Delilah turned her gaze to Jamal and Mark. Seeing that Damon had already left, the two didn’t speak much and hurriedly left the study.

Before leaving, they double-checked to make sure the study door was securely closed.

After they had gone, Agatha couldn’t hold back her complaints.

"Why do they all seem so strange? When I tried to talk to them, no one paid attention."

"Maybe there’s something they don’t want us to know. By the way, Mom, have you heard about the fire at the Queen family estate? Anyway, it’s no big deal. Let’s go out to the balcony and enjoy the sun. You can tell me more about it while we’re there."

Delilah helped Agatha as they walked toward her room.

At the time of the incident, Delilah hadn’t been with Damon yet, and there wasn’t much information to be found online.

Since the Price family had such a good relationship with the Queen family, perhaps Agatha knew more.

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   The Villa is Ready

    As soon as Sully left, Hazel received a message from Sheila, saying that the villa was finished and asking when she had time to come take a look. During the renovation, Hazel hadn’t visited once—partly because she was busy, and partly because she trusted Sheila so much. She checked her schedule for the afternoon and found that she didn’t have much to do, so she decided to push everything back for a day and drove directly to the villa. Sheila was waiting at the door and smiled broadly when she saw Hazel. “I swear, this is the most beautiful design I’ve ever seen! Every space is used to its fullest potential, and it’s both beautiful and practical.” She was so excited, as if the villa were hers, and her enthusiasm made Hazel’s heart flutter with anticipation. Hazel had already looked through the photos of the design her mother had made many times, but seeing it in person still filled her with excitement. “From the way you’re acting, I can tell the des

    Aside from Hazel, Damon was the second person to know the news about the house being renovated.“Huh? Didn’t you say you were doing it secretly? How come you told her so quickly?”Instead of reflecting on himself, Damon blamed Sheila. Sheila rolled her eyes, unwilling to say more, and pulled Hazel into a boutique.The store was filled with all kinds of towels, bath towels, and many plush toys. Hazel and Sheila shopped for quite a while, filling up a large shopping cart.When they were about to pay at the counter, they noticed an employee, who had been following them with a cart, walking up to them."Hello, Miss Queen. You don’t need to pay for these. Mr. Price said that from now on, you can shop here for free."As the developer of the mall, Damon’s name was well known to the employees.When Agatha and Delilah came to this mall to shop before, they always mentioned Damon’s name to flaunt their status.But Damon had never appeare

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Who Damon Would Protect?

    When the villa door opened and Agatha and Delilah saw it was Damon, Delilah immediately softened her expression, acting much more delicate. However, due to being in the late stages of her pregnancy, combined with eating and sleeping well, she had gained quite a bit of weight. Even though she tried to look as fragile and weak as before, it was no match for how she looked before her pregnancy. "We haven’t questioned you yet, yet you’re already questioning us!" Delilah was startled by Damon’s tone, but Agatha wasn’t. No matter what, she was still Damon’s mother, and she didn’t believe her own son would lay a hand on her. Agatha took a moment to size Damon up, and seeing him still wearing the apron, her anger flared. "Look at you now! Do you even know you’re the president of the Price Corp? You’ve actually debased yourself to do servant’s work!" "I don’t understand. What’s so special about this Hazel? How can she make you so obsessed with her, that you

    Agatha looked at Damon in disbelief, staggering back two steps, almost falling. Fortunately, Delilah was quick and caught her in time. "Damon, it’s one thing for you to speak to me like that, but how can you speak to Mom like that?" At this moment, Delilah still didn’t understand the situation and thought that, in Damon’s heart, family members were the most important. "And you—you're here now, but why are you still acting like this in front of everyone? Do you need me to remind you of the situation with the child in your belly? You really think you’re carrying my child?" Damon had wanted to say this for a long time. As long as Delilah stayed at home and had the child, Damon wouldn't say anything to her. But she insisted on causing trouble, dragging Agatha into it. It wasn’t enough that she caused trouble, but she even came to Hazel’s place to do it. The Price family had tolerated these two women, but why should Hazel also be expected to tolerate them?

