Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Why are you here?" Professor Lee greeted him with delight. "Why do we need to stand here? Let's go in, sit down, and have a little chat,"

Ivan looked at Joshua in surprise. Joshua looked one or two years older than himself and a little more mature. But why would his mentor be so humble in front of Mr. Denmark? Who the hell is this guy?

"No, I am in a hurry." Joshua said, "Also, professor, your students seem to have misunderstood me."

Karla and the rest of the crowd came out of the villa. She couldn't help but wonder when she saw Joshua and Professor Lee talking with each other like old friends.

Karla tolerated the pain on her foot, walked over to Professor Lee, and said, "Uncle, do you know each other? Is he a student?"

Before Professor Lee could answer her, Karla sneered, "Was he caught for stealing things before? Or else why would he come here to steal our things?"

"Shut up!" Professor Lee hurriedly interrupted her, "Karla, what are you talking about?"

Karla was stunned, her uncle never treated her like that before. She suddenly felt more persecuted, "I don't talk nonsense! Uncle, I know you are a nice person. But since he suddenly appeared here, who knows if we have lost anything..."

Professor Lee slapped Karla's face and said, "Do you know who he is?"

Karla covered her cheeks and looked at him skeptically. Professor Lee was looking extremely outraged.

Everyone in the crowd was stunned. They had never seen such an angry outburst from Professor Lee.

They had also suspected Joshua and Hazel were stealing from them. But now, Professor Lee even beat his most beloved niece for insulting this man.

They looked at Joshua. Everyone was thinking, "Who is this guy"?

At the moment, Professor Lee hurriedly apologized to Joshua, "Mr. Denmark, please forgive my niece. She has no sense, and her intelligence is obviously…"

"Uncle, how can you do this to me!" Karla interrupted, her eyes were red, "You actually beat me for a student and say that I am senseless?"

"You...!" Professor Lee was speechless. He angrily yelled at Ivan, "Get this irresponsible thing out of my face!"

Karla was even angrier. Ivan hurriedly shut her mouth with one hand and dragged her back into the villa with another.

"Mr. Denmark..." Professor Lee looked at Joshua in a flurry.

"Professor Lee, I think you are still busy with your private affairs." Joshua said, "Let's talk some other time."

"OK..." Professor Lee was a bit helpless.

Joshua came to his Maybach and calmly opened the car door for Hazel.

The expressions of the crowd suddenly changed.

The car he drove was actually a Maybach? They had seen this Maybach and thought some rich man parked it there. It turned out to be this man's car?

They were all embarrassed at the fact they thought this man was stealing from them. Joshua was clearly wealthy and did not need to steal their possessions.

Karla's expression had also changed. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have offended someone who should not be offended.

After Hazel got in the car, Joshua drove it away.

Looking at the back of the car, Ivan finally couldn't help but ask, "Mentor, who is this guy? Is he also one of your students?"

"If only I could have such a student!" Professor Lee's words were full of anger, and he looked at Karla with annoyance, "He is Joshua Denmark."

"Who?" Everyone was stunned.

Joshua Denmark? No way!

"Is he with the Denmark Group?" Someone asked with a little panic.

"Is there any other Joshua Denmark?" Professor Lee snorted and walked back into the villa.

Every face was pale, filled with fear and regret of what they had said and done earlier.

Many of them were hoping to work at the Denmark Group after graduation. But now, they had just offended the President!

Suddenly, everyone looked at Karla with annoyance. She conned them into believing that Joshua was a thief!

Ivan was completely confused. How did Hazel get to know Joshua?

At first sight of Joshua, Ivan had an overwhelming feeling of disaster.

Joshua was calm and handsome and seemed to be better than him in every aspect, even when it came to the point of trusting Hazel.

Ivan was not thinking clearly. For a moment, he had thought he would be better than Joshua in terms of academics and family background, but then harsh reality hit him.

He was totally lost.

If the other party was Joshua Denmark, how could he fight with him?

"Why, why are you looking at me?" Karla was scared by everyone. She still said, "How would I know Hazel was with that man? Maybe he was blinded by Hazel..."

Before Karla finished her speech, Ivan's cell phone rang.

Ivan checked the phone and saw an anonymous mail with a recording file in the attachment.

Ivan opened the recording file, which was a conversation between two people.

"Did you want to push me down? Did you throw the camera deliberately?"

"No! I just wanted to pick up the camera!"

Karla's face suddenly became desperately pale. How could her conversation with Hazel be recorded?

"No! You listen to me!" she cried almost hysterically. "That is fake, fake!"

Everyone looked at her coldly, their eyes full of disgust. This girl took advantage of their trust and played them. They ignored Karla and went back to the villa one by one.

"Dear Ivan, you have to trust me..." Karla dragged Ivan's sleeve and pleaded.

Ivan pushed her away with disgrace. It's too late to apologize.

***

Hazel was sitting in the car, bored. When she saw Joshua hitting on the phone with his finger, she couldn't help but say, "Don't play with your phone when you are driving."

"Alright." Joshua put the phone down and said, "Still thinking about what happened just now?"

Hazel said with a sullen voice, "I'm afraid they still think I'm a thief. I thought you might have a way to prove them wrong."

Joshua twitched his lips.

He did help prove the innocence of Hazel. The anonymous mail sent to Ivan was from him.
