"How about this," said Adam, "I'll help you this time, and in the future, if I need anything for work, you'll be the first one I call."

Hazel froze for a moment. Adam was referring to work-related matters, which on the surface seemed harmless, but something about his words made her uneasy. Maybe it was the fact that he hadn’t explicitly mentioned what kind of help he would need, which left her feeling a bit anxious.

"Don’t worry, it won’t negatively affect your company. We’re just making a verbal agreement. If it ever goes against your principles, you can always refuse," he added with a reassuring smile.

Hazel relaxed, the tension in her chest finally easing. She was a person of integrity, and the thought of breaking her word never crossed her mind. Only after Adam pointed it out did she realize the possibility of not following through on an agreement, though she had never considered it before.

"Since you've said that, I have no further concerns. If there's ever

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   No One To Trust

    "With all this, you didn’t buy your own portion beforehand, did you? Still not afraid I might not let you in?" If she had known her room would be this messy, perhaps Hazel wouldn't have let Damon in. "Well, I'm just here to win you over and ask for your forgiveness. Nothing wasted," Damon replied, placing some food into Hazel's plate—the same foods she loved before their divorce. As he remembered, he couldn't help but feel guilty. Hazel had often reminded him to bring her food, but he always forgot. Sometimes, he'd remember halfway, but didn't want to bother, so he'd just tell her at home that he forgot and let the housekeeper make something instead. Just thinking about the look she gave him back then made him feel ashamed. "By the way, what happened when you were taken to that person's place the other night? What did you two talk about? I know you’re trying to avoid telling me, but I've done some digging, and I think some things could be useful for you." Si

    "Sorry, I was just lost in thought. What did you say?" Hazel had moved quite a distance away, yet Damon still felt a tingling sensation on his chin. Even when Hazel spoke to him, he was slow to respond. "Oh, I was asking if the thing that person mentioned could be something your parents left behind in the secret room." Damon had visited Hazel's family secret room before and had a general idea of what was inside, though they hadn’t thoroughly checked if there were any other items hidden there. "If we could figure out what your parents left, it would give us some leverage. Then, we wouldn’t be at the mercy of others," he continued. The Price family’s connection to this person wasn’t significant yet, but Hazel’s safety was still an unknown. If those people were behind her parents' accident, then Hazel was likely in danger as well. Perhaps they were holding back from harming her because they couldn’t find what they were looking for. "I’ll go back and search. Thi

    When Hazel arrived as agreed, Amber had already been waiting at a window-side table. Since they weren't discussing anything secret, Amber had purposely chosen an open hall, selecting the window seat to ensure a spacious environment where their conversation wouldn’t become awkward. Before Hazel could sit down, the waiter arrived with the dishes Amber had already ordered. In no time, the food began to arrive—everything was dishes that Hazel loved. At first, Hazel thought Amber might be trying to assert some kind of dominance by ordering all the dishes, but it turned out they were all her favorites. However, upon further thought, Hazel realized that this wasn’t necessarily a kind gesture. Given that she and Amber were on opposing sides, it wasn’t a good thing to have her rival know so much about her preferences. "It seems like Agent Amber knows me quite well. I haven’t even arrived yet, and all the dishes are my favorites," Hazel remarked with a smile, noticing

    "That’s a real shame. I owe Adele a favor, so it looks like a partnership between us will never come to be," Amber replied, her voice calm but tinged with disappointment. The two continued eating, talking about work and life, sharing a mix of trivial and significant stories, but never once touching on the business collaboration that had been the focal point of their meeting. As the meal came to a close, and with the table nearly cleared, they continued chatting for a while longer. It wasn’t until Hazel had finished her meal that she stood up to leave. Just as she got into the car, Omar’s call came through. "Hazel, I’ve unlocked a new video from the hard drive. Do you have time? Come back to the villa, I’ll show it to you." Previously, Omar had always sent Hazel the videos directly, but this time, he asked her to come over to see it, which suggested that this new content was far more complicated than the last. "Alright, I’m free right now. I’ll mee

