Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Everyone felt a little overwhelmed with everything that was mentioned. After seeing that Joshua could find so much hidden information and make Mandy confess immediately, they realized exactly how powerful Joshua was.

Although they were unsure why Mandy would have done such senseless things, they could understand that Joshua had evidence, so Mandy confessed because she was worried.

Since Joshua claimed that there was more evidence, it was naturally assumed that it was authentic.

"After the kidnappers took the child, they handed her to one of their younger brothers and asked him to kill her and then toss the body. The brother could not go through with the killing though, he didn't think that she would survive since she was so weak at the time and just threw her on the side of the road." Joshua calmly stated.

He continued, "Later, the kidnapper was caught, he wanted to protect his brother so he did not turn him in, and he became an outlaw. However, I finally found him, and he told me the location that he dropped Denmark's daughter."

A video appeared on the screen. It showed Joshua's men investigating the kidnapper and the kidnapper's brother and confirming the position where Hazel was abandoned.

"After that, the child was adopted by a good-hearted couple. They gave her the name Hazel." Joshua said softly, "The couple retained evidence from when they took Hazel because they knew it might be important."

A set of photos appeared on the screen, it was the place where Hazel was abandoned and the exact same position that was provided by the kidnapper's brother.

Hazel was stunned. According to her foster mother's rigorous character, she must've kept the evidence from when they picked her up. Just how did Joshua get the photos?

While thinking about everything carefully, Hazel knew her life had not been quiet lately. There was no way that Harry and Rachel would remain calm when they heard what was happening. She could not understand why they had not come to see her, though, and when Ronald called her, he just encouraged her to prepare for graduation.

Hazel thought that it was entirely out of the ordinary for her family not to run to her side, but they must have been comforted by Joshua, considering Rachel gave him the photos. She awkwardly looked at Joshua, she had no idea that he had done so much for her.

She understood why he had refused to let her out of Denmark Residence and find information. It was all because he understood that it was the only way to solve the problem. However, Hazel had a problem with him, and she knew that she shouldn't.

"Everyone, are there any more doubts?" Joshua asked faintly.

Given the evidence that was presented to them, the directors did not know what to say. They were all frustrated; before the meeting, they all felt that Mandy was Denmark's missing daughter, but the situation had completely turned around, and they had no reason to object.

"There is no problem..." One of the directors said slyly, "But since you are the adopted child of the Denmark Family, President Joshua, you should have your share of Denmark Group."

"Yes, right, and for so many years, you have worked so hard. It's to your credit that Denmark Group has developed to the scale it has, you should take more shares."

Other directors echoed the idea not because they suddenly found a conscience but because they knew they couldn't take advantage of Denmark Group with Hazel running it. They had only supported Mandy because Fred was behind her, and he was not nearly as resourceful as Joshua, it would be easy to take advantage if it was in Mandy's hands.

If Hazel took over Denmark Group, the person behind her was Joshua, they could not fight with him. They could not see the future, but they all wondered, even though Joshua and Hazel were happy, what could happen in the future. There was a chance that they broke up, he would continue to run Denmark Group but not if it was in Hazel's hands.

They had to remember that if Joshua was still in charge, they had their beautiful daughters waiting to take the crown so they could not let Hazel take over.

"A good man must have a conscience," Joshua said with a serious tone,

"My foster parents treated me so well. Without them, I wouldn't be here today, not to mention that Hazel has suffered so much. I should give it to her."

The directors were suddenly stunned and unable to speak. The words Joshua was using were the same ones used by Fred and the ones used to suppress Joshua and convince him to give Denmark Group to Mandy. None of the directors could find the words to contradict him.

"Since Hazel is really the daughter of the Denmark Family, and Joshua is willing, then she should take over the Denmark Group." Sunny broke the silence.

The directors did not speak. Even if they knew that Sunny was right, they did not want to admit it.

Hazel looked at her strangely. Sunny continued, "We were blinded before. Now the truth is clear, we have to let the children of Denmark Family decide."

"Yes, yes..." The directors had to give in. They would not want to offend Joshua, and they clearly had no other option. The meeting was over, the directors left the room one by one, nobody questioning Hazel's identity any longer. They were too worried that Joshua was going to cause trouble for them.

Sunny did not leave with the others, instead, she walked over to Hazel.

"Hazel, I was deceived by Fred because of his false evidence. I didn't expect you to be victimized. I am sorry." Sunny apologized.

"It's okay." Hazel faintly twitched her lips. Sunny was acting very peculiar and awkward, any illusion Hazel had about her before, she would no longer have.

Hazel suddenly said, "Aunt Sunny, you said that you wanted to give me the property of the Joseph Family. I have thought it over, and given the circumstances, I'm willing to take it."

Joshua's brows raised slightly as he looked at Hazel with deep eyes.

Sunny's face changed. She did say that before, but Hazel had clearly rejected it. Why would she mention it again?

"But Susan..." Sunny said with embarrassment, "I told her you didn't want it. She has been asking me if she could have it…."

"Aunt Sunny, you are not willing, are you?" Hazel said with disappointment. "If Susan wants it too, I will discuss it with her and buy it."
