Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Joshua could not leave now, and he would not be comforted if it was left to someone else.

Jaxson quickly agreed and left the ward.

After that, Joshua could not help but frown when he replayed the scene that occurred when Isaac and Hazel were there.

Had something terrible happened to Hazel? He grimaced in fear.

He took out his phone and called her, it went directly to voicemail as if she was avoiding him, but he was not discouraged and called again. Hazel answered the second time, catching Joshua off guard.

Before he could speak, he heard Hazel's cold voice on the other end of the line, "Stop calling, Joshua Denmark. I don't want to talk to you now."

"Hazel..."

The telephone was hung up before he had finished speaking.

He felt completely helpless. It looked like Hazel really had gotten him wrong, and worse still, she was very irritated and wouldn't give him a chance to explain it.

He had to find out as soon as possible to prove his innocence right now.

Isaac took Hazel back to Denmark Residence. She immediately started to put her clothes in her suitcase.

She didn't want to stay there any longer. Even if Joshua had explained it to her, she felt terribly depressed and sad being in the house.

She took her suitcase to the living room after she finished packing her things, but was stopped by two servants. "Miss Crowe, our master has ordered you not to leave for the next two days for your safety."

Hazel was stunned, but then her heart was filled with uncontrollable anger. "What does he mean? Is he going to imprison me?!"

"Our master is only concerned about your safety," said the servant, a little panic-stricken, "Please don't make things difficult for us…"

Joshua called expressly to ask them to do everything they could to keep Hazel stay, but what could they do?

Hazel found it ironic. Why didn't Joshua care about her safety when she was in danger? Did he still want to imprison her by his side when he was with another woman?

How could he be such an asshole?!

She went back to her bedroom in a huff and sat miserably on the bed, feeling very sad.

Now that Vanessa was pregnant with his child and he wanted to be responsible for Vanessa, why did he still want her here?

But that made no sense at all, was Joshua trying to be with both of them at the same time? No, he wasn't that kind of person.

Her life with him was not a lie, she knew better than anyone how he treated her and his personality.

Hazel rubbed her head, it was aching, and she couldn't continue to think. She was exhausted and just wanted to take a shower before having a good sleep.

Taking off the charm Joshua gave her, Hazel paused suddenly as she was going to put it on the table. The charm's shell had been punctured, and there seemed to be something in it.

She hesitated for a bit before opening it.

There was a small box, but she couldn't figure out what it was made of. It seemed to be some strong metal, no wonder it protected her from the dagger.

There was a groove on the top of the box, left by the impact of the dagger. Hazel was about to put it down when she found the box looked a bit unusual and had a small crack in the middle.

Could it be opened?

She was a bit curious. Could Joshua have put something in it?

She opened the small box in amazement, which contained folded papers.

She was instantly stunned when she began reading. Her grip on the box loosened, and it fell to the ground, but she didn't notice it at all.

She looked as if she was completely frozen, the shock of the document left her unable to move.

It was a property transfer agreement signed by Joshua.

In the agreement, Joshua transferred all his savings, shares, movable property, and real estate to her for free. As long as she signed it, everything Joshua owned would be hers.

Hazel was completely dumbstruck. She could not remember ever experiencing such a bizarre thing. Her legs were fragile when she thought she had had such a big fortune hanging around her neck.

She suddenly held out her hand to give her arm a sharp twist.

The pain in her arm made her gasp. Is it a dream?

She lowered her head again, but the transfer agreement remained unchanged.

However, she didn't feel happy or excited in the least, even though she suddenly had such a fortune. She felt scared and nervous instead.

Why did Joshua give her all that he had? That made no sense.

Even if he did plan to marry her, there was no need for him to do that.

It wasn't a joke because even if he wanted to test if she was a greedy woman, why would he hide the document where she couldn't find it?

If she hadn't accidentally opened the charm, she wouldn't have found the transfer agreement at all.

Her head was so filled with thoughts and questions she felt she couldn't breathe, she quickly opened the door and headed to the study. She thought maybe she could find something that could help her to understand.

It was not her first time in the study, but before she was there just to get a book and leave, she never snooped around. Hazel opened a drawer and frantically searched through the files in it. Although she didn't have much hope, she didn't know what else to do.

She silently screamed, "NO! NO! There is nothing!"

There were some documents, but they were all related to Joshua's work, and they were not that important.

Was there really no clue?

Suddenly, she reached down to pull the lowest drawer, but she couldn't open it. The drawer was locked, her eyes began to search the room and then she decided to pick up the chair, she banged it hard against the lock.

After the lock opened, she promptly opened the drawer. There was a thick photo album inside.

It felt ironic, the last thing she liked was prying into other people's privacy. The moral struggle made her want to close the drawer, but she took out the album anyway.

Opening the heavy photo album, she turned pale. The photos in the album were all of a baby, and there was an obvious beautiful five-petal plum blossom birthmark on her chest.

The photo album fell to the floor as Hazel's face went white as a sheet.

She also had a birthmark of a five-petal plum blossom on her chest, which was exactly the same as the baby girl in the photo.

What was going on?
