Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 883 - 171: Don’t Stop Me

In the end, they agreed with Joshua's arrangement. They returned to their temporary Swan Lake residence community with Hazel, leaving all the rest to Joshua.

Even though Hazel had tried her best to comfort them, how could Harry and Rachel let go of their worries? They didn't even have the mental energy to talk about the relationship between Hazel and Joshua.

Waiting like this was not good, it only gave them time to think. Rachel and Harry called Hazel and said, "Hazel, do you know where Nadine lives?"

Hazel was surprised, "Dad, Mom, are you going to find her?"

Rachel frowned, "This thing was somehow started by her, right? I heard Eddy sought trouble with your brother because of her. Let's go find her and make her testify for your brother. Isn't it a good idea?"

"I'm afraid she won't help." Hazel sighed.

After the incident, she heard Nadine left immediately. If she really had the intention to help, she would have at least gone to the police station to make a statement, but she did not. Obviously, she wanted to stay out of this.

"How will we know if we haven't tried?" Harry sighed.

"Okay, I'm going to find out where she lives." Hazel reluctantly agreed.

Hazel called Joshua, and Joshua quickly found the address and sent it to her.

Nadine also received news of Eddy's death and quickly started packing her belongings and prepared to leave the capital.

When Hazel and her parents reached the address, they saw Nadine was leaving with her suitcase. The Crowe family stopped her, but just as Hazel had speculated, Nadine was unwilling to help.

"Miss Reed," Rachel said in a pleading tone, "We just hope that you can stay and tell the police the truth. That's all."

Nadine said impatiently, "What does this have to do with me? It was your son who fought with Eddy. If he didn't fight back, things would not have been so horrible. And he even makes me have to... forget it. Just get out of my way. Don't stop me!"

The Crowe family's faces suddenly became extremely threatening. Hazel was infuriated.

"Miss Reed, if you did not pester my brother, how would this have happened?" Hazel said coldly, "If you already had a sugar daddy, why did you confess your feelings to my brother? I can honestly say, were you the one picking up fights from start to finish."

"What are you talking about?" Nadine glared at her, "Even if I confessed to him, I didn't ask him to kill anybody! He killed a man. Shouldn't he be arrested? Now you still want to blame me for what he did. The entire Crowe family is just so evil!"

"You..." Rachel was angry. She wanted to say something but was stopped by Hazel.

"Mom, forget it." Hazel shook her head. When it came to this, Harry and Rachel certainly knew that Nadine would not help.

They had no choice but to let her go, Nadine snorted and pulled her suitcase past them.

Suddenly, a young woman with a large group of people appeared across the street.

Nadine was about to walk past them when the woman grabbed Nadine's hair and slapped her in the face.

"How dare you..." Nadine angrily glared at the woman, but then she realized who the woman was, she couldn't help but feel guilty. The woman was none other than Eddy's wife. Nadine had not met her, but she recognizes her from pictures.

"You slutty bitch!" The young woman gave Nadine another slap, "You seduced my husband, and my husband was killed!"

Nadine still wanted to resist, but the men behind the young woman pinned her down and then punched and kicked her.

"Save me! Hazel, save me..." Nadine hurriedly called Hazel for help.

Rachel wanted to go forward, but Hazel stopped her. Hazel looked at Nadine and said coldly, "What does this have to do with me? You are the bitch who destroyed another family. Don't you deserve to be beaten by the wife?"

Hearing these words from Hazel, Nadine was suddenly mad. She angrily yelled at Eddy's wife, "Why are you going after me? It's them, the Crowe family who killed your husband! You are just not capable of beating your true enemies, huh?"

Harry and Rachel's faces turned white. They didn't expect Nadine would be such an awful person!

"Hey! You still want to make mischief?" The young woman slapped Nadine's face again.

"Dad, Mom, let's go," Hazel said coldly.

"Yeah." The two agreed with a grimace on their face. They had thought about helping Nadine for a moment, but not anymore.

When they left, Rachel sighed in disappointment, "I thought I could help Ronald, but I didn't expect..."

"Mom, don't worry. It doesn't matter if this lead doesn't work. We still got Joshua." Hazel whispered.

Harry and Rachel stared at her. Hazel was stunned, and she suddenly said,

"You don't want to let Joshua help?"

Harry and Rachel looked at each other, embarrassed. They came to Nadine, not that they didn't think about the possibility of being rejected, but they didn't want to owe Joshua anything.

"Mom, Dad, please, can you hear me out?" Hazel said with a serious look, "What time is it now? Can you put aside the prejudice against Joshua?"

"We'll try," Harry said slyly. "Hazel, can you ask him if he is willing to come over for dinner tonight?"

Hazel looked at them in confusion, then quickly nodded.

Although Crowe's family asked Joshua to dinner because they needed help from him, it also represented a change in their attitude towards Joshua.

Hazel dialed Joshua's number he quickly answered. She asked her immediately, "Joshua, are you free tonight? My parents want to invite you to dinner."

Joshua was surprised and raised his eyebrows. He said softly, "Of course. If my father-in-law and mother-in-law want to invite me to dinner, I have all the time in the world for this dinner."

Hazel's face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly said, "Then come over at 7 o'clock tonight. Remember, do not be late. My parents dislike people who don't respect time."

"Well, I will be there," Joshua whispered.

"Okay good, I still got other things to worry about." Hazel frowned. She said with some concern, "If Eddy's death was due to fighting in the Kim family, I am afraid that someone will rush to kill my brother to keep the truth in the dark!"
