Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Ted's face looked gloomier. Joshua's attitude made it clear that no matter what he said, Joshua wouldn't forgive him for what he had done but would only regard his words as an excuse he made up.

In the face of Joshua's current attitude, even if Ted wanted to say endless words, he could not open his mouth.

Looking at the silent Ted, Joshua said sarcastically, with slightly deep eyes, "Mr. King, are you talking aimlessly to buy time deliberately?"

Ted's heart leaped, and an imperceptible chock appeared in his face, which usually looked grim. The next moment, he said angrily, "What are you talking about…."

Before he could finish the sentence, an urgent alarm suddenly sounded!

"Something's wrong!" Joshua's face turned slightly pale. The next moment, he rushed quickly toward the holiday village hotel, followed by Ted!

Back at the holiday village hotel, they found Hazel frantically guarding the restroom in the private room with many people.

"Hazel, are you okay?" Joshua hurried to come to her and asked with concern.

"I'm fine," Hazel shook her head, but her face was very grave. "Mom's gone!"

"What's the matter?" There was a flash of shock in his eyes. Although he had guessed that Stacy would have an accident, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly!

He had already gathered enough subordinates in the holiday village. It wasn't that easy to take a living person away! However, Stacy was taken away easily now!

"What's the matter with you? I left Stacy to you, but how could you make her disappear?" Ted's furious shout rang out as he glared at Hazel. "I've long known you are the bane of our family!"

"Mr. King, the matter hasn't been found out clearly, please speak cautiously!" Joshua said in a deep tone.

"You're actually still protecting this woman when there's an accident!" Ted glared at him, looking extremely disappointed. "Alright then. You don't go to look for your mother, I'll go!"

With that, he angrily asked the servant beside him, "Did you see which direction madam was taken?"

"Ye, yes..." said the servant, who was a little scared.

"Lead the way!" Ted said quietly.

"Wait! You can't go!" Hazel stopped the servant who wanted to lead the way with displeasure.

"Joshua!" Ted yelled as if he had gone mad. "Do you want to allow her to make trouble randomly? Can't you see what she's up to?"

Hazel still tried to explain, but Joshua gently grabbed her hand and slightly shook his head. "Let them go."

Helplessly, she had to watch them leave hastily.

"What's the matter?" he asked, with a grave expression.

"Joshua, I don't think this incident is that simple," she said, frowning.

She took Joshua to the restroom. "Mom and I were going to look for you just now, but mom suddenly ran to the restroom by herself. I planned to follow her, but the servant who left with Ted suddenly stood in front of me, saying the restroom floor was too smooth, so she couldn't let me in.

"Then I asked the other servants to follow Stacy, but she suddenly lost her footing and fell in front of me. All the people were afraid that she would accidentally make me fall, so they guarded me."

Hazel continued as she pointed out the window, "But during this short period of time, suddenly a strange noise suddenly came out of the restroom, I ran in, and saw the window was wide open, and a man was running in that direction with mom on his back."

"Are you sure the man took mom away?" Joshua asked in a serious voice.

She was a little hesitant. According to the physique and clothes of the person on the back, it was Stacy indeed, but Hazel always felt there was something wrong for some reason.

But before she could open her mouth, the bodyguards around all said, "It looks really like madam."

Hazel paused for a while before nodding.

"Is there something wrong?" asked Joshua, frowning. He could see that Hazel wanted to say something.

"... No," she thought and said, "It's just that the man who took mom away must be very strong because he walked very fast with mom on his back."

He frowned tightly and asked in a low voice, "Does he have any characteristics?"

She told him everything about the man's clothes and physique.

"I see," he said in a deep tone. "You stay here. I'll see if I can find my mom."

"Joshua, I'm sorry..." She looked at him apologetically.

Although Joshua had given her many bodyguards, there was still an accident. She really blamed herself.

"It's not your fault, Hazel," he said in a soothing voice. "The other party chose to take Stacy away in the restroom simply because there aren't monitors in it. They clearly came prepared. Besides, the servant around Ted didn't behave normally... let's talk later. I'll keep up with her to check first. You must remember not to leave the hotel!"

He left enough bodyguards at the holiday village to keep Hazel safe.

Hazel nodded. She was now eight months pregnant. It wasn't good for her to run with Joshua.

Joshua quickly left with some bodyguards in the direction that Ted left.

Hazel waited at the holiday village, but the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

After that, she led the bodyguards straight to the monitor room.

She didn't need to leave the holiday village to check the monitors, so the bodyguards didn't stop her.

When she got to the monitor room, all she could find was a scene where the man ran away with Stacy on his back. But Hazel felt it looked more and more strange.

"Find me two people whose physiques look like theirs!" she quickly gave the bodyguards an order.

Soon, at her request, the bodyguards brought in a bodyguard whose physique looked the same as that of the kidnapper and a servant whose physique resembled Stacy's.

"Lady, don't resist, let him carry you. Handsome, try to run like the kidnapper," Hazel said to them.

The bodyguard and the servant didn't know what she intended to do, but they did as she told them.

Hazel frowned tightly. When the bodyguard ran with the servant on his back, his speed was much slower than the speed shown in the monitoring video!

"Can you run a little faster?" she asked.

"Mrs. Denmark," the bodyguard said helplessly, "This is my fastest speed."

"Then ask another bodyguard to try?" she suggested as she frowned.

"The others also aren't able to run at such a fast speed," the bodyguard said. "I'm the strongest among the men with the same physique."

She cocked an eyebrow. "Then why can the kidnapper run so fast?"

"We don't know," the bodyguard said, looking troubled. "We also wonder why he seems to be carrying a dummy."

Dummy?!

Hazel was shocked and instantly understood.

"Search every corner of the holiday village!" she snapped. "Listen up, it's around the corner! You must find my mom!"
