Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Someone locked my mother up using the company name and cut off Joshua's communication with us. Presumably, it is not some in the Denmark Family, but it is undoubtedly someone high profile. It could be someone Joshua knows or is familiar with."

Jaxson didn't expect that Hazel would be calmer than he was, but she worked on getting to the root of the problem in no time, even when Rachel was locked up.

He nodded, "I understand. I will find out who is behind all this as soon as possible. But..."

Jaxson had a hunch that Hazel was going to do something dangerous.

"Nothing." Hazel waved and interrupted him. "Just do what I said."

After leaving the police station, Hazel drove to the hotel as agreed. Entering the elevator, Hazel looked calm.

She had been looking around the entire way, and there did not appear to be any strange people around. It seemed that Henry was very confident about his plan, she could sense his arrogant attitude. However, that was a good thing for her, more advantageous to implement her plan.

The elevator door opened, and Hazel stepped out and stopped to look down the hall. She was surprised that just as she walked out, she saw a familiar figure walking into the elevator next to hers. By the time she turned to get a good look, though, the doors had closed.

If Hazel was no mistake, it was Mandy Wilson, Susan Edward's assistant. Why would she be there?

Although she had suspected that the person behind the Flores Family was Susan, she felt after judging Susan's personality she would not be able to pull off these tricks. Was she underestimating Susan?

There was no time to wonder about that, Hazel put aside her thoughts and walked to the door of the hotel room. She raised her hand calmly and knocked on the door.

When Henry opened the door, he was posing in what he thought was a handsome stance. "I knew you would come."

Hazel clenched her teeth and tried to keep a neutral-looking expression.

"Come in." Henry turned around, and Hazel followed him in.

She looked around quickly in the room. Henry had booked a suite on a long table in the living room, and there was an extravagant candlelight dinner. The bedroom door was half-open, but she could see in. The lights were dim, and there was a big bed full of rose petals.

He did prepare well... Henry was a straightforward man. It seemed that he had taken it for granted that she would spend the night with him.

Hazel became more vigilant. Henry could be arrogant, but she couldn't take it too lightly.

"Sit." Henry sat down on a chair.

Hazel sat silently opposite him. Henry said, "Eat something first. I heard that the steak here is pretty good."

"I am not in any kind of mood to eat," Hazel said indifferently.

Henry picked up the glass in front of him and said, "So, let's have a drink first?"

"I can't drink." Hazel refused again.

Henry's face was dissatisfied. "I know that you are in a bad mood now. But if you make me feel bad, then your mom will be locked up for a little longer."

Hazel's eyes went dark. If she didn't cooperate a little, Henry would be suspicious.

"Then I'll only have one drink," Hazel suggested. "I believe you won't want to see me get drunk."

"Yes." Henry's eyes lit up. He agreed instantly.

Hazel picked up the glass. She took a sip of the red wine in front of her, then raised her hand and rubbed her lips. Taking advantage of the opportunity, she spits the wine she had in her mouth into the tissue she held in the palm of her hand.

Hazel could not take the risk of being drugged by him.

"Now, can we talk about it?" Hazel looked at him. "What do you want before my mother is let go?"

"Hazel, don't worry. Let's talk about something else." Henry said slowly.

"What are we talking about?" Hazel asked.

"You know, this time it's Joshua who locked up your mother." Henry snorted.

"To be honest, I was quite surprised. At first, my parents called him, and I didn't think that Joshua would actually help. I didn't expect him to have your mother arrested. But also, how can a woman compare to his family? After all, if you are gone, he can find another girlfriend, right?"

Hazel bit her lip. If she had suspected Joshua from the beginning, she might actually have bought what Henry was saying. Fortunately, she was not stupid when it came to judging the difference between the Flores family and Joshua.

After thinking for a moment, Hazel lowered her head and said, "I believe he didn't mean to do this."

Henry was overjoyed. It looked like Hazel believed what he just said.

He quickly said, "Hazel, you should be clear by now. You must have contacted him for such a big thing, right? Did he care for you? He promised my mother he would absolutely not pick up your call! Hazel just accepts reality, Joshua does not care about you! You are just a woman to him for a period of time. To put it plainly, you are nothing but a toy to him!"

Hazel's face was becoming nastier. She didn't believe Henry would be capable of saying something like that. It seemed that the one behind the Flores Family was also very knowledgeable in relationships between men and women, and they clearly knew what a girl cared most about.

The speech Henry gave could indeed be lethal, but not Hazel.

Hazel lowered her head again, holding her forehead with her right hand. "I don't believe it! It's not like this!"

"Hazel, you are a smart woman. Are you willing to be a toy that Joshua just throws away when he is finished with it?" Henry stared at her. "At that time, you will have nothing left!"

"...What can I do then?" Hazel moved her hand down, covering her eyes as if she was crying.
