Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

However, thanks to the bug, Joshua found Hazel so quickly and proved her innocence.

Hazel's eyes were full of disappointment, "Janet? Isn't she your secretary? Are you saying that she is actually doing this without you knowing?"

Joshua said, "Hazel, I don't need to do this to you. Or, maybe I should ask her to explain to you in person?"

"She works for you. Of course, she will do anything as you say." Hazel snorted.

Joshua frowned. Hazel didn't believe him. Now, no matter what he said, she decided that he had instructed Janet to do it.

"What did she say to you? And do you really have that much of a misinterpretation to me?" Joshua asked.

To solve the misunderstanding, he had to find where the root of it all came from.

He only knew Janet had said something to Hazel. But Janet would not disclose what she said to Hazel, and he could not guess.

"Joshua, let me go." Hazel suddenly said. Joshua's pupils shrank.

"I don't care what your purpose is, but I really don't want to continue to be involved with you." Hazel took a deep breath and said firmly, "I was attending your surrogacy competition just for the one thousand dollars. Let me return it to you, and we are clear. "

"Hazel, that is unfair to me." Joshua frowned with strength, "I don't even know what I did wrong, and you just condemned me to death. Even a condemned prisoner should have a chance to defend himself."

"No, you didn't do anything wrong." Hazel said, "We belong to two different worlds. We should not have known each other from the beginning. The most important thing is that I don't want to have anything to do with you. I have had bad luck ever since I met you. So, please let me go, I just want to live an ordinary life."

She blamed him for...her luck being worse? Was it really that bad to be with him?

Joshua felt even more despair. No matter what he said, Hazel probably would not listen to it.

"I will take you back first." He whispered, "Now is not the right time to settle things between us. We should wait till you calm down."

"I am very calm!" Hazel was furious.

"But I am not calm. This is not the right time to talk about matters between us," Joshua said with a tone full of agony.

"You...!" Hazel glared at him, "Even if you delay this conversation, it will not matter. When I have made up my mind, I don't change it."

"Okay." Joshua nodded indifferently.

Hazel was both annoyed and helpless. Joshua did not want to hear what she said, so he took her back to the dorm.

Hazel had to swallow her anger.

She returned to her room and heard that Ariel and Summer were chatting.

"Someone online guessed that Prince Charming canceled the surrogacy competition because he had chosen a candidate. Check out this post, really well-spoken." Summer said.

"I saw it. Do you think those gossip reporters would dig up Hazel?" Ariel asked.

"It depends on whether Hazel and Prince Charming plan to disclose their relationship." Summer smiled and looked at Hazel.

"I have nothing to do with him." Hazel said coldly, "Don't mention him in front of me again!"

The two roommates were astounded. Ariel asked cautiously, "Are you quarreling?"

Hazel put on a poker face. Quarreling? It's impossible to quarrel with Joshua.

Summer hurriedly shifted the topic, "Hazel, two days ago, your parents called and said they want to come and see you. Did you call them back? We can find a place to accommodate them if they visit."

Hazel's look eased a lot, "I called them and said that I have an exam soon. They are not coming, they changed their mind about coming to visit and decided to go elsewhere."

The two sighed and dared not mention Joshua anymore.

In the evening, when Hazel finished showering and was about to go to bed, she heard some noise from downstairs.

While she was about to go to the balcony to see what happened, Ariel swung open the dorm door and rushed in.

"Hazel, go!" Ariel took her and ran outside the door.

Hazel asked behind Ariel, "Wait for a second, Ariel, what happened?"

Ariel took her down the stairs and explained quickly, "It's still a matter of surrogacy competition. Someone claimed that you are the surrogate mother chosen by Joshua. This thing blew up online, and your information was released."

She continued to say, "Some jerk even uploaded a few photos of you sitting in various luxury cars, saying that you...Forget it. These are not important. The problem are the media. Reporters are now jamming the gate of the dormitory building. They can rush up and interview you at any time. It's better you slip away from the back door now..."

Before Ariel finished talking, those reports were already rushing up the stairs.

"Not good!" Their expression turned to panic. If they went downstairs, they would surely bump into the reporters, and it's also too late to head back.

What should they do?

The door of the dorm room next to them suddenly opened. It was Summer who hurriedly waved at the two and said, "Get in!"

Hazel and Ariel got into the dorm room next door.

Listening to the noise and footsteps outside the door, Hazel leaned against the door and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Well, her luck had not run out.

However, Hazel heard someone shouting outside, "I saw her go into a room on his floor!"

Suddenly the door was being pounded on by multiple people, and the sound was deafening.

Hazel blocked the door, and her face turned pale.

No way? She just ran out of luck? She could not get away with this?

"This way!" Summer's friend generously took and handed the bedsheet to Hazel and said, "You should go now. We will block them for you!"

Hazel hurriedly took the sheet and ran to the balcony. Ariel and the other two girls were blocking the door.

Hazel could not think much. She tied the sheet to the railing of the balcony and slipped down the sheet.

It's on the second floor. The length of one bedsheet was barely enough.

Before Hazel's feet touched the ground, someone nearby shouted, "Hey, someone dropped off the balcony! It must be Hazel! Where is she?"

It's impossible! There were still some reporters guarding downstairs?

In a panic, Hazel suddenly let go of her hands and fell on the grass.

She landed on her feet but tumbled forward. Her foot was hurting, but she could worry about that later. She quickly stood up and ran toward the front gate.
