MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Chapter 1324 - 612: Do You Have To Be Stubborn?



Joshua was vigilant.

"Do you have to be so stubborn?" Ted looked at her with reluctance.

Joshua's eyes flashed with heavy sarcasm. Even at the moment, Ted still didn't know who had done wrong.

Both Joshua and Simon could get along well with each other. They all recognized Stacy as their mother, while Ted was the only person that they repelled. Even the condition of Stacy, who had been with him for months, worsened instead of getting better. Wasn't that the best proof?

But Ted still went his own way stubbornly. He didn't blame himself at all but vented his anger on Hazel as if Hazel had grabbed his wife and his sons.

How could Joshua possibly continue to communicate with such a person?

"Mr. King, it's you who is stubborn. You've always been the one who can't figure it out," Joshua spoke with deep eyes. "I'm leaving now. I don't want Hazel to wait too long."

With that, he turned slightly away.

Watching him leave, Ted didn't stop him.

It was he who was wrong?

Ted just thought it was extremely ridiculous.

His wife and children were still alive, but he knew nothing about it before. It was clearly he who had been through this kind of separation for years. Now, the whole family was reunited with difficulty. He wanted to fulfill his duties as a father, but his sons were estranged from him because of a woman. How could he possibly be wrong?

Ted thought with sinister eyes.

Now Hazel had such a strong influence. Wouldn't she be more influential in the future? But, no, he must settle the matter before it was too late!

When Hazel went downstairs to the living room, she suddenly saw a familiar figure lurking in a corner, peeping in her direction.

"Madeline Carter!" "Hazel shouted subconsciously.

Madeline stiffened. She didn't expect Hazel to see her! Madeline gritted her teeth, but she who nursed a grievance refused to bow down in front of Hazel. Instead, with a cold snort, she swaggered over to Hazel.

"What do you want?" Madeline asked angrily.

"Nothing. I just think your servant suits you." A smile played on Hazel's lips.

"If it weren't for you, would I be reduced to this?" Madeline felt he would almost burst with anger and shame! When she thought about it, she almost put all the blame on Hazel!

"You mean you blame me for not being able to cooperate with you and obediently let you bully me?" There was a cold flash in Hazel's eyes. "What makes you have the illusion that I'm a pushover?"

Madeline was too angry to speak. "Hazel, how long do you think you can be complacent?"

"I don't know how long I can be complacent," Hazel chuckled, "but if I cannot be complacent, it won't be your turn to be complacent. It's said that Mr. King speaks highly of Miss Cynthia from the Bryant family. In either appearance or family background, you may be no match for her at all. Congratulations, you have found yourself such a strong opponent."

Madeline's face paled slightly.

It was indeed she who came up with the idea for tonight—throwing a party and taking pictures of Joshua dancing with other women to drive a wedge between Hazel and Joshua. After all, no matter how strong their relationship was, Hazel wouldn't be able to stand Joshua getting close to another woman.

But… Ted actually already has someone in mind? Madeline felt a little panicky in the heart.

In the beginning, Ted brought her to the manor because he wanted to play dead, so he couldn't let her leave to disclose the news. And then, because Joshua needed more people to take care of him, Ted asked her to take care of Joshua.

Even if she had so many advantages, she would still lose in the end and become the cat's-paw for other women? If so, she must be the biggest idiot in the world!

How could she reconcile herself? Madeline's eyes flashed with a touch of hostility.

Watching Madeline's face changing constantly, Hazel wore a quiet face. This woman had been making things difficult for her, so Hazel certainly wanted to give her something in return to make her suffer too.

"Hazel."

A steady voice sounded from behind. Hazel looked back just in time to see Joshua coming downstairs.

Madeline's face changed slightly. Why is Joshua here? Isn't he supposed to be at the ball? 

Although she had a thousand questions in her mind, she lowered her head for fear that Joshua would see what she was thinking.

Joshua didn't even give her a look. Instead, he calmly came to Hazel and put his hand around her waist. "Come on, let's go."

"Mmm." Hazel nodded.

Then Hazel and Joshua directly left without even looking at Madeline. Madeline could only clench her teeth as she watched their intimate back.

"What do you have to talk to a woman like Madeline about?" asked Joshua, frowning as he walked.

"There's nothing to talk about. I just told her something to make her unhappy." Hazel laughed and stuck out her tongue.

"That woman is always up to something. Given a chance, she would never give up doing something wicked." Joshua frowned slightly.

"Even if I don't make her unhappy today, she won't let me go," Hazel spoke with a calm expression. "In that case, of course, I want to get a kick out of it first. As for the rest, I'll play it by ear!"

His mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners. This was Hazel's style, as expected.

"By the way, is Miss Cynthia beautiful?" she asked, feeling jealous.

"Who is Cynthia?" Joshua opened his mouth calmly.

Hazel was in a daze. Then she felt that her jealousy was unreasonable. It wasn't Joshua who danced. How could he possibly care about Cynthia?

But she was relieved for a moment before asking with a little jealousy. "What about Miss Nina?"

"Are you jealous?" Joshua stood still, smiling.

"No." She looked away uncomfortably.

"She's a friend of Simon's, and she worked with us on purpose," Joshua explained in a low voice.

Hazel understood instantly. Simon used to be a playboy, so Ted wouldn't think twice about him taking a woman away. In this way, Simon and Joshua could change their masks and clothes smoothly.

"His friend? Female?" Hazel said incredulously. After all, when she and Simon first met, Simon was with a beautiful blonde, and even in Country Z, there were plenty of 'ex-girlfriends' who came to see him.
