Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Everyone in the room looked at Sunny. At this point, her opinion undoubtedly played a critical role.

Sunny hesitated, she was concerned about Joshua and how the situation favoring Mandy would affect him. She could see that the directors were all on Mandy's side and complained about Joshua.

Mandy and Fred had the lucky necklace as evidence, and as long as Sunny confirmed that it was authentic, Mandy would have to be accepted as Denmark's daughter. Joshua would have no way to deny it, regardless of how much he protested.

The situation seemed all too perfect, it made Sunny feel uneasy. After all, Joshua, and even though she did not see him often, it was always clear to her that he was even harder to deal with than his mentor and father, Marcus Denmark.

After taking a deep breath, Sunny knew there was no turning back and quietly said, "Indeed, I have seen the lucky necklace. It is authentic."

Everyone was stunned, but not everyone accepted it, some still questioned, "It would be easy to forget such a necklace, right? How can we judge its authenticity?"

Sunny took out a piece of paper that she had for a long time. She explained, "This is a drawing of the necklace, personally designed by my sister Cate. I used this design to make a necklace. It has an empty space that a small switch can open, there is a pink diamond necklace inside the empty chamber of this necklace. Marcus and Cate designed this and had it made for their daughter, the pink diamond necklace is unique, it is the only one in the world."

As if it was a cue from Sunny, Fred opened the lucky necklace's chamber and took out a beautiful pink diamond necklace from inside.

Everyone around the room started to whisper, all believing that the necklace was real. They all knew that even if the lucky necklace could be forged, the valuable pink diamond necklace couldn't.

Hazel quietly looked around the room and lowered her head. She realized that nobody seemed to care about her any longer, everyone ignored her existence.

Fred was feeling rejoiced but did not want to gloat in front of the directors, so with a dignified look, he said, "Joshua, this evidence is proof that Mandy is the daughter of the Denmark family. She was kidnapped by enemies when she was a child, she has suffered so much, and now she can finally be recognized by the Denmark family. Your foster parents left everything to you, without them, you wouldn't be here today. Don't you think you should repay them and return their belongings to their daughter?"

"Yes, that's right..." The crowd agreed, and they all looked at Joshua, curious about how he would reply.

"Director Cohen wants me to hand over the Denmark Group to the daughter of Denmark Family?" Joshua asked and smiled.

"Of course!" Fred sighed. "Everything that belonged to the Denmark family should belong to Mandy. You have had control of it for so many years. You need to think of your foster parents, Marcus and Cate. How did they treat you? You have been treating their daughter so harshly. Where is your conscience?"

Fred stood on the high ground of morality as he publicly criticized Joshua. Even those who had agreed that Joshua was the biggest contributor to Denmark Group thought he should have treated Mandy better.

"President, Denmark Group also belongs to Mandy. You should give her her share…."

"You may have your lover, but you can't suppress the daughter of Denmark Family for your foster parents' sake..."

Everyone blamed Hazel and urged Joshua to return Denmark Group to Mandy.

Hazel could do nothing about the situation. Even though she had confidence in Joshua, she couldn't think of anything he could say or do to change the situation.

Joshua raised his hand and made a gesture to quiet everyone, they all stopped talking and turned to look at him.

"I understand what Director Cohen is saying." Joshua said faintly, "Please don't worry, I have already given everything involving Denmark Group to the daughter of Denmark Family."

Hazel was stunned. She could even imagine what kind of disastrous hurricane was going to follow Joshua's speech. He didn't have time to say anything further before the crowd started yelling.

"What?!"

"When did that happen?"

His words were like a bomb going off in the conference room. All of the directors were talking and looking around in shock.

The smiles that Mandy and Fred had on their faces had turned to looks of utter confusion.

Had Joshua given Denmark Group to Mandy? Fred really never thought that it would be so easy. However, why didn't understand why he hadn't heard about it sooner.

Sunny frowned, she was not as foolish as Fred, she knew something was going on.

"It turns out that we misunderstood Joshua." Sunny smiled and asked, "But I am a little surprised. When did you do it? None of us seemed to have heard anything about it."

The crowd gradually calmed down.

"Impossible!" Fred said with an ugly face, "If you really have given Denmark Group to Mandy, where is the file? Why have you never asked Mandy to sign any documents?"

Everyone looked at Joshua again, they all knew Joshua, and he was a man of his word. But was it possible that he was lying?

Joshua lightly clapped his hands. On the screen behind him, a scanned copy of a document appeared. The document stated that he was giving Denmark Group to the daughter of the Denmark family, but the signature on the document was Hazel's, not Mandy's.

Feeling the burning gaze from everyone, Hazel looked down helplessly. Suddenly, Joshua reached over and held her small hand in the palm of his hand. She could feel the warmth from him, and she suddenly felt at peace.

"Joshua, you, you are a swindler!" Fred was infuriated. He stood up, his face was red with rage, "Even after the evidence, you still won't acknowledge Mandy's identity!"

"It's just a lucky necklace. How can we confirm that Mandy is the daughter of Denmark Family with that thing?" Joshua sneered with a bit of sarcasm.

"That necklace is real! Even Sunny recognizes it. How could you define it?" Fred roared.

"I didn't say it was a fake. However, the person who has it may be fake." Joshua said, looking at Fred, "I was just curious. The kidnappers wanted to take the life of Marcus and Cate's daughter, right? Why would they help her to keep the necklace safe, though? Or, did they just take the necklace so that they could use their own daughter to replace the missing daughter of the Denmark family?"
