Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Ian wasn't with his sister, but she was indeed pregnant and gave birth to a baby.

He could guarantee that the child had by no means been replaced, so over the years, although he knew that Ted nearly destroyed the Flores family and killed his sister, Ian chose to endure the humiliation and help Simon to the best of his ability. He did everything for Simon!

But in the end, reality told him that his sister was just a surrogate mother to Ted's baby, who had nothing to do with the Flores family! Everything he had done was just a joke, and he had totally been tricked by Ted!

Ian's heart was filled with hatred. All his hatred was directed at Simon. Just as he cared about Simon very much before, he hated Simon very much now! That was why, after Ian caught Simon, Ian tortured Simon in every way!

"It's not up to me what kind of face I can own," Simon said with a chuckle as if the torture had caused him no pain.

"Shut up!" Ian slapped him in the face.

Simon continued smiling with a casual air. "Even if I shut up, you would unnecessarily calm down. Also, uncle, it's enough. You've been holding me for so long, aren't you afraid someone will find me here?

"Simon, who are you expecting to save you?" Ian snorted and looked at him sarcastically. "Ted King? I know he's still alive, but I'm afraid he's hiding abroad like a rat now. Even if he tries to save you, do you think he can reach here in time? Or do you expect Joshua to save you? You covet his woman, and he is dying to see you die! So how could he possibly come to save you?!"

Simon's eyes became deep as he listened to these words. He breathed out a slow breath, but there was a touch of sadness in his eyes. "Uncle, you didn't look down on any of your enemies as you do today. Neither Ted nor Joshua is as stupid as you think. If you keep going on like this, they'll come here sooner or later…."

"Simon, are you really dreaming of them coming here to save you?" Ian gave out a sneer and then said, with a ferocious look, "You're just a substitute! They don't care about you at all! You are nothing!"

Looking at Ian, who was almost maniacal, Simon's eyes flashed with pity. Simon wasn't expecting others to save him; he was just reminding Ian. Perhaps, in his heart of hearts, he didn't want anything bad to happen to Ian. But now Ian just wanted to die with him.

"Simon King! I want you dead!" Ian picked up the whip frantically and kept hitting Simon on the body.

Simon gritted his teeth, unwilling to let out a cry of pain. His smile was bitter. How could he care about Ian now? Simon wasn't sure if anyone would come to save him. Whether or not something would happen to Ian, Simon didn't seem to be able to survive long. His only concern should be himself.

The pain from his body made Simon close his eyes wearily. Suddenly, the closed door was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in!

Simon managed to open his eyes. The blurred scene in front of him gradually became clear. Joshua and Hazel walked in hastily.

They did come to save him quickly... There was something indescribable in Simon's heart. He didn't think… they would come.

"Don't come, stand still!" Then, seeing him himself become an easy target to Joshua, Ian picked up a dagger and put it against Simon's neck, panic-stricken.

When Joshua saw Simon's bloody body, his pupils shrank suddenly. He held Hazel in his arms the next moment, not wanting her to see the gory Simon.

Hazel held his hand tightly and obediently leaned into his arms. She believed that, with Simon's pride, Simon would not allow others to see his miserable look.

"You're actually so late?" Ignoring the dagger round his neck, Simon looked at them with a rare smile. This time his smile was genuine. He whispered, "Aren't you thoughtless this time?"

"Yes..." Joshua whispered. Simon's appearance made Joshua unwilling to argue with him. Although it was because Ted kept such important information from him, it was also because Joshua misjudged the situation that Ian succeeded.

"You owe me one, so promise me one thing," Simon whispered.

"What is it?" Joshua asked in a deep voice.

"Shut up!" Ian increased his grip on the dagger as he said, flustered, "Joshua Denmark! I'm the one who wants to negotiate with you!"

"Shh," Simon said with the kind of levity he was used to showing in the presence of Ian. He chuckled. "How can I help you if I shut up?"

"What do you mean?" Ian looked at him blankly, wondering if he had heard him wrong.

"Let him go," Simon looked at Joshua, "and you mustn't chase him."

The room was silent. Even Hazel in Joshua' arms wondered if she had heard him wrong, not to mention Ian.

"Are you sure?" Joshua looked at Simon with deep eyes. He did not ask why, but at this very moment, he guessed something.

"Yes." Simon opened his mouth quietly.

"... okay," Joshua agreed.

Ian was dazed and incredulous. He tricked Simon into coming to kill Simon, but Simon chose to save him in the end.

"You..." He looked at Simon with astonishment.

"You go," Simon said, giving him a complicated look. "I won't owe you anything, and I won't go easy on you anymore."

Ian looked at Simon, his expression momentarily relaxed. When he caught Simon, Ian did not intend to live and was even ready to die. But, having said that, now that he had a trace of hope to live, of course, he was not willing to give up!

In the blink of an eye, Ian dropped the dagger and sprinted to the door.

Joshua also kept his promise and did not order his subordinates to chase Ian. He asked two guards to let Simon down first. At this time, Simon finally couldn't stand it and fainted directly.

He was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. Luckily, his injuries looked like they were terrifying, but since Ian Flores just tried to torture him, Simon didn't have a life-threatening wound. It was just that there were so many injuries on his body that it was difficult to deal with them.

After coming out of the emergency room, Simon was transferred to a regular ward. Unfortunately, he was still asleep when Joshua and Hazel came to see him.

"You've seen him, and you're relieved. Can you go home now?" "Joshua whispered helplessly.
