Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 955 - 243: Are You Laughing At Us?

Lanny's greed was even stronger, and he couldn't wait to have it all. Even if he got more from Joshua, it would not be as much as Joshua had. He just had to figure out how he could get it all.

Lanny's eyes suddenly fell on Hazel's body. She felt a chill run down her spine; she felt as if a vicious man was watching her.

She felt scared and uncomfortable but was also puzzled, she raised her eyebrows and looked around. The members of the Flores family were all still admiring the villa in front of them, she thought it must have been her imagination.

Leading them into Denmark Residence, their eyes became even brighter. They kept looking around and touching everything. Hazel could not understand why they were so rude. Caroline told Nanny Carter to prepare some tea and pretend not to see anything.

The two maids passed by and smiled. Lanny, who was looking around, suddenly became angry. He pulled a maid by the arm and slapped her. "Why are you two laughing? Are you laughing at us?"

The two maids screamed, and they looked at him with shock and fear.

Hazel heard the commotion, hurried over, and stepped in front of the maids. She sustained her anger and looked at Lanny. "What happened?"

If she knew that they would cause even more trouble, she would never have agreed to bring them there.

"You ask them!" Lanny said wickedly, "They dared to laugh at me!"

"We didn't," the eyes of the maid who was beaten was red. "We were just talking about our wages."

"According to what you said, my husband made a mistake? Who do you think you are? You are trying to make him look bad!" Caroline rushed forward unreasonably.

Hazel already understood what had happened. The Flores family was clearly too inferior, thinking that everyone looked down on them. She looked at Caroline coldly.

"If you are coming to make trouble, then I will only ask you to leave!"

Caroline suddenly stopped, and she was staring at Hazel.

Although they were at Denmark Residence, they had not seen Joshua. If they are driven out now, they never would.

"Well, I think this is a misunderstanding," Henry stepped forward and smiled at Hazel. "We will show Hazel some respect. This is all right."

Lanny and Caroline felt better, and they sat down with anger.

Hazel was on edge. Henry was still watching her, and his gaze made her feel a little disgusting. She tried to ignore him and turned to comfort the two maids, hoping they could deal with the trauma they were just exposed to.

Seeing that Hazel was treating the maids so well, Lanny and Caroline were even angrier. What did Hazel mean? Was it their fault? The hardest part for them was even though they were angry, they could not get angry at Hazel.

"Dad, Mom." Theresa heard that they were there and walked over to them with some fear.

Caroline was outraged and suddenly slapped Theresa's face. "You whore! You are living so well in the nice place that you forgot about your parents?"

Theresa endured the pain, and she dared not make a sound.

Hazel suddenly could not handle their attitude any longer, she stepped forward to protect Theresa. "Enough! If you just came here to hit people, then you can leave immediately!"

Lanny rushed to Caroline, she continued to stare at Theresa. Eventually, they both sat down.

"You should go back to your room," Hazel said helplessly to Theresa. If Theresa was there, she thought Lanny and Caroline would be venting anger toward her.

Hazel was really regretting bringing them to Denmark Residence. Had they really wanted to come not to cause trouble?

Theresa looked at Caroline with fear, but Hazel patted her on the shoulder to give her some encouragement, and she ran to her room.

"Hazel, when will Joshua be back?" Caroline pulled Hazel to the side and eagerly asked, "He will come back?"

"...Yes," Hazel said silently. "He should be back soon. I have already called him."

Caroline hurriedly said, "Would you like to urge him again..."

"Okay, I will go call him now." She didn't want to say too much to her.

Hazel walked toward the door with her mobile phone. She really didn't want to stay in the same room with them for a moment longer. She was the only one around, the servants delivered tea and then went to hide from the cruel family.

When she walked outside, she let out a sigh of relief. She really didn't know if this was the right decision. She hesitated about calling Joshua but then saw a familiar car pull in the driveway.

Joshua got out of the car and walked towards Hazel, and she looked at him blankly as he got closer.

"Why are you waiting outside?" Joshua calmly stopped her shoulder. "Go inside."

Hazel looked up at him and had the overwhelming urge to tell him everything. She did not know what to say, though, and she was suddenly worried that if Joshua saw the Flores family, he would be angry.

It felt like a lifetime to Hazel, but it had only taken a few seconds for them to walk inside.

Henry saw him first and yelled to his parents. They all looked at the door with excitement.

The man standing at Hazel's side... is Joshua?

This was the first time they saw Joshua, and the three were completely shocked. They all felt like it was a dream. They thought Joshua was so handsome, noble, and smart, and when people saw him, they would be shocked by his temperament.

Lanny and Caroline were delighted, but gradually, their hearts are full of doubts. They looked at each other, knowing they were both thinking the same thing.

Joshua...Was he really the son they once sold? He did not come across like the people of the Flores family.

Just a moment of hesitation, in a blink of an eye, their looks changed to one of sudden determination.

Whether or not Joshua was their son, they must be sure to convince everyone that he is the son they sold. Otherwise, would he make them return all the things that they had already got?

Joshua gave them a passing glance with a calm look in his eyes.

Hazel was somewhat confused. Why do the Flores family seem to be so excited, but Joshua seemed to be indifferent? This is totally different from what she imagined.

"You, you are Joshua?" Caroline came forward, and she asked, a little embarrassed.

"Yeah." Joshua nodded calmly.

"I, we are Theresa's parents, and we come to see her today." Caroline rushed to say.
