Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Vanessa was so irritated she wanted to reach across the table and throttle Hazel. She was giddy with anger, Hazel was not thinking the way Vanessa had expected.

She had thought Hazel wasn't out of college yet and was a stupid woman who only knew about love. However, she was more complicated than that.

What she had planned to say was all messed up by Hazel, and she was so angry that she didn't know how to continue. But thankfully, Hazel did remind her about the check she prepared.

Vanessa put her hand on her handbag and was about to take out the check when Hazel said to her as if she was consulted, "But if it's a check, it's at least a seven-figure sum, right? Joshua is very generous, and his girlfriend's position is worth such an amount. If it's less than eight-figure, it's a bit embarrassing and not very attractive."

Vanessa's fingers froze.

The Young family had just come through the crisis, and she didn't have that much money. This check for Hazel was only a few hundred thousand dollars.

Hazel's words suddenly made her feel like her check was exceptionally unpresentable, even if she did take it out, very likely Hazel would just laugh in her face.

"You're too greedy!" Vanessa sneered. "It looks like you're staying with Joshua for his money!"

"Don't say those kinds of meaningless words," Hazel spoke calmly. "If I am not after his money, of course, I wouldn't leave him just because you misread me. If I was really after his money, do you think I might break up with him just because you said something?"

Vanessa choked back her words once again. She was completely bewildered.

From the very beginning, the conversation had been entirely in Hazel's hands. No matter what she said, Hazel could make her choke back her words and be completely unable to continue.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Hazel asked.

She promised to come to see Vanessa, to make her give up on her ideas. She was a little slow, but she knew exactly what Vanessa was up to. Knowing Vanessa's purpose, Hazel would naturally be prepared before meeting with her. After all, she had a good memory after being cheated by Vanessa once.

Vanessa clenched her fingers in anger, her nails dug into her palms. Suddenly, she sneered coldly, "Hazel, I've really underestimated you!"

Hazel didn't know whether this was a compliment or an insult, so she said helplessly, "I'm flattered…"

"You are a very clever woman," Vanessa said in a low voice after taking a deep breath. "In that case, let me cut the chase. I'm sure you know what to choose."

Hazel was surprised. Did Vanessa still have other tricks?

"The true heir of the Denmark family is not Joshua, but the little daughter of the Denmark family!" Vanessa said in a deep voice.

Hazel was a little surprised. Joshua actually had a younger sister. She really didn't know that.

"It's just that the daughter of the Denmark family was kidnapped not long after she was born. The Denmark family searched for her for many years, but she wasn't found even after her parents died. As long as she is found, everything in Denmark Group will be hers, and Joshua will get nothing!"

Vanessa sneered as she stared at her. "But the Denmark daughter has been found by our family, but whether she will be discovered depends on your choice!"

Hazel mused. "You mean, if I don't leave Joshua, you'll let everyone know about his younger sister and leave Joshua with nothing?"

"It takes no effort to speak to a wise woman." Vanessa whispered, "Hazel, you can rest assured that if you leave Joshua, I'll give you a lot of money! If you won't leave… Ha ha, I think you don't need me to tell you how you should choose?"

Hazel furrowed her eyebrows as if she was thinking.

Vanessa did not urge her, but there was more contempt in her heart. It turned out Hazel was just a greedy woman.

"But I don't believe you." Hazel looked up at her.

"Do you think I would lie to you about it?!" Vanessa was angry. "Hazel Crowe! When Joshua really loses everything, you won't get a dime from me!"

"Even if you say so," Hazel looked at her calmly, "I'm still wondering, isn't Joshua Denmark also the Denmark family's son? Why do you say that Joshua will have nothing if the Denmark family's missing daughter is found? He should also have the right of succession, shouldn't he?"

"Didn't he tell you?" Vanessa looked at her in surprise. The next moment, her face was full of a triumphant smile. "If you want to know the reason, you can ask Joshua."

Hazel raised her eyebrows slightly. It looked as if this incident involved the Denmark family's secret.

Since Joshua wasn't willing to tell her, there must be a reason. Everyone had their own secrets, and she wasn't a person who liked to pry into another person's privacy.

"It seems you're as old as the missing girl…" Vanessa sneered as if she had thought of something, "I think Joshua wants to be with you, perhaps seeing you as a substitute for his sister, maybe to ease his guilt."

Hazel smiled. "Vanessa, do you think I would believe such a simple provocation?"

Vanessa was ashamed and angry.

"Besides, even if it's true," Hazel said seriously, "I don't think you actually found the Denmark family's missing daughter."

Vanessa's heart sank, she didn't expect that Hazel would guess the truth at once.

Garry had been secretly searching for the missing girl, but he had failed in finding her. Since he was no longer a director of Denmark Group, his family had no extra money to continue the operation.

She just wanted to deceive Hazel with this information, but she cannot find Vanessa was lying.

Vanessa threatened her coldly. "So, you've decided to have a life-or-death struggle with us? Hazel, you're smart. Think it over!"

Hazel was silent. Vanessa's words were half true, and she didn't believe them. It was the Denmark family that she cared about.

"I've made up my mind," she said suddenly.

"You're really sensible." Vanessa sneered. "When are you going to leave, Joshua?"

"No," Hazel shook her head. "I decided to stay with him."

"Hazel Crowe, you..." Vanessa stood up from her chair in a rage. Hazel actually dared to call her bluff.

"Since you said you found the little girl, isn't it natural that Denmark Group is returned to her, considering it does belong to her," Hazel said coolly.

"You, you…" Vanessa's face turned purple with rage. She had no idea what to say.
