"She went back yesterday." There was a hint of coldness in Zac's tone. He frowned slightly as if he didn't want to talk about Leila.
Hazel wondered if he had explained the whole marriage thing to her.Did he tell Leila the truth that they were just acting to put her mind at ease?'Forget it. It's none of my business,' Hazel comforted herself in mind.Then, she stretched out her hand to look at the brilliant ring on it. "Is this a crystal or a diamond?" she asked Zac.Leila must have recognized it at a glance. She was a jewelry designer and a professional jewelry assessor. No wonder she acted so weird when she saw it.'I really don't know what's going on in this guy's mind. He gave me a diamond ring and made me showcase it in front of his girlfriend. Is he trying to play a game?' she wondered.What was worse, it was a very valuable diamond. How could he let her wear it? Wasn't he afraid that she would lose it?FoThat name.No one was more familiar with it than she was.She was the only one who knew all there was to know about it because she bore that name for seven whole years.Hazel's real name was Cathy Xu.After divorcing Baron, her mother changed her name to Lucy in the hopes of forgetting her past life and starting a new one. After she married Bob, Hazel offered to change her name in order to ease her mother's conflict with her new grandparents. Since her mother's second marriage, they had severed ties with their original family and become members of the new family wholeheartedly.However, did she actually become engaged to that ice guy?Wasn't this the biggest joke of the century?How come she never knew about it?He was eleven years old then, while she was only six years of age. At that time, Elizabeth took her son and daughter and became part of the family. Hazel and her elder sister Alice were too busy fighting
Valery was no competition for Hazel, so she definitely had to help her out!At that moment, Valery rushed toward Zac to look at the document. She was unbelieving until she saw the clear photo and name on the marriage certificate. Hysterical, she clamped her hands over her ears, screamed like a banshee, and promptly lost consciousness.Zac alertly caught Valery in his arms before she crumpled to the floor. "Call the doctor," he instructed the hovering house help and then carried her into a guest room.Of course, his sole concern was the baby, not the mother.Elizabeth and Mary also followed him to take care of the patient.Hazel stayed in the living room alone. It was unnecessary for her to enter the room, anyway.Albert did not move an inch; he only took a sip of tea and examined his daughter-in-law.The girl spoke not a single word from beginning to end. She was quiet as a breeze, seemingly trying to shrink until she was out of sight, but the fact w
Never!Thanks to his so-called mediocrity, she didn't feel any pressure whenever she was with him. She was able to get along with him, joke with him, and even argue with him. It was also because of his "mediocrity" that she felt like they were from the same world, and that she was able to put her trust in him.There had been a lot of ups and downs in her life. She had gone from a girl with a well-known and rich family to a girl with a small house in the middle of nowhere. And to be honest, she preferred the latter one.It was said that jade was the apple of the eyes of people from wealthy families, but the truth was, people from wealthy families all had two faces: one was ugly, while the other was gorgeous and fake.What was the difference between Zac and those people?"I'll only do what I need to, and I'll act how I should. Nothing more." Hazel's voice was cold and distant, and there was a trace of bitterness in it. She fixed her eyes outside the window, re
'I guess rich mothers-in-law really are cunning and brilliant,' Hazel thought.Her first gandmother might have been bossy and arrogant, but to Hazel, Mrs. Mary seemed like a wolf in sheep's clothing. It would be easier to please the likes of her grandmother than to deal with someone like Zac's mom.'I should probably keep my eyes on her so I can figure out her next move. Otherwise, I might find myself in danger.' Hazel held her breath.This time, Zac didn't oppose her. He always did things in a proper way to avoid humiliating his mother in front of others. Zac looked at Hazel and nodded slightly, and then she walked up to Mary and sat beside her.Valery walked towards Zac and smugly took the seat beside him. She always took comfort in the fact that his family had regarded her as someone who had the only right to be by his side. That even though Hazel was his legal wife, she still wouldn't be acknowledged and would only be considered as his mistress. Mistr
Hazel didn't know if there was actually a ghost, but there was one thing she knew for certain: there was a hidden secret in the yard.As they walked towards the pavilion, they saw Daisy coming from the bamboo forest path. Ivy waved her over, and they all sat around the stone table in the pavilion. Once they were settled down, they asked the servants to bring them some afternoon tea."The moment Zac came back, the whole house became bustling with noise." An ironic smile appeared on Daisy's face."I really can't stand Valery anymore. Is it such a big deal to be pregnant? Isabella already has three sons, but Richard hasn't married her yet," Ivy said."I agree. I don't even know how she got pregnant. The woman Zac loves is none other than Leila." In Daisy's eyes, Zac and Leila were perfect for each other."No. Zac is in love with Hazel now. He has already moved on from Leila." Ivy made a face and stuck out her tongue at Daisy. It seemed like they didn't agree wi
Elizabeth was so angry that she nearly burst into a frenzy. She didn't expect Zac to be so ruthless towards her. "You are engaged to Valery and she is pregnant with your child. Don't you think it's your responsibility to take care of her?""I'll take care of the baby. As for her..." A hint of sarcasm flitted over Zac's face. "Since you have so much free time, why don't you take some time to teach her a lesson? If she wants to be a daughter-in-law of our family, she should be kind, tolerant, and generous. Such a wicked and domineering woman like her wouldn't even be wanted by beggars on the side of the road, so how can you expect her to get into our family?"Elizabeth's face was now as red as a ripe apple with a tinge of purple and brown. She took a deep breath and swallowed hard, trying very hard to calm herself down. Elizabeth knew that if she provoked him further, she would get nothing from him. If she really wanted to drive Hazel away, she had to turn to Mary.Wi
In the afternoon, Hazel drew a few design sketches and gave them to Ivy to let her choose which one she wanted.She had designed each one according to Ivy's figure, skin tone, and temperament. Ivy liked every one of them, and couldn't decide which one to choose, so she asked Daisy for some help.Daisy looked at the design sketches and liked the vintage European chiffon skirt and the embroidered long skirt with Eastern lace very much. "Both of these are very beautiful, but since you have long legs, why don't you go with the short skirt?""Haha, I think this short skirt would suit me, too." With a smile, Ivy made her decision.Hearing this, Hazel nodded. Then, she turned to Daisy and said, "That lace embroidered long dress would look very good on you. I can make that dress for you with the same pattern as Ivy's dress to make your dresses look like sister outfits.""Really? That would be great! Daisy, we shall wear our sister outfits for my birthday party," Ivy
'Is Valery that well-prepared to get into the family?' Hazel sneered in her mind. It seemed like Valery could do anything without scruple as long as she had her mother-in-law's support.Should Hazel try her best to please the rich mother-in-law as well? But given the present situation, even if she did whatever she could to please Mary, Hazel would not be able to change her mind.Elizabeth was her best friend, and she saw Valery as her own daughter. More than that, Valery also had Mary's grandson in her belly. How could an outsider like Hazel stand a chance?It was much more realistic for her to suck up to her father-in-law because he didn't seem to like Elizabeth and her daughter very much.Zac didn't say a word. If his mother insisted on doing things that would push him away, he would leave with Hazel.In the afternoon, before Elizabeth left, she sent Sage, one of her family's servants, to take care of Valery and help her deal with Hazel.Sage had been
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
