MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Chapter 1261 - 549: Who Is This Woman?



But Joshua planned to do as Ted said first and took Simon back to the manor.

He turned around to look at the assistant Ted had arranged for. He was a gentle, young man about his age named Barry Watson.

"Have you found out Simon King's recent whereabouts?" Joshua asked.

"The email about his whereabouts has been sent to your mailbox," Barry replied.

Joshua nodded. He opened his mailbox and read the email.

The email clearly showed Simon's whereabouts along with photos. It seemed that Simon did not try to hide his own whereabouts, so Joshua's men could find him so quickly.

However, judging from Simon's appearance and actions, Simon seemed sneaky, following someone.

Suddenly, Joshua's eye fell on one of the photos, and his pupils shrank slightly.

In that photo, besides Simon, there was Hazel. Although there was only one side of her face on it, and the outline of her face was not clear, Joshua felt as if his heart thumped for a bit.

"Who is this woman?" He whispered, pointing to the photo.

Barry gave the photo a look. "This seems to be the woman Master Simon is chasing. She's president of the Denmark Group."

"Is that all?" There was a little resentment in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Master Joshua," said Barry, somewhat terrified. "I only kept an eye on Master Simon. If you need it, I'll Investigate the woman right now…."

It was not that Barry didn't want to say more about Hazel. It was just that he didn't know anything about Hazel.

Although Ted gave Joshua a lot of people, all the people who followed Joshua were not very clear about the situation of Country Z because Ted knew that if Joshua was followed by a person who knew what had happened to Joshua in Country Z, Joshua would probably notice this and find the truth.

Joshua frowned slightly. For some reason, when he saw the photo and heard Simon was chasing her, Joshua felt very upset.

He singled out all the photos and marked them. Hazel could be vaguely seen in the corners of these photos.

"Simon cares about her very much," Joshua said firmly.

"... Yes." Barry added, "Master Simon has been secretly protecting her."

"In that case," Joshua's eyes turned slightly dark, and a wicked smile suddenly played on his lips, "then kidnap her."

"Huh?!" Barry's eyes widened with shock. He didn't stay with Joshua for a long time, but he knew Joshua's personality. This kind of thing like kidnapping innocent people didn't seem like something Joshua would do!

"Why?" Joshua looked at him indifferently. "Since Simon cares so much about her, if we kidnap her, wouldn't we be able to subdue him and make him obey?"

"This..." Barry didn't know what to say.

"Besides, don't tell anyone." Joshua's eyes narrowed. He had a bad feeling that if Ted knew it, Ted would definitely stop him!

"... Aye." Barry had no choice but to agree.

"Where's Madeline?" There was unhappiness on Joshua's face. He didn't care about Madeline, but he was worried that she would do something bad.

"When she got to the kindergarten, she left quietly," Barry answered.

"Find out where she goes," Joshua repressed his disgust. His eyes softened slightly as they rested on Hazel, "and check her whereabouts, too."

Barry agreed immediately.

If Ted knew that Joshua's way of bringing back Simon was to kidnap Hazel, Ted would simply vomit blood. The last thing he would like to see was Joshua and Hazel met each other!

Madeline was sent to the kindergarten, but how could she stay in the kindergarten, behaving herself?

She had already had someone stalking Hazel, so she directly called him to know about Hazel's whereabouts. After that, she secretly left the kindergarten and headed for Hazel's current destination.

Hazel made an appointment with the doctor for antenatal care today. Hardly had she gotten off the car at the hospital gate when she couldn't help getting angry.

Simon was actually still following her. Furthermore, this time he didn't follow her secretly but followed her openly. He even got out of the car and came to her.

"What do you want?!" she asked, trying hard to suppress her anger. If it had not been for the baby in her belly, she would have lost her temper.

"Keep your company in the antenatal care," Simon said lightly. "Besides, your child and I are related by blood..."

She got angry instantly. "Who said you and my child are related by blood?! Enough, Simon King!"

"How can you say so?" Simon said slowly. "Either way, it's my brother's kid, isn't it, sister-in-law?"

Hazel's anger dissipated. Simon's words really made her unable to refute.

"Who is your sister-in-law?" She gritted her teeth.

"Joshua is my biological brother anyway. You and he are married. You're my sister-in-law, of course." He wore a calm expression.

Her eyes dimmed slightly.

He exhaled and patted her on the shoulder. "Enough, Hazel, I've given up chasing you. Could you not show me an angry face anymore? Otherwise, I'd better continue to chase you."

"Get lost." She scolded him crossly and turned around to walk into the hospital.

With a wry smile, he followed her.

He really gave up.

It had been nearly three months since Joshua disappeared. Everyone thought he was dead, but his body was nowhere to be found. Nonetheless, Hazel was the only one who firmly believed Joshua was still alive.

Simon liked Hazel, but seeing that Hazel only had Joshua in her heart, he couldn't chase her anymore even if he wanted. Moreover, he was genuinely guilty of Joshua's death. He knew clearly that Hazel would never completely forgive him for the rest of her life.

So, compared to chasing Hazel, he wanted her to be happy. As long as he could stay with her with the identity of a family member and atone for his fault, he was happy.

After Simon caught up with Hazel, Hazel suddenly stopped.

She turned around in a daze, looking around blankly.

"Hazel, what's the matter?" Simon asked in surprise.

"... I don't know," she replied as she put her hand on her chest, absent-minded. "My heart suddenly missed a beat..."

It felt like… Joshua was nearby. Hazel didn't say this, but for some reason, she had a strange feeling that… he was here.