    When Omar had been at his peak in the organization, he had been a mid-level manager. While he had come up with several successful management strategies and ways to help the organization secure more funding, he had never been privy to the full scope of the group’s secrets. At the time, Omar had suggested a method for the organization to help capable individuals start their businesses. Once their ventures succeeded, they were required to contribute research funds to the organization. That’s how the Price family enterprise came to be, and as it turned out, this strategy worked well. After all, Price Corp still allocated a substantial sum every year to the organization. If the Queen family were still under Jacob’s leadership, they too would be contributing a large research fund to the organization every year. Research, especially in pharmaceuticals, is costly. Without ways to raise funds, the organization’s projects would be impossible to advance. "I

    Seeing the woman leaning in closer, Damon quickly turned and walked to the sofa beside his grandfather."What’s going on? Who is she? Why is everyone looking at me like this?"The looks from his family, combined with the woman’s face, gave Damon an uneasy feeling.He had just gotten rid of Delilah—was another troublesome person about to show up?"Damon, you really don’t remember me? It’s me, Chrissy Winslow! We used to play together all the time when we were kids, don’t you remember?"Back when the Price family hadn’t moved to Vernon, they lived next door to the Winslow family. Damon and Chrissy were childhood friends, practically growing up together. However, Damon was always more reserved and rarely spoke, so most of the time, it was Chrissy who chased after him."You’re Chrissy? But back then..."Damon’s voice trailed off as he suddenly recalled something—Chrissy had a noticeable birthmark on her face as a child, and her features d

    After hanging up the phone, Damon sat in his room for a while, trying to calm down. He guessed that Agatha and the others would soon see the news online. He wasn’t sure how she would handle it, but perhaps with her son by her side, she would be a little better off. Downstairs, Agatha and Chrissy were chatting away, while Mark and Jamal were playing chess and sipping tea, seemingly unaware of the news flooding the internet. It was fine if they hadn’t noticed yet. As long as the trending topics had made it online, that was enough. It didn’t matter how long they stayed up, as long as Hazel saw them. Once the buzz died down, the discussion would die down too, and by the time Agatha saw it, it wouldn’t be as hard to accept. When Agatha saw Damon, she immediately pulled him over. "What’s with you? There are guests in the house, and you’re hiding upstairs by yourself. What’s that about?" "You and Chrissy aren’t strangers. Why not chat with her? We were just ta

    The two of them had grown up together, so they shared a certain understanding. Damon immediately grasped the situation and went to speak with Mark and Jamal. He wanted them to be mentally prepared, in case Agatha couldn’t handle it and needed to call the family doctor. By evening, Agatha had finally seen the news online. Thankfully, her reaction wasn’t as exaggerated as Damon had expected. On the contrary, she seemed much calmer than he had imagined. Perhaps it was because she had already known about the things that had been exposed, or maybe it was because the public mostly sided with the Price family, with most of the comments targeting Delilah. In any case, Agatha seemed unaffected, though her face was a little pale, which was understandable given the involvement of Demian. However, the next day, when Damon saw Agatha’s swollen eyes, he realized he had underestimated the emotional toll this incident had on her. But there was nothing they could do. Re

    This was the best solution Chrissy had come up with after spending an entire night binge-watching idol dramas. The situation between Damon and Hazel right now was simply because there was no opportunity to push their relationship forward.Chrissy decided to get involved herself and serve as the bait this time."When I went to find Hazel just now, she looked so shocked, like she hadn’t expected it at all. And after I left, probably she and her best friend are already talking about you," Chrissy said confidently.She analyzed the situation with such precision that if the security guards from Queen's company hadn’t arrived so quickly, she would have stayed longer and delivered a whole monologue.Thinking about this, Chrissy felt a little disappointed. She had prepared a whole speech for this, but barely got two lines out before being kicked out.Seeing Chrissy so sure of herself, Damon couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.The way

    Hazel had also considered this possibility, but since Damon kept telling her that he had deceived Harold with his acting, she didn’t think too much about it. Now, after Omar’s reminder, she started to reconsider the matter. Before she could figure it out, Omar added, "Unless his real purpose was to tell you these things, but for some reason, he couldn’t tell you directly and had to do it this way instead." When Omar said this, it felt like a sudden revelation to Hazel. After all these years of planning, Harold couldn’t have trusted anyone so quickly, even someone with the same goal. So the only possibility seemed to be what Omar had just mentioned. "Then what’s his purpose in telling me this? Grandpa, do you think my parents' accident has anything to do with him?" Hazel was confused. She had thought she had everything figured out, but now she realized she hadn’t seen the whole picture. It felt like there was a huge net above her, trapping her in t

