Hazel Queen had loved her husband with all her heart for three years. But the one thing she never saw coming was the cold, shocking truth: he wanted a divorce because his mistress was pregnant. Heartbroken and betrayed, Hazel decides to move on and returns to Queen Corp, where she steps into her true role as the powerful female president, worth hundreds of millions. This revelation shocks her ex-husband, Damon Price, who never knew that the woman he left behind was the mastermind behind the famous Queen Corp—the Heiress of the Queen family, who had supposedly died in a fire three years ago.
View MoreOnce Damon finally wins Hazel over, he plans to find a similar estate where they can live together, just the two of them. “I didn’t realize it. So, these past few days, you’ve been observing all of this? I thought you were just bored,” he remarked. “However, we haven’t seen Harold these last couple of days. It seems like he left the day after he parted ways with Xander. If it weren’t for Xander constantly sending me messages, I would’ve thought he went after Xander,” Hazel replied. Since Xander returned to the country, he had been sending them messages, but Hazel and Damon were worried that their phones might be monitored, so they hadn’t responded to him. “Someone in his position should have a lot of things to do, right? Even though we don’t know what he’s busy with, we can use this time to test the estate’s security. It’d be great if we can escape, but if not, it’s no big deal,” Damon said, realizing something. “True, after all, he still needs somethin
After saying that, Hazel quickly rushed out of the room without daring to look back at Damon’s expression. Damon, still standing in the room, froze for a moment. After realizing that Hazel had been shy, he immediately got excited and jumped onto the bed. If someone like Hazel, with her personality, was shy in front of him, that meant he had a chance! So, it seemed that Hazel liked this kind of interaction. He figured that he’d have to create more opportunities for physical contact in the future. With this thought in mind, Damon began to plan his next move for creating physical contact with Hazel. Xander arrived at the airport, expecting that Harold would have someone follow him. To his surprise, he boarded the plane without any trouble. Of course, he wasn’t so arrogant as to think Harold wouldn’t foresee this, but he simply believed that Harold didn’t see him as a threat. Once back in the country, Xander immediately contacted the Price and C
“To be honest,” Hazel began after a moment of thought, “I do have some early memories of living with him when I was little. Back then, I remember feeling happy. But now... I don’t get that feeling from him at all.”Not only was there no sense of happiness, but Hazel also found herself increasingly uneasy in Harold’s presence.Whenever his gaze lingered on her, she felt an inexplicable discomfort, like her entire body was on edge.But even with this knowledge, it was impossible to confirm whether Harold was really Hazel's grandfather."Even if he’s not my grandfather, his connection to my mother must be significant. What should we do now? Damon is still with him, and I’m not sure if he’s holding onto him to lure us back or for some other reason.""But keeping us around—what does he even gain from that?"Hazel couldn’t figure it out. She only knew that Harold wanted something from her, something her parents had left behind. But as for what it
Harold wasn’t fooled. He had done his homework. Damon’s obsession with Hazel ran deep—he’d done far too much for her already.This offer would definitely tempt him.If not for the threat posed by Xander, Damon wouldn’t have followed Hazel all the way to Country D.Initially, Harold had planned to approach Xander for this deal. But the moment he realized Damon was here too, he shifted his focus.Compared to Xander, Damon had a more daring, all-or-nothing attitude.And when it came to business acumen, Damon was undoubtedly the better partner.“Hazel’s parents were actually researchers for an organization—key researchers, in fact,” Harold began, his tone low and deliberate. “They developed a drug capable of enhancing all human bodily functions. But here’s the catch—it requires the umbilical cord blood of a newborn as the catalyst.”“I’ve spent my entire life pursuing the key to immortality. Ever since I handed over my research to Hazel’s
Harold pressed his lips together and said, “We just met, so you might not know me that well yet. I’m a straightforward guy, not one for beating around the bush or making empty promises.” “Since I said I wanted to talk to you alone, I meant it. It’s about Hazel.” Damon’s expression turned serious. He suddenly remembered that this man was supposed to be Hazel’s grandfather. No matter how things stood between them, some respect was still due. After all, he wasn’t sure how his relationship with Hazel might develop in the future. If it turned out everything before was just a misunderstanding, there might come a time when they’d have to reconcile. If he burned bridges with Harold now, it’d just create another obstacle between him and Hazel later on. Straightening his posture, he looked Harold directly in the eye. “About Hazel? What about her?” “I know you were married to her before, and I know you hurt her. I also know you’re trying to win her bac
