Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Do you mean—" he said, looking at the burly men who had been caught, "that these men are here to catch you?"

"Yes!" She gritted her teeth. To stay out of this, she continued, "They like my beauty, so they want to destroy me! They have nothing to do with me. You can treat them in any way you want!"

Worried, the group of men began to say, "We like your beauty? Don't flatter yourself! We're after your money!"

"Yeah! Do you really think you are so beautiful that we would commit crime for you?"

"You are such a wicked woman. We only want your money, and you want to get us killed!"

"By the way, the resort village is so well guarded. If you hadn't brought us in, could we have entered this place?"

The men Madeline had paid betrayed her one by one. They were very sensible. They, who had suffered a lot, would rather offend Madeline than Joshua.

"Sir, you, you, believe me, it, it is not true..." Faced with these questions, Madeline looked at Joshua and stammered.

"Fine, I believe you." Joshua opened his mouth coldly.

Madeline was delighted in the heart. Joshua actually believed her? She knew that Joshua could not be uninterested in her. There must be something wrong with her, so Joshua just tried to teach her how to behave herself. After all, men didn't like smartass women. He must have wanted to warn her before he accepted her as his woman.

Thinking of this, she was sure of her own thoughts. She wore a pitiful look, "You saved me. No matter what you want me to do, I'll behave myself..."

Joshua looked at her sarcastically. This woman was really a drama queen.

"It's not true, this woman is lying..." The men defended themselves helplessly.

Joshua came to them, curling his lips coolly. "Since you are after her, I will give you this woman as a personal favor. You can do whatever you want to her. Begin."

"What?!" Madeline's face was livid. The bodyguard who had caught her even began to push her into the burly men's arms.

Madeline's shirking responsibility just now had hugely pissed those men off. Now that they had Joshua as a backup, they would certainly not be polite to Madeline.

"Bitch!" The leading man slapped Madeline in the face.

Madeline felt half her face was numb. She had been growing up smoothly. When had she ever been slapped like that?

She was shocked and angry, but what happened next gave her nothing but fear and panic!

"Didn't you say we covet your beauty? You vilify me, and of course, I should make the crime come true!"

"Yes! I think it's clear that this bitch is lustful and wants a man. We're fulfilling her sexual needs!"

***

Saying harsh words, those men directly walked up to tear Madeline's clothes off.

With the sound of ripping, Madeline felt a chill on her body. She cried in horror. "No! Don't touch me, you filthy, cheap scum!"

The burly men who were cursed were even angrier and were even more unkind to her.

Madeline was totally scared now. She stared at Joshua for help, but his face was full of coldness; he didn't care what was happening to her at all.

She was completely desperate. She understood it now. If she didn't tell the truth, Joshua would really have these people ruin her!

"You mustn't touch me! Do you know who I am?" She gritted her teeth and shouted loudly, "I'm Simon King's fiancée! I'll kill you! Kill you!"

Joshua cocked an eyebrow slightly.

The next moment, he raised his hand, and the bodyguards separated her with those burly men.

Her heart was full of aggrieved anger. She snapped, "Joshua Denmark! I'm Simon King's woman. The whole organization is deferential to me. If you're sensible, let me go!"

"Do you think I'm afraid of Simon King?" Joshua's eyes were full of sarcasm. "It seems you have forgotten that I hurt him personally. I don't take your organization seriously, not to mention Simon!"

Madeline took a step and almost fell. She was really too angry just now, so she bluffed with Simon's reputation. She did not care about Simon's injury. How could she find out who had hurt him?

But all this was actually done by Joshua? Right, in Country Z, with Joshua's power, he really didn't have to fear any organization.

Madeline had no idea her own backup was so easily punctured by Joshua. The thought that he might hand her over to the low men who she despised made her heart filled with dread.

"It's Simon King who has asked me to do this! He's behind all this! Go to ask him. Don't ask me!" Madeline gritted her teeth and directly blamed everything on Simon.

"I will." Standing up, Joshua quietly said to his bodyguards, "Take her away and lock her up."

"What, what do you want to do?!" She was shocked. "Joshua Denmark, I've told you everything. Why don't you let me go?"

At this point, she wouldn't think Joshua didn't let her go because he wanted to do something good for her. If he didn't let her go, she would likely live a hard life for the rest of her life.

Joshua turned around, unwilling to say a word.

It took him a long time to deal with Madeline, so he had to hurry back to keep Hazel's company. Whether this woman was Simon's fiancée or not, he couldn't let her go.

She tried to seduce him this time. He didn't know what she would do next time if he let her go. Anything that could harm Hazel must be eliminated.

Moreover, he wouldn't allow any uncertainty to exist until his big thing was finished.

Back in the barbeque hall, Joshua saw Hazel happily eating in the distance. Simon seemed to be saying something to her, and she looked very impatient.

"What are you talking about?" Joshua came to Hazel with a smile curving his lips.

"It's him," she said, looking unhappily at Simon. "who is trying to drive a wedge between us again, saying you must have cheated on me because you haven't been back for so long! He was dying to stir up trouble!"

"Mmm." Joshua nodded. "You're right."

"Pumpkin," Simon was very unhappy. "How can you say I drive a wedge between you? His room is not far from here, but he changed clothes for so long. Aren't you afraid he's lying to you? Dare you ask him why he came back so slowly?"
