Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Katie held her head up with pride. She enjoyed basking in any reflected glory of Joshua's reputation. After all, she didn't believe that anyone would really ask Joshua for confirmation.

The manager looked at Katie like she was an idiot. How could she dream at this point?

The guest Joshua Denmark had asked them to take care of was Hazel, whom these women have a hard time too!

"In this case, Miss Shawn can ask Master Denmark to explain the situation personally." The manager waved his hands impatiently. "Show them out."

Katie's calm face froze. She really did not expect her trick to also fail, and the other side retorted with her statement!

The women tried to argue, but the manager directly asked the security guard to drive them out.

As they were driven away in front of so many people, these socialites, who had never suffered a big frustration, paled visibly.

Of course, they didn't forget what Hazel had said, so their gaze wasn't friendly at all as they stared at Katie.

"Katie, what's going on here?!" asked one of the socialites bluntly.

Katie put on a pitiful expression at once, with tears in her eyes. "I think you can tell that... We've been friends for so many years. Don't you believe me? Do you really think that woman would have an outstanding identity?"

The socialite was hesitant.

"Yeah! If she's really outstanding, how come we have never met her? I see, it's the man who she beds with is outstanding!" a woman who got on well with Katie spoke maliciously.

"Yes, it must be! She might be the mistress of some old man and will be dumped in a few months!"

Because they were driving, they were very angry and gossiped.

Katie breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, they had all been fooled by her this time.

But the incident wasn't as simple as she thought. Many of their VIP cards belonged to their mothers. The store not only canceled the VIP cards but also called the owners to explain the situation.

Of course, they said these ladies had failed to bully a customer and thus wanted to cancel the membership. The madams knew their daughters' characters and knew they could do that. Plus, since the store didn't even give them a face, presumably these daughters must have offended the wrong person.

Many of these daughters got reproving calls from their families. Some were even requested to go home and be grounded, and some people's living expenses were confiscated. For these reasons, Katie's 'sisters' who used to get on well with Katie on the surface, weren't kind to her anymore.

Of course, Hazel didn't know that. After she picked her clothes, the manager packed them for her. When he showed her out, he gave her a list.

"What is it?" Hazel asked curiously.

"Here's a list of the women who have just insulted you," the manager explained.

"…" Hazel was speechless. Did she look like a vindictive woman? But this was the manager's goodwill, so it wasn't good for her to refuse, and she could only take it.

She had arranged for Crystal to buy her something else. After leaving the store, she and Crystal met with each other, then went to a few more places before leaving.

Hazel originally planned to return to Denmark Residence, but she finally arrived at Denmark Group with the stuff  on her hand without a second thought.

After making her way to the President's office without a hitch, she pushed the door open and found Jaxson reporting to Joshua.

She nodded at Joshua. "Do your job. Don't worry about me."

After that, she asked Crystal to leave all her trophies in the office.

When she almost finished her job, the conversation between Jaxson and Joshua ended.

"You've had a good day." Joshua's mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners.

"Yes, I've bought quite a few," Hazel said, "but I'd like you to help me choose the better ones. I trust your insight."

"Okay." He nodded.

"By the way, do you know the Shawn family?" she asked suddenly.

That Katie, who had claimed to be Joshua's girlfriend and repeatedly basked in the reflected glory of Joshua's fame, really pushed her to the breaking point.

"The Shawn family?" Joshua frowned slightly. "Was there anything happening today?"

If not, Hazel wouldn't suddenly ask about the Shawn family.

"No." She was a little embarrassed. Joshua was way too sensitive.

"Honey," there was a sharp flash in his eye. "Do you want me to investigate it?"

Hazel was helpless. If Joshua did, of course, he could find out what had happened.

After thinking for a while, she briefly told him the incident.

Joshua's face clouded. He listened calmly, but his heart was filled with anger.

Hazel was used to downplaying the severity of incidents, but he could hear how she was picked on by the women behind her words.

They actually dared to bully his sweetheart?!

"Are they the people who have bullied you?" Joshua took the list out of a bag.

"Ah?!" Hazel was speechless. She had slipped the list into a bag, but how could Joshua happen to touch it?

"I can also confirm that myself." He looked at her quietly.

This sentence cut off Hazel's denial thoughts. She said unhappily, "Yes... But it's no big deal…."

They had bickered for just a while. In fact, she didn't care much.

Joshua's eyes darkened. Hazel was magnanimous, but he could not bear to see her wounded at all. He handed the list to Jaxson. "Send these people an invitation to Hazel's party later."

Hazel was in a daze, but she soon came to her senses. Joshua sent invitations to these people so that they could see who they had offended at her party.

She had always thought Joshua was very sedated, but how could he come up with such a childish, mean trick?

"Is it necessary?" She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Yes," he spoke seriously. "On that day, I'll make sure they apologize to you in person."

She was amused and moved. Good god, she loved Joshua, who was so childish and mean!

"Who are you in conflict with within the Shawn family?" Joshua frowned slightly.

"It's Katie Shawn." Hazel was a bit hesitant. Joshua didn't mention people for no reason. At least it meant that he cared about the Shawn family, which made her a little uneasy. "The woman we saw at the auction. You knew each other…."

"I didn't know her." He shook his head calmly.

"Miss Crowe, you misunderstood." Jaxson tried to explain, but Joshua looked at him with piercing eyes.

"Call her Mrs. Denmark." He is correct.

"..." Jaxson was speechless. He was taken aback just now. He thought he had said something wrong, but it turned out it was because of an address? However, Joshua was so serious that he did not dare to disobey him.
