Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

He stopped. He took out his wallet the next moment and threw a few bills in the air before the bills directly fell on her body!

"What, what do you mean?!" She was livid with anger.

That wasn't her original plan. Why was Joshua's reaction different from what she had thought?!

He was so cold and heartless, which even made her forget what she had planned to do!

"Don't you want compensation?" His face was extremely cold. "It's enough to compensate you."

"You…!" She almost passed out! What the hell did he think she was?! No way, she must calm down. She must calm down. This plan must succeed without failure!

If this chance encounter didn't work out well, it would be too deliberate for her to get close to him again in the future. Moreover, if Joshua had been on his guard against her, it would be more difficult for her to approach him!

Taking a few deep breaths, she suppressed anger deep in the heart and revealed a pitiful look. "Sir, you got me wrong...."

"Sorry, I'm busy." He was not going to continue listening. After that, he was ready to leave directly.

'Sir, you can't just leave like that!" She hurried to stand in his way. She had originally planned to jump at him again, but he just gave her a cold look, which made her shudder instantly!

Remembering the humiliation of being pushed over just now, she bit her lip and finally did not approach him. With a wounded expression, she said helplessly, "I need your help! Please help me…."

Before she finished the sentence, several burly men came out of the corner of the corridor. They came up to her in a menacing manner. "There you are, you bitch! Come with us!"

"No! I'm not going with you!" She looked frightened and hastened to hide behind Joshua, weeping tearfully. "They're all bad people, Sir! These people drugged me and tried to assault me, and I managed to escape with difficulty... If you don't help me, they'll ruin my whole life!"

Then she desperately winked at the men.

It was, of course, she who had hired them to act.

To be exact, that was what she had planned.

If she just ran into Joshua coincidentally, how could she make her and him close? What was more, Madeline was narcissistic, but she didn't think she could be beautiful enough to seduce Joshua into sleeping with her from the moment he clapped eyes on her.

Hence, she planned it all on purpose.

She ran into Joshua to just make him notice her. Later, these 'bad guys' appeared. As a man, how could Joshua not save a beauty like a hero?

As long as Joshua saved her, wouldn't it make sense for her to pester him or even force him?

She gave Joshua such a reason to have sex with her, and she wasn't worried he wouldn't take the bait. How could it be possible that a man wouldn't make the most of the situation?

Although the original plan was a bit unexpected, the whole plan was still on the right track. Even if Joshua didn't help her up, he wouldn't watch such an innocent beauty be taken away by such a group of bad guys, would he?

Thinking of this, Madeline was very complacent. She even began to imagine how she would pretend to be influenced by drugs and how she would have sex with Joshua.

Seeing the hint from Madeline, several people opened their mouths ferociously, "Brat, we are only here to catch this woman. Mind your own business!"

"Yeah! This girl is good-looking, but it's we who took a fancy to her first. We are to destroy her, don't dream about being a hero and saving her!"

Joshua looked indifferently at the men in front of him. They came to catch Madeline, but after Madeline hid behind him, they all stopped in front of him and actually didn't have the intention of walking up to catch her.

Joshua knew something was wrong with Madeline from the moment she appeared. How could he not figure out what Madeline was up to now? This woman was such an idiot.

"Rest assured," he said, curling his lips slightly. "You can do whatever you want. I won't care."

Then he stepped aside quietly and leaned directly against the wall in the corridor, completely exposing Madeline in front of those strong men.

In a flash, the strong men froze. This was totally different from what Madeline had told them!

They had agreed with her that as long as Joshua protected her, they would go through the motions and get punched by Joshua for a while before they could pretend to 'be defeated and flee.' But now Joshua didn't care at all?

In this case, how could they fight him? How could this continue? They couldn't really take Madeline away, could they?!

These burly men directly froze on the spot and even looked blankly in Madeline's direction.

Madeline paled!

That didn't make sense! She had investigated Joshua, who was a very righteous man. Why would he ignore this incident?

"If you don't help me, Sir, you'll ruin my whole life!" She gritted her teeth and continued to pretend to be wounded. "You are a man. Shouldn't you uphold justice at this time?"

While speaking, she gestured furtively for the men to act.

The leading man was still a bit clever. After seeing Madeline's hint, he said cooperatively, "Hahaha, bitch, do you think he's a man? He doesn't dare say no while watching us hunt after you in front of him. I think he is gutless!"

"Yes, he's a gutless good-for-nothing!" The others hurried to echo.

Madeline breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, she must force Joshua to meddle in her affairs!

She gritted her teeth lightly and continued to goad Joshua. "Look, Sir, don't you feel angry that they misunderstand you like that?"

"Why should I feel angry?" Joshua said, nonchalant. "As long as my wife knows I'm not gutless, I don't care how people misunderstand me."

Her face twitched. She had never expected Joshua to say that! Even if he was scolded so fiercely, he was not angry?

Why was that?!

"Besides," he said, looking at her with a half-smile, "I don't think you're in danger."

Her body stiffened. She realized how fake her acting had been!

Then she gritted her teeth and was ready to risk! She dropped a hint.

According to her hint, the burly men came directly up to her, seized her with ease, and prepared to take her away.

"Go with us!"
