Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 826 - 114: I’ll Pay The Bills

Vanessa saw the accident clearly through the window but did not the least bit surprised. However, her eyes were filled with horrible anger that quickly turned to disbelief.

Several cars black cars abruptly appeared as the hit-and-run driver tried to escape, but the car was intercepted. People quickly got out of the black cars and ran to open the door of the Maybach.

Soon, the driver of the Maybach was helped out of the car by the strangers. It was a disastrous accident, but thankfully he did not appear to be badly hurt, one of the strangers helped him into a car and drove away.

How could this be?! Vanessa pressed her whole face, which was appallingly sneering, against the window!

There was actually only the driver in the car without Joshua and Hazel. Judging from the situation, Joshua had obviously been well-prepared.

Vanessa's heart was suddenly filled with fear.

Why was Joshua prepared for this? Why weren't they in the car? What did Joshua know?! He wouldn't have known it was all arranged by her, would he?

That was impossible! She had always had clean hands. Joshua would never find out that it was her who had planned it.

Vanessa drank the coffee in front of her in a fluster, she had no idea what it even tasted like, she was too worried about being caught.

Joshua was a bit surprised that Hazel drove the car so skillfully.

"It doesn't seem to be only a few months since you got your driver's license?" he asked in surprise. "You don't drive like a novice at all."

"I could drive when I was 16," Hazel recalled back with a smile. "My brother secretly taught me, but my parents found out and then punished him. He loved me and couldn't stand it when I begged him, so he always allowed me to drive the car on the sly."

Joshua was about to say something when his phone vibrated. He answered the phone with a serious face.

"President, as you expected, there was an accident," on the other end of the line, Jaxson said.

"Have you caught the driver?" Joshua's eyes were cold.

"The hit-and-run driver is caught," Jaxson was a little helpless, "but the person behind the incident hasn't been found yet, the other party had clean hands."

"I have a rough guess about who set it up," Joshua said in a deep voice.

"Is it really her?" asked Jaxson in astonishment. He was still a bit skeptical.

Joshua just said lightly, "Jaxson, do you remember what I told you? Go ahead."

Joshua was furious; he and Hazel were lucky to escape this time, but what if next time they were not so lucky. He would not have been prepared this time if Hazel hadn't been so sensitive and felt something was wrong.

Although he had no evidence, he knew who did it.

After contemplating things for a few moments, he believed he was sure of who could arrange things so quickly in the imperial capital and knew exactly where he was going.

He must teach that woman a lesson!

"All right." Jaxson quickly agreed.

"What's the matter?" Hazel asked curiously.

"Things at work." Joshua hung up the phone and said quietly.

"Oh," Hazel said, without further questioning.

Vanessa's hands were still trembling. If something did happen to Joshua, she wouldn't have been scared, but now he was fine and may even suspect her.

No! Joshua had no proof! What would he do even if he doubted her? Could he do something to her?

Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down.

"I'll pay the bill!" She stopped the passing waiter and gave him a credit card. The waiter took the card but came back quickly with some uncertainties.

"Madam, you don't have enough money on this card."

"How is that possible?!" Vanessa looked at him in surprise.

"Would you like to try another card?" asked the waiter.

Vanessa impatiently took another card out of her purse.

She tried several cards, but the waiter said the same thing each time — there was not enough money in the card.

"Madam, or would you consider paying with your cell phone?" The waiter suggested. He wasn't as polite to Vanessa as he had been earlier.

"What do you mean? Do you scorn me and think I can't afford it? Do you know who I am?!" Vanessa cried, her face red with rage.

When had she been so humiliated? Was she actually suspected by others that she would not pay her bill?

Vanessa noticed people sitting at other tables were looking at her, she became even more annoyed.

"Madam, don't get me wrong. It's just a few dollars, so I was just suggesting other payment methods. I am not implying anything else,"

The waiter said this, but he signaled the security guard to prevent Vanessa from running away.

Vanessa was about to say something when her father called.

"Dad, what's the matter?" asked Vanessa impatiently.

"Vanessa, do you know what happened? Why did Joshua suddenly deal with me like that?!" Garry said quickly, "He is unexpectedly investigating me for misappropriating the company's funds, and he has so much evidence. Now all of our accounts are frozen!"

"What?!" Vanessa clutched her phone in disbelief. No wonder she couldn't swipe her card. It turned out the money had been frozen.

Why did Joshua do this to her? Even though he suspected her, it was clear that he had no evidence!

Suddenly, her face turned pale as she sat back on the sofa weakly.

It was because Joshua had been so merciful to her that she forgot how powerful he could be when it came to handling matters. He didn't need any proof at all. If he suspected her, he would never let her go!

She really did not expect that Joshua would be so aggressive, directly pinching her lifeline!

If the misappropriation of funds were really investigated, Garry Young would definitely go to jail. Without the support of the Young family, even if she had the talent, she could do nothing big.

"Madam, you don't want to pay by washing dishes, do you?" The waiter seemed to know something, so there was ridicule in his words.

Of course, Vanessa didn't choose to wash the dishes. She was so proud that she couldn't be humiliated like that anyway. Eventually, she gave her new phone to the waiter as the fee and miserably walked away.

After Joshua and Hazel went back to Denmark's Residence, Joshua went straight into the kitchen, Hazel followed him. Although the damage that had been caused was because of Hazel, he did not blame her. He actually enjoyed the trouble she was causing.

The servants had already prepared the dining room. Red candles were placed on the table, and roses with dew were arranged in the vase.

After they sat down at the table, Hazel picked up her fork and saw a servant come in. "Mr. Denmark, Mr. Young is here."

Joshua cocked his brows slightly. Garry Young came really quickly, but not at the right time.

"Ask him to wait in the living room," he said indifferently.
