"Hanson is your son. How could you do this to him?" Hazel couldn't suppress her anger. She glared at him and clenched her fists.Jobson didn't wait for a second to answer her question. "You're right. He's my son. That's exactly why he should do what I tell him to do." His voice sounded cold and ruthless.When they stepped out of the elevator, eight tall and brawny men in black stopped them and stood in their way."What are you doing?" Jobson sounded alarmed. Seeing the men in front of them, he thought they looked dangerous."You can leave now. We'll take Miss Hazel with us," one of the men said flatly. Their mere presence turned the whole atmosphere tense.Jobson glanced at Hazel and thought, 'Did this woman get into any other trouble?These guys seem to be from a powerful family. I only have two bodyguards with me. If anything happens, we won't stand a chance. I should go.Besides, whatever happens to this woman won't have anything to do with me. If she died, then it would all work o
"Hazel!" With a cunning smile, he welcomed her as if surprised. "I didn't expect I'd see you here. Although, if you came here to talk about Hanson, you can leave. His wedding will be held next week. Until then, you're not allowed to see him." He lit a cigar and glared at her with a fiendish look.Unfazed, Hazel let out a faint smile on her face. "You have misunderstood, Mr. Jobson. Believe it or not, I'm here to help you save Bella."Hearing what she said, he laughed faintly and scoffed. "Ha! Just you?" Jobson shook his head, trying to erase the sneer on his face.Hazel looked at him and suddenly smiled, as though she was mocking him in return. Her voice emanated with confidence and she said, "Do you really think you can fight against the Emperor Group by marrying Hanson to the daughter of the Yang family? As far as I know, Mr. Yang is quite crafty and cunning. Think about it—if the stocks of the Yang Group suddenly plummeted, and he realized that it was because of the shady business
The moment Hanson was released, he rushed to the apartment to look for Hazel. However, she wasn't there, and all he found was an empty room. When he came out the door, he received a message from Hazel."Hanson, I apologize. I can't run off to Italy with you. After thinking it over, I've changed my mind. I am now the lady of the honorable Rong family. I have gained so much power from my affiliation with this family, and the possibilities are limitless. It would not be worth it to give it all up to become a nobody. Perhaps, like other women, I also like the idea of materialism and vanity. I neither have the confidence nor courage to start off in a new place with nothing. I know that love is valuable, but bread is more important to survive. If I were to choose one, I would rather choose bread. There was a time I resented you for choosing Bella over our love, but I now understand that you were in fact making the righteous choice. We could only be happy if we had wealth and power. If we ha
He placed the magazine on his bedside table and turned his eyes towards her, placing his head an inch away from her. His eyes seemed even darker than the dark night sky that Hazel could see through the window."You don't believe me?" he asked.There was a bit of mockery when she rolled her eyes and answered, "Why should I believe a person who has lied to me?"He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not? A man had once abandoned you but you came back into his arms again, didn't you?""He only did that because he had to," she pouted."Well, the same goes for me," he whispered softly, as if he was only talking to himself.She sneered and said, "You deserve it." She suffered through so much hardship and misfortune ever since he met her. It was unfair that she was forced to help him while he controlled and fooled around with others.His face started to seem overcast and his eyes got even deeper. He asked with a soft, gloomy tone, "Why do you love him so much? Is he really better than me?"Sh
"You idiot, if you want me all to yourself, then you can just say so. You don't need to be jealous." His teasing tone hid his disdain and dissatisfaction toward her.Hazel shot up from the bed and glared at him with hands on her hips. "I have no interest in you whatsoever," she ground out angrily. "I'm a neat freak. I hate it when you lay your hands on me after touching another woman. Never touch me again, you filthy person!""So I should guard my purity for you?" He turned around, resting his chin on one hand, and gazed at her playfully.Hazel rolled her eyes. "It is called clean living. If you go out all day and mess around with someone else, God knows what sort of diseases you might catch." She snorted.He reached out his hand and stroked her head. With a worried look on his face, he said, "You idiot, I find that you are more and more stupid. It's really troublesome."Troublesome? That word again?If Hazel never heard that word again in her entire life, then that would still be too
She pouted secretly, deliberating whether she would give Zac his due. She was tempted to deliver a blow to his pride and say that the other noodles were far superior to his, but the angel inside wanted her to play nice. She only smiled and said, "Your noodles taste different, but this is delicious." After saying that, she busied herself in eating and ignored him.He was not disappointed at all. As long as his wife appreciated his cooking, the whole morning's hard work was not in vain.After eating the noodles, she patted her tummy in satisfaction. Then, she decided to go shopping with Eva.In those days, Eva had been staying in Dragon City to participate in the initial screening for 'War Emperor.' Now, she had succeeded in reaching the semi-finals.Hazel was determined to go shopping crazily using the credit card ice guy had given her.Hazel and Eva arrived at Time Square. As the first order of the day, Hazel made a beeline for the Patek Philippe store to buy a watch for fun.Eva was
"Okay. How about I spend five million for you tomorrow?" Hazel tried if she could provoke him to change his mind. Sadly for her, Zac just continued smiling at her with love in his eyes. He replied in a soft voice, "The card belongs to you. Spend as you like. You don't need to let me know what you did with it.""If I spent five million a day, would you go bankrupt?" she asked."You idiot, I will always make far more money than you could ever spend. How would I go bankrupt?" He shook his head with a smile, her words amusing him.And that was when she began to feel that what she did today was very childish. Her fighting spirit died a quiet death. She had spent the whole day trying to piss him off. Unexpectedly, he didn't even frown. She wanted to hide in the corner and draw circles to curse him.It was one a quarter million dollars! If that amount of money was donated to the poor, it could help a few children who were forced to drop out of school out of poverty. How could she spend every
He was playing up their affection, knowing everyone was watching them.Ivy and Daisy looked at each other as they rubbed their arms. "Oh, my God! I'm getting goose bumps all over. I know that 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'. But please don't rub it into our faces. I'm still single. Okay?""When you get yourself a boyfriend, you might be more clingy than them." Daisy giggled.Ivy sniffed as she said, "I only have eyes for Hanson. As for other boys, I have no interest in them." She propped her chin with both hands. She didn't notice the cold aura from Zac beside her.How dare Ivy brought this up!Valery was livid with rage as they taunted her with a scene she knew she would never be a part of. Her features twisted hideously. She said, "Ivy, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Your Hanson is already in love with someone else," Her voice was dripping with malice and she fixed her eyes on Hazel coldly.Hazel was shocked. Was it possible that Valery had known about her and Hanson?But
