Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Hazel's words left Harry and Ronald speechless. She was right. If Joshua really wanted the property of Denmark's family, there was absolutely no need for him to find Hazel.

"He may not be the property of Denmark's family." Ronald said while his eyes darkened, "How can you tell that he is with you not because he wants to repay the Denmark family for adopting him?"

Harry and Rachel were thinking.

"It's not like that!" Hazel hurriedly said.

"Not like that?" Ronald then asked, "He has been with you only after he found you, right? If you say no, then what does he like about you? According to what you said, Joshua attaches importance to affection and loyalty to people. Then, he planned to use his marriage to take care of you for a lifetime. Isn't this possible?"

Hazel wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Joshua had said that he fell for her at first sight, which did not look so convincing when she talked to her parents. Honestly, she was not completely confident as to why he was with her.

Taking a deep breath, Hazel sighed, "Brother, do you think I can't tell whether he likes me or he just wants to repay his debts to Denmark's family?"

"Okay." Rachel interrupted their dispute. "Let's stay here for a few days, and we will know what kind of person he is."

Hazel was stunned. The last time Crowe's family rushed home, presumably with misunderstandings and dissatisfaction for Joshua. But they were really willing to stay and get to know Joshua? She really didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Hazel left the room. She should at least inform Joshua about this. Her phone rang while she was on her way to find him. It was Isaac Anderson, and she was surprised he was calling, so she answered immediately.

Before she could say anything, Isaac's astonished voice came from the other end.

"Hazel, are you actually the missing daughter of the Denmark family?"

Hazel put one hand on her forehead, "No way... Why could you know this so fast? Don't tell me that the whole world knows it already."

"The whole world? Not yet." Isaac said. "But both those who should know and those who shouldn't already know."

Hazel sighed.

"This Joshua!" Isaac gasped his teeth, "He is actually stealing the goods for himself! The fact is, I was engaged with you..."

"What is stealing the goods..." Hazel was somewhat speechless, and she asked a little blankly, "And, you just said what you have with me?"

Isaac's last few words were spoken with a too low voice, and she couldn't hear them clearly.

"Forget it," Isaac said with a bit of depression. "It doesn't make sense to say this now. We haven't got together for a long time. I will call Joshua. Let's spend some time together."

"Okay." Hazel thought it was good to get together now that she could be herself.

When Hazel just hung up, when the phone vibrated again. She felt helpless. Was it another person who just learned her identity? But this time, it was a text message. Seeing the content of the text message, Hazel's face turned serious.

The text message was sent by Theresa, who simply wrote an address with the word "Help"!

Sure enough, the Flores family had not suddenly become sensible. They must've coaxed Theresa to meet them to set up another conspiracy.

Without seeing Joshua, Hazel rushed out of Denmark Residence, stopped a taxi nearby, and rushed to the address that Theresa sent her.

Theresa's address was very remote. And soon, there were no other vehicles around. Hazel suddenly calmed down.

If the Flores family really had any conspiracy against Theresa, she might not be able to save her alone. After thinking it over, she picked up her mobile phone and sent the text message to Joshua.

Just as the text message was just sent, the car suddenly shook forward, and Hazel almost threw the phone because of the jolt.

"What happened?" Hazel asked blankly.

A car was chasing them and was side by side with the taxi.

"I don't know." The driver was both amazed and annoyed. "What's wrong with that guy? When I go fast, he goes fast too. When I slow down, he slows down too. You wait here. Let me get out and talk to him."

The driver was about to pull over. Hazel looked back and found several cars were close to his car. She suddenly became filled with tension and detected danger.

Hazel quickly said, "Don't stop! Keep moving!"

"What?" The driver was stunned, and Hazel swiftly put her hand on his leg and forced him to press down on the gas pedal. The taxi quickly sped up, and the driver yelled, "What are you doing? You will crash my car!"

"I will pay you!" Hazel said, "If you don't want to die, just drive fast!"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, the sound of a gunshot rang out, the car window was shattered. The other car was obviously trying to hurt them.

The driver realized what was happening, his face turned pale, and he stepped on the gas. The car behind them was right on their bumper and kept hitting their car over and over, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Hazel looked horrified, she was too careless. Even Isaac had found out about her identity, and the Denmark family's enemies would have found out too.

She had been so protected by Joshua that she didn't consider her own safety. The people in the car must have been waiting for her from the beginning.

Although she had sent Joshua a message for help and her current location, the other party was prepared and caught her off guard. She might not be able to get away from them.

Suddenly, a car accelerated and stopped directly in front of the taxi. The driver panicked and slammed on the brakes. After the harsh sound of the brakes squealing, both cars were deformed, and the taxi was forced to stop.

"Get out of the car!" A group of people gathered around. Their guns were aiming at the taxi.

"It's none of my business, I am just a taxi driver..." The taxi driver was taken out of the car, and he said in confusion.

Hazel clenched her fists tightly.

Looking at the black muzzles of their guns, she understood how dangerous her situation was. The other party obviously wanted to catch her alive, but she would not be shown mercy if she resisted.

She pushed the door open and got out of the car.

A man came behind her with his gun pointed at her back. He ordered, "Walk!"
