Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Ted always thought that since Simon went to Country Z to make trouble for Joshua and they both fell in love with the same woman, Simon and Joshua were totally incompatible.

But Ted was pretty sure that Joshua and Simon had joined forces at present.

Joshua, who was thoughtful, couldn't fail to take into account Ted's strongmen on Stacy Island and the organization's retaliation. But it seemed Joshua didn't care about it at all now, which meant he had already figured out how to solve these problems.

Even if Joshua was his son, Joshua had no foundation in the organization. It was impossible for him to get rid of the organization unless someone else could come forward justifiably to take over it completely.

It was undoubtedly Simon King. Even if there were any different voices in the organization, Simon would suppress them.

Joshua and Simon worked together. Joshua wanted Ted, while Simon wanted his organization. They were really his good sons. They tried to deceive him in a bid to catch him off guard. It had to be said that the plan looked perfect.

So, even if Ted had been kept in the dark, he almost figured it out soon.

Joshua looked at him indifferently. He had no idea what Ted was thinking and had no interest in it.

"It's none of your business." Joshua said coldly, "Do you choose to go with me or…"

"Bam!" There was a loud bang, and then the earth shook.

Even if the sound insulation of the study was perfect, the two of them could still clearly feel the vibration outside.

Both Joshua and Ted's faces turned pale at the same time.

Something went wrong!

Ted hurried to the door, but suddenly a strong wind blew behind him. He swerved to block Joshua's attack.

Joshua's attack was like a storm, and Ted had no choice but to hide. He was good at fighting, but he was not young. However, just parrying Joshua's attack like that made him a little overwhelmed.

"What are you doing?!" Ted snarled as he retreated, "Now there's something going on out there. You don't go out to check it with me, but you're actually trying to think about how to deal with me?"

"I don't trust you!" Instead of stopping his attack, Joshua attacked more swiftly and fiercely. "I need to make sure what is going on, but before I can make sure that you're not involved, I have to subdue you first!"

"You..." Ted tried to speak, but the study door was flung open, and two of Joshua's bodyguards directly entered the room and joined him in the fight.

Instantly, Ted's situation got worse.

Seeing that his men had not come to rescue him, Ted confirmed his previous suspicions. Joshua couldn't reach Stacy Island no matter how powerful he was. Only the people from the organization could be transferred to Stacy Island, and only Simon could transfer them.

It must be Simon who had managed to get his men to sneak on the island, and then, with these spies' help, Ted's men were brought down.

"Just give up resistance!" Joshua said in a deep tone. His goal was never to kill Ted. When he thought about Stacy's suffering, he thought he would be too kind to Ted if he let Ted die.

Ted paused, and a bodyguard stepped forward to grab him.

Then the bodyguard took out handcuffs and handcuffed him to a chair.

There was a volley of gunfire outside. It didn't sound very clear, but it still gave people pressure.

"You, stay and keep an eye on him. Don't let him run away," Joshua said to the bodyguard, "I'll come back to pick you up when I know what's going on outside."

The bodyguard agreed. Joshua was ready to leave the study with another bodyguard.

"Bang-" With a loud sound, the whole villa shook again.

"Joshua, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you thought," said Ted, with a chill in his eyes.

Then he said coldly. "There's a secret passage under the desk in the southwestern corner of the first floor. You can go out that way. Believe me once, and perhaps I can help you!"

Joshua gave him a cold look. He really couldn't trust Ted.

"Perhaps I will try to believe you when you 'atone' later!" Joshua said and went straight out of the study.

Ted looked helplessly at the handcuffs on his hands, and doubt arose in his heart. Atone? Why did Joshua use that word?

Joshua took his bodyguards to the living room downstairs, where shots kept ringing out, and the battle was very intense.

Walking through the entrance door would make him an easy target, so Joshua took his bodyguard to the room Ted had just mentioned and quickly found the secret passage under the desk.

Looking at the secret passage, Joshua's eyes dimmed slightly before he finally walked in.

They made their way through the secret passage to leave the villa. There were not gunshots outside.

"What happened?" Joshua took the walkie-talkie from his bodyguard's hand and asked in a deep tone.

There was a volley of gunfire from the other end, and a voice said angrily, "Master Denmark, Simon King's men turn against us!"

Joshua's eyes went dark. He asked calmly, "Tell me exactly what happened!"

The man on the other end hurried to tell him the story roughly. After secretly picking them up on the shore, the spies Simon had arranged on the island took them to kill the invisible sentries on the island.

But just as they had fully controlled the island, several spies suddenly defected, and a heavily armed army showed up on the island. Joshua's men had been defenseless, so they were caught off guard, and they were at a disadvantage now.

Joshua's mind raced. Judging from the current intelligence, it was indeed Simon's men who had abnormal behavior. It even looked as if Simon intended to kick down the ladder and take this opportunity to kill Ted and him directly.

Joshua, however, did not think this was true. It was not something that Simon would do. He was a bit unscrupulous, but he wouldn't do things like that.

But now, whether Simon had defected or not, Joshua had to erase the accident first.

"Report your location," Joshua demanded in a deep voice.

The different positions were reported, and soon Joshua had a rough picture in his mind and then figured out the enemy's position.

Then, according to his men's positions, he organized them to launch an effective counterattack.

Joshua was fully prepared this time. Many of the people he brought with him were from Katherine, and some of them were very excellent veterans.

Katherine hated the organization as much as he did, so she wasn't willing to give up such a good chance. Although she didn't act in person, she was perfectly happy to help him find some right hands.
