Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 820 - 108: I Want To Stay With You

Hazel was speechless, she didn't expect that Hank would call a gang to come after them.

"Oh, what a nice girl she is!" The one called Brother Lee looked at Hazel with an obscene smile in his eyes.

Hazel shivered for a second as everyone around her and Joshua scattered, some of them appeared to be calling the police.

Joshua raised his eyebrows when he saw that Hazel was warming up her fingers, with a look of getting ready to fight, he jumped in front of her.

"What do you want?" Joshua asked faintly.

"Not so tough now, huh?" Hank said arrogantly. "It's not impossible for you to walk away from this. Apologize to me first and then let Hazel have a good time with us. Rest assured, although there are a lot of us, she will be returned to you in one piece!"

Several thugs behind him sneered in a wicked manner.

Joshua's expression grew more unconcerned, and he asked, "Do we have to be like this?"

"Of course!" Hank yelled, "Hazel, now you see how useless this pretty boy can be? He just sold you in a blink of an eye to protect himself."

Joshua suddenly put on a poker face and said, "Suit yourself."

Suddenly, several bodyguards appeared, and they immediately began to fight with Hank's gang. They were no match against the professional bodyguards, and they were soon beaten into submission.

The situation changed so quickly that Hank was stunned, he glanced in every direction, trying to find a way to escape, but Hazel noticed him. She snuck up behind him and kicked his leg, he was caught off guard and fell to the floor.

"Why are you running?" Hazel looked at him, "Not so tough now, huh?"

Hank was furious with Hazel for treating him the way she did in the store, and now, he thought he did not care about the situation.

He grabbed an army knife he had hidden in his pocket, jumped up from the floor, and shouted, "Get lost!"

Hazel did not let her guard down, especially when she saw the shining knife blade. When Hank swung at her, she dodged it, and before he could swing again, Joshua had a hold of the knife-wielding arm.

Hank only felt that his wrist was clamped by steel, and he screamed and dropped the knife on the ground.

"Who is behind you?" Joshua asked sharply.

"What, what?" Hank screamed.

Joshua's eyes became dark, was he being too suspicious? It could just be a coincidence, and maybe Hank just took out the knife to be able to escape.

Bodyguards had subdued several small punks. Brother Lee yelled, "Let go of me! Do you know who I am? You really got balls. I will call our boss to clean you up!"

"You don't have to call him. I will let you go," Joshua took out a note and quickly wrote down an address and handed it to Brother Lee. "This is my address. Just tell your boss to find me. I want to take this guy with us."

Brother Lee looked at Joshua with some confusion. Did he actually let them go? He was uneasy with the fearlessness that Joshua had in his eyes. Who was this guy? Why was he not afraid of them at all?

Brother Lee looked around, and he didn't want to stay any longer, neither did he want to alarm the police. He took the note and bluffed, "Just you wait! Let's go, boys!"

The little punks quickly disappeared. Hazel couldn't help but glare. "You just let them go?"

"They have suffered a loss and will definitely come back to me," Joshua said faintly.

"Why don't you send them to the police station?" Hazel was puzzled.

"Are you sure you want to send them to the police station? Your mother will know."

Hazel was thinking. Certainly, if they sent these little gangsters to the police station, Rachel would find out about their relationship. Joshua solved the problem in such a manner for her sake? Just because she didn't want her parents to know about their relationship, he sent them away.

Hazel's had a huge crush on Joshua for putting her wishes first.

"It seems that I can't accompany you today." Joshua took her hand, "Go, I will send you home first."

"I am going back to the hotel with you," Hazel said resolutely.

"Well?" Joshua raised his eyebrows and said, "Hazel, rest assured, I will solve it."

"I know." Hazel nodded. Even though it was in City S, Hazel also believed that Joshua had the ability to settle things like this. She insisted, "I want to stay with you."

It's better her parents never knew this story, in case they would be biased against Joshua. However, she had to do something to thank him, so she wanted to be with Joshua.

With a gentle smile on his lips, Joshua nodded. "Good."

The two returned to the hotel together, and Joshua booked the presidential suite on the top floor and asked the waiter to prepare a big meal in advance and send it to the bedroom. When they arrived, the meal was just being delivered to them.

Hazel sat down. When she just picked up the appetizing red wine and was about to take a drink when Joshua took the glass away.

"You drink this," Joshua said, smiling as he filled a glass of orange juice for her.

"I want to taste the red wine." Hazel looked at him, pleading.

"Okay," Joshua twitched his lips, "After drinking that, I won't send you home. And I don't guarantee what I will do to you."

Hazel's cheeks were slightly red, and she picked up the orange juice.

When she was about to eat, her phone rang, and to her surprise, the call was from Rachel.

She pressed the answer button, only to hear Rachel ask, "Hazel, your aunt Emma just called and said you bullied Fanny when you were shopping with her today. Is it true?"

Hazel was outraged, her uncle's family really was a bunch of weirdos. They actually made a complaint before she could.

She may have had some sympathy for Fanny, but after what she just experienced, that feeling was gone.

"Mom, that is bullshit!" Hazel angrily told Rachel how Fanny lied to her and how shameless Hank was. However, she did not mention the revenge Hank planned and the fight between Joshua and Hank.

"This family!" Rachel clenched her teeth. "I should really stop contacting them! Hazel, where are you now?"

"Mom, don't worry. I am with my friend!" Hazel glanced at Joshua and said with a little guilt.

"Please come home early and stay safe," Rachel said and hung up.

"Hazel, you eat before you leave." Joshua glanced at the phone. "I'm going out."

Hazel hurriedly said, "Are those people coming again? Let me go with you..."
