"Who?" Hazel was caught in a daze after hearing that."Jim," Zac said slowly."Is he another investor?" She took another pause again."The producer and the leading man," Zac replied nonchalantly."Oh my god!"Hazel screamed.The last time they were all together, Eva had a bad fight with Jim because of Hazel. She was sure that Jim must still be holding a grudge against Eva from that incident. Now, even if Zac had been able to persuade Jim to make Eva the heroine, Jim would probably give her a hard time. Eva was so quick tempered that they would have found something else to fight over with.She cast a glance at the person beside her before she cleared her throat and said, "Do you think I would follow his unspoken rules?" Before she could finish her words, a cold light was shot through her. Zac had an intention to kill someone and it might be her at the wrong end of the gun.She shrank into herself, a survival instinct. Well, this joke was getting a bit out of hand."Last time at the sce
Hazel made honey-baked chicken especially for Holy. She placed a chicken leg on his plate and said, "Enjoy! Be careful, it's hot.""Thank you." Holly nodded with a smile. He blew on the drumstick and took a bite. "It's so delicious!""I'll roast beef ribs for you next." Hazel stroked his head affectionately.With a playful smile, Eva came up to Zac and murmured, "How soon are you getting married?"Zac cleared his throat and said slowly, "It's just happening."Eva grinned. "You must have developed love while living together. You two make a perfect match. Ever since I saw you together, I knew that you would make a great couple, but I did not expect your relationship to progress this fast."A corner of his mouth quirked up. "You know my style has always involved quick fights and quick decisions."Eva gave a thumbs up and said, "That's exactly why Hanson lost to you."At the other end of the party, Ivy ran to Hazel, who was then barbecuing for Holy, and asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn't y
Hazel wiped the sweat off her forehead. Her carelessness just gave Zac the opening he needed."Well... How about I make you some braised tenderloin with radish? Would you like that?" she asked, trying to sound normal.He shook his head, his expression still mischievous."I'll cook whatever you want to eat. But I'm afraid I can't do anything else for you," she continued. He lowered his head to kiss her pout. "Do you really think a few dishes could keep me away?""Don't get too greedy." She pushed away his arms and stood up. "If you're thinking you can bed me with your attempts, just stop. I'm not the one for you. There are many women there who could warm your bed better than I could." But before she could finish her unnecessary explanation, she found that she had fallen into his trap. Frowning slightly at her, he asked, "Is that what you want? For me to find another woman?""I don't want to, but I'm sure you will," Hazel replied. Great and powerful men like Zac always attracted gorgeou
Although Hazel had already stayed in the villa for several days now, she had never been to other bedrooms except the one she was in. To quench her curiosity, she decided to go around and explore a little bit. One by one, she opened all the doors she saw and cautiously peered inside.The moment she finished doing that, she felt her blood boiling inside of her. She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs.'All the beds here are exactly the same!' she thought, fuming. 'They only have different sizes!'Zac had her fooled!She walked into their room in a huff. Zac had just taken a bath then and was lying on the bed, playing a game on his iPad.With arms akimbo, Hazel glared at him. "I want to change my bed!" she hollered. "I want the biggest one! The one in the next room! If you don't change it, I will sleep in the next room starting tonight! I am not joking!"Zac's deep-set eyes widened in surprised.'How did she find out my little secret that fast!' he thought.He took a deep breath as
The afternoon rays of sunshine shone into the room through the opened curtains and woke Hazel from her sleep.She yelped. She felt dizzy and her bones felt as if they had been torn off her and re-installed and they were in danger of falling apart any time.She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a handsome face beside her."You're awake." The man rested his head on one of his hands and looked at her with a playful expression. There was laziness and satisfaction in his eyes."When did you come back?" Hazel was a little surprised. Wasn't he planning on ignoring her? Why did he come to her again?"Honey, why do you always snap at a critical moment?"The coldness from his fingers gave Hazel a chill. She took a look at her body under the quilt quickly.Oh my God! She was..."Zac, you... You..." She felt both annoyed and ashamed at the same time. Suddenly her face was covered with a burning sensation and she buried her head into the quilt like a snail. Then, she said, "Zac, you took advantage
