Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation
Chapter 789 - 77: Collecting Important Evidence
Hazel was still lost in thought. It was indeed not a wise decision to come here with Joshua. She just stood there and did not speak a word, but she was still being pulled into the situation.
Mabel was about to reach for Hazel, holding her hand to slap her and looking at her furiously. Hazel was scared of the woman coming toward her, so she moved out of the way. At the same moment, Joshua stepped in between Mabel and Hazel, the slap landed with a loud smack on his cheek.
The room suddenly got very silent, everyone was in shock and looked at Joshua.
"Joshua Denmark, go away, don't protect this bitch!" Mabel shouted at him in a daring voice. She had slapped Joshua! It made her a little scared, so she was trying to justify her actions.
"Mrs. Young, if you talk to me like this, do not blame me for being impolite," Joshua said in a cold voice.
"You-you talk to me like that!" Mabel retreated as she spoke. She held Vanessa again and was very mad. "If your parents were still alive, they would not allow you to do such an absurd thing."
"Joshua, you've gone too far." Kenny also spoke to him angrily.
"Kenny, we've known each other for so many years, you know me. Do you think I'm the kind who would not assume responsibility?" Joshua looked at him coldly.
Kenny thought for a while and did not reply.
"I do not care what Vanessa has told you all," Joshua explained, "I haven't slept with her. I took her home that day with my driver. You can ask the driver if you do not believe me.
Garry and Mabel panic after hearing that and turned in surprise to look at Vanessa.
"Your driver will vouch for you. If he does know anything, I do not think he would tell us." Vanessa stopped crying and replied firmly.
"Yes! We won't believe a word your people tell us!" Garry quickly echoed, "Joshua. You are determined not to take responsibility. Though the Young family can't compare with the Denmark family, we still will not let you bully us like this!"
"We can check the video surveillance." Hazel suddenly said.
Joshua looked at Hazel appreciatively. They had the exact same thoughts.
"Shut up! What video surveillance? Who do you think you are to suggest what we should do? You bitch…" Mabel shouted at Hazel. But when she saw the cold expression of Joshua, she stopped shouting.
Hazel continued, "Since you both insist on your own opinions, then why not check the video surveillance? We will be able to see when Joshua arrived and when he left from the video. If they indeed took Vanessa home together as he said. Then the whole thing is cleared up."
Garry and Mabel looked at each other suspiciously.
They had made up their mind to force Joshua to marry their daughter this time. What if the video showed it was not Joshua who did this thing? What would they do then? By then, what an embarrassment this would be, there would be people laughing at their daughter.
"I have asked Chuck to get the video surveillance for that day. I believe everything will be clear soon enough." Joshua said calmly. "If I asked my people to do this, I don't think you will be convinced. Chuck is impartial. He will favor none of us. Do you still have any questions?"
Hazel looked at Joshua with admiration, he was prepared before they entered the hospital.
Garry and Mabel grew more and more restless.
Garry shouted at Joshua, "Joshua, what do you mean? Do you think that I am slandering you with such a thing? If you keep bullying us like this, I will not give up on anything in the world!"
"We just want to know the truth. Getting the video surveillance is the best way." Hazel puzzled at his reaction, "What are you afraid of? Don't you want to know the truth?"
Garry and Mabel were too angry to say anything, it was as if everyone could see through their story.
"What makes you think that we are afraid?" Vanessa said coldly," We will wait for the video. I'll prove to you that it's Joshua who is reluctant to admit his part."
Hazel looked at Joshua; she believed him. However, Vanessa was so determined, which made her somewhat uneasy.
Joshua whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, Hazel."
His conscience was clear regarding the entire situation, he knew he had left with the driver, but he believed Vanessa had concocted a plan because she was too calm and relaxed as they waited.
His phone rang suddenly, Joshua told everyone, "It is from Chuck.'
"Then answer it quickly." Garry urged him. He felt encouraged upon hearing his daughter's words.
Joshua pressed the answer button and put Chuck on the speaker so everyone in the room could hear.
"Chuck, what's going on?" Joshua asked, "Have you got the video?"
"Joshua," Chuck replied anxiously, "I just went to get the video, but the video of that day has been hacked."
"Only that day?" Joshua furrowed his eyebrows.
Now he understood why Vanessa was so confident and non-argumentative about the video, she must have been the one who destroyed the video.
"Yes, videos for other times are all normal," Chuck explained.
"Has anyone else asked for the before you?" Joshua kept asking.
"I have asked the property management staff and the security guards, they told me that no one had come." Chuck replied. "but later I discovered that someone had hacked into the surveillance system this afternoon and destroyed the video after checking."
Joshua looked at Vanessa with a meaningful look, thinking that after explaining to her what had happened, she got the video and destroyed it after she saw Joshua was telling the truth.
The problem was he had no other way to prove his innocence without the video.
"Joshua!" Garry suddenly snapped, "what will you say now? Do you still want to explain? You must use the one who destroyed the video. You are afraid the truth would be revealed, so you destroyed it."
"Yes! You know that there is no video already. So, you proposed to watch it!" Mabel added. "Admit what you have done to our daughter. In any case, you must be responsible for that!"
"Do these two things have any connection? You can't say Joshua did something to your daughter just because the video was destroyed." Hazel said angrily.
She was not going to let the Young family force Joshua to marry their daughter!
