Chapter 496: Search Her Body

Chapter 496: Search Her Body

“No, I’m not leaving!” She struggled ‘hard.’ Due to her struggle, the group of people still stood in front of him, not moving much.

She adjusted the position of being caught so that her clothes were ‘inadvertently’ rippled a little, making her whole person look a bit more charming.

The men who caught her stared at her chest with all their eyes, but they felt somewhat scornful in the heart. Even though Madeline paid them some money in advance, they could see that Joshua was not interested in her at all!

She had tried to show her weakness, ask Joshua for help, and even goad Joshua, but Joshua remained unconcerned and didn’t have the intention of meddling at all.

Madeline still wanted to seduce him now? Very likely, she would just ask for an insult herself. If seduction could work, she should have been able to succeed in seducing Joshua before they showed up, shouldn’t she?

Besides, these people also had sharp eyes. They could see that Joshua was likely very good at fighting. They were unnecessarily able to defeat him. It wasn’t because he was scared that he did not meddle, but because he didn’t like her at all!

Just like now, Joshua didn’t even give her a look!

Madeline’s heart went cold. Joshua’s ignoring her made her seduction a complete joke!

No, she would not allow herself to fail like this!

“Can you leave me alone on your conscience under these circumstances, Sir?” She gritted her teeth and made one last effort. “Aren’t you afraid that something like this would happen to your wife or your daughter, and no one would help them?!”

Joshua’s eyes went dark instantly!

No one was allowed to curse Hazel in front of him. Madeline totally made him lose all his patience!

“Fine, I’ll help,” Joshua spoke coldly.

Madeline was so delighted that she could hardly contain herself and almost screamed. The progress didn’t work out well, she finally got Joshua to agree to help! Even if she felt a little uneasy, she still suppressed the uneasy feeling.

Several men breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought they wouldn’t get all the money this time. They had intended to leave as long as Joshua raised his hand directly. The money this time was the hardest to get for them!

But when Joshua did raise his hand, they suddenly found that they could not leave at all!

Because after he raised his hand, a number of bodyguards suddenly emerged and directly surrounded them.

Madeline was completely bewildered. This was totally different from what she had imagined!

The burly men were aware of the danger. All of them darted, intending to leave, but they were no match for the bodyguards at all. Soon, they were all caught by these bodyguards.

Madeline was a little panic-stricken. No matter how dull she was, she could see that the situation was not right. Why did Joshua catch all the burly men? What exactly was he trying to do?

Madeline approached Joshua and asked, puzzled, “Sir, what are you... ah!”

As soon as she spoke, the bodyguards next to Joshua caught her.

“What are you going to do?! Let me go!” Madeline paled. “I’m the victim!”

But the bodyguard did not listen to her. No matter how she struggled, they did not let her go.

Joshua led the bodyguards back to the door of his suite, but suddenly he stopped.

Even if he had to deal with this woman, he couldn’t do it in the suite where he and Hazel lived. He wouldn’t let such an unknown woman contaminate his room.

“Search her body,” Joshua’s cool eyes fell on Madeline’s body.

The bodyguard who caught Madeline immediately reached for her pocket.

“What are you doing?!” Madeline was furious and annoyed. Little did she know that Joshua would suddenly have her body searched! Even if he wanted to do that, why didn’t Joshua search her body herself? He was simply humiliating her by asking a bodyguard to do it now!

Most of all, she had her room card on her! What would Joshua think of her if he found her room card and even found out that she lived opposite his room?

Madeline’s heart was cold. She didn’t think Joshua would be obtuse enough to think it was all a coincidence. But what she was afraid of happened— the bodyguard searched her just for her room card.

Soon the bodyguard found a room card from her body and handed it to Joshua.

Joshua’s eyes went dark as he saw the room number on the room card.

It was actually right opposite his room. Sure enough, this woman targeted him from the very beginning!

Joshua opened Madeline’s room and took all the people to go inside. He sat down calmly on the sofa in the sitting room. His whole person appeared matchless noble like a king, untouchable.

“Tell me, who sent you here?” Joshua asked in a deep tone.

Madeline looked a little paler, but even at this moment, she still couldn’t give up. Even if Joshua asked, how could she tell the truth?

“I, I don’t know what you’re talking about….” She forced a smile. “Thank you, Sir, for bringing me back. You may leave now...”

Joshua looked impatiently away from her face and turned to look at the burly men who were under control. “Go ahead.”

The strong men were a little timid, but after all, they had already taken some of the money, so they said stubbornly, “We only took a fancy to this woman. Since you have saved her, we will admit defeat!”

Joshua’s cold eyes were a little more impatient. He waved coolly at the bodyguard, “Give you five minutes to teach them what honesty is!”

The bodyguards said yes. Joshua stood up and went straight back to his room. After a simple washing, he changed into clean clothes.

Five minutes later, he returned to Madeline’s room. The burly men were black and blue, their eyes full of fear.

The moment they saw Joshua, they all cried out in panic, “I’ll confess, I’ll confess! This is the woman who gave us the money to act with her cooperatively.”

“Shut up! Don’t try to smear me!” Madeline was livid with anger and snapped to stop them.

But those people wouldn’t listen to her now. Money was a good thing, but they had to survive first. In their eyes, Joshua was much scarier than Madeline. Like making a clean breast of everything, they told Joshua everything Madeline had told them to do.

“False, all false! Don’t believe...” Madeline was flustered and exasperated. She wanted to defend herself, but she didn’t know how to.

“I’ll give you one more chance,” Joshua said, looking at Madeline coldly, his eyes turning colder. “Who sent you here?!”

“No, no one sent me...” She gritted her teeth, stubborn. “I just was in danger and met you by accident. Even if you do not want to help me, you ought not to doubt me like that...”
