Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 766 - 54: Just Hope It Works

"What is the solution?" The Student Union president hurriedly asked.

Karla gave him a wink, and the two of them went to the empty classroom next door.

"President," Karla whispered. "Let's invite Joshua for the Celebrity Lecture on the weekend..."

"Hazel is not willing to help." The Student Union president frowned, "Karla, can you make it happen?"

"President, you don't understand what I meant." Karla sneered, "I mean, no matter whether Hazel agrees or disagrees, we all declare that Hazel promised to help us to invite Joshua. More importantly, it is best to let everyone on campus know about this event!"

The president of the Student Union looked at her curiously, "You mean, let's release the news first, and then force Hazel to help us to invite Joshua? But if she still insists on not helping, what happens when Joshua doesn't come?"

"If Joshua is here, the credit is naturally yours. Even if Joshua is not present, others will only blame Hazel thinking it was her who deceived them. So, what are you worried about?" Karla sneered.

The president was stunned, this could preserve his reputation, but on the other hand, it was dishonest. He was hesitant.

Like knowing what he was thinking, Karla once again advised, "President, this lecture has been dragged on for several terms, and the students are having a lot of complaints! If things still go south this time, you will really become the first Student Union president to screw up the Celebrity Lecture!"

The face of the Student Union president changed a few times as he weighed his options. He finally made up his mind, "Okay, just do whatever. Just hope it works!"

The Student Union began to promote the news that Hazel took the initiative to invite Joshua to participate in the Celebrity Lecture. It soon spread throughout Quantum University.

Joshua had just appeared in front of the media a few days ago, and the heat had not yet faded. Students at Quantum University were inquisitive about him.

What's more, he was originally a national Prince Charming and a business wizard, and just by adding his name to the poster, the audience fills the lecture hall.

Also, having his name connected to Hazel would mean this kind of propaganda was simply fatal for everyone.

As for Hazel, if her roommate had not told her, she would have been kept in the dark the entire time.

"What?!" Hazel looked at Summer in surprise and asked incredulously, "It said that I was going to invite Joshua? Why don't I know?"

Summer was stunned. She thought Hazel and Joshua had reconciled. Was it wrong?

"There are posts on the campus forum, and the Student Council account personally promoted it." Summer quickly opened the campus forum on her PC.

After reading the posts, Hazel was annoyed. "I didn't agree to any of this!"

She told Summer and Ariel about what happened that day, and the two of them shouted in outrage.

"Sorry, Hazel," Summer said with guilt, "If I hadn't asked you to participate in the activities of the Student Union for me, there would not have been such a rumor."

"It's alright." Hazel thought of Karla, she became enraged, "They are targeting me this time. Even if I didn't go, it would have happened anyway."

"Hazel, they just released the information first to force you to invite Joshua." Summer said, "If he comes, the credit goes to the Student Union. If he doesn't come, you will take the blame. Now many people are thinking that you are gambling with this and that you are crazy to get famous."

Hazel became more and more furious. She clearly understood what Summer said.

Ariel said with concern, "How about we post a clarification thread on the forum?"

"It's useless to send it." Hazel shook her head. "The Student Union has stabbed me at the back. Even if I clarify, others will only think that I am retreating because I cannot invite him, and I will still be blamed."

"What do you plan to do now?" Summer asked.

"Just ignore it." Hazel continued to read her book. "Just let the dirty Student Union play their part. The reputation of the Student Union will not be any better if he doesn't come. Anyway, I have been blamed many times before, I don't mind another one."

Summer and Ariel looked at each other, and they couldn't help but ask, "Hazel, you and Joshua... what the hell is going on? Or maybe you should call him, and he might say he will come?"

Hazel's eyes flickered, her heart was unaccountably sad.

She had been trying to keep herself busy all the time and not think of Joshua. However, it seemed the more she didn't want to think about him, the more she would see his face, but it was never real, only in her head.

She had said so many heart-breaking things to him before, even if he still had a good impression of her, he probably would not come.

"It has nothing to do with him. Don't bother him." Hazel lowered her head. She simply packed up her things and said, "I am going to the library."

Seeing that she was gone, Summer and Ariel looked at each other with a worried look.

"What do we do, Summer?" Ariel said anxiously, "Hazel didn't even plan to ask Prince Charming to help, and she even forbade us to contact him!"

"Don't worry." Summer smirked, "We can contact his assistant, Mr. Hunk. If Jaxson tells Joshua about this, what does it have to do with us?"

"Yes, let's do it!" Ariel nodded, rejoicing.

***

At the President's office in Denmark Group, Jaxson told Joshua about what had happened at Quantum University.

Joshua frowned slightly.

Hazel's roommate contacted Jaxson, indicating that Hazel knew about this matter, but she didn't want to contact him in person?

Joshua may not have contacted Hazel, but that did not mean he did not care.

He was aware of what had happened around her, but she repelled him so harshly that he was waiting for her to contact him. Hazel was really stubborn, though.

"President, should I arrange for you to go to Quantum University on the weekend?" Jaxson asked.

"Need to ask?" Joshua said plainly.

Jaxson was puzzled. Was he going or not? He could not guess how Joshua felt toward Hazel.

"Contact Quantum University!" Joshua was powerless.

"I understand." Jaxson hurriedly promised.

On the day of the Celebrity Lecture, the auditorium of Quantum University was crammed with students. All of the seats were full, and even the aisle had students sitting on the floor.

They were all there to see Joshua up close, but of course, some were there just waiting to see Hazel look bad.
