Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

If Hazel had remembered correctly, when she had unintentionally heard a part of Jennie and Joshua's conversation, Jennie said Joshua should not have helped them from the beginning. Was Jennie actually referring to Flores's family?

If Joshua really had given money to Flores's family, no wonder they would look for more.

However, there were too many uncertainties. How did the Flores family know the person they were looking for was Joshua? Since Joshua did not disclose his identity, they should not have been able to find him.

Hazel took a deep breath. Everything looked messy. She didn't know what the truth was or even where to start investigating.

"Aunt Jennie is not the kind of person you are talking about." Hazel looked at Caroline earnestly and seriously, saying, "If Joshua really asked her to give you money, then Aunt Jennie wouldn't take a dime."

Lanny pulled on Caroline's sleeve, and she sat down with a gloomy face. She looked at Hazel coldly, the more she looked, the more she disliked Hazel. This woman still wanted to be her daughter-in-law? As long as Joshua was reunited with them, she would force Joshua to dump Hazel.

"We don't want to pursue what happened in the past." Lanny said, "Now we only want to reunite with our son. We were out of options when we had to send him away that year..."

Hearing Lanny's excuses and how much he missed his son, Hazel only felt disgusted. The hypocrisy of this family had truly refreshed her worldview.

They had never thought about finding their son for so many years, but after they got help, they thought of him. They even felt jealous of Jennie, who had been raising him, and accused her of something she would not do. Anyone could see what kind of people they were and what they really wanted.

"How about," Hazel said, "I call Joshua to find out if he really is your son? It will be clear when you meet."

"No, no, we can't see him now!" Lanny and Caroline hurriedly said.

"Why?" Hazel's look was a bit more suspicious.

"We had difficulties in the past that he would still not understand, so he would rather anonymously help us and would refuse to go home to reunite with us." Lanny said in a painful manner, "If we meet now, he will definitely deny our relationship!"

"Why didn't you go searching for him before?" Hazel asked coldly.

"Hazel," Caroline suppressed the dissatisfaction in her head and spoke like a nice mother, "We are his biological parents. If there was any other option at that time, how could we have sold our son? We didn't look for him before because we didn't want to disturb his life. If he were doing well, we would only pull the rug out from under him, right?"

"In fact, we didn't really think we deserved to have him back." Lanny lowered his head and continued, "However, we went to the hospital a few months ago for a physical examination. The hospital found a tumor in my wife's stomach. The doctor said that the situation is very serious. We just wish to see our son and hear him call us Mom and Dad once before we pass away!"

Hazel was a little bit shocked. She asked, "Really?"

"Of course, it's true." Lanny hurriedly said, "Theresa, show her the hospital's diagnosis!"

Theresa hesitated for a moment and finally took the diagnosis from the bag and handed it to Hazel. She looked at the diagnosis, which did not look forged.

If Caroline was really terminally ill, no matter what purpose they held to contact Joshua, it should not obstruct a mother's last wish.

"Are you sure Joshua is your son?" Hazel frowned and couldn't help but ask again.

All the evidence at the moment proved that Joshua was indeed their son, Hazel still felt suspicious regarding the entire situation. Judging from their looks, Hazel could never tell Joshua was from this family.

"Of course, we are sure!" Lanny retorted, "If not, why is he secretly helping our family?"

"Alright, let's assume you are telling the truth." Hazel didn't want to entangle with them, "But, you don't want to see Joshua, so how do you want me to help?"

Seeing that she was finally willing to help, Lanny and Caroline glanced at each other gladly.

Lanny said, "Now he still has some misunderstanding with us, so he is repulsed by us. We hope that you can let him know that we as parents still love him. "

"Also, please bring Henry and Theresa home with you so that they can get to know their brother and they can help you too. Please ask Joshua to find Henry a job in the Imperial Capital. Theresa should be going to college, could you see to that?"

Hazel was dumbfounded. Why was this family acting like this? They didn't even reunite with Joshua, and they were already thinking of a way to exploit him.

Seeing Hazel's horrified expression, Caroline quickly said, "Hazel, we also know that we are asking too much, but I don't have many years left on my clock. I just hope that these kids have a good future before I am gone!"

Seeing that Caroline began to cry, Hazel couldn't help but frown. She said faintly, "I can take Theresa back, but not Henry. Also, you should try and find a job for him yourself."

"Why?" Henry, who had been busy eating, looked at Hazel with a gloomy face.

"If I take a man back, Joshua will be suspicious. When he investigates into this, and he will investigate, he will know your identity." Hazel explained.

She could help, but she would never help the family without restrictions. She just needed to let Joshua know where they were. Whether or not to reunite with his parents and whether to help them or not, she would respect Joshua's own choice.

"We'll do as you say." Lanny and Caroline said and nodded.

With things settled, they all walked out of the café. Hazel and Theresa walked to a nearby parking lot.

As they got in the car, Henry suddenly appeared next to them. He began knocking on the car window impatiently.

Hazel opened the window. Henry squatted down level with Hazel and said with a playful tone, "Sister, you got a good car. Is it a gift from Joshua? Can I borrow your ride for a few days?"

Hazel's face was extremely threatening. Henry knew her relationship with Joshua, and he dared to hassle her.

Hazel took a deep breath and said coldly, "You must learn to drive first!"

After saying that, Hazel slammed on the gas pedal and pulled away from him.

"That girl is really hot!" Henry looked at the car from behind. His eyes turned extremely evil.