Hazel hadn't replied yet when Damon's message popped up first:[At a time like this, who cares about the voting meeting? You can’t even guarantee your safety, and you're still worried about work? Unbelievable.]Hazel smirked. Damon wasn’t even trying to hide his disdain for Xander.[I’ll talk to him about it first thing in the morning,] she replied. [Might as well use the opportunity to test how he feels about us leaving.][Fine. If we can leave, we’ll go; if not, I’ll just hold the meeting online.] Xander responded, clearly more focused on practicality.Damon frowned, his brows practically tied in a knot. He couldn’t fathom how these two could still discuss work while their lives were hanging by a thread.[Alright, enough. Go to bed. We need to get up early tomorrow,] he said, breaki
Hazel carefully examined the dishes on the table, and her face immediately darkened. These were not her favorite foods, but her mother Novaria's favorites, which meant that the man in front of her must have had a close relationship with her mother.Given that he knew her mother's favorite dishes so well, their relationship couldn’t just be described as ‘good’ anymore.They were either the closest of kin or each other’s greatest and most formidable enemies.Only these two kinds of people could know each other so thoroughly.From the way the man had acted toward her, Hazel guessed that his relationship with her mother was likely the former."What is your relationship with my parents? These dishes are all my mother's favorites, and you’re so familiar with her," Hazel asked, her voice cold, as if laced with poison. The thought that this man might be connected to her parents' accident made her heart feel as though it were being pricked by a thousand nee
"I think the same way. You should come too, and bring Xander Knox along with you. Don’t worry, I’m inviting you as guests because I want to learn something from you. As long as you cooperate, Hazel will be fine." "By the way, you should know the location, right? After all, you just left the estate. I’ll have someone meet you at the place you were earlier." Without waiting for Damon to respond, the person on the other end hung up. Damon held the phone for a long time without putting it down. He and Xander were close enough for Xander to hear the voice from the phone. In other words, every move they made was being monitored by this person. They were both CEOs—one of HX, the other of Price Corp—who were already regarded as elites in the eyes of ordinary people, but in this person’s eyes, they were no more significant than ants. "Well then, let’s head over. There’s really no better option right now, is there?" Xander said resignedly. Given the situati
Damon sat beside Hazel, his apologetic voice soft enough to make even himself feel uncomfortable. Hazel didn’t respond, and soon the atmosphere at the table became harmonious again, with no one speaking or making any inappropriate moves.After finishing the meal, Hazel said she needed to use the restroom, leaving only Damon and Xander at the table.This time, neither of them spoke. They both focused on their phones, and about ten minutes later, when Hazel still hadn’t returned, Damon started to sense that something was wrong."What’s going on? Hazel wouldn’t be feeling unwell, would she? You stay here, I’ll ask a waiter to check on her in the restroom."Xander, also sensing something was off, couldn’t stay seated. He stood up and followed a female waiter to the restroom area.They waited by the door while the waiter went inside to check if Hazel needed anything.To their surprise, the waiter came out alone after a quick check. "Sorry, gentle
Afternoon, Civil Affairs Bureau.A stunning woman in a high-slit red dress walked in. Her makeup was minimal, and her hair was styled in a low bun, leaving her elegant neck exposed. As she walked, her ankle flashed occasionally, teasingly.Hazel Queen’s sultry allure caught Damon Price by surprise. This was a far cry from the plain, simple Hazel he remembered.Hazel didn’t even glance at him as she walked straight to the counter.The staff member looked around nervously. “Are you two sure about this? Once you sign, and the stamp is on, it’s over.”Hazel flashed a smile. “Do you really want to hold on to something you don’t even want? It’s trash.”Damon’s eyes, cold as ice, fixed on her. As if he could burn a hole right through her.She just called him trash?But Hazel paid him no mind. Her hand signed the papers without a second thought, her signature flowing, neat, and beautiful. To Damon, it felt like a thorn in his chest, sinking deep.He hadn’t expected her to agree so easily. Ha!...
