Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

??

"Wait," she said suddenly.

"Stop it, it\'s all settled!" he spoke impatiently.

"I\'m not trying to stop you," she said coldly. "I\'m just asking you to help me pick up my phone. It\'s not convenient for me."

When she was attacked, her phone fell right next to his feet.

His face darkened slightly, but he still picked up the phone and handed it to her.

Just then, the screen flashed.

Her eyelids twitched. When Ted got ready to get off, she stopped Ted again and lowered her voice, asking, "Are the people in this car all loyal?"

"Of course they are," he said, frowning with displeasure. "And they\'ve been my confidants for years!"

After all, he dispatched these people to watch Hazel, so he certainly didn\'t care less.

But even so, Hazel wasn\'t entirely reassured. Even if his subordinates were loyal, she wasn\'t sure if the car had been secretly tampered with, bugged, or anything.

Thinking of this, she simply handed him the phone, "Look."

Confusedly, he took the phone on which there was a text message from Joshua to Hazel. He was about to ask why she wanted him to read it when his face changed slightly as he scanned the message.

"Is… there any danger?" He frowned.

"I trust Joshua," she said seriously. "But you must think it over. You\'ll be in danger if you do that."

"I don\'t care." He looked grave and finally nodded.

The door opened, and he stepped down. After he walked between the building and the car for a while, he suddenly stopped.

"Hazel, get out!" Ian\'s subordinates continued to shout.

"Ian Flores," Ted shouted. "Don\'t you want to come out and end the feud between… hmm!"

Before he could finish the sentence, a bullet hit him directly in the leg. He gave a dull groan of pain, and his figure tottered as he tried hard to prevent himself from falling.

Hazel tensed up.

The message was about Joshua\'s plan, requesting Ted to get out of the car to draw Ian\'s attention while Joshua\'s subordinates took the opportunity to rescue Stacy. Of course, it was very dangerous for Ted to act as bait. Moreover, she sensed that Ted was deliberately provoking Ian.

However, because of the bad blood between Ian and Ted, Hazel wondered if Ian Flores would directly shoot Ted in the heart!

"That was close. If the shot had hit my heart... Ian Flores, don\'t you think it\'s too light for me?" Ted sneered. "Don\'t you want to know what I said to Elise Flores before she died?"

"Ted King! The feud between us is absolutely irreconcilable!"

With a roar, the next bullet went straight to Ted\'s left arm!

Enduring the pain, he sneered and then added, "Back then, she had just given birth, and I went in there, told her the egg cell was Stacy\'s, and thanked her for having the baby for Stacy.

"Then she died of despair. Your younger sister kept calling your name until she died. Ian Flores, are you sure you don\'t want to avenge her and make me, the man who killed her, live a miserable life?"

"Ted, you beast! I\'ll kill you!" Escorted by his subordinates, Ian Flores roared and rushed out in desperation!

Even if he forbore patiently, he had his weakness! Just as he knew Ted well enough, Ted also knew what he couldn\'t stand!

"Come on!" Ted yelled at him. "I can defeat you with one hand and one foot!"

Such disparaging language infuriated Ian. He dropped the gun and went straight to fight hand-to-hand with Ted!

Fretfully, Hazel looked out the window.

She trusted Joshua. Since Joshua said he could save Stacy as long as Ted drew Ian Flores\'s attention, she believed he could succeed.

It was just that if he didn\'t do anything now, Ted would be killed.

Suddenly, a gunshot sounded like a signal, and Ted suddenly tightly hugged Ian!

Then the whole scene was in chaos, with shots being fired everywhere. Ian Flores\'s subordinates didn\'t dare shoot at Ted for fear of hurting Ian!

Hazel was in the car, but the driver had already started the car and took Hazel away to dodge! Ted had ordered him to keep Hazel safe no matter what happened!

Unable to break free from Ted\'s arms, Ian raised his voice to order his subordinates, "Leave me alone. Take Stacy Sloane here!"

However, his subordinates shouted in alarm, "Master Ian, it\'s not good! They have snipers who caught us off guard and killed the companions guarding Stacy! So now she has been rescued by them."

"What?!" Ian Flores was shocked and furious. "That\'s impossible!"

He knew exactly how many subordinates Ted had. How could Ted get so many people to sneak up on his subordinates and even take Stacy away so easily in such a short time?

This series of actions seemed premeditated!

But whether it was premeditated or not, Stacy had been rescued, and he didn\'t have anyone who could be used as a bargaining chip any longer!

As the gunfire died down, Ian Flores\'s subordinates were wounded or fled.

A group of people surrounded Ian and Ted, who were still fighting, and turned their guns on both of them.

"Come on, you two are so old. Don\'t continue such a ridiculous fight!" Simon looked at them indifferently and spoke with somewhat disdain.

At the sound of his voice, Ian froze.

Ted had been the underdog because of injuries, but now Ian was in a trance, so Ted fought back!

When he heard that Stacy had been rescued, he was very brave!

"Enough, pull them apart!" Simon waved his hands, and his subordinates hastily separated Ian from Ted.

"Are you trying to help him on purpose?" Ted asked with a gloomy face.

"You had better go to bind up the wound and go to the hospital. You\'re so old. Don\'t try to be heroic! How long do you think you can live?" Simon snapped.

"It\'s actually you." Ian looked at him with a complicated look. "You never left?"

"No, I\'ve been watching you in the dark." Simon\'s eyes flashed with mixed feelings, and he finally said.

"Well, as expected, my nephew who has been learning from me," Ian said with a wry smile. "What are you going to deal with me?"
