Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1287 - 575: Can I Talk Something Personal?



The moment they saw him, the reporters, like the directors of Denmark Group, were silent. There was an eerie silence.

Over the past few months, a number of reporters had learned about the turmoil at Denmark Group and Joshua\'s death from the directors. It was just a pity that Hazel kept the news from revealing.

Today, they finally received a message and perceived a hint of an unusual smell. They had thought Denmark Group\'s directors wanted to fall out with Hazel, so they came, trying to make big news.

But... they actually saw Joshua Denmark?!

When a dead man suddenly appeared in front of them, even the well-informed reporters were all speechless with shock.

Joshua\'s indifferent eyes scanned all the people who felt cold in the heart.

"In the past few months of my business trip to Country M, there have been many absurd rumors. I\'m sure you\'ve heard about it," he spoke quietly, "but I am also sure you all know that rumors are just rumors. Since everyone is here, I\'ll just say something."

The reporters immediately pointed their cameras at him. The directors were very guilty and upset. If Joshua said something to the press on this occasion, they would have a much harder time in the future!

"Denmark Group is doing well," Joshua looked down at Hazel in his arms, his eyes full of tenderness and indulgence. "We, a husband and a wife, are deeply in love with each other. No one can destroy our relationship casually."

The few simple sentences explained everything that should be explained.

These words were said to those who thought that Denmark Group was in turmoil and Hazel\'s position was in jeopardy. Those directors wanted to plot against Hazel? No way!

Moreover… Joshua had admitted that he and Hazel were married!

It was hard to keep Hazel\'s pregnancy from the public. Although she had always insisted that she had been married to Joshua and that the baby belonged to him, there had always been unpleasant speculation.

Hazel didn\'t care about these rumors, but Joshua remembered them in his heart. He wouldn\'t allow anyone to criticize Hazel. Now, everyone present heard Joshua\'s testimony and saw his love for Hazel. Who dared talk nonsense?

Joshua then asked the staff to take the reporters and the directors away while he took Hazel to a breakroom. They planned the reunion after a short rest.

"Why did these reporters come all of a sudden?" There was a bright light in her clear eyes. "It isn\'t a coincidence that they came here, is it?"

"I think," Joshua said with a calm expression, "since so many reporters came here, maybe some restless directors called them."

"But when the directors saw you, they shouldn\'t let these reporters come anymore, should they?" she asked sharply.

She had spent so much time fighting with the directors that she knew what they thought. Even if they had called the reporters, the directors would have tried to stop them from coming after meeting Joshua.

"But reporters with a keen sense wouldn\'t just give up like that, would they?" Joshua said calmly.

Hazel\'s lips twitched. Joshua certainly had a point, but the fact that the reporters were able to walk right into the building of Denmark Group, come to the meeting room, and happen to meet the directors showed that it couldn\'t be that simple!

Joshua must have secretly ordered his men to get the reporters here. But if Joshua didn\'t want to admit it, Hazel wasn\'t going to question him closely.

"Whatever you say," she said, disappointed. It was clear that he had said he wouldn\'t keep anything from her.

Joshua had a gleam in his eye. Suddenly he held out his arms and took her gently in his arms.

"Joshua?" She looked at him with astonishment.

Joshua sighed quietly. "Hazel, I\'m sorry that I\'ve left all this to you, and you had to handle it alone."

He couldn\'t intuitively feel until now how hard it was for Hazel, who was pregnant, to face the directors\' objection, the media\'s criticism, and hidden dangers all by herself.

Thinking about Hazel\'s difficult situation during this period of time, he began to hate himself. If he wasn\'t useless and hadn\'t left her, how could she encounter these troubles?

Feeling his guilt, Hazel froze. Was the reason why Joshua allowed the reporters to come? Maybe he just wanted to tell everyone who wanted to bully her not to hurt her as long as he was around!

Hazel was relieved. Maybe Joshua didn\'t remember what had happened in the past, but he still felt the same way about her.

"Fine, fine," she said quietly, "I don\'t blame you. Besides..."

She lifted her little face, her bright eyes full of admiration. Then she gave him a kiss on the cheek as a reward. "You did well today! I\'m sure no director can tell you to lose your memory!"

His heart was warm when he saw the pride on her face. He whispered, gently stroking her hair. "You\'re a good teacher."

Hazel had already briefed him on Denmark Group before they came to the meeting so that when he faced the directors, he could behave naturally, and none found anything unusual.

"No, it\'s because you\'re brilliant and capable!" Hazel looked up at the clock on the wall and smiled. "Let\'s stop complimenting each other. It\'s time to go to the reunion."

"Mmm." He nodded in agreement.

The couple took the elevator to the floor where the reunion was.

The reunion was organized by Hazel\'s class monitor. The monitor had a good family background and got along with people quite well.

Hazel and Joshua had just approached the door of the box when the monitor came out of it.

"Hazel, you\'re here?" The monitor greeted her. His eyes suddenly lit up as they fell on Joshua. "Master, Master Denmark?"

Joshua was somewhat surprised to be recognized. Either way, the other party was Hazel\'s classmate, so Joshua gave him a very polite nod.

"That... Can you spare me a few minutes?" The monitor rubbed his hands nervously. "Can I talk to you about something personal?"
