MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Chapter 1303 - 591: Why Didn’t You Tell Me Earlier?



"Besides, it's just my guess. I don't have any proof at present." She looked up into his eyes.

Before she said this statement, he had realized the things that she was going to say were very serious. He took her hand. She was so nervous that there was a fine layer of sweat in the palm of her hand.

"Say it," he whispered. "Hazel, whatever you say, I believe you."

"Fine..." She took a deep breath and calmed her pounding heart. She looked at Joshua and said gravely, "Joshua, Simon looks nothing like Ian Flores's sister. On the contrary, he looks just like your mother! I suspect… he may share the same parents with you!"

"What do you mean?!" He looked at her in surprise. Even if he had said, he believed Hazel, what she said was too absurd.

"I don't know why," she said, her face looking troubled with a puzzle. "Your parents should have separated when Simon was born... And Ian Flores's sister did give birth to Simon... But why did she give birth to a baby that looked nothing like her... Have I made a mistake... Joshua, do you want Simon and mom to take a DNA paternity test or something?"

He recovered from his shock. It did surprise him, but he was just surprised. Looking at Hazel, whose mind was a mess, he squeezed her hand hastily. "Hazel, don't think so much. It's very easy for us to get to the bottom of this."

"How?" She looked up at him. Could there be other methods besides the DNA paternity test?

"If it's just like you said," he said, his eyes narrowing, "then someone must know the truth!"

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

The call was soon put through, and he asked directly, "Mr. King, is Simon, my mother's child?"

Ted froze on the other end of the line. Joshua had never called him of his own accord, so Ted happily answered the phone. But it never occurred to him that Joshua actually called to ask him about this matter.

"How do you know that?" Ted asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this reply, Joshua felt only a surge of anger in his heart. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

He had thought that if Ted had really killed Simon's mother, Ted would not have the face to talk about improving his relationship with Simon, so there must be something behind it. But Joshua had never thought the truth would be like this, and Ted had been keeping it from him!

Ted had no idea what was going on. He was in a bad mood because he had never expected Joshua to question him when Joshua called him of his own accord the first time.

"It's you who asked me to accept Hazel in exchange for helping me improve my relationship with Simon," Ted said impatiently with a sneer. "In this case, you should rely on your own strength to discover this fact. Why should I tell you this to help you?"

Joshua got angrier. If Ted were in front of him, he wouldn't know what he'd do to Ted even if he knew Ted was his father!

"Very well!" Holding back his anger, Joshua said in a cold voice, "Because of your arrogance, tyranny, and stupidity, you are about to help kill your own son!"

"What do you mean?!" Ted's heart missed a beat. At this point, how could he not tell that something was wrong?

"Your son is now in the hands of Ian Flores," Joshua added with a touch of sarcasm. "I guess Ian Flores must have already known something. Mr. King, congratulations. You have made both of your sons wish they had nothing to do with you because of 'rely on your own strength'!"

With that, Joshua hung up in a huff.

Hazel, still in a daze, asked in astonishment, "Do you mean… Ian Flores knows that now?"

"Mm." His face was grim. "Ian Flores wants me dead. If he knew I was alive, how could he not come to me? Unless he already knows something, and he has someone he hates even more."

He didn't continue, but Hazel understood instantly.

It was indeed Ian Flores's sister who gave birth to Simon, which couldn't be false. But she gave birth to the baby, whose birth parents were another woman and Ted, and Ian had been taking care of this baby for years and had done everything he could for Simon.

It was a truth that even Hazel couldn't believe easily. How could Ian Flores possibly have no hatred? It was likely that Ian Flores had already felt he was duped and blamed all this on Simon.

So instead of killing Joshua, he sent the man of scar to come to Simon and tricked Simon into leaving.

Hazel's heart leaped. If so, Simon was in danger!

All Ian Flores wanted now was to get even with Simon, but now Simon still considered Ian as his own uncle!

"Joshua," Hazel hurried to say, "we have to find Simon quickly!"

"I have sent men to follow him. Don't worry. I'll save him," Joshua said in a deep tone. Even if Joshua didn't know Simon was his brother who had the same mother as him, Joshua would also save Simon.

Joshua didn't remember the past, so whatever he did now, he went with his first instinct. Joshua repelled Simon, but he did not dislike Simon. Even his heart felt Simon was close and trusted Simon. Joshua believed Simon felt the same way about him. This time around, of course, Joshua couldn't leave Simon alone.

"I'll go with you." Seeing that Joshua was going to leave, she hurried to follow him.

"Hazel, stop that now," he said helplessly.

"I won't make trouble," she said earnestly. "Joshua, when you go to rescue Simon, you'll definitely bring a lot of men, won't you? Aren't you afraid Ian Flores's men will suddenly come to me after you leave? After all, if he catches me, he can use me to threaten you!"

He frowned slightly. He believed that if Ian Flores really knew something, Ian would be in a state of half madness right now, and Ian wouldn't be able to come up with the idea of distracting Joshua to kidnap Hazel again.

Before he could say anything, Hazel continued, "So, the safest place for me is next to you! If you're really worried about me, you should take me with you all the time!"
