MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Chapter 1005 - 293: Why Didn't You Tell Us Earlier?



Joshua took a deep breath and said, "I think I should help him with his wish."

His words made the Flores family and Lily panic. They had determined that Joshua had felt some deep guilt or affection for them because of their son, and he would not go hard on them. That was why they dared to be so arrogant, but things were not exactly what they imagined.

Joshua used to be nice to them, perhaps because they were the parents of his friend. He didn't retaliate against them, perhaps because he was condescending, or perhaps because he knew that Jughead was actually craving for affection deep down in his heart.

But no matter what the reason was, they had consumed all of Joshua's patience, and there was no reason to be easy on them.

"Joshua... No, Mr. Denmark, you can't do this to us." Lanny said. He was terrified and quickly said, "You know that he was angry, he didn't really mean it. Wherever he is, he would be sad if he knew that you were doing this to us!"

"Right, right!" Caroline echoed. "He just said that because he cared about us..."

Joshua looked at them calmly, his eyes so indifferent, without the slightest emotion. He said, "Jaxson, get them out of here."

The bodyguards stepped forward and escorted the Flores family out.

Joshua looked at Fred and asked, "Director Cohen, is there anything else?"

Fred's face twitched.

Fred arrived with the Flores family and was hoping they would cause chaos, then the board would find a way to take advantage of the situation. However, Hazel had plans of her own, which completely destroyed their plan and caught him off guard.

Fred looked at Hazel with deep and dark eyes and said with a serious look,

"Joshua, I apologize for the previous thing because of lack of information. But, are you sure she is the lost child of the Denmark family? I heard that their enemies killed her when they took her?"

"Director Cohen, you are one of those who had experienced the entire situation." Joshua said faintly, "You should clearly know that when Hazel was young, her body was never found. That was, at that time, that Mr. and Mrs. Crowe rescued her."

"This is a big thing. I can't rely on this simple information to identify her as a child of Denmark Family." Fred said with a dignified look. "I don't think other directors will agree either. You can't just present Denmark Group to her in this way!"

Hazel sighed, she had always had a good impression of Fred. After all, Joshua said that Fred and his parents were very good friends when he was young. It seemed that time and money could change everything, and Fred only cared about the Denmark family's property.

"I will convene a board meeting as soon as possible," Joshua said faintly,

"At that time, I will give every one of you a statement confirming Hazel's identity."

Fred snorted when he heard that Joshua seemed to already have evidence to prove Hazel's identity.

Fred did not say anything more, he just looked really serious as he said goodbye to Joshua and left.

After getting in the car outside of Denmark Residence, Fred couldn't take it any longer. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number to tell the person on the phone what happened at Denmark Residence.

"Really?" The person on the phone thought for a while and sighed softly,

"Joshua is really remarkable. We haven't sent him the 'Denmark Family's child.'

yet, and he has already found one."

"What should I do now?" Fred asked with some doubts. "That Hazel...Is she really the child of Marcus and Cate?"

"Let's forget about it for a moment." The person said faintly, "No matter whether she is or not, now she has no way to prove that she is really the child of Denmark Family. The child in our care should also be sent to them now."

"There seems to be evidence in Joshua's hands..." Fred hesitated.

"Don't worry. I can probably guess what the evidence he got." The person said, "I have the same kind of evidence in my hands. What you have to do is to slow him down and then announce the identity of our child ahead of him."

"Okay," Fred promised.

In the Denmark Residence, everyone had left. Even Jennie was taken back to the orphanage by Joshua's driver. Hazel looked at the empty hall and felt emotional. Many things were going to change, and she couldn't tell if it was going to get better or worse.

"Hazel, what the hell is going on?" Rachel said with a sullen face.

"Rachel, let's go to the study and talk about it," Joshua said faintly.

Although Rachel was still furious, she went to the study with them. Hazel told Rachel everything. Rachel's expression became deep and thoughtful. She realized that Hazel had already known her own identity when they were there last time.

When she thought carefully, she believed that last time, Hazel suddenly broke up with Joshua also because of this fact. Rachel stared at Hazel. Her mind was chaotic.

"How can you prove that Hazel is the lost child of the Denmark family?" Rachel asked. She was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Joshua took out Hazel's baby photo. Looking at the photo, Rachel's pupils shrank. She now fully believed that Hazel was indeed the lost child of the Denmark family.

After they adopted Hazel, they also took pictures of her. At that time, Hazel was exactly the slightly-grown version of the little baby. Rachel had watched her grow up, so she knew better than anyone else how Hazel looked when she was a child.

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Rachel looked at Hazel helplessly.

Rachel began to feel her relationship with Hazel had just changed...a bit.

"Mom," Hazel stepped forward and gently caught her hand. She said with some protest, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would deliberately alienate me, like what you are doing now!"

Rachel was stunned. Hazel actually noticed that? Indeed, after learning about the fact, Rachel suddenly didn't know how to deal with Hazel. So, she subconsciously began to alienate Hazel.
