Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

She wore an indifferent expression. She didn't think Karla would help her.

Sure enough, Karla continued, "But then... I heard that the President of the Denmark Group suddenly disappeared. No one knows where he has gone. It's said that he's been gone for more than half a year. Oh, by the way, Hazel, why does it look like your baby is five months old?"

Hazel's eyes went cool. It had to be said that Karla was really capable now.

Karla said just a few words, but she kept throwing mud at Hazel.

Joshua was so nice to her but hardly had he handed over Denmark Group to Hazel when he disappeared. Joshua disappeared for more than six months, but she was only five months pregnant.

Clearly, Karla meant that Hazel became Joshua's lover for money, that she had cheated him out of his money and then killed him, and that she was enjoying all the benefits that Denmark Group brought with a child whose father was unknown.

Although almost all the people in the private room were Hazel's classmates, they didn't know much about each other because they didn't live or work together after graduation. On hearing Karla's words, many classmates could not help thinking in this way.

Seeing Ariel get angry again, Hazel stopped her again. Hazel wouldn't be soft on the kind of woman, but it was not worth her anger.

"Oh, my," Karla suddenly smiled and continued, "Don't get me wrong, Hazel. I'm just a bit gossipy. After all, we know each other. However, I heard that you were with the President of Denmark Group, so I couldn't help thinking that if I could receive your wedding invitation, it would be a great honor! But who knew I actually didn't have such a chance?"

Everyone's face changed slightly.

Karla's words meant the same thing: Hazel is not married. Whoever the baby's father was, she had a baby before she got married. If word got out, it wouldn't sound good.

"You do know a lot," Hazel satirized, looking at her. "but you're right. You'll never have the chance to attend my wedding."

"You...!" Karla's face was livid. She was so angry that she almost swore at Hazel. She didn't understand. Why was Hazel so calm?

Karla waited for Hazel to fight back, and then she would expose Hazel's disguise in front of everyone so they could disdain and despise her. But now, it seemed all Karla's attacks hit only air.

Ariel couldn't help laughing. "Hazel, if you invite someone like that to your wedding, I'll think you're crazy."

"You… mustn't go too far!" Karla was getting irritated. "Hazel, you know clearly what you did! Do you insist on making it clear?"

"Yes," Hazel spoke flatly.

"Enough, enough, stop quarreling." Derek began to meddle again. "Hazel, don't give her a hard time. After all, she is the monitor's guest."

Seeing Derek take Karla's side and be partial to her, Ariel said crossly, "Derek, what the fuck is wrong with you? She's a guest of the monitor. Isn't Hazel also a guest of his? Do we all have to give in to Karla, the woman who is making trouble without reason? She doesn't know anything and just talks nonsense."

Derek couldn't reply. Karla was so infuriated by Ariel that she couldn't suppress her anger anymore. "Am I wrong? Ariel, if you protect such a merciless woman like Hazel, aren't you afraid she's going to set you up in the future? Besides, who knows whose bastard she's pregnant with?!"

"You...!" Ariel was furious. "Karla, only a woman like you, will be pregnant with a bastard! Do you really think nobody knows what you did? You secretly drugged Ivan to keep him from breaking up with you and then said you were pregnant with his baby and forced him to marry you.

"If it were not for the carefulness of Ivan, who kept the evidence that you didn't have sex, you would likely have planned to pester him for whole life with some bastard whose father was unknown."

"You, you… nonsense!" Karla turned pale. She had no idea that Ariel would know about the incident with her and Ivan! Now Karla was like being stripped completely and thrown in the crowd, humiliated and disgraced!

The other people looked at her with surprise and contempt. After all, if Ariel was right, then Karla did something really bad. They would have to stay away from her in the future.

"You know I'm not talking nonsense!" Ariel sneered, "Should I call Ivan to come to confront you face-to-face?"

In an instant, Karla panicked and couldn't resist shouting. "Don't try to change the subject!"

At this point, Hazel looked at Karla coldly. "I'm pregnant with my husband's baby, of course."

"Do you think people will believe your lies?" Karla was not going to pretend now that they had totally fallen out. She gave out a sneer. "Hazel, you're not married. How could you possibly have a husband?"

"My husband is Joshua Denmark, the President of Denmark Group," Hazel explained with rare patience. Of course, she didn't say that to Karla but to her own classmates.

"Oh, how could anyone believe such a bad lie?" Karla continued, "He's not here now, so you can say what you want. You're pregnant, and the baby's father is unknown, do you really think other men will respect you?"

"I believe Hazel," Derek said suddenly. He looked at Hazel with an affectionate look. "Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with Hazel right now. She is innocent."

There was a hidden expectation in his heart. If he helped Hazel at present, would Hazel like him? In order to get everything that she had, even if she has ten children, he had to treat her well seemingly.

Karla didn't make Hazel sick, but Derek did. How hypocritical he looked!

"Derek, stop daydreaming!" Karla looked at him sarcastically. "Do you think Hazel will like you?"

Derek stared at Karla angrily.

"If you care so much about me, how can you not know who my husband is? Or haven't you read today's news?" Ignoring Derek, Hazel looked at Karla nonchalantly.
