Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1212 - 500: He Must Stay?

Having said that, it was clear that she did not believe Joshua.

"He must stay?" she looked at Joshua and asked solemnly.

"Then... shall we throw him into the sea now?" asked Joshua tentatively.

"... Forget it." She was very speechless. Now the cruise ship was far away from the shore, if they really threw Simon, they could only throw him into the sea. Simon would have very likely drowned even if he was very lucky.

Hazel was very wary of Simon, but she didn't want to kill him.

She looked at Joshua and said earnestly, "If you want to keep him, then do that. I won't ask you why."

She guessed that Joshua's decision to keep Simon around was not because of the reason he had said. But since Joshua didn't want to talk, she wouldn't ask.

Simon suddenly felt more unhappy. He could not help saying, "Pumpkin, you spoil Joshua too much, don't you? He's lying. You must not forgive him!"

"Good, then I'll throw you to feed the fish in the sea first!" Hazel glared at him angrily. Under these circumstances, Simon still couldn't be restless as he wanted to drive a wedge between her and Joshua.

In an instant, there was hidden bitterness in Simon's heart. He even suspected that Joshua deliberately asked him to aboard just in a bid to let him see their public display of affection and to give him a mental blow. Given Joshua's sinister personality, he would definitely do such a thing in the name of common interests!

As the cruise continued, Hazel asked Joshua to imitate the action of the movie Titanic. Of course, Joshua was very cooperative, but Simon felt so jealous. He could not help constantly swearing at Joshua at the bottom of his heart. Joshua is really a sinister, narrow-minded man!

After some time, the ship stopped at the sea. Joshua picked up the fishing tackle and began fishing.

Simon, who didn't want to be lonely, also asked for another fishing tackle. He wanted to compete with Joshua.

Hazel felt very speechless as she watched the two of them fight in secret. These two people were too childish!

"My dear wife," Joshua shouted intimately, "I forgot to get black pepper. Would you go into the kitchen and get some for me?"

Hearing him say 'wife,' Simon got goosebumps. Sure enough, Joshua invited him deliberately. Since they got the marriage license, Joshua would shamelessly show off his ownership by saying "Wife" or "Honey" whenever he appeared!

Hazel's eyes flashed. Joshua was deliberately sending her away.

She was not a dull person, to begin with. How could she not notice at this time that Joshua and Simon seemed to be planning something? Therefore, they, which had been enemies, suddenly became friends. It was perhaps not quite proper to say that they were friends, but they were partners.

But what made them actually join forces?

Hazel couldn't figure it out. Joshua didn't want to tell her, and naturally, she didn't want to press for an answer.

She nodded and headed for the cabin.

Joshua and Simon were alone on deck now.

Joshua swung his fishing rod and calmly dragged a sea fish up from the sea.

Seeing this, Simon was a little bit worried. He was behind Joshua at present, although he was not far behind Joshua.

"Are you sure it's the island?" Joshua spoke suddenly.

"Of course." Simon looked in the distance and sneered.

As far as they could see, there was a beautiful island. That island didn't look small. It was completely surrounded by the sea, but the side facing them was a steep cliff. And on the cliff, there was a big villa.

"There was once where the old fox kept your mother and where they lived for a long time. Since your mother died, the old man has been a devoted lover and come to live on the island for some time every year," Simon said sarcastically.

He hated Ted, and he liked to call him "old man" or "old fox," even though Ted didn't look old at all.

In Simon's opinion, Ted was perhaps the most hypocritical man in the world. He pretended to be deeply affectionate, but he could not even protect his own woman.

After the woman he affectedly loved died, he directly chose to be with his mother. He betrayed his lover but still came here every year to mourn for her. Simon wondered why he pretended to be so affectionate.

"Devoted lover?" There was a hint of mockery in Joshua's voice. Thinking of Stacy, who was suffering now, his feelings were, in fact, the same as Simon's.

"Forget it." Simon's face became grave. "Whether he is a truly devoted lover or not, the old man has several men on the island, and any ship that approaches will be warned. I have never been to the island. If you want to launch an attack here, at least you should know the island's geography. We can't get close. How are you going to figure out the geography?"

"Don't worry, I have an idea," Joshua said quietly.

"What is it?" Simon was very surprised.

"Thanks to your fiancée," Joshua spoke.

Simon was even more surprised. "What did Madeline Carter do?"

After asking, Simon's face could not help turning dark. Joshua, who was such a cunning man, actually had set him up. Now Simon himself had admitted that Madeline was his fiancée.

Joshua's mouth tilted upwards slightly at the corners. The next moment, he looked up at the sky.

Simon followed his eyes. His face changed slightly. "Drones?"

"Yes." Joshua's eyes turned deep. "Your fiancée used it to spy on Hazel and me."

Simon frowned. He ignored the address 'fiancée' and said, "Drones are useful, but it is difficult to know the layout inside the villa."

"So it's up to you." Joshua opened his mouth. "You get people sneaking in it."

"The old man cares about the place very much. Do you think it's so easy to get people to sneak in it?" Simon was furious instantly.

"Of course not," Joshua said, looking at him with deep eyes, "but I believe you can make it."

"Who wants your belief?" Simon was annoyed. "Do you think you can coax me into doing that by just saying sweet words? No way!"

"Trying every means possible to sneak into this island is something you've been doing, isn't it?" Joshua spoke quietly.

Simon stiffened slightly.

"You have been so hostile to him. Have you had no plan or arrangement over all these years?" Joshua wore a half-smile. "If that's the case, you're not the right person to work with me."

Simon gave him the finger in deep protest at his words. He had come to figure out Charles's strength, but in the end, he completely exposed his own strength instead.
