Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Because if she made the wrong choice and trusted the wrong person, then she would likely… lose her most beloved man, which would be a consequence she really couldn\'t accept.

"I understand," said Simon gravely. "If anything happens to him, I\'ll give you my life!"

She bit her lip hard. She turned away and ignored Simon\'s remark.

Simon waved his hand, and his men protected Hazel in the middle.

"The previous sound seemed to come from that place." James pointed to the southwest of the island.

"That\'s the tarmac on the island," Simon\'s pupils suddenly shrank. "Let\'s go!"

The gunshots suddenly stopped, which made them very panicky in the heart. It was so oddly quiet. Could it be… that someone was injured?

Hazel didn\'t dare think too much. She followed them closely.

***

Joshua stepped out and motioned that he was unarmed before going in the direction of the attackers.

The masked man was none other than Ian Flores! Simon just assumed that all this was arranged by his uncle, but Simon did not think that it was his uncle who kidnapped Stacy and came to Stacy Island himself!

Ian had planned to kidnap members of the Sloane family to threaten Joshua, but he accidentally found Stacy.

Stacy was certainly a better hostage for Ian. He intended to put her to better use, but he hadn\'t imagined that he would have to be forced by Joshua to use her to escape.

He waved his hand fretfully to beckon his men to let go of Stacy and ordered Stacy. "Go ahead. Someone will pick you up."

Stacy had already gotten better, so she could understand simple instructions and followed them. Ian knew this after abducting her, so now he just gave her simple orders.

Stacy obediently walked forward.

Joshua breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Stacy walk toward him.

Stacy didn\'t walk quickly. Although Joshua was worried, he did not quicken his pace.

Joshua\'s eyes turned deep as Stacy drew closer.

Ian aimed his gun straight at Joshua, afraid that something would happen!

Joshua walked calmly. When he saw Stacy nearly walk past him, he walked past Stacy without a glance.

Seeing this scene, Ian loosened the gun in his hand slightly.

Suddenly, Joshua turned around and held Stacy to fall on the ground!

He had only one chance!

Ian was shocked and furious. Joshua Denmark is really playing tricks!

He moved his finger and was about to pull the trigger when he heard his men shout, "Get down!"

Aware of the danger, Ian\'s body was faster than his mind, and he quickly got down.

Bang! Thick smoke exploded, making Ian and all his men cough.

"Smoke bombs!" Ian covered his nose and mouth with hatred. He shouldn\'t have underestimated Joshua. He actually fell for Joshua\'s tricks!

The smoke was so thick that Ian couldn\'t see where Joshua was, so he fired in Joshua\'s direction in succession according to his memory.

The gunshots rang out. Joshua ran in the direction he had come from, protecting Stacy.

Suddenly, Stacy\'s pace stopped, and she looked at the nearby Stacy Island. Her blank eyes were suddenly filled with anger and disgust!

"Ah!" she screamed, ran away from Joshua as fast as she could, and ran wildly in the opposite direction!

Joshua\'s face paled, and he hurried to run after her! When Ian heard Stacy\'s scream, Ian fired straight in their direction!

When Stacy reached the edge of the cliff, Joshua grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her backward. "Be careful!"

A bullet grazed his arm, creating a long line of blood. Joshua\'s strength decreased, and Stacy broke free of his wrist and ran toward the cliff again!

Joshua ignored the injury on his hand and ran after Stacy again helplessly.

"Ah!" All of a sudden, she slipped, and her whole body fell towards the cliff! Joshua reached out quickly and grabbed her wrist.

Stacy looked up blankly at Joshua holding on to her, her frightened eyes brightening. His appearance made her feel at ease for some reason.

"... Son... My son," she called his name softly. Over these days, Joshua didn\'t come to visit her, but Grandpa Sloane always brought a picture of Joshua to Stacy and helped her know about her son.

Finally, at this moment, Stacy recognized Joshua.

Clear tears fell from her eyes, and Joshua felt pain. He grabbed her wrist hard and comforted her in a low voice, "Don\'t be afraid. I\'ll save you..."

"Stop it! Ceasefire!" When Simon arrived at the tarmac, he saw Ian\'s men standing in a group and shouted angrily, "If you don\'t stop fighting, don\'t blame me for disowning and killing you!"

After that, the gunshots stopped.

Hazel stood in the middle of Simon\'s men. She, who had been kept in suspense, was finally relieved. Now she was so excited that she almost wanted to cry.

Finally, finally, catch up with them in time...

Her eyes searched quickly in the crowd, and soon she saw Joshua trying to pull Stacy up on the cliff\'s edge.

"Joshua…" Hazel called his name in a low tone and walked toward him with limp legs.

Ian led the men to walk out of the hidden corner. He looked at Simon in the distance and took off his mask.

"Uncle?" Simon\'s pupils suddenly shrank. He hadn\'t expected that it was really his uncle who did it! Despite all the speculation, Simon had been quietly hoping in the heart that Ian would have nothing to do with it. But right now, he couldn\'t find any excuse to defend Ian.

Simon roared angrily. "What the hell are you doing?!"

"Simon, I know I will test your patience this time," Ian said, looking at Simon grimly. "but even if you hate me or rebuke me, there\'s one thing I have to do!"

With that, he suddenly raised his hand, and the sniper in the corner aimed his gun at Joshua!

"Uncle!" Simon shouted furiously and hurried to warn Joshua, "Joshua, be careful…."

However... It was too late.

Hazel\'s pupils shrank, and the next moment she felt the world turned pale.

She watched Joshua get shot in the head, and the blood ran down his forehead. She watched him fall off the cliff with Stacy...

How did that happen? She had already arrived on time!
