Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

??

It seemed he could only bring them endless harm. He had been hindering his two sons and bringing danger for them.

However, when it came to this point, neither Joshua nor Simon gave up on him. Instead, they gave him opportunities again and again, but he didn\'t cherish them. Worse still, he even thought that they were too heartless to regard him as a father.

It wasn\'t until Hazel scolded him severely that he realized how wrong he had been.

Sure enough, as Hazel said, he was the one who was wrong from beginning to end…

Now he thought it absurd. What gave him the courage to force Joshua and Simon, again and again, to do exactly as he requested?

Ted didn\'t say anything and remained silent for a long time.

Hazel was secretly worried because the longer it was, the more dangerous the situation would be for Stacy.

If the kidnappers gave Stacy to Ian, it would be too late for Hazel and Ted!

"We haven\'t caught up yet?" Hazel asked irritably.

"We\'re trying our best…" said the driver, a little alarmed.

When Hazel loudly swore at Ted, she really scared Ted\'s subordinates. They didn\'t expect Hazel to have such a hot temper. Moreover, Ted actually allowed Hazel to do that. How could they who were his subordinates have the nerve to offend her anymore?

"Here\'s your phone," Ted looked as if he had remembered something and said. Then he returned Hazel\'s phone he had taken away. "You get out of the car later, call Joshua, and ask him to pick you up. It\'s too dangerous to go to find Stacy. I\'ll go myself."

"Are you kidding?" She was really angry. "You didn\'t allow my bodyguards to follow when you took me out, but now you suddenly want to throw me out of the car?

"I\'m a pregnant woman. What if Ian Flores\'s subordinates, instead of Joshua\'s bodyguards, find me first when I wait on the roadside? Are you sure there aren\'t any spies of Ian around you? Do you think it\'s heroic to save mom alone? And you don\'t care if I can survive?"

In an instant, Ted was silent. Only now did he realize what he said just now was very thoughtless indeed.

Hazel didn\'t take any bodyguards. If he left her alone on the roadside, even if she didn\'t encounter Ian, she would be more likely to encounter other dangers.

"But I may not be able to protect you then," he said in a low voice.

"I don\'t need your protection," she said with displeasure.

Taking the phone, she sent a message with a location to Joshua.

Soon, Joshua called her. When she answered the phone, he asked uncertainly, "Hazel?"

"It\'s me."Hearing his voice, she felt a little wounded in her heart.

"Did he give you a hard time?" he asked in a deep tone.

"No, he is suddenly convinced." She shook her head slightly and said, "You must come quickly, mom is very likely in danger... Ah!"

Before she could finish the sentence, there was a loud noise as a car suddenly crashed into their car. The whole car shook, and the phone that she held in her hand was immediately thrown out!

The phone instantly went black, but now she couldn\'t care about it. A bullet came toward her, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

"Sit tight!" Ted said in a serious tone."Don\'t worry, the glass of the car is bulletproof!"

The bullet hit the bulletproof glass, leaving only a small groove. Hazel tightly held on to the seat, allowing the driver to drive as fast as he could.

"What\'s the matter?" She gritted her teeth. "Why are we attacked? Are there Ian\'s spies among the subordinates you are taking now?"

He didn\'t speak, but his pale face was the answer.

She nearly broke down. "Isn\'t it said that you are very hard to deal with? Why were you so difficult to deal with when you fought with Joshua and Simon, but you are so unintelligent while facing an? How on earth could he arrange so many spies around you?"

"There aren\'t many old followers around me in Country M." After a pause, he finally told the truth, "Months ago, I didn\'t have enough subordinates, so I\'ve transferred lots of subordinates to the manor during the last few months. Some of them may have been bought over and dispatched by Ian."

"During the last few months?" She froze, feeling very cold. "When did you knew Joshua and I were back together? You want to increase your staff to deal with Joshua?"

Ted\'s words almost made her crazy. She had originally thought that Ted really cared about Joshua even though he didn\'t know how to express his fatherly concern correctly. But now it seemed he had treated Joshua like an enemy! He certainly didn\'t see Joshua as an enemy in his heart, but what he did was exactly all behavior handling an enemy!

This was the first time that Hazel had seen such a stupid father!

No wonder Ian\'s subordinates could so easily infiltrate. It seemed that he had already gotten a thorough understanding of Ted\'s characters after being around Ted for so many years!

"You wouldn\'t have been so passive if you\'d used your intelligence to deal with others instead of Joshua!" Hazel snapped, clenching her teeth. Now she didn\'t even have the strength to say any harsh words.

Ted looked embarrassed. Even if Hazel didn\'t say anything harsh, he knew he personally gave Ian the chance to kidnap Stacy.

Thankfully, Ted had some foundation and strength. Soon, he and his subordinates got rid of the attackers.

"Found the car where Mrs. King is!" Suddenly someone shouted excitedly.

This sentence cheered everyone up, like stimulants! But the next moment, all their faces hardened.

They did find the car that took Stacy that was parked in front of an abandoned building.

But there were also a lot of cars parked next to it. So clearly, Stacy was now in Ian\'s hands!

Ted\'s hands turned cold. Was he late?

"Ted, get out!" Ian\'s subordinates shouted at him.

"I\'ll get out of the car, and you\'ll stay in the car," Ted said to Hazel. "The window is opaque from the outside. So they can\'t see you..."

"It\'s no use…." Her mouth tightened into a thin line.

He looked pale. "You\'re right. I have Ian\'s spies around me, and he knows I took you with me. Hazel... I\'m sorry."

Hazel looked cold. If she had heard Ted say sorry before, she would have been surprised. But at this point, his apology couldn\'t change anything at all.

"Hazel, get out of the car!" Ian\'s subordinates continued shouting.