Elizabeth sent Sage to serve Valery again. She believed that she was the most suitable person to serve her daughter.That woman had a lot of evil ideas and was bold. More than that, her entire family was dependent on Valery's family, so she would not be easily bought off by others.When Zac kicked her, she had to stay in the hospital for a week. So at first, she was afraid to go to Zac's house again, but when Elizabeth offered to give her a small house to live in in the future, she immediately agreed.People died for money, and rats died for food!She swore to help Valery kick the tramp out even if at the expense of her own life.At that moment, Hazel was having a stroll with Zac in the garden. Mary had asked them to stay for dinner. Zac wanted to turn her down since he wanted to have dinner in his own villa, out of sight and out of mind. But to his surprise, Hazel agreed without hesitation."Honey, let's have dinner at our own home, just the two of us," Zac suggested as he took a sea
Hazel found her father-in-law very kind and amiable, and he always seemed to look out for her. Once it was time for her to get a divorce with Zac, she would feel very sorry for him.On the other hand, Zac was also full of admiration for his dad. No wonder Albert was the head of the family—he was so wise.While the servants were serving dinner, Zac said in a careless tone, "Hazel likes having a lively atmosphere, and thinks living in a house with just me is too lonely, so we decided to move back.""It's time you went home." Albert gave his son a subtle smile.At the dinner table, Valery was actually the most upset one. If Hazel's role and status had been consolidated, she was an even bigger threat to her. The more power Hazel had, the more threatened Valery became.In the evening, Zac accompanied his father to his study to play chess.Meanwhile, Hazel watched some TV with Ivy. When she heard that there were a few new Epiphyllum flowers in the garden and that they bloomed at 9:00 every
In a panic, Hazel covered herself with a towel and asked, "How did you get in?" She distinctly remembered locking the door."I have the key." Zac smiled mischievously. Then he came over to her and took her into his arms. Feeling the cold temperature of her body, he paused and asked, "Are you cold?"After getting wet in the rain, how could she not feel cold?"Let go of me. I need to change my clothes." She tried to push him away as hard as she could but she ended up grunting in pain. She had accidentally pulled on her injured knee after putting in all her strength to push him.It was not until then that Zac noticed that her knees were still bleeding. He guided her towards the bed and helped her sit down. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the wet clothes on the floor. He frowned and asked, "What happened?""I got wet in the rain when I went to see the Epiphyllum, and I fell on the ground on my way back," Hazel said in a casual tone.Zac stroked her head tenderly then t
Hazel clutched the lipstick gun and was ready to attack.Just when the tall and thin man was one meter away from them, a loud bang was heard. His left eye was bleeding immediately. He fell to the ground in a howl and rolled on the ground with his hands covering his eyes. At the same time, he screamed like a pig.One of the punks screamed. Sam put his hands over his head and squatted down in fear of being hit.Hazel glanced at Pana, and the latter shook her head and said, "no, it’s not me."Hearing the footsteps behind them, the two of them looked back in a hurry.A group of awe inspiring men in black were walking towards them. The leading one, tall and straight, with an imposing manner was Zac. Wearing a pair of big sunglasses, he looked more cold and gloomy. He held a gun in his hand, and the bullet came from it.The punks dropped their swords and were to run away. They had never been frightened like this before. Soon they were surrounded by the black men, with guns pointing at their
Seeing Vinton's expression, Essie took the opportunity and said, "actually, your sister has told me that if you are appointed to the chairman of the company, she won't take out the Commission. After all, you are the eldest son of the Xu family and she is a daughter. Even if she was appointed to be the chairman, she can only take charge of the company on behalf of others. Sooner or later, the Xu's Group will be handed over to you. But she didn't expect that it was your mother who wanted to be the chairman, so she had to stop her. The Xu's Group belonged to Xu family and any chairman of it must have the Xu family's last name. You see, in the ancient times, when Empress Wu became the emperor, all the people of the Wu family came out to fight for the throne. If your mother takes the throne, the members of her family will definitely join the board of directors. By then, you are not sure if you can be the chairman easily. "The more Vinton heard, the more he thought that Essie's words made

Zac darkened his face.'Holy, can you stop being a jerk?'"You little boy, what do you know?" Zac rubbed Holy's hair indignantly."A fair lady is a gentleman's good mate! Sister Hazel is so beautiful and excellent that there are so many men chasing her. If you don't take action now, she will surely be taken away by someone." Holy laughed cunningly, deliberately making him feel threatened.A touch of rage flitted across his face. He knew that Hanson was annoying enough. Now even his biological brother wanted to ruin his reunion with Hazel. Humph, nobody can take his woman. Nor can his own brother."You brat, I think you should remind your sister that a rich and handsome man like me is always chased by women. If she doesn't take the initiative, I can't guarantee that I will keep a integrity for her all the time." He also had to give this puzzled and empty look a top, let her sober up and have a sense of crisis.Taking another gulp of tea, she couldn't help but spit it out. She heard jok
