Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Susan couldn't help but shudder. She was frightened by Joshua's gaze upon her.

"Susan, I remember I warned you before not to harm Hazel!" Joshua sighed, "You have rechallenged my patience time and time. Do you really think your mother can protect you?"

Susan suddenly felt both wronged and angry hearing his questioning words.

Susan couldn't help but shout, "Joshua, I can tolerate another woman around you. Even if there are more women, it doesn't matter. After all, I am generous! But you should've been tired of Hazel by now, right? Since I am the one you really love, why can't you indulge me a little?"

Joshua was shocked, and he couldn't react to Susan for a few moments.

Initially, he was furious, but after hearing Susan's thoughts, he felt incredibly absurd. Susan actually thought that he really liked her?

"I love you?" Joshua said with sarcasm. He taunted, "Susan, I can help you make an appointment with a good psychiatrist. Maybe you should have your brain examined!"

His denial made Susan irate. She said, "Joshua, if you deny it, you will lose me! Did you invest with Mathew Carter to help me? You also set up Joshua-Hazel Pictures, didn't you do that so that the Denmark family could help me smooth any obstacles I faced in the entertainment circle?"

Joshua never interpreted it that way. He was completely lost for words, he just thought Susan was a spoiled girl, but he now saw that she was delusional.

He was really angry that she had kidnapped Hazel and did not plan to let her get away with it, but it suddenly felt like a waste of his life to spend any longer entangled with her.

"I can tell you clearly, whether personally or on behalf of Denmark Group, I have never invested a dime in Mathew or Joshua-Hazel Pictures!" Joshua said seriously.

Susan's face was full of shock. "How is it possible?"

If Joshua didn't invest, then Joshua was in love with her and clearly just her wishful thinking. Had she just spoken out about love like a moron?

Susan was spoiled and had a lot of self-esteem, but Joshua's reaction to her speech crushed her. What made her act desperately was the dream of her and Joshua but was clearly all in her head.

If Joshua had no feelings for her, then why was he there? To revenge Hazel, she thought.

"You, if you do anything to me, my mom won't let you go!" Susan was bluffing. Joshua was surely not going to let her go without teaching her a lesson, she had to find a way to protect herself.

"Susan, I am giving you two options now," Joshua said point blankly.

Susan looked at him, puzzled. "What options?"

"First, you go back to Country D.," Joshua said coldly.

"I don't want to!" Susan refused without hesitation. "Joshua, let me go. I won't harass you and Hazel anymore! If you really go hard on me, you can't confront my mom, right? "

What Susan said was true, Joshua had to consider the influence of Sunny Edwards. Susan may have made stupid decisions, but she was clear from her point of view, Sunny must have taught her that.

"It's okay if you don't return to Country D.," Joshua said faintly, "But you should marry Richard."

As long as she married Richard, Susan wouldn't have much time to harass him and Hazel with his pestering nature.

"No way!" Susan refused. She had no feelings for Richard at all, she just enjoyed being admired by Ricard, but she didn't want to marry him.

"You don't have a third option!" Joshua said indifferently. He raised his hand slightly, and the bodyguard standing aside held a laptop and stood by Susan to show her a video.

Susan's face looked like she had been hit by a truck. It was a video of her and Richard having a "great time."

"You, you actually recorded me!" Susan was outraged.

"No, this is your own video, I just found it." Joshua's eyes went a bit colder.

Susan had prepared the camera in the room in advance. She originally planned to use it to take a video of Hazel and Richard, but things went south, and Joshua took the upper hand.

"Should I send this video to the Hamilton Family or to the media?" Joshua said coldly. "If you prefer the media, I can provide more things that are of interest to them."

Susan's face was pale as a zombie, and she was in utter despair.

If the media published the video and denied the relationship with Richard, it would probably be a scandal that would destroy her reputation in the entertainment circle. She would probably end up returning to Country D., And If she admitted the relationship with Richard, he would definitely want to be with her.

Furthermore, Joshua gave her the impression that he had other negative material about her in his keeping. Joshua was not giving her an opportunity to negotiate.

"Do you really want to go against my family for a woman?" Susan looked at him incredulously.

"You are wrong." Joshua said coldly, "You should ask, will your mother go against the Denmark Family for you?"

Susan sank lower in her chair. She was desperate, she knew Sunny would spoil her with many things and settle some trouble for her, but she would not offend the Denmark family for her.

"I, I... choose the second option." She gritted. Instead of going back to Country D, she would rather stay!

"Very good, I think the Hamilton Family would love to see the marriage." Joshua stood up and looked at her in a condescending manner. "And Susan, this is the last time I let you go. Please don't rechallenge me or my patience!"

Susan looked extremely distressed, and when Joshua walked out of the room, she slowly reached for her phone.

Joshua left the villa and got into the car, where Hazel had been waiting.

Hazel hastily asked, "All settled?"

"Yeah." As he started the car, Joshua said, "According to your method, she chose to be with Richard. However, I don't believe her."

Hazel had suggested the two options, Joshua had other plans, but she asked him to stop and deal with it her way. He did not agree; however, he did not want Hazel to be unhappy anymore.

"Hazel, she treated you like that. Why are you letting her go?" Joshua's eyes were full of doubts.
