Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

He hung up the phone and looked at her. "Pumpkin, I'm busy..."

"Go ahead then." She waved her hands. "I'll look for them by myself, I don't need your help."

Simon was so pissed off that he almost spat blood. Why hadn't he found Hazel would act so shamelessly? The point was that he couldn't do anything to her yet. If this girl really kicked up a row, it would be difficult to deal with.

"Aren't you going?" looking at him, who wore a gloomy face, she asked. "You're not busy, are you?"

His face grew darker, but things over there were really urgent. He thought a little and finally said, "As you like. Anyway, you won't find anything!"

With that, he hurried away with his men.

She breathed a sigh of relief secretly. Since Simon had left, all she needed to do was find out where Madeline was hidden.

She looked at the study again and then measured the room simply by steps.

Something is wrong.

Hazel seemed to think of something. She went out of the study and walked into the bedroom next to the study. By measuring the distance from the study to the bedroom in the same way, she finally figured out what the problem was.

The distance between the study and the bedroom was much shorter than that between the two rooms and the passage. In other words, there should be another room between the two rooms.

Hidden room?

Hazel went back to the study and searched for the mechanism.

But after she touched the whole study, she still didn't see anything like a hidden door.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the bookshelf leaning against the wall. What if it was not a hidden door?

She thought for a moment and directly went over, trying to push the bookshelf away. But it was too heavy for her to push away.

Hazel was a little helpless. She took the books off the bookshelf and knocked at it as a feeler. "Anyone here?"

She was answered by a dull tapping sound which almost made her hair stand on end in the empty study.

The tap was very low, but she heard it.

She could not help knocking again. This time the tapping sounded again. She listened to it intently and quickly found where the voice came from. She took the books near the place away. Then she reached the board behind the bookshelf. The wood board was movable.

She hurried to pull open the board and then saw Madeline's gaunt face in the narrow window.

"Hazel, get me out of here!" Madeline shouted at Hazel in desperation.

Hazel's fingers tightened slightly as she said indifferently, "I can get you out of here as long as I'm satisfied with your answer."

"... You get me out of here, and I'll tell you everything!" Madeline gritted her teeth.

"Do you think you can bargain with me?" Hazel folded her arms and looked at her with a half-smile.

"I don't trust you!" Madeline's heart was a little more anxious. She couldn't help saying, "What if you go back on your word after I answer your questions?"

"Then you'll suffer a loss." Hazel opened her mouth quietly. "So you better pray I'll keep my word."

Madeline was so furious that she almost passed out. She was the one who was questioning Hazel, but Hazel actually answered like that? Although she had sworn at Hazel countless times, Madeline knew she wasn't eligible to bargain.

If Hazel were willing to save her, she would make a profit. Otherwise, she would have to admit she had been completely out of luck. If she was strong-willed and didn't tell Hazel anything, she was pretty sure Hazel would definitely turn away to leave.

Because she seduced the guard last time, Madeline was directly imprisoned in this little dark room after Simon caught her. Even the meals were sent in by Simon himself through this window.

The only chance for Madeline to be saved was Hazel, so even if she might be cheated, Madeline had to try.

"Go ahead," Madeline said reluctantly.

"You said Joshua is still in the country. What is he doing now?" Hazel asked coldly, her eyes deep.

"... He has joined hands with Simon!" Madeline said.

"Why do they join hands?" Hazel frowned. This fact, which was confirmed by Madeline, didn't surprise Hazel. As Madeline's eyes rolled back and forth, Hazel's voice went cold. "Madeline Carter, don't lie to me. You should know I can't be easily fooled!"

"... I don't know." Madeline finally gave up the idea of telling lies and said it with somewhat frustration. She really didn't know about it. The guard she seduced at the beginning seemed to know little. She only knew Joshua was plotting with Simon in Country Z instead of going abroad.

"You only know this, but you want me to get you out of here?" Hazel's face was very cold. She reached out her hands to close the board.

"Please don't go!" Madeline was frightened and hurried to speak, "I really don't know something else, but I've told you everything I know! It seems they want to plot against the organization... By the way, there is one more important thing that you do not know! Joshua and Simon are half-brothers!"

"What?! Say it again!" Hazel was very shocked internally. In a flash, she came closer to Madeline. If it hadn't been for the bookshelf, Hazel would have rushed over to grab Madeline!

Madeline had intended to use the news to force Hazel to save her. But when she saw Hazel was about to devour her, Madeline shivered and directly spoke up, "Both, both of them are really biological brothers, which the old master has known…."

Hazel staggered and clutched the bookshelf. The impact of this news on her was too great!

Simon and Joshua are actually brothers? Is Simon's father the one who made Stacy insane?!

How is that possible?!

Hazel's head was a mess. It seemed there was something in her mind that she wanted to grab, but she failed to catch it.

"What else?" she snapped. "What else do you know?!"

"I, I don't know anything else…." Madeline's legs went weak because Hazel frightened her.

Hazel let go of the bookshelf and stepped backward.

Madeline was relieved when Hazel stood further away. Madeline suddenly felt she was really a good-for-nothing as she was actually scared by Hazel. There was obviously a massive bookshelf between them!

Hazel seemed to be thinking, and then she held out her hand to close the board.

In an instant, Madeline became panicky. "Hazel Crowe, you said you would save me!"
