Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Lily was sadly crying, "Hazel, let me come clean with you. In fact, I have been having an affair with Joshua for a long time. This is not our first time. He told me that he never touched you at all because he had no desire for you at all! He likes my body, likes everything about me. He just doesn't want to hurt you, so he hasn't broken up with you..."

Saying that, Lily looked at Hazel provocatively. Rachel really wanted to beat the hell of Lily and Joshua. She looked at Hazel with some worries. Hazel was easy-going, but she could become extremely ruthless when someone crossed her.

Rachel suddenly worried that Hazel would not be able to accept such a horrible shock. However, Hazel's reaction was not what she expected, and she didn't seem to be sad at all, it was more so sarcastic.

Hazel looked at Lily indifferently, "Lily, if you tell a story even you won't believe, will your conscience get hurt? Or, do you have a conscience at all?"

"You...!" Lily was angered. Why was Hazel so calm? Some inexplicable panic flashed in her mind. She suddenly knew that something was wrong.

Taking a deep breath, Lily said angrily, "Hazel, you just continue to deceive yourself! Are you blind? Don't you see what we are doing?"

"I saw it, and I can still see it very clearly." Hazel sneered, "But I think you are the blind one. Even if you do something like that with another man, it has nothing to do with Joshua. Is your paranoia getting worse?"

Rachel was stunned. She understood what Hazel meant and swiftly glanced at the sofa. She was totally surprised. The man on the sofa wasn't wearing any clothes, and even though his face was covered by a piece of clothing, Rachel's eyes were sharp. She realized that the person under Lily was on top of was not Joshua.

Rachel looked at Hazel in surprise. Hazel had been calm since she came in, which meant... she knew it from the beginning?

"You, you have paranoia!" Lily was mad. She turned her head to look at the man on the sofa, reached out, and pulled off the clothes on his face. She seemed to be anxious to prove something, shouting, "Now you see, he is... you, who are you?!"

She couldn't say any more, she made a face of utter disgust. The person under her was a complete stranger. Where was Joshua?!

"What happened?" A male voice came from the door of the study. Rachel turned back and saw Joshua standing behind them.

"It's what you are seeing." Hazel shrugged.

Lily also saw Joshua. She was so shocked that she rolled down from the sofa and pointed at them with grief, "You, you set me up!"

At this moment, she finally knew that both Joshua and Hazel did not drink the milk that she had drugged. They must have discovered her plan from the beginning.

Hence, Joshua turned off the lights in the study and made her mistakenly think that the person in the study was him. No wonder she had the feeling that something was wrong.

"Set you up?" Hazel said coldly, "Did we make you put drugs in the milk? Did we tell you to sneak into the study? Lily, you have been caught!"

"You, you..." Lily was annoyed and desperate. "You guys framed me! I'm innocent."

"You are innocent?" Hazel smiled coldly. Lily seduced Joshua in front of her again and again, and her plots came one after another.

"She doesn't deserve a long conversation." Joshua said impatiently and turned to Lily, "Denmark Residence does welcome you, please leave."

Joshua was about to drive her away. Lily couldn't help but shudder. She looked at Hazel. "You, you can't do this to me!"

"Hey, please take care of her. We need to go to sleep." Hazel looked at Joshua. She didn't want to spend one more second talking to Lily.

"Get some rest now." Joshua reached out and touched Hazel's hair. "You don't have to worry about these things."

Hazel and Rachel returned to the room together, and Rachel's expression gave an impression of unpleasantness.

"Hazel, you knew that guy in the study was not Joshua." Rachel asked in annoyance, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Mom, I told you not to go. You didn't listen." Hazel said, somewhat helpless.

"And when you saw Lily sneak into Joshua's study, why didn't you think of stopping her first? Instead, you let her put on her show and then took me to catch them on the spot?"

"If he betrayed you, then the man would not be worthy of you. Why should I stop?"

"What if he was framed?"

"If he can be framed by the people around him, and that can only prove that he is useless! If he is so incompetent, he can't protect you at all. How can I allow you to be with him in that case?"

Hazel was speechless. She understood now how much Rachel didn't like Joshua. She really wanted to break them up, so she would let Lily mess around.

Taking a deep breath, Hazel said helplessly, "Then you saw it too. He was wise enough not to be framed. He can protect me, and he has not betrayed me. Are we clear?"

Rachel could not say anything. She looked at Hazel angrily, "Why must the guy be him? Hazel, don't you find out, you have lost all of your vigilance around this guy? How can I feel relieved?"

"Mom, I've decided to be with him. You must've known it the last time you were here, right?" Hazel said blankly. "Why should I be on alert around him? Just like when I am by your side, okay?"

Rachel was feeling hurt. It turned out that Hazel had begun seeing Joshua as a part of her family.

"Like this time, Lily put the drug in my milk too." Hazel continued, "I didn't know, but Joshua found out. He came to tell me and took the milk away. I don't have to worry about any conspiracy or scheming around him because I know that he is very reliable!"

"Reliable?" Rachel sneered, "What about the Flores family?"
