Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"Joshua, since you now know of Mandy's existence, I can only get justice for her!" Fred said righteously, "I will gather the board of directors and announce Mandy's identity to them! We will see you later!"

Fred was getting ready to leave with Mandy.

"Are you going to leave like this?" Joshua looked at him coldly. Mandy repeatedly set Hazel up; he was not going just to let her walk away.

"Hey, what do you want?!" Fred snorted. He seemed determined to confront Joshua to the end.

"Old man," James said coldly, "She had a bunch of punks try to destroy Hazel, and she even tried to drug Hazel and me! You think we would let her go so easily?"

"Do you have evidence?" Fred said arrogantly.

James's face became ugly, and according to Mandy's careful personality, he was afraid that it was difficult to find any direct evidence related to her. But if they let her go, it would be a way too convenient for her.

"Joshua, make your bodyguards move out of the way!" Fred said more arrogantly.

Fred knew Joshua's temper very well. Joshua would not make a rash move without evidence, and he wouldn't embarrass a woman. That's why he suggested that Mandy should seduce him so boldly, and even if she failed, he could show up and come to the rescue.

"You really are shameless!" James said, "Do you take it for granted that Joshua won't do anything to you? But your plan is not going to work anyway. If he doesn't hold you accountable, I will!"

Before anyone could say anything, James slapped Mandy across the face.

"This slap is for Hazel." James looked terrible. "You vicious bitch! Hazel saved you, and you still wanted to harm her!"

"You, you..." Mandy covered her cheeks and stared at him incredulously.

"How can you hit a woman?!" Fred looked at James, flustered. James was too fast, and he couldn't react at all, there was no way to stop it.

"Who told you that I wouldn't beat a woman?" James sneered. Suddenly, he threw a heavy punch at Fred's lower abdomen. "This punch is for you! You dare to say that I am Joshua's bodyguard again, I will beat the hell out of you! Now get lost!"

Fred's face went blue, he realized why James was annoyed. Joshua looked like he couldn't control James at all, and he didn't say anything.

Looking like a wandering dog, Fred picked Mandy up and quickly fled. Seeing the two of them running out of the hotel room, James was even more unhappy.

"Joshua, you actually let them go?"

Joshua faintly snorted, not saying anything.

Fred held Mandy and rushed to the elevator. They were frightened by James and wanted to leave without any more conflict.

The elevator seemed to be taking forever, they finally let out a sigh when the door started to open. They were just about to walk in, but their expressions immediately changed when a group of reporters almost trampled them.

There was the fury of questions and flashing cameras bombarding Mandy and Fred.

Mandy's face turned white. She only had Fred's coat covering her body. She had been busy fleeing and had no time to put her clothes on. If she was photographed like that, people would definitely misunderstand their relationship.

She swiftly tightened the coat around her body and protected her face.

"No pictures! No pictures!" Fred snarled, waving his hand to block his face. But the reports kept asking questions.

"Director Cohen, you have always been called the face of Denmark Family. But this time, you are coming in and out of the hotel with a woman who is about the same age as your daughter. What is your relationship?"

"Director Cohen, you have always claimed to have a good relationship with your wife. Does she know you came here with this woman?"

"It looks like this girl has been slapped on her face. Is your wife nearby?"

These speculations were undoubtedly saying he was having an affair with Mandy. If he let these reports spread, it would be really bad for both of them.

"What are you talking about?!" Fred yelled, "We are not in that kind of relationship! She is a daughter of L..."

"I am not. I am not!" Before Fred finished, Mandy immediately interrupted him.

Fred sobered up. If he revealed Mandy's identity at this time, then when they held the board meeting, other directors might question his purpose with the reports.

Almost in an instant, he understood why there were so many reports and why they were asking really interesting questions, it was as if they had rehearsed them. It had to have been Joshua, only he could pull off something like that to totally humiliate him.

He never looked down on Joshua, but when he really faced Joshua in person, Fred still felt that his age and experience couldn't help him much.

"I warn you, if you dare to report anything, just wait for the lawyer's letter!"

Fred did not speak anymore. He reached out to help block Mandy's face and then pushed past a reporter to go down the stairs.

"Director Cohen, have you admitted it with silence?"

"Director Cohen, you threaten us because you care so much about this woman?"

The reporters were not going to give up, they began to chase after Fred and Mandy. The few bodyguards that Fred had with him were outnumbered by the reporters, so there was no stopping them.

Joshua, Hazel, and James walked out of the room and watched the noisy scene.

James still looked indifferent. He said coldly to Joshua, "Sure enough, this is you."

"You told those reporters to come over?" Hazel looked at Joshua in confusion.

"Yeah," Joshua said faintly, "Let's go home now."

"Oh..." Hazel didn't say much.

The three of them quietly waited for the elevator. When they got in, Hazel could hold back any longer and ask, "You two, did you know Mandy's plot from the beginning, so you joined forces with each other?"

"How could I join him?" James didn't even look at Joshua. He said, dissatisfied, "I just wanted to protect you."

"I did know that Mandy was a problem." Joshua said faintly, "I also found that she went to South City Bar several times to arrange the workforce. I guessed she was targeting you. However, if I appeared, she would probably continue to lurk beside you. So, I found James and let him steal the show."
