Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"Related to me?" Hazel raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes..." Mandy explained, "In fact, Luna has been torturing me since I helped you, but she did not find a new assistant that time and was not very alert. I saw her give someone a USB drive, it contained pictures of you meeting Henty at the hotel that day,"

Mandy took a deep breath and quietly said, "She was going to try and destroy you with the photos. When the two of you went into the room simultaneously, it would be easy to misunderstand. I took the USB drive when she wasn't looking. Luna had always suspected me, but there was never any evidence, and I would not admit to it…"

Hazel understood suddenly. It turned out that Luna had been bullying Mandy because she really did steal something, and it was about her. No wonder Susan was so irritated.

"I left the USB in a safe at my home. I'll send you a text message with the address and a password." Mandy continued, "You can be sure that Susan didn't have time to make a backup copy of the photos, which are uniquely encrypted on the USB flash drive."

"Thank you." Hazel was grateful and guilty. "I'll send someone to get it."

Joshua frowned a little. Though these photos may bring troubles to Hazel, he could still solve them. Susan had been too proud for a long time. If Sunny hadn't come home all of a sudden and guarded Susan like an old hen, he wouldn't have let her go.

"No, I should thank you for helping me solve such a big problem," Mandy said heartily and then pulled out the needle.

"What are you doing?" Hazel looked at her in amazement. "You're still sick."

"Miss Crowe," Mandy was a little embarrassed. "I'm not rich enough to live in the hospital. I can recover in my house…"

"You stay," Hazel pushed her back to the bed. "Don't worry about the medical bills. I will pay them."

"Thank you very much, Miss Crowe." Mandy pushed her glasses up on the nose and rubbed her red eyes.

"Don't call me Miss Crowe." Hazel chuckled. "We're about the same age. Just call me Hazel!"

"Mm, Hazel," Mandy said gratefully.

Hazel talked to her for a while, she wanted Mandy to relax before she left with Joshua.

Joshua's car was parked downstairs in the hospital. She got in and found that Jaxson was already in the car.

He handed Joshua a stack of papers. "What you requested, Mr. President."

"Mm." Joshua reached out to take them and quietly leafed through.

"What's this?" Hazel moved closer out of curiosity. Joshua didn't try to keep it from her. He calmly handed them to her.

She only gave it a quick look but couldn't help being surprised. "Is, is the information about Mandy?"

"Yes." Joshua nodded simply. "Unfortunately, time is too tight, so we can only get these papers."

"Why are you investigating her?" Hazel felt weird. "Why do you care so much about her?"

"Jealous?" He smiled thinly.

"Who is jealous?" Hazel looked out the window awkwardly. Joshua cared so much about other girls that, of course, she couldn't be unconcerned.

"I investigated her just because she appeared right in front of you. It's too coincidental." Joshua looked at the data calmly, his eyes a little darker.

"She was being beaten, but it was a huge coincidence that you were the one who walked in and then saved her. So many incidents happened to force a sudden relationship between you and her. Are you still thinking about going to the hospital to visit her in the next few days?"

"... You actually doubt her?" Hazel was extremely speechless. "You've been thinking too much about it. Susan was bullying her, and she's sick. Besides, it was a complete coincidence that she met me! Do you think it's a problem?"

Joshua's eyes turned a little deeper, sometimes no problem was the biggest problem.

"I don't know until the investigation can prove more information," he said quietly.

"... That's good. I won't go to the hospital to see her, okay?" she said.

"Even if you don't go to the hospital, she'll come to you to pay you back," he said quietly.

"Are you going to keep me away from her?" She frowned with a vague feeling of displeasure in her heart. "Are you going to dig into the background of everyone who is near me? When I hire a new employee, will Joshua-Hazel Pictures have to do so, too?"

"If necessary, of course," he said quietly. As long as it was about Hazel's safety, he wouldn't be careless.

"You…" Hazel looked out the window unhappily, Joshua had never done anything that would make her uncomfortable, but since her life was at stake, he seemed to have been more on guard. She knew it was clearly for her, which made her nervous to refuse, but she did not like what was happening.

Taking a few deep breaths, she held back the discomfort in her heart before she looked at the information in Joshua's hand. "Is there anything wrong with her?"

His eyes were a little deep, and he handed her the data. "I can't find any problem at the moment."

She heaved a sigh of relief and said in surprise as she took the papers. "Mandy is such a good girl. It turns out that she borrowed 200,000 dollars to treat her grandmother! But it's a pity her grandmother didn't survive after the money had been spent…"

He frowned slightly as he looked at her, continuing to sigh. Hazel had been very cooperative with him, but she didn't have a lot of life experience, and he knew she loved to play and be free. He had been protecting her like a bird in a cage, but she intended to fly, which made her depressed and annoyed.

While he was thinking about it, he saw Hazel put away the papers. "Then should I see her or not if she wants to return the money to me?"

His heart softened, and he smiled, amused. It turned out that it was not just him who was giving in to Hazel, but Hazel was also trying hard to give in to him cooperatively, even if some of his demands were too much for her.

"Meet with her if you want to," he said quietly. "By the way, Hazel, I'd like to arrange a meeting for you and the directors as soon as possible. You have to be well prepared."

"Ah?!" Hazel was extremely nervous instantly. "How, how… how should I be well prepared? They must be dissatisfied with me and will try to give me a hard time, right?"
