MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

The whole living room was quiet in an instant, and everyone looked at Rachel with shock.

Rachel angrily pointed at Hazel. She yelled, "Hazel, what's wrong with you! I have raised you for so many years, and I need to watch you massage some woman? Another woman blatantly grabs for your boyfriend, and you still bear it? Who taught you to endure so much?!"

Hazel was lost when she suddenly realized that she had overlooked something. She had been worried about what Caroline said, but she forgot that her mother, Rachel, was a policewoman. Her observation was meticulous. Rachel saw it earlier but did not say anything, she wanted to see more.

Everyone was dazed, they thought Rachel was scolding Hazel, but then they heard the true meaning of her words.

Caroline did not think of when she was bullying Hazel that Rachel, who looked like a good-tempered woman, could get angry so quickly.

"You, you dared to pour tea on me?" Caroline wiped her face and said with amazement and anger.

"What will you do even if I poured the whole pot on you?" Rachel said with anger. "Where do you get the courage to bully my daughter in front of me? If you weren't so old, I would hit you!"

"You... I will fight with you!" Caroline madly rushed toward Rachel.

Rachel was angry, she reached out calmly and forced Caroline to fall on the ground.

The whole living room was quiet then Caroline tried to attack Rachel again. Rachel was too fast and knocked Caroline down in one swift move, she was down on the ground within seconds.

Lanny and Henry were angry and going to help, but they just stood frozen with fear. They were too afraid to even move.

Seeing that Rachel looked at him, Henry suddenly put his head down and stumbled back two steps. "That... Mrs. Crowe, you, don't be angry! My mom was wrong; you can take it out on her, don't look at me!"

Seeing that her husband and son were so useless, Caroline was trembling and struggling to sit up. She looked at Hazel and shouted, "Hazel, you look at your mother bullying me?!"

Hazel was stunned, and Caroline would actually call out to her during something like this, it seemed incomprehensible. She wondered, since the Flores family asked for her help and most of the conditions were met, she gave them the impression she could be easily bullied.

She didn't say anything, she just listened to Rachel as she got angrier. "What the hell are you talking about? I am her mother, not you! She can see what is happening for herself!"

Caroline was stunned, she could hardly speak. She stuttered and said unwillingly, "Hazel, don't forget what you promised me..."

"Do you dare to threaten my daughter in front of me?!" Rachel was livid, she angrily rushed at Caroline, who was still sitting on the ground scared.

She tried to crawl away shouting, "She is going to kill me! Save me!"

When Lanny and his son saw Caroline crawling in their direction, they immediately got frightened and backed away. The two men hurriedly said, "Why are you so mean? What did you do to make Mrs. Crowe so angry?"

Looking at the dysfunction of their family, Rachel's eyes were cold, she took a deep breath and said, "Hazel, come with me! We are leaving!"

Hazel nodded, and she had already got what she wanted, and she didn't have to stay to please them. When the Flores family saw that they were leaving, they did not try to stop them.

As they were going down the stairs, Rachel was filled with anger. She turned to Hazel and said, "Hazel, you better clearly explain to me what the hell is going on! I don't remember teaching you to let others bully you like that!"

Hazel was a little embarrassed. "This is a long story. I don't know what to say..."

"You don't know how to say it, then I will ask you!" Rachel's eyes suddenly became sharp. "You just have to answer my questions, don't lie to me!"

Hazel tensed up. She knew it was over, Rachel was tough, and her intuition was sharp, so Hazel could not lie to her. 

"Then let's talk in the car." Hazel opened the door.

"I will drive." Rachel sat in the driver's seat, and she sneered. "I am worried that if I ask your question, you may get into an accident."

Hazel burst into tears, and it seemed that today she couldn't escape.

When she got in the car, she heard her say, "You are living with Joshua now? Is this car also yours?"

Hazel was frightened to speak. Her mother was right, she didn't know how to react to her questions, and if she had to answer while driving, she probably would get in an accident.

"It's true that he gave it to me... But we are not living together. Don't worry. We have never done anything that crossed the line," Hazel hurriedly explained. "Just because of some things, I temporarily live at Denmark Residence, so it is more convenient..."

"Temporarily?" She said, looking at her. "Hazel, Hazel, you have no defenses for others. How can I not be worried? We can skip all of this, for now, I want to ask you. What is wrong with the Flores family? How can they be such a shameless family?"

"Mom, you are awesome. When they saw you in action, they were all scared of you!" Hazel pleaded with a flattering.

Rachel snorted. "The ones who fear me are the ones who have done bad things, with bad intentions. Their family looked really bad…Hazel, don't change the subject. This family and Joshua, what is their relationship?"

"Hmm..." Hazel suddenly had a headache. She was most afraid of her asking this because she still hadn't figured it out.

"Are they his parents?" Rachel asked.

Hazel was shocked. She looked at Rachel in shock. "Did they tell you this?"

Even with Rachel's police skills and sharpness, she would never have guessed so accurately unless the Flores family told her.

"Is it real?" Rachel asked with curiosity.

Hazel felt like she was drifting, she suddenly felt so depressed. It did seem that Rachel may have only been guessing, and she was not sure, so she just assumed.

"I don't know if it is..." Hazel said.

"Hazel, you wanted to lie to me when this was happening." Rachel frowned unhappily. "Lanny and Caroline said that they were Joshua's parents, but what does that have to do with me? They showed that they could influence Joshua's life, and you are demeaned by them. What relationship could they have if they are not his parents?"
