Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"What happened?" The monitor, whose name was David, looked dazed.

"David," Karla said sarcastically. "Hardly had Hazel said her husband came when you came in. Are you a couple now?"

Hearing her words, David was taken aback instantly. "Karla Lee, don't talk nonsense. How could I be Hazel's husband?"

"Hazel Crowe, what do you want to say now?" Karla looked back at Hazel with a confident face.

But she did not notice all the other people were staring at the door in astonishment.

After David entered the room, Joshua also came in. Many people had just seen Joshua's picture on the news and recognized him at a glance. Even if they didn't see his picture, they could also guess Joshua's identity just by feeling his cool, noble temperament.

Hazel looked toward the door as her eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Hazel, why don't you speak?" Karla continued.

Ariel said crossly, "Are you blind?"

"You...!" Karla flew into a rage. She was about to speak when she felt a chill of horror on her back. This chill made her feel as if she had been thrown into hell, which was dark and dangerous!

She shivered suddenly and could not say a single word. Then a tall figure walked past her. Karla looked up, and suddenly her face looked white as a sheet as if she had seen a ghost!

Joshua strode into the room and calmly walked over to Hazel. There was originally an empty seat next to Hazel's, but Derek shamelessly sat down.

Hazel didn't have time to kick him out because Karla had been pestering her.

Joshua furrowed his eyebrows and said in a cold voice, "Please make way."

Although he said 'please,' there was an undoubtedly imperative tone in his words.

Derek's face changed dramatically. He was not less surprised than Karla when he saw Joshua.

Joshua brought him such a strong sense of oppression that even fear rose in his heart despite himself! Then, suddenly, Derek thought of the overconfident words he had said to Hazel, and now he was dying to disappear directly!

Derek stood up in a panic, but he staggered and almost fell.

Joshua calmly sat down next to Hazel, his long arms draped casually around the back of Hazel's chair, but it seemed to everyone that he was holding her.

Derek sat hurriedly on a seat next to them. However, with Joshua at his side, he suddenly looked ugly. Thinking Derek wanted to become Hazel's lover, everyone looked at Derek with disgust.

It seemed Derek had noticed the other classmates' look in their eyes, so he looked even more flustered. He quickly changed places with a classmate and sat away from Joshua.

"What happened?" Joshua's mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners with a charming smile.

The people around him could not help becoming a little obsessed with him. They had heard of Joshua. After all, it was said he and Hazel had an affair, and he appeared in Quantum University several times for Hazel, but every time they saw Joshua, he looked aloof and indifferent. Even a glance at him would make them have a sense of inferiority somehow at all.

However, this kind of man who looked like god actually laughed! Besides, it seemed all his tenderness and doting were given to Hazel!

Everyone's heart was full of envy, while Karla's heart and eyes were filled with jealousy!

How is that possible?! She couldn't believe her own eyes!

With so many people saying Joshua was dead, she also secretly spread rumors on the Internet that Hazel murdered him because she was pregnant with a bastard whose father was unknown. Her rumors weren't very influential at all, so Hazel didn't notice it.

Because she said the rumors too many times, even Karla herself believed them. But now Joshua, whom she had thought to be dead, appeared alive right in front of her!

In her panic, Karla forgot that she was supposed to be worrying about something else, but Hazel didn't.

"I made a bet with her just now," Hazel said with a smile, pointing directly at Karla. "she said she'd slap her own face fifty times if you showed up."

Karla's face kept changing, and finally, she managed to force a smile. "Hazel... I was just kidding. You're such a kind person, and Master Denmark loves your kindness. You wouldn't be petty, would you?"

Hazel sneered. Karla fawned on her now? It was a pity it was too late.

Hazel was not a person who was unwilling to give others a break, but she wasn't unreasonably compassionate. Karla provoked and slandered her again and again, so she would never give Karla a break.

"Do you like me because I'm kind?" Hazel looked at Joshua.

"Yes," Joshua said as he gently caressed her hair, "You're too kind and don't want to be petty and argue with others."

Karla felt delighted in the heart and couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief. It seemed that Joshua planned to let her go now? Or did Joshua have a different feeling for her, so he helped her instead of Hazel?

Joshua did not know that Karla had imagined so much in an instant, but even if he knew that he would not care.

Karla looked at Joshua with watery eyes and said coquettishly, "Master Denmark..."

Before she could finish the sentence, Joshua said, "Fortunately, I can become very petty for you."

Karla froze. She saw Joshua' cold eyes stare at her and heard his deep voice, "Fifty slaps, begin."

"This, this is just a joke. Everybody can help me to testify..." Karla panicked instantly. If she really slapped herself fifty times, how ashamed she would be!

She looked at the other classmates for help, but they were very sick of her behavior. They all said, "Right, we can all testify that they weren't joking. They made a bet indeed."

"You, you…" Karla's face was livid. She had never expected that none spoke for her!

"David..." Karla looked piteously at David. "I'm your guest…."

David gave her a disgusted look. "Karla Lee, when did you become my guest? It's you who recommend yourself and want to help me book the private room for the reunion. I was so tired of being pestered by you that I had to allow you to help me. I paid for your help, but you insisted you stay. Have you forgotten all this?"