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Can't Speak The Truth

    At the hospital, Damon anxiously handed Agatha over to the doctor, then took Delilah for an examination. During the process, he found time to call Jamal and Kin. He only relaxed when they arrived at the hospital. "Dad, you’re finally here. Mom is in your hands now. Kin, take care of Delilah. I’ve got other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first." Before either of them could respond, Damon rushed out of the hospital, but after running a few steps, he turned around and went back to Jamal. He explained the situation with Delilah’s pregnancy to him, asking him to find a way to explain things to Agatha carefully before leaving. Earlier, he had acted impulsively, but now, he couldn’t let Agatha know the child wasn’t his—it would be too much for her to handle, given her condition. After settling everything at the hospital, Damon quickly drove to Hazel’s villa. Since he had already said everything to her today, it was best to continue and explain things to h

    Before leaving, Damon had told Jamal that his visit to Hazel was highly secretive. Logically, Agatha and Delilah had been at home the whole time, so there was no way they should have known. And Damon’s visit to Hazel’s house was a spur-of-the-moment decision, not planned in advance, so there was even less reason for them to know. "I don’t know. It was Delilah who suddenly told me Damon went to Hazel’s house. I got so mad I didn’t think much about it." "Now that I think about it, there’s something off. Delilah had been with me at home the whole time. How would she know exactly where Damon went?" Jamal’s expression sharpened, a hint of the aura he had when he was the president of Price Corp in the past. "I told you before, Delilah is no simple character, but you wouldn’t believe me. Now you see, don’t you?" "From now on, keep your guard up around her. Don’t let her use you without you even realizing it. Look at how things have gotten between you and Damon

    Delilah hadn’t expected Agatha to suddenly step in and angrily threw a decorative object at Agatha, hitting her on the forehead. Everyone in the room gasped, and the nurse following behind quickly approached to check the wound on Agatha’s forehead. The nurses had realized by now that being a wife from a rich family wasn’t just about carrying a child. Unlike Agatha, who had been a rich family’s wife for many years, her position was far more secure. It was better to focus on Agatha and the benefits she could secure, rather than waste time flattering Delilah, who might be kicked out of the Price family at any moment. "Ma'am, are you okay? You’re bleeding. I’ll call a nurse to help you bandage it." After saying this, the nurse hurried off, leaving one nurse behind to stay with Delilah. It was their job. Seeing the dark expression on Jamal’s face and the blood on Agatha’s forehead, Delilah instantly quieted down. She had thought these people had already

    Delilah held her breath, staring directly into Jamal’s eyes, but didn’t dare say a word. Having stayed in the Price family for so long, she knew well that Jamal wasn’t as simple as he appeared on the surface. Although the outside world spoke of Jamal as gentle and refined, living with him for so long, she knew better. Jamal was the most favored child of Mark. The reason the company was handed over to Damon wasn’t because Mark disliked Jamal, but because it was Jamal’s decision. "Since Dad said so, let’s go with this arrangement. After all, it’s not Mom’s responsibility to take care of me, it should be Damon’s." "Before, I always blamed myself, thinking Damon needed to work, but I didn’t notice Mom’s health. Dad, don’t worry, if anything happens in the future, I’ll go to Damon. I won’t trouble Mom again." Seeing Delilah acting so understanding, Agatha immediately forgot how she had just angrily scolded the nurses. She was about to step forward and t

    Although he didn’t want to admit it, Damon found himself once again intimidated by Chrissy’s confident demeanor. He raised his head slightly and looked at Chrissy, a trace of foolishness in his eyes. After a pause, he asked, "So, Hazel actually has feelings for me?" Chrissy nodded vigorously. "Of course! Didn’t you hear everything I just said?" "So, what should I do now? Hazel is out having dinner with Charles. Whether it’s for work or not, I can’t just do nothing, right?" Under Chrissy's influence, Damon had already begun to trust her unconditionally. He didn’t even realize it, but all his hopes were now riding on her. Chrissy stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, tapping her chin thoughtfully. After a while, when Damon wasn’t paying attention, she pulled out a small notebook from her bag and glanced through it. "Chase her! Go all in and pursue her passionately! That’s the most important thing you should be doing right now!" "How do I chase

    "You're saying that Charles only came to me with a business deal because he's trying to get close to me?" Hazel stared at Xander, her gaze unblinking.Xander wasn’t sure how to respond—he didn’t want to make things awkward, but it was hard to avoid the implication.He could tell Hazel wasn’t quite seeing things the way he did. It wasn’t just business, he thought; there was something else behind it."Honestly, I used to think the same thing," she continued. "But then I realized, he never actually said anything like ‘if we work together, you have to marry me.’ So, why not agree to the deal? I’m just giving him the chance to be around me. Whether or not he can make something out of that, that’s not my concern."Hazel had known all along that what Charles really wanted was a chance, not her hand in marriage.Xander finally nodded. "I get it now. I was worried about you not seeing through him. Looks like I was wrong."He had watched Hazel grow in

    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

    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
