Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1053 - 341: You Suspect Him?

"I thought you would've kept evading this." James Howard sighed.

"I never evaded." Hazel said without fear, "I want to exchange information with you. I can honestly tell you that until now, I held on to my opinion."

"Oh, I hope you can always stick to it." James snorted, "I will send the information to your mailbox."

He quickly sent the information on Marcus Denmark's car accident.

Hazel looked seriously. James's investigation was indeed meticulous, and he also marked a lot of doubts. However, these doubts could only prove that Marcus's car accident was likely to have been plotted by someone but absolutely could not prove that this was related to Joshua.

She began to feel even more helpless. James's misunderstanding of Joshua was so deep that she had nothing to say.

However, she did not expect that James's action would be so fast. He contacted her the next day.

"You said you found the suspect who killed Laura Young?" Hazel asked in surprise.

"Well, it's someone you would never think of." James's voice was a bit sarcastic.

"Who is it?" Hazel's heart jumped very hard. She suddenly felt that his answer would upset her.

"Joshua."

"Impossible!"

Hazel interrupted him almost instantly. How could Laura's death be related to Joshua?

"Now all the evidence points to Joshua," James said coldly.

"So, you suspect him?" Hazel frowned, "James, your prejudice against Joshua is extremely deep."

"I hope it is him," James snorted, "But I know, he is definitely not the killer."

Hazel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Because his actions are not so bad." He went on to say, "You can rest assured that there is no strong evidence to accuse him. He can deal with it."

Hazel asked, "Do you know who is framing him?"

"Let's meet sometime," James said, and he paused and then continued,

"Some things are better to be discussed face to face."

"Oh, good." With some doubts, Hazel still promised him.

Hazel hung up after arranging the time and place to meet with James, almost immediately Mandy Wilson called her.

"Hazel, have you seen the news online?" Mandy said anxiously.

"What's wrong?" Hazel asked, "I've been busy writing my graduation paper."

"It's still about Laura. Her murder suddenly made headlines on major websites, and it caused a lot of panics." Mandy said, "The public should've been waiting for the results of the investigation, but someone said that her death was because she had offended Denmark Family..."

Hazel's eyes went darker, and it turned out to be even more creepy.

Laura suddenly died, and the evidence related to her murder all pointed to Joshua. The police would usually wait until the investigation results come out before releasing the name of a suspect. But now, some people wanted to dominate public opinion and put the blame on Joshua.

Obviously, someone was targeting Joshua and wanted to frame him.

"Those are deliberate rumors." Hazel said firmly, "Joshua would never have done those things. I believe that the truth will definitely come out soon."

"I think so too." Mandy whispered, "Do you have time to meet this evening?"

"Meet?" Hazel was surprised.

"The thing is, I went to see Susan and got some evidence that might prove that Master Joshua is innocent." Mandy said, "I don't know if the evidence is useful, but I want to give it to you."

"What time? Where do you want to meet?" Hazel blinked. She was very interested in such information.

"At 7 o'clock at the South City Bar?" Mandy said.

"Oh?" Hazel was baffled. She and James had agreed to meet at 8 o'clock at the South City Bar. Why did Mandy also pick this place? Did they talk to each other?

However, it could be just a coincidence, but at least she would not have to rush between two places.

"You don't have time?" Mandy asked with some pity, "If you are not available, then we can meet some other time."

"Yes, I have the time." Hazel hurriedly said, "It's a date. I'll see you tonight."

"Good, I will see you tonight." Mandy hung up.

***

At 7 o'clock, Hazel arrived at the South City Bar, it was just opening, and there were not many people there. She looked around and saw Mandy sitting at the bar, waving her over.

Hazel went to the bar and sat down next to her. Mandy pushed a beautiful drink in front of Hazel and whispered, "Hazel, try this one. It is a special drink only available at this very famous bar. You are able to drink it, I know you can't have alcohol, so I asked them not to add any."

"You also know the current situation. I don't have the mood for this." Hazel grinned and pushed the cup aside.

"Just relax." Mandy whispered, "Didn't you say that those are just rumors? And that is Master Joshua! No one can touch him easily!"

Hazel was still looking upset. She said with some helplessness, "You are right. But after all, we don't know who the other party is. While they are in the dark, Joshua could be vulnerable. Forget it. You said that you had the evidence. Where is it?"

Mandy put her hand into her pocket, "Here..."

Before Mandy finished her words, a strong man standing behind Hazel suddenly grabbed her shoulders. Hazel swayed and suddenly broke out of his grip. The next moment, she used her skills and slammed the man's head on the bar counter.

"Hazel, save me!" Mandy was crying in shock beside her.

Hazel looked up and saw another man grabbing Mandy's arm, ready to take her away. Hazel quickly chased him and knocked him down with a flying kick. Seeing that many people were running towards them, Hazel took Mandy and turned and began running.

"It looks like people are blocking the door of the bar." Mandy asked with a pale face, "What should we do now?"

"Don't be afraid!" Hazel said, "Let's look for another exit!"

"Where is the back door?" Hazel asked.

Mandy pointed in the direction of the back door. Before they could get to it, they saw someone blocking it. Hazel knew she was clearly the target, but she had just arrived. How did they prepared in advance and knew she would be there?

"Go upstairs!" Hazel said.
