Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

All the classmates understood instantly and looked at Karla with disgruntled expressions.

"You, you…" Karla gritted her teeth angrily. She didn't expect that there was no one in the room who wanted to help her!

Thinking that she would be humiliated if she stayed here, she picked up her handbag with exasperation and swore, "Humph, what a ridiculous reunion! Do you think I want to come?"

With that, she planned to leave directly.

If nobody helped her, she would have to help herself. At least she wouldn't have to slap herself if she ran away.

"Stop," Joshua spoke coldly.

Karla stiffened.

"I told you I was very petty." Joshua said indifferently, "You can't leave until you slap fifty times."

Karla swayed. At this moment, she was dying to rush out of the room, but she did not dare to offend Joshua.

Even though she had reached the door and could escape as long as she opened it, the pressure Joshua brought made her legs tremble. She could even tell clearly that if she left, Joshua would never let her go! At that time, her punishment wouldn't be just fifty slaps.

Karla turned helplessly and raised her hands.

"Wait!"

A sudden voice sounded. Karla exulted. Was someone willing to help her at long last? But as she followed the voice, her face paled again. It was none other than Ariel. As Hazel's best friend, how could Ariel help her?

Of course, Ariel wouldn't help Karla. Ariel pretended that she had just come to her senses, "I was so lost in the drama that I almost forgot... Master Denmark, Hazel is just too kind to tell you. Besides fifty slaps, Karla has to yell ten times 'Karla's baby is a bastard'!"

Joshua's eyes suddenly went cold. He wasn't in the room before, but he already knew what had happened according to Ariel's words.

"Mmm," he said flatly, "Go ahead."

Karla clenched her teeth with hatred, but she had to obey.

After yelling ten times, 'Karla's baby is a bastard,' Karla raised her hand and slapped herself in the face.

While slapping, she looked at the other people piteously, but they did not give her a glance at all. Instead, they just talked to each other, as if she didn't exist at all!

Even though Karla's slaps were relatively light, her face turned swollen because of the fifty slaps.

"May I go now?" Karla suppressed her hatred in the heart.

Joshua was whispering softly to Hazel. He said something, which made Hazel giggle.

"All right, let her go," Hazel said.

Joshua sighed quietly. This little girl was really soft-hearted. On such occasions, however, there was really no need for them to make a scene.

He waved his hand, and Karla ran away as if she had been granted amnesty.

After she ran out of Denmark Group's hotel, Karla couldn't help but stop and swear at Hazel.

No, she couldn't be just humiliated like that.

Karla was thinking about what rumors she could continue to spread to ruin Hazel's reputation when she heard everyone around her seem to be pointing fingers at her.

"It's her…."

"It seems to be her…"

Karla raised her head and shouted with a ferocious face. "What are you doing?"

The people hurried to walk away. She was still confused when she saw her parents walk towards her hastily.

Karla asked blankly. "Dad, mom, what are you doing here... Ah!"

Her father slapped her in the face hard. Karla was stunned. She never thought her father would beat her!

"What have you done?!" Her father threw a phone at her angrily!

Karla knew something was wrong. She picked up the phone to take a look, and then her face turned pale instantly! In order to blackmail Ivan, she had to find a man to help her get pregnant. But that man actually had a quirk and actually videotaped the scene where they had sex that night. Now, the man posted the video online!

"No, it, it isn't, that...." Karla panicked. "I, I, was set up…" she stammered as she tried to explain.

"How dare you quibble at this point! How can I have such a daughter like you!" Her father turned livid with anger. He couldn't help but slap her in the face again! After slapping, he gave her body a hard kick!

"Mom!!" Karla screamed in pain.

"Karla, you let us down," her mother, who had always been partial to and doted on Karla, looked at her grief-stricken. "You said firmly that you were pregnant with Ivan's child. Because we believed you, we broke up with the Lance family. Would our family end up like this if we didn't make too much trouble for the Lance family?

"But what did you do? What did you say in the video? You told the strange man personally that you would help him give birth to a bastard and then leave it to Ivan! How could you say that? How do you expect us to face the Lance family with confidence?"

"We can't have this kind of daughter like you! From this day on, Karla, let's cut ties with each other!"

"Mom, dad, I was wrong…." Karla was in a panic. Regardless of the pain, she reached out to embrace her father's leg.

However, her parents had completely abandoned her. Her father kicked her away in disgust and left together with her mother.

Of course, Hazel didn't know about these things. But Joshua, who sat next to her, suddenly took out his phone and read a message.

He had vaguely heard the noise in the room when he was outside talking with David.

He didn't come in immediately because he didn't know what was going on. Plus, there were a lot of things he couldn't do if Hazel were around.

So, after he heard from David that the woman who was causing Hazel's trouble was named Karla Lee, he asked Samuel to investigate her thoroughly.

After finding out that Karla had spread rumors and slandered Hazel, Joshua decided that he wouldn't let this woman go.

Of course, it was he who had had Karla's video let out, and he had prepared one copy for Karla's parents. It so happened that Karla's parents were nearby, so Karla ran into her parents immediately after she left the hotel.

Knowing that the woman got what she deserved, Joshua left it behind.

Without Karla, the whole reunion was very harmonious. Derek was still there, but he didn't take nonsense anymore.

Suddenly, Hazel's phone rang.

She took out her phone in surprise. It was a text message from Simon.

"You actually made such a big deal of it?"

"What?" Hazel was perplexed and sent him a text message.
