Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Hazel didn't have a shortage of money with her black bank card, and if she wanted, the whole Denmark Group would be hers.

She was purely curious. Vanessa Young had offered her money to leave Joshua by money, but she seemed to be scared by her words "at least eight figures."

However, Susan was different. Joshua told Hazel simply that her aunt Sunny had married very well and was also a famous, wealthy businessman in Country D. Susan should be a bigger spender than Vanessa.

Susan looked even more contemptuous. She directly stretched out her palm.

Looking at her five raised fingers, Hazel casually guessed, "Five billion?"

Susan shook her fingers in fright. Her parents didn't even give her five hundred million dollars to start her own business, but Hazel said a number she couldn't afford. The most she could give Hazel was just fifty million!

When Hazel saw her face, she knew what she meant. She could not help asking, "I said it casually. After all, this number fits your identity. You know you're paying Joshua's girlfriend to make her leave him. You should offer me a number that will impress me, shouldn't you?"

Susan, feeling pissed off, shouted at Hazel with shame. "Hazel, are you kidding me?"

"No, no, I'm just being honest," Hazel said, a little uncomfortable. Why did this sound so familiar? It seemed that Vanessa also had said the same thing when she pissed her off. Hazel realized that she seemed to have a great talent for irritating people, it made her feel a little more uncomfortable, but she kept smiling.

Susan was about to lose her temper when the private room door suddenly opened, and Joshua walked in.

In an instant, the anger on Susan's face all turned to shock.

"Cousin," she said softly, her voice was so numb that it gave Hazel goosebumps. But Joshua acted as if he didn't hear it and went straight to Hazel.

Susan's face darkened instantly.

"Why are you here?" Hazel asked, a little surprised.

"Jaxson said he saw you at the door of the company, but I didn't see you come in. I was worried about you, so I went out to look for you," Joshua whispered. Since Hazel was in danger last time, he had been paying much attention to her safety.

Hazel felt her heart warm, but she was still a little angry. "I am fine. Why are you worried?"

Joshua's eyebrows were slightly raised. He looked at Susan and asked in a low voice, "What did you talk about?"

For fear that Hazel might talk nonsense, Susan said ahead of him with a grievance, "Cousin, I just want Miss Crowe to know more about you and tell her about your real birth. Miss Crowe seemed to have misunderstood me. She thought I took fancy to you and asked me for money, saying she would leave you… But I think she's joking. Don't you mind, cousin?"

"Is that so?" Joshua looked at Hazel and couldn't help but frown.

Hazel was taken back. At first, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Susan said. She was really overwhelmed by Susan's ability to distort facts.

"Maybe…" she said.

"Please don't show up to see me later," Joshua said, looking coldly at Susan. "I don't want Hazel to misunderstand."

Instantly, Susan was dumbstruck. Did Joshua get the point right?!

"I think you're wrong," Hazel said. "Your concern should be that I'm with you for your money, not that I misunderstand you."

Though Hazel asked what she wanted, Susan still clenched her teeth. Hazel must be showing off in front of her!

"How much did she afford?" he asked.

Hazel reached out a palm.

"Could five billion dollars buy you off?" Joshua frowned more tightly. "Hazel, you know, I can give you more than that."

Susan tumbled. She thought Hazel was exaggerating enough. How could Joshua be more exaggerated than she was? What made her even more puzzled was why Joshua was not angry at all?! Hazel clearly was with him for his money, but why didn't he care at all?

"... That's a scary number," Hazel was a little embarrassed. "Can she afford it? Why did you say a random number?"

"You..." Susan's eyes turned red. Either way, she thought it was Hazel trying to humiliate her! The next moment, Susan stormed out of the door in anger!

"She's gone. Why didn't you chase her?" Hazel said, faintly smiling.

Joshua was in a daze, and then his lips were raised slightly. "Hazel, are you jealous?"

"You have too many wooers!" Hazel growled.

She just tried to talk to Susan, to begin with. After all, Susan was her cousin, but she turned out to be a rival in love. How could she be angry?

"She's not a wooer," Joshua said peacefully. "She's just using me, to be exact."

"Do you mean she's around you for your money?" Hazel was astonished. "Isn't her family wealthy?"

"But they are not as rich as Denmark Group," Joshua said quietly.

"Aren't you afraid that I am also with you for your money?" Hazel blinked.

"It doesn't matter. It's all yours." He smiled a little, and his eyes softened a little. "I only hope you won't forget who makes money."

"Poo—" Hazel couldn't help laughing. "Why do you look like my employee?"

"Hazel, you're only half right." Joshua chuckled.

"What?" She was lost.

"Try replacing the 'employee' with 'husband.'" There was a sparkle of tease in his eyes.

Hazel said subconsciously, "Husband..."

Only then did Hazel realize what she had said, and her face was faintly blushed.

"Mmm." Joshua laughed very happily.

"Fuck you!" She pushed him away, shy and aggravated, before she turned toward the door.

Joshua was about to catch up when his phone rang. It was Jaxson. He frowned slightly and answered the phone.

"President, the media has received revelations about Miss Crowe, and photos of the confrontation between Miss Crowe and Susan have started to appear online," Jaxson said truthfully, "But these just appeared on the Internet, and I've had them removed."

"Well, tell the press I don't want to see any news about Hazel," Joshua said quietly.

"I'll handle it right away." After that, Jaxson hung up.

As Hazel walked out of the café, she saw Susan standing nearby on the phone. Hazel walked over to eavesdrop on her conversation.
