Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

There was uncontrollable anger in her heart!

She had never been so angry. She had thought Ted was unscrupulous before, but now she thought he was a lunatic!

Ted used Stacy as bait to lure her out just to take DNA paternity testing with her baby!

"Don't you know that if a pregnant woman has a DNA test at this time, she will be at risk of miscarrying?" Hazel looked at Ted angrily. She had never hated a person like that before!

She didn't agree to take a paternity test because she was afraid of this kind of accident, apart from the fact that Ted wouldn't trust her anyway. This was the baby of her and Joshua, and she didn't want the baby to be tortured like this before it was even born!

"The doctors here are very professional," Ted spoke coldly.

Hazel's heart was cold. Ted's words meant he didn't care about the baby in her belly at all. He didn't care even if the child was his grandson!

Taking a deep breath, Hazel forced herself to calm down.

Her current situation was worse than ever, but she couldn't just wait passively!

"I advise you not to touch me!" she said coldly. "Unless you want Joshua to cut ties with you completely!"

There was a crook on his cold face, but the next moment, there was a little disdain in his eyes. "Hazel Crowe, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think Joshua is going to break completely with me because of a woman?"

"Didn't you also break completely with your own father because of a woman?" she said sarcastically.

Hazel had heard a lot about Ted and Stacy from Simon. When Ted took over the organization, he treated his father ruthlessly because of what had happened to Stacy, leaving his father to suffer and die of depression.

"Can you be compared with Stacy?" There was a flash of anger in Ted's cold eyes.

"I am no match for mom in your eyes," she said, looking at him coldly, "but I am sure Joshua isn't worse than you in this respect. Mr. King, do you really think that Joshua came to Country M because he still cared about the father-son relationship with you? Or do you really think there is such a thing as affection between you?"

There was more anger in his eyes. "Hazel Crowe, are you deliberately provoking me?"

"What's the use of my deliberately provoking you at a time like this?" she said in a serious voice. "Let me tell you something. Joshua agreed to your condition and come to Country M only because it is my requirement. And it wasn't because I wanted to please you that I was willing to come. You perhaps don't know, at first my parents didn't like Joshua and were very opposed to our romantic relationship."

"How could they do that?!" Ted looked a little unhappy, but Hazel was quietly relieved. No matter if he believed it or not, at least he was interested in listening to her words.

"Mr. King, maybe you think I'm bad, but in the eyes of my parents, I am the best in their hearts! And, as parents, their concern will always be whether I can live well with Joshua and be happy!"

Taking a deep breath, she continued, "Although my parents didn't like Joshua, he didn't use his power to force them. Instead, he is just like an ordinary guy, accepting my parents' conditions, tolerating my parents' making things difficult for him, and striving for their recognition. That's why I advised him to come to Country M. I did all that for him!"

If Joshua could do so much for her just to get her parents to accept him, why couldn't Hazel want to do the same for him?

But now, Hazel had been aware of something. The biggest difference between Ted and her parents was that her parents were reasonable while Ted wasn't.

"... He doesn't remember the past." Ted was silent for a while and finally said.

"Yes, he doesn't remember, but he doesn't forget how he felt." She continued, "There is one more thing. Mr. King, do you really think that Joshua accompanied me to Country M because he hoped you would finally accept me?"

Ted's heart sank. Joshua had asked him the same question, but Ted didn't care about his answer then. He even felt that Joshua deliberately said that to piss him off.

"He didn't have high hopes for you," Hazel said indifferently. "He just wanted to disappoint me completely. If I change my words, he will take me back to Country Z at once and disown you once and for all. Not just him, but Simon."

For the first time, Ted hesitated.

Joshua and Hazel had said the same thing. This forced Ted to re-examine Hazel's position in Joshua's heart.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the butler came in.

Hazel was helpless. She came here in such a hurry that she didn't take many bodyguards with her. Ted was clearly well-prepared, and her bodyguards were certainly no match for his subordinates.

The butler looked at the scene in the ward, surprised. He gave Ted a look and guessed why Ted was hesitant.

"Don't worry, master," the butler whispered to Ted. "Master Joshua may lose his mind for a while, but as an elder, you can't watch him make mistakes. Miss Crowe is deliberately buying time. If she buys time like this, Master Joshua will be here soon."

Ted's hesitant heart suddenly became hardened.

A chill of despair came over Hazel! She said so much to buy time for Joshua to save her. However, it was likely that Joshua wouldn't be able to make it in time!

"If you don't want Master Joshua to blame it on you in the future, leave it to me, master," continued the butler.

Ted nodded and walked toward the door.

Suddenly, Hazel grabbed the pistol pressed against her forehead and rushed quickly to the door!

But soon, she felt pain in her leg. The next moment, her legs went weak, and she went straight down on her knees. In order to protect the baby, she unconsciously pressed her hands against the ground.

Then two men seized her by the arms and lifted her from the ground.

Ted walked out of the ward as if he hadn't seen anything at all.

"Let me go!" Hazel fumed.

The butler waved his hand, and a doctor came up to her with a long needle.

"Stop struggling, Miss Crowe," the butler said with a malicious smile. "To do a DNA test for a fetus, we need to use this puncture needle to stab your stomach and draw out the amniotic fluid. What if you move, and thus the doctor's hands tremble and stab the baby?"
