Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

She put her arm around his shoulder.

She believed Joshua. She would wait to hear him explain what happened until it was over.

She just didn't feel good as she felt that Joshua was risking alone, but she could do nothing to help.

"... I'll wait for you." Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her little unhappiness. If Joshua thought she was helping him by not helping, she would obediently listen to him.

Her eyes drooped slightly, and she suddenly said, "By the way, Jaxson just called, wanting to talk to you about something at work."

When they came out this time, Joshua deliberately left Jaxson at Denmark Group. Hazel asked Jaxson a few questions, and Jaxson didn't hide anything from her. Hence, now Hazel told Joshua everything.

"What do you think this should be dealt with?" Joshua asked suddenly.

"Me?" She was somewhat amazed but told him her thoughts.

He nodded, clearly satisfied with her words, but he also helped her analyze the pros and cons of some things in detail.

She understood instantly, but somehow the uneasy feeling in her heart grew stronger.

She thought for a while and then said, half-jokingly, "Jaxson also complained to me that you've been leaving all the business of Denmark Group to him lately. He's nearly worn out by you."

"Jaxson is very capable," Joshua said quietly. "Also, he has integrity and loyalty. He knows Denmark Group very well. Now I train him so that he can become a professional manager for Denmark Group in the future."

Her heart missed a beat. She looked at him with astonishment. "What do you mean?"

She did understand his meaning. It was because she understood that she asked. Joshua wanted Jaxson to be President of Denmark Group? What about Joshua himself?

She finally understood why she felt so uneasy all the time. What Joshua was doing now was like making arrangements after he died! She didn't want to think in this way, but what he did now made her wonder despite herself how dangerous the thing he was going to do!

"What are you thinking?" He was curious but could not help chuckling and tap his hand on her forehead.

"Ah!" She let out a cry of pain. She put her hands over her forehead and looked at him, aggrieved.

"Jaxson is capable, and I just don't want to bury his ability," he said with a gentle smile in his eyes. "If he can manage Denmark Group, I can spend more time with you. Isn't that great?"

She looked blankly into his eyes, which looked very sincere. Every time she made eye contact with him, she felt as if she was about to be sucked into his eyes.

Unable to find anything in his eyes, she asked uncertainty, "Do you really think so?"

"Yes." He nodded earnestly.

He did think so, but that was not all the reason why he did that. Jaxson's abilities were good, but he had originally had a lot of time to train him before.

The reason why he was in such a hurry now was, in fact… he was making arrangements after he died. He didn't think he would lose when he fought Ted, but things would change sometimes, so he must take everything into account.

Hazel was very talented, but she hadn't contacted Denmark Group long enough. If something bad really happened to him, he didn't want her to be bullied.

Of course, he would reduce the risk of any accidents. That was why he had Madeline locked up even though she didn't do anything outrageous. Simon also understood the importance of this matter, so he did not hesitate to take the blame for him.

During the fight against Ted, he could only win without failure!

For the next few days, Hazel lived a very happy life with Joshua around.

However, news forced them to interrupt the trip.

When Rachel was on a mission, she was accidentally stabbed by a hoodlum with a deadly weapon. Fortunately, only her arm was wounded, with unharmed vital parts.

Rachel didn't want to tell Hazel because she was afraid Hazel would be worried. However, Joshua had always arranged for someone to look after the Crowe family secretly, so he received the news immediately after Rachel was injured.

Joshua knew how important the Crowe family was to Hazel, so he told her about it. Then they directly went to City S.

They went straight to the hospital where Rachel was. After arriving at the hospital, Hazel asked Joshua to consult the doctor about Rachel's injuries while she headed straight to Rachel's ward alone.

Outside the ward, Hazel heard a loud noise.

Had someone come to visit her mom?

She stood in the doorway, feeling a bit surprised. Her face darkened as she heard the voice inside.

It was a loud voice, and she knew exactly who it belonged to. Wasn't that Matt Crowe and his wife who had visited them during the Christmas season?

Hazel clearly remembered that she had a conflict with Scott Crowe, the little rascal and that Fanny tricked her into going on a blind date with an asshole man.

At the thought of it, Hazel was hugely furious. Matt and his family members had done so many disgusting things, but they actually still had the nerve to come to the Crowe family?

If they came to visit Rachel, it would be OK. But how could they just come here to visit a patient, judging from the uproar in the ward?

Thinking injured, Rachel had to face the two tricky people, Hazel pushed open the door without hesitation.

The noisy ward suddenly became quiet. Rachel looked at Hazel in surprise. Why is Hazel back?

When Matt and Emma saw Hazel, they were thrilled at once.

"Hazel, you're back?" Emma came up to her, complaining a little, "Your mother has been in the hospital for two days. Why are you so late? It would be best if you went back to your hometown to find a job after you graduate from college. Imperial capital is a great place, but what's the point of renting an expensive house and earning a low salary? Look, now your mother is ill, but you aren't able to come back in time…."

"It's none of your business!" Rachel on the bed interrupted her face darkening.

Of course, they wouldn't tell the Matt family with malicious intentions about Hazel's current identity. Harry and Rachel wouldn't allow this kind of shameless relatives to pester Hazel in the least.

Therefore, the Matt family had no idea that Hazel had found her biological parents and that she was not who she used to be.

"What on earth are you here for?" Hazel said coldly. "If you have nothing else to say, please leave. My mother has to rest."

Looking at Hazel's cold look, Matt and Emma felt a bit timid somehow in the heart. But the next moment, the two of them were exasperated. Hazel was merely their junior, how could they be afraid of her?
