Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Please go home, both of you," Chester said apologetically. "Master Simon hasn't been in a good mood lately…."

"Besides, if he sees us, he'll be more unhappy, won't he?" Hazel looked at Joshua and couldn't help speaking.

Helplessly, Joshua pinched her hand. How could Hazel undermine Simon like that?

"What?" Chester looked at her blankly.

"Nothing, nothing." She hurried to smile and played dumb.

Joshua gave Chester a quiet look. "Did he ask you to come out and drive us away?"

"... Yes," Chester replied with resignation. In fact, Chester wasn't straightforward. However, Joshua was a smart guy. So how could Joshua possibly be unable to guess what Simon meant?

"You've completed your task," Joshua nodded calmly. "You come to drive us away, but we don't want to leave. Get out of the way."

Chester was embarrassed. How could Joshua say he had completed his task?

Chester wanted to say something. Suddenly, a man in black stepped out from behind Joshua, took out a gun, and pointed it at Chester's head.

"..." Chester was petrified instantly. What was the matter?! Did Joshua have to be so frisky? He actually didn't react as most people would!

With his forehead being pointed at by a gun, Chester had to ask, with a troubled face, "Master Denmark, what do you mean…."

"Nothing," Joshua said quietly, as if he were talking about the weather. "You've done the security work here perfectly, but my man threatened you with a gun, so you had no choice but to let Hazel and me in."

"..." Chester was speechless! He had not had much contact with Joshua before, but he had no idea that Joshua would be such a… rascal!

How could Joshua force him in this way? Besides, even if Joshua wanted to force him, Joshua should at least get more serious and pretend that he would start a war with Simon. Putting a gun against his head like this was really perfunctory!

"Open the door. Hazel can't stand for long." Joshua frowned unhappily.

Chester's face changed slightly. Simon also cared about Hazel very much. If anything happened to Hazel, Chester would definitely be punished.

Joshua was willing to act like this, then Chester should give Joshua a face.

Chester waved his hand, and the guard next to him opened the gate. Holding the umbrella, Joshua walked in with Hazel.

Simon could see this scene clearly in the study. In an instant, his face darkened! Chester was a real 'traitor'!

Joshua and Hazel walked into the living room just in time to see Simon coming downstairs.

"Master Simon..." Chester came to him helplessly with a troubled expression.

"Get lost!" Simon snapped. "Don't let me see you!"

Chester heaved a sigh of relief and walked away quickly. Simon was willing to scold him, which meant Simon was not really angry with him.

Instead of treating himself as an outsider, Joshua called in Simon's servants and asked them to pour Hazel a glass of juice and pour him a glass of red wine.

Simon really felt that he was about to be mad with anger. He was impatient while he waved his hand to beckon the other people to leave.

"Do you two still have the face to come here?" Simon's face darkened as he sat down opposite them.

Hazel reached out to pinch her and Joshua's faces and then answered very seriously. "I've touched our faces. They are very good."

"..." Simon rolled his eyes at her in anger. He didn't argue with Hazel over this kind of meaningless trifle. The next moment, he looked at Joshua coldly. "Ian Flores didn't come to me. If you're here for him, you're doomed to make a trip in vain."

"Who said I came for him?" Joshua picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Ian Flores had not contacted Simon; of course, Joshua knew that because he had asked his men to keep watching Simon's villa, and his men had never seen anyone suspicious come to look for Simon.

That made Joshua very surprised.

After all, he and Stacy were both alive and well. Of course, Hazel and Joshua wouldn't give Ian a break, but Simon was Ian's nephew, and Ian certainly wouldn't have too much hatred of Simon, so Ian should at least have contacted Simon to ease his relationship with his nephew.

But Ian didn't do that, so Joshua couldn't figure it out. However, that was not why he was here today.

"Then what else can we talk about?" Simon folded his arms and crossed his legs like a rascal. "Joshua, you have been very busy these days. Isn't it because you are trying to catch Ian Flores? Let's just make it clear. You've actually chosen to side with Ted, haven't you?"

Joshua's face was still calm, but Hazel was somehow nervous because she could sense Simon's hostility. Simon did not fall out with them directly, only for the sake of their relationship in the past.

"I personally would not choose to side with Ted," Joshua spoke lightly.

Simon's lips twitched. Was Joshua juggling with words? Simon was no fool, how could he fall for such a trick?

"But we don't come here today to talk to you about it," Joshua said quietly.

"Then what are you here for?" Simon was really at a loss.

Joshua took out an invitation with a peaceful face and handed it to Simon.

Simon opened it doubtfully, but the next moment, he slammed the invitation on the table in exasperation. "Joshua Denmark, don't push me too far!"

Dropping her forehead into her hands, Hazel felt helpless. She had known it would end up with this. In fact, she also felt that Joshua's behavior was bad.

Simon had been angry with them, to begin with, but Joshua actually came to send him an invitation to Grandpa Sloane's birthday party. This… went a little too far.

"Ian Flores will definitely attend my grandfather's birthday party," Joshua said coldly as if he didn't see Simon's anger at all. "I'll set a trap to catch him, using myself as bait."

"So what?" Simon froze, then sneered, "Why are you telling me this?"

"I'm worried that he won't take the bait and that he might try to kidnap Hazel, so I give you this invitation so that you can keep her safe," Joshua continued.

"Can't you be so self-righteous!" Simon was really pissed off. "Joshua Denmark, I didn't say yes! Aren't you afraid I'll be undercover and deliberately let him go when the time comes?!"

Joshua looked at him in surprise, as if Simon were a fool. "If you don't go to the party, how can you be undercover?"