    Hazel focused her gaze on Sully, pausing for a moment before speaking. "Maybe. I feel like I don’t dislike him as much now." "To be more precise, after he told me the truth about everything, I stopped disliking him. He has his reasons, and everything he did was for his late brother. If I were in his shoes, I’m not sure I could have done much better." At first, Hazel had felt uneasy, thinking that if everything had been clarified from the beginning, many misunderstandings could have been avoided. But now, after experiencing the aftermath of her parents' accident, she understood some of Damon's helplessness. Until she had clarified some matters, she didn’t want to share them with too many people, not even Sully or Xander. To Hazel, these two were some of the most important people in her life right now. "I still think there shouldn't be too many secrets in a relationship," Sully pressed. "Can you accept that, after you're with him, he’ll hide things

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Chrissy's Big Ideas

    Hazel was almost ready to directly reject him, but after thinking it over, she decided to be more tactful. Maybe Damon had been so busy with work and studies his whole life that he didn’t know how to like someone properly. Perhaps he had seen someone confess like this before and just copied it. Maybe it was something he’d learned from an idol drama from a few years ago—those kinds of scenes really existed in those shows. "I’ll have the security take care of all this. You should head back to the office. I heard Price Corp is expecting a big client today. Aren’t you going to meet them?" she said, offering him an out. The idea of a big client was just a way for Hazel to give Damon an excuse to leave. How would she know if Price Corp had a big client coming today? But Damon seemed completely confused by her words. He asked, "I’ve pushed all my work to tomorrow. And our company isn’t expecting any big clients today. Did you hear wrong from someone?" He

    Once Hazel returned, she immediately buried herself in company matters, dealing with the clothing brand. After this ‘hunger marketing’ campaign, imitation products had started flooding the market. But this was all within Hazel's expectations. At first, some people might buy these counterfeit products, but once time passes and they can master the quality, those imitations will start to look fake. Then, people will flock to the genuine products with real quality. Sully walked into Hazel's office, holding a document that Agent Amber had sent over. It contained some dirt on Bailey, but it wasn't enough to bring her down from her current position. "Hazel, look, these are all from Agent Amber, you know, Bailey's agent." Hazel and Agent Amber hadn't had much interaction, and what she knew best was Agent Amber's work capabilities and her relationship with Bailey. Hazel skimmed through the documents and when she saw the first part, she thought she’d read it wron

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Change of Decision

    Compared to Bailey, whom she managed, Agent Amber naturally admired Ariana more, as she was someone who genuinely pursued her craft. Ariana lacked the calculated ambition that many others had, making her more pleasant and relatable, with a better connection to the audience. As Agent Amber continued talking, her gaze shifted back to Bailey, and she sighed, "If only Bailey had half of Ariana’s dedication, she wouldn't have ended up as the second female lead." The artists Amber had previously managed might not have started with leading roles, but after transitioning through a few supporting roles, they had consistently remained at the forefront of the screen. Even if they weren’t the female lead, they were often standout supporting characters, sometimes even outshining the female lead. Unlike Bailey, who had participated in numerous variety shows and even self-funded her own micro-drama where she played the female lead, it was only thanks to Agent Amber's personal e

    "I've been so worried these past couple of days! Ever since Xander told me, I've been anxious and couldn't sleep well. I even sent you messages, but you didn’t reply! Thankfully, you're finally back!" Sully was so emotional that she nearly burst into tears. She had originally planned to go on a business trip today, but after hearing from Xander that Hazel was returning, she canceled everything and rushed over. Hazel gently patted Sully on the back. "Alright, alright, nothing happened in the end. But the matter’s still not resolved, and we’ll need your help." After comforting Sully, the group sat down together and began discussing the recent investigations and what Harold really wanted. Omar brought out everything he had recently gathered, which was all information about Harold. Mark also took out a stack of documents, all related to the organization and the past history of Hazel’s parents. Once they had gone through both sets of documents, everything st

    Once 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
