flores family?

She remembered that Joshua's look was a bit peculiar when she talked about the matter concerning the Flores family.
