Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Many students noticed Hazel\'s confidence, so they took out their phones and secretly searched. Of course, soon, they found the news that Joshua and Hazel were interviewed together.

"What news?" Karla froze. The news had just been released by the media, and of course, she hadn\'t seen it.

Besides, Karla had been speculating about Hazel\'s pregnancy in the worst way. She had already decided that Hazel was a bad woman who tricked Joshua out of money, killed people, and was also dissolute. Hence, when she heard this sentence, instead of searching and reading the news on her phone, Karla thought that Hazel was deliberately changing the topic.

"Hazel, who doesn\'t know you are rich, powerful, and exceptionally capable now." Karla sneered. "Do you think you can fool the public by buying a few small reporters off to write whitewashing articles for you? Ask your husband to come here if you are that capable. As long as you can make him come here, I\'ll apologize!"

With that, Karla thought she had guessed Hazel\'s scheme correctly, and she thought her last words were so perfect that Hazel couldn\'t even retort. Therefore, she wore a triumphant face now.

Several classmates, who had read the news and known Joshua had appeared, looked at Karla as if she was an idiot. Yet, Karla actually still had the nerve to talk like this!

Derek was still unwilling to give up. Seeing that Karla was getting more and more arrogant, he looked cold and pretended to defend Hazel. "Karla, don\'t go too far! Everyone knows Joshua is missing. How can you ask Hazel to get him to show up? You can hurt me. Don\'t give Hazel a hard time!"

The other classmates looked at Derek, feeling it strange. Was he really helping Hazel? Why did they all feel…Derek was doing Hazel a disservice?

In addition, Derek actually wanted to be with Hazel? The other classmates were speechless. They didn\'t look down on Derek. However, Derek had already had a lot of trouble with Hazel when he was in college. How could he still pester Hazel now? How thick-skinned he was! His evil intentions were too obvious now! Did he consider everyone else a fool?

Some classmates couldn\'t help speaking.

"You should stop speaking now." Finally, a classmate persuaded, "Derek, Karla, after all, this reunion is held by our monitor, you should stop making trouble now…."

"Yeah, yeah…" A few classmates echoed.

Hearing this, Karla got angry. "Derek, do you think she\'ll appreciate it even if you\'re so eager to help Hazel? Look, there are so many people trying to curry favor with her!"

Those classmates\' faces suddenly darkened. Hazel was in a really good mood today. Karla had been slandering Hazel, but Hazel had never said a single harsh word. That was why they tried to persuade Karla.

However, Karla swore at them instead of thanking them for their kindness. At the thought of this, they disliked Karla very much.

Karla didn\'t know that her words had offended everyone. She said complacently, "Hazel, if you can prove that Joshua is still alive, I\'ll not only apologize, but you can punish me as you like!"

"Punish? Can we punish you in any way?" Ariel was interested instantly and then gave out a sneer, "Then can you slap yourself on the face a hundred times and yell ten times \'Karla\'s baby is a bastard\'?"

Of course, Ariel knew Joshua was alive, and that was why Hazel, who was very happy, wasn\'t interested in dealing with such an unimportant person. Of course, Hazel didn\'t care, but Ariel couldn\'t stand seeing Karla\'s behavior. Hence, she\'d love to help Hazel teach Karla a lesson.

"Ariel, it\'s none of your business?!" Karla was furious.

"What, are you scared?" Ariel said on purpose.

"Who said I\'m scared? So I\'m not the one who has done something wrong?" Karla growled at Ariel angrily. She gave Hazel a cold look. "But can you keep your word? Do you think you can represent Hazel?"

"I think it\'s a hot idea, but slapping yourself a hundred times is too demanding. Fifty is enough." Hazel\'s mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners. She did not want to bother with Karla, but since Karla was so dying to slap her face herself, then, of course, Hazel would only help her achieve her \'dream.\'

"Okay, everyone present will be the witnesses!" Ariel said hurriedly, afraid Karla would back out.

Karla froze. She didn\'t expect that Ariel would be more worried than she was. But Karla had already thought that she herself would win, so instead of being afraid, she said very proudly, "Good, show me how Hazel proves her innocence today!"

"Forget it, Hazel. Didn\'t you say you had something else to tell me? Let\'s go first." Derek also thought that Hazel couldn\'t prove it, so at this point, he planned to bail her out. But while he helped Hazel out, he tried to get people to misunderstand his relationship with her.

"Derek, are you still daydreaming?" Ariel was speechless with anger. She disliked Derek very much and scolded him directly. "Did Hazel want to talk to you? Stop telling lies!"

Derek suppressed his anger. He looked at Hazel, pretending to be sensible. But, when he made Hazel love and obey him, he would definitely make Ariel have a tough time!

Hazel gave Derek a cool look, and her eyes flashed with sarcasm. "Mr. Sanchez, Ariel is right. You should stop daydreaming."

"You...!" Derek was furious. Seeing Hazel didn\'t give him face at all, he realized that he didn\'t have a chance to be with her now. Then he grunted coldly with reluctance, "Fine! Show me how you will handle it!"

Karla was even happier when they fell out, and she couldn\'t help urging. "Come on, Hazel Crowe. How long do you want us to wait?"

"You don\'t have to wait," Hazel replied flatly. "He\'s here."

With that, the door of the private room was pushed open.

Karla\'s face paled. Is Joshua really here? That\'s impossible!

She panicked and looked at the door. Then she saw the monitor come in.

"Hazel Crowe, is it he who you want us to see?" Karla laughed even more complacently.
