Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Whether her identity as Denmark's daughter was real or not, she couldn't keep running away from Joshua just to escape the problem.

"Are you ready?" Joshua asked, his eyes deep.

"Mmm." Hazel nodded her head firmly. She knew she had to face reality.

After Joshua and Hazel cleaned up the kitchen and walked to the car. When they got in the car, Joshua took out his phone and turned it on. Hazel was shocked, she hadn't figured out why nobody bothered them during their getaway.

She looked at him with curiosity and said, "Did you turn your phone off?"

"Yes," Joshua said quietly and smirked. "Of course, since I was on the run with you, I didn't want anything to disturb us."

Although she was completely speechless, it was a good feeling, she felt warm all over. Joshua was always so sweet; when he realized she was in a bad mood, he always did whatever he could for her.

She couldn't resist saying, "... Aren't you afraid they would make waves behind your back?"

"If they can make waves to destroy Denmark Group in a few days, then I really want to throw in the towel." A smile curved Joshua's lip. "I'm not as useless as you think, Hazel. If they want to target the Denmark Group, they're going to humiliate themselves."

"So, you are awesome, aren't you?" Seeing he was so confident, she smiled slightly. "Do you want me to hug, kiss, and lift you in the air?"

"Yes," he replied without hesitation.

Hazel didn't know how to reply, then she said darkly, "I can't lift you."

"But I can lift you." He chuckled.

She was about to say yes, but she was in a daze before speaking gloomily, "Hey! That is not the point, okay?!"

Joshua smiled as he listened to Hazel, even when she was flared up, he still thought she was adorable. He reached out to touch her hair.

"Drive carefully, don't caress my hair!" She was unhappier and muttered, "I'm not a puppy."

"Mmm," he withdrew his hand, "You're more like a kitten, I think."

She glared at him.

"By the way, what did Susan and Sunny say to you yesterday?" Joshua's eyes were a little dim.

He knew they had met in the break room yesterday, but she wasn't in a good mood, so he didn't want to upset her by mentioning anything about Denmark Group.

"I didn't say anything," Hazel recalled back and told him what happened in the break room.

Joshua scowled, Susan surprised him a little, but with her personality, she could easily be taken advantage of. Besides, she wouldn't know anything useful anyway. When it came to Sunny's attitude, he could not find doubt, either way, she was neither distant nor close.

"Joshua, I think..." She frowned for a moment and then stopped.

"Don't think about it," he said firmly.

"I haven't said anything yet!" She looked at him in surprise.

"I can guess what you're thinking," he said quietly. "Do you want to be friends with Susan and find a way to go to Joseph Residence with the hope of finding some evidence?"

Hazel was embarrassed instantly. How could Joshua know her thoughts?

"No way," Joshua said quietly. "Susan's unpredictable, and it's too dangerous for you to stay with her. What's more, it's not clear whether Sunny is a friend or foe at present."

"Are you suspicious of Sunny?" she asked in surprise.

"I'm not going to let anyone that I doubt go," he said quietly, "You'd better concentrate on your graduation thesis defense."

Hazel had been dealt a huge blow by the last sentence, she was left feeling depressed.

As soon as he finished speaking, his cellphone rang. He calmly answered the phone, and Jaxson reported the whole situation involving the company.

As Joshua said, even though Denmark Group's directors harbored evil intentions, they couldn't do anything to him.

"I see," he said quietly. "I'm already on my way back. I'll be there in about two hours."

After hanging up, he looked at Hazel. "Come with me to the company?"

"Forget it." She shrugged. "The directors don't like me anyway. If I strut in there, won't I upset them? I'd better go back to Denmark Residence. Just as you said, I'll prepare for my graduation thesis defense."

"All right, I'll take you back to Denmark Residence first," he said.

"Does it need to be so troublesome?" She chuckled. "Let me take you to the company first, and then I'll drive myself back to Denmark Residence."

"Hazel…" He frowned a little.

"That's a deal!" she nodded firmly. "It's up to me this time, you have to listen to me!"

"Okay." He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After taking Joshua to Denmark Group, Hazel drove back to Denmark Residence. On the way there, she kept thinking about how she could naturally approach Susan Edwards. Although Joshua didn't agree, she didn't want to give up.

Suddenly, the car behind her suddenly passed her, the car quickly spun around and stopped sideways in front of her. Hazel tensed up and slammed on the brakes.

It was apparent that they were targeting her. She narrowed her eyes slightly, she could see that she was only a few hundred meters away from Denmark Residence.

Joshua had always been very attentive to her safety and to the security at Denmark Residence. The fact that the car had been able to follow her around undetected meant that the car did not appear to be a threat to her, so no one seemed to care.

Four girls dressed very fashionably got out of the car. Hazel's eyebrows relaxed slightly. They didn't seem to be much older than 15 or 16, which was not a real threat to her.

"Get out!" The girl taking the lead knocked on her window impatiently.

Hazel opened the door and calmly got out of the car.

"You're Hazel?" The girl asked impatiently.

"I'm Hazel." Hazel couldn't help but furrow slightly. "Who are you?"

"Do you deserve to know who I am? You impostor!" The girl sneered and said with a fierce face. Then she turned around to look toward her friends, "Do you think so?"

"Yes, yes! How do you still have the nerve to live in Denmark Residence? If you want a man, you can pimp yourself out! But you actually annoy Master Denmark. Do you think you deserve him?!"

"How can she steal Mandy's place? Master Denmark is really blind. Doesn't he know this kind of bitch has been played with by many men?! I think she made Master Denmark confused by making love to him!"

"Hazel, if you really don't want to lose all of your dignity, move out of Denmark Residence!"
