Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

He furrowed his brow slightly. He knew what Hazel meant. This little girl wanted to take care of her parents.

Since it was what she wanted, then he would definitely help her make it.

"Leave it to me, and I will persuade them," he whispered.

She was a little hesitant. It was not that she did not believe Joshua, but even she could not persuade her parents, let alone Joshua. Although they were pleased with Joshua now, what if her parents misunderstand him because of this?

Looking at her hesitant appearance, Joshua naturally guessed what she was worried about. He gently rubbed her hair. "Hazel, do you believe me?"

She nodded without hesitation.

"Then you continue to trust me," he whispered. "Leave this to me."

"All right." Hazel finally nodded and agreed. Whether Joshua would succeed or not, she should let him have a try.

"By the way," she couldn't help frowning. "I don't understand why my uncle's family is so determined to be my matchmaker. Would there be someone behind them, or would they have any other conspiracy?"

"No." Joshua shook his head slightly. "I checked, and there was no one suspicious behind them, but Scott seemed to be in trouble the other day, and no one knew how Matt helped him solve it. Time is too short. I haven't figured it out yet."

After he noticed Matt and Emma were strange, he had begun to investigate. His biggest concern was Matt and Emma had something to do with the organization. He was afraid the organization would hurt Hazel's parents.

It was because he had confirmed that Matt's family was not manipulated by the organization that Joshua did nothing to them. Otherwise, even if he might make the Crowe family suspicious, he would make Matt's family disappear. He would never tolerate any of the organization's dirty hands reaching out to Hazel.

Later, after consulting with the doctor who agreed to discharge Rachel from the hospital, Joshua went through the discharge procedures according to Rachel's instructions.

Harry and Rachel both had high self-esteem, so even though Joshua and Hazel were very rich, they were unwilling to spend any money on Joshua and Hazel.

So Joshua didn't give the Crowe family anything like a mansion or a luxury car. He knew clearly that, in the eyes of Harry and Rachel, it would be insulting, and his living in their house as a son-in-law was respect for the Crowe family.

While he couldn't show his respect financially, Joshua did a lot for the Crowe family in other ways they couldn't see. But he had never told them for praise. Harry and Rachel didn't know that, but Ronald did. He encountered many problems when he started his own business, but they were all solved smoothly afterward. Hence, he guessed Joshua helped him in private.

It was also because Ronald told Harry and Rachel everything that they were able to accept Joshua so quickly.

When Rachel got home, Joshua hired a senior nurse for her. If he wasn't afraid that Harry would think too much, he would have even hired a private doctor. Rachel knew Joshua was filial, so she didn't say no. As for the community they lived in, Joshua also changed the guards into more reliable ones to prevent Matt's family from bothering Rachel.

When Matt's family went to the hospital and heard Rachel had left the hospital, they went straight to the Crowe family's community, but they were directly stopped at the gate by the new security guards.

But even so, Matt's family didn't give up. Fanny bought flowers and presents directly and had them delivered to the Crowe family's house. After receiving these, Rachel asked Joshua to return them without hesitation.

Matt's family was well aware of the Crowe family's decision when Fanny received the returned presents. Although they were very reluctant, they couldn't even meet the Crowe family now and could do nothing.

"Now, what should we do?" Matt banged on the table angrily. "Harry's family are going too far!"

"I have an idea," Fanny, who had been silent, said suddenly. "We can find a way to meet Hazel!"

"Hazel's not a fool. Do you think you can meet her as long as you want?" Matt swore irritably.

He had never looked up to his own daughter. In his heart, after all, he only thought Scott was a member of the family and Fanny was nothing. Still, Fanny was a little smart and had helped them solve lots of troubles, like the idea of using Hazel to solve the trouble Scott had caused.

They would only remember Fanny was their daughter when they were in trouble. Fanny had been led astray over these years. She would think of any dirty ideas for being approved by her parents.

"She can't always stay at home since she is in City S," Fanny explained. "She'll definitely go out and meet someone. Then it will be our chance!"

Matt's eyes lit up as he thought she was right.

Fanny was right. Hazel wasn't at home all the time.

Rachel recovered very well, and she didn't want Hazel to keep staying home to take care of her. Just then, Hazel got an invitation from a high school classmate who invited her to go to a reunion.

Hazel didn't tell Joshua about it because he was busy with Denmark Group's business, and it was just a reunion between classmates. Hence, she went to the reunion alone.

The venue was a five-star hotel in City S. It so happened Denmark Group owned the hotel.

When she reached the appointed box, her face darkened instantly.

Because there were no classmates in the box except for Fanny.

Hazel's face went cold. The next moment, she walked out of the box, ready to leave.

"Hazel, wait!" Fanny stopped her quickly.

Just as Hazel stepped out of the box, Fanny caught up with her and took her by her hand.

Hazel shook her hand off immediately, and Fanny let out a scream and directly fell to the ground.

There were quite a few people around. When they heard the noise, they all turned to look at Hazel and Fanny.

Hazel looked back at Fanny, speechless. Fanny was looking at her piteously, her eyes full of aggrieved tears.

In addition, Fanny wore a long-sleeved shirt on purpose today, and the sleeves had been exposed, revealing her arms which were covered with shocking scars.

Hazel frowned. She was very annoyed. She was very eager to leave directly, but Fanny looked as if Hazel had bullied her.