Zac walked quickly to them, leaving Leila behind. "Why are you two together?" He asked and frowned slightly."Why can't we be together?" Hazel retorted sourly."Zac, since you have divorced, we are just ordinary friends. And about what happened to Hazel, you don't need to ask more." Walt said slowly, distancing himself from Hazel.They were not friends. Hazel corrected him in her heart. Zac told her in person that they only had business relationship at the moment.There was a touch of melancholy on the face of Zac. Was his brother going to take advantage of his weakness and swoop in? Even if it was Zac's own brother, Walt would never have an idea on his wife. When he was about to speak, Leila walked to him from behind and put her hand in his arm. "Brother Zac, let's go to the bar counter for a drink?" She dragged him away on purpose.Looking at them, Hazel was furious and said, "excuse me." After saying that, she walked away with Walt arm in arm.Pulling his arm out of her grip, Zac i
"I... I just want to have a look at him. After all, I was pregnant for ten months and I miss him. " Said Valery in a pitiful voice."It seems that you are very sober and not mad." Zac snorted. If not for Rabi's sake, he would never let her live so comfortably."I... I took medicine every day. After taking medicine, I became clear headed. " Of course, Valery wasn't mad. She just pretended to be mad because she was afraid that Zac would punish her."Rabi has nothing to do with you. From now on, stay away from him." Zac warned."Got it." Said Valery in a trembling voice."Get out, as far as you can." When Zac growled, Valery just ran out like a rat. Her heart was full of hatred. She would try to get back what Hazel owed to her.Rabi didn't cry at the moment. As a child, he didn't remember what had happened just now. With the comfort of Hazel, he forgot what he had seen just now and suggested going to take the ferris wheel.The ferris wheel had special meaning to Hazel and Zac. It was the
Seeing her hesitation, Zac knew that the pajama was designed by herself. This muddle headed woman had always been confident in her fashion taste and design level. Even if someone doubted her, she didn't care. She just pretended that she didn't appreciate it. How could she be so depressed? Was it because...He couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth unconsciously. "Do you care about my opinion very much?""I... I don't. " She lowered her head in a hurry, as if his guess was right, and her long eyelashes covered her sparkling eyes. She didn't understand why, but she cared about his thoughts very much. She didn't care when others doubted her taste and disliked her design. She just hoped... He liked it.Her evasive look convinced him of something. "I see. You put on your night robe deliberately, and the trick is now covering up. You want me to see your gown inside."Hazel was almost pass out. If he was such a imaginative man, why not to be an screenwriter?"Don't think too much. I
"I'm in charge of this project now. If I don't come, who else can?" Hazel rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "don't look down upon me! You are such an idiot to do clothes design for me!".Zac handed her a architectural design drawing. "Well, then please make a specific presentation."Hazel was dumbfounded. She was just a rookie and didn't know how to do the professional issues like design, construction and cost.Zac sneered, "don't tell me. You can't even understand the design drawing."'I really can't understand it.' Hazel thought in her heart. "I'm now the executive of the company and in charge of whatever comes into view. The project team of Hengyuan has arrived in C Island two days ago. They will report the specific development to you.""You know nothing! Aren't you afraid that they may fool you?" Zac gazed at her with sharp eyes."Malcolm will check on it." She lowered her voice, lack of confidence. She had been under
"Don't you have someone with you tonight?" Hazel stared at him angrily and found that Leila was not with him at the moment. She should be going to the makeup room to fix her makeup."Do you really want me to be with another woman?" He frowned slightly and felt a little displeased."It's none of my business whether you have women or not, but I'm a neat freak. Stay away from me if you touch other women. Don't make me dirty." She turned her head angrily and looked away from him. Thinking of the image that he made out with Leila, she was filled with anger and wanted to give him a punch.There was a sparkle in his dark eyes. He reached out and held her in his arms."What are you doing? Everyone is watching us. " Hazel felt ashamed and annoyed and wanted to push him away in a hurry. But she couldn't get rid of him because of his strong arms. "Everyone knows that you are my wife. Even if I have you now, nobody dares to say no.""Your ex-wife." F
