Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Clark didn't think that Joshua actually investigated him so thoroughly in such a short time. He completely cracked and told Joshua everything. Joshua listened to him indifferently and walked out with no facial expression.

Jaxson followed him, and he asked in a low voice, "President, what should we do next?"

"Give him a chance to escape and remember to have someone follow him," Joshua said in a deep voice.

"Do you think he is lying?" Jaxson asked, astonished.

"It's not necessarily lying," Joshua squinted. "What he confessed was true, but not all he said was true."

Although Clark confessed that several directors had asked him to do it, Joshua didn't feel that things were that simple. Others probably used the directors of Denmark Group, there was someone behind them controlling the entire situation.

Even though Hazel hadn't slept well, she rushed to the factory early. She had dealt with the sudden fire, but she knew there would be problems that needed to be taken care of as soon as possible.

Hazel created orders to fix the damage, and even though the building may have been destroyed, the relationship between her and the managers was much better. They started listening to her orders but what made her most grateful was that Chris didn't want to hide when he saw her.

After ordering all the work, Hazel planned to go to the hospital to see Mandy. She wanted to comfort her after she was hurt in the fire, but before she had a chance to leave the office, Mandy walked in the door.

"Why didn't you stay in the hospital?" Hazel asked.

"Manager Crowe, the doctor said my injury isn't serious. I don't need to stay in the hospital," Mandy explained. "I think you'll be very busy the next few days, so I wanted to come and help."

"There is nothing you can do. I want you to take a few days off. You should recover from your injuries first." Hazel sighed. "It's just working. Why are you working so hard?"

"Because Manager Crowe, you have helped me a lot, I just want to show my gratitude to you," Mandy said seriously.

"Okay, then go home," Hazel said firmly. "If you really want to help, then you should rest and recover as soon as possible."

She persuaded Mandy to go home and then called Joshua.

"Did you find Clark?" she asked impatiently.

"I did find him, and he confessed everything." Joshua said, "but he has already escaped."

"Escaped?" Hazel was somewhat astonished. The next moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you deliberately let him go?"

"Yeah." Joshua admitted, "I think that there is someone behind him. What about the factory?"

Hazel simply described the situation.

"Pay more attention over the next few days," Joshua said. "This time, they didn't succeed, so I am assuming there will be next time."

"I understand," Hazel said in a low voice.

The fire caused the morale of the coffee factory to become very low. Hazel thought for a while and planned to launch the coffee series in advance.

However, things happened just as Joshua predicted. There was a lot of negative news about online drama. Hazel could not help but feel that the other party was really brilliant, knowing that the drama was a lot of effort.

Using the negative publicity could bring shame to the drama and ruin the name of the coffee related to it. Fortunately, Hazel had been prepared ahead of time and took some actions to maintain public relations. She had the negative news turned into part of the media hype.

After all of the hype, online drama became even more popular. Hazel launched the themed coffee, and with the popularity, the coffee sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves. Even with her preparation, the factory's storage of coffee was sold out, and they couldn't supply enough.

Hazel thought that the fire was just the start of her bad luck, it turned out it was the end. The sales of their theme coffee were through the roof.

When haters said that they just changed the packaging and sold the same product, the fans retaliated and said if they didn't like it, then they didn't need to buy it.

High sales with hot issues made the coffee and online dramas gain a win-win situation. Hazel said that she only came to the coffee factory for a month, and now the overall sales of coffee had increased by a full 50%. It could even be said that according to this trend, it was not a problem to double the sales of coffee in the future.

This kind of achievement almost shocked everyone. The employees of the coffee factories that cooperated with Hazel thought she was talented and admired her.

The directors also knew the news of Denmark Group. They learned that Hazel had completed the task so quickly, and they were disheartened and powerless.

Although they also wanted to create some trouble for Hazel, the directors who had participated in setting the fire had already been arrested. They lost their reputation and everything else they had.

They dare not to make trouble for Hazel? Do they have a death wish? They only hoped that Hazel would return to Denmark Group later so that they could have more time to prepare. Hazel did not intend to let them off the hook. She took the sales report for the first month and went directly to Joshua's office.

Joshua had always been very aware of the situation of the coffee factory, so he just simply read it. "Hazel, you have done a great job."

"Isn't it better for us to gather the directors so we can have a meeting?" Hazel said with a smile.

"You really don't want to give them a chance to make any preparations?" He smiled.

"Of course." Hazel crossed her arms, and her eyes were slightly cold. "Didn't they give me a chance?"

When Joshua was trying to speak, the phone rang. He nodded slightly towards Hazel and pressed the answer button. He lowered his head, and when he looked up, he had a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Hazel asked.

"Clark finally took action," he said.

He asked someone to follow Clark secretly, but he was in constant hiding. It appeared that he never intended to contact the mastermind. However, now he finally made a move.

"He went to find the person behind the fire?" Hazel's eyes were suddenly lit up. "So, did your people catch them?"

"We have caught them." Joshua's eyes darkened.

"Who?" Hazel said, "Take me there!"

She didn't like the feeling of being calculated, so she had to figure it out.

"What happened to the meeting..." Joshua lifted his eyebrows slightly.

"There was no hurry for the meeting. Anyway, nothing will change if we deal with it later," Hazel said in a hurry. "Now, let's go!"

Joshua did not refuse it. He took Hazel together to the villa where Sunny lived.

"Why did you bring me here?" Hazel's face became a little pale. "You mean... the one who contacted Clark to set the fire was her?"
