Delilah struggled to hide the frustration on her face.

From how Damon treated her now, even though they were married, he still wouldn’t live with her. This meant her position in the Price family would be weakened.

If she could move into the old mansion, although it wouldn’t give her complete control over Damon, she could use the baby to win favor with the elders. In that case, her status in the Price family would be secure.

"Aunt, Damon and I aren’t married yet. Moving into the old mansion at this time... It doesn’t seem appropriate. Let’s not do that."

Agatha patted Delilah’s hand. "Oh, you’ll be married soon enough, what’s the big deal? We’ll just have Damon pick you up from the old mansion and take you to the hotel for the ceremony. It’s settled, then."

At the Price Corp building, Kin was reporting work to Damon while holding a schedule. After finishing the work report, he began discussing Hazel’s recent actions, which were tasks that Damon had assig

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   I Don't Like Her

    In the evening, Hazel was refining the company’s development plan for the next year when Damon’s call came in.She didn’t even have to guess—it was probably about Delilah. Without hesitation, she turned off her phone. Out of sight, out of mind.Less than half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. By this time, the office staff had all gone home, so Hazel assumed it was her assistant, Eddie, coming to see her. She instructed them to come in.To her surprise, it wasn’t Eddie who entered, but Damon. Since she didn’t take his call, he decided to show up in person. How interesting.“What are you doing here?” she asked.“Who else did you expect? Your boyfriend?”Damon had intended to have a calm conversation with Hazel, but her sharp words immediately provoked him. His patience was quickly worn thin.“I’m here to ask about the incident online. Don’t worry, I’m not here to make accusations, I just want to understand what happened. If

    On the way home, Hazel watched the video Eddie had retrieved from the coffee shop. The footage clearly showed Delilah waiting by the window early in the morning, her every move visible even to the reporters outside.If anyone claimed this wasn’t premeditated, Hazel wouldn’t believe it. If she could get hold of the chat records between Delilah and those reporters, it would be perfect.But honestly, Delilah’s petty tricks weren’t worth such an effort. This video alone was enough to ruin her completely.As the online discussion about Hazel and Delilah reached its peak, the coffee shop video and chat records of Delilah inviting Hazel to meet were leaked.Along with that came audio recordings from their meeting, perfectly synchronized with the video.No one would have guessed that behind Delilah’s pitiful facade in the footage, her words could be so despicable.It wasn’t just about shattering people’s sense of morali

    The next day, a little after 11 a.m., Eddie stood at the arrival gate holding a large, garish sign. Hazel, wearing sunglasses and a mask, stood beside him, her face completely concealed.After all, Eddie’s sign was the epitome of humiliation. It screamed, 'Welcome Home, Lord Xander and Lady Sully, Rulers of the Kingdom of Awesome!' in glittery neon pink, complete with a couple of misspelled words and stick figures holding hands under a lopsided rainbow. To top it off, Eddie had drawn a crown on Xander’s head and a tiara on Sully’s—with an unfortunate resemblance to a UFO.The sign was so colorful and childish it looked like something out of a kindergarten art project.Its visibility was unparalleled. Xander and Sully spotted it from afar as soon as they exited. They also saw Hazel, who was trying to act invisible beside it.Eddie spotted them too and excitedly dragged Hazel toward them.“Boss, hurry up! They’re here, but they’re wa

    Protected behind Xander, Hazel remained untouchable. But with the media pressing in and the crowd growing larger, it became clear they couldn’t reach the banquet hall at this rate. Realizing this, Hazel pulled Xander’s hand down, stepping forward into full view of the reporters. They hesitated momentarily under her piercing gaze but continued pressing with questions. “Ms. Queen, did you attend Mr. Price and Miss Hasani’s wedding because Miss Hasani invited you personally?” Although the Price family had spent a fortune to suppress the earlier scandal, it had spread widely among the elite. The reporter’s question caught the attention of nearby guests, their curiosity piqued. Realizing their slip-up, the reporter quickly shut their mouth, retreating slightly. Mentioning such a scandal at Damon’s wedding was a sure way to court disaster. “Were you taught to ask these pointless questions, or are you just naturally curious about trivial matters? I’m a single woman

    Damon hesitated, glancing between the retreating Hazel and Delilah, who looked frail and pitiful beside him. In the end, he relented and supported Delilah as they turned back toward the banquet hall. “Damon, was that Hazel at the door just now?” Mark’s eyesight no longer sharp, had caught a glimpse of Hazel from afar but wasn’t entirely certain. Upon seeing Damon nod in confirmation, the old man frowned deeply. “If Hazel was here, why didn’t you invite her in?” Delilah, seated beside the patriarch, kept her head down, clutching her belly as if shielding herself. She dared not look up, knowing full well that Grandpa’s fondness for Hazel far surpassed his regard for anyone else in the family. “There weren’t enough seats prepared since we didn’t know she’d bring someone with her.” In truth, seating arrangements had been handled by Agatha, but the suggestion to reserve a seat for Hazel had come from Delilah. No one had expected Hazel to show up at Damon’s w

    "Hazel, is this the family that's been taking over your property and villa?" Sully looked at Bailey with disgust, as if seeing trash. Jonah, worried that his daughter might get hit again, quickly stepped in front of Bailey. "Hazel, who is this woman? Does the Queen Corp just let anyone waltz into public spaces like this?" Everyone knew that Jonah’s family had been occupying Hazel's property, but no one had ever dared to say it to their face like Sully just did. "You must be the biggest leech in the Queens, Jonah Queen, right? Sorry, but from today onwards, I'm going to be President Queen’s personal assistant. If you need anything, you can deal with me. President Queen is busy and doesn't have time to mess with small fry like you, but I’m not busy. I can entertain you all day." Sully spoke with a sweet smile, making threats that left Jonah and Bailey stunned, unable to respond for a while. After all, Sully wasn’t just dressing up today. Her sharp suit ma

    At the Price family’s old residence, Delilah sat at the dining table, staring bitterly at the bitter medicine in front of her."You can’t drink the medicine in small sips like that. It won’t go down. Just hold your breath and swallow it all at once. Afterward, eat a dried fruit, and it’ll be much easier."The medicine was a tonic prescribed by the Herbalist to improve her health. Agatha only cared about getting Delilah’s body back to full health so that she could give the Price family a healthy baby.It had been three or four months, and Delilah’s stomach was starting to show. Fortunately, this pregnancy seemed to be stable, and Agatha could finally relax.Delilah took a deep breath, furrowing her brow as she swallowed the rest of the medicine in one go, then quickly stuffed a dried fruit in her mouth, finally relaxing her expression."Enough with all these tonics. In my opinion, it’s better to eat more nutritious food instead." Jamal grumbled as h

    Delilah was stunned by the scene before her. She wanted to urge Damon not to go, but the words were stuck in her throat, unable to come out. Just as the others were about to leave, Delilah suddenly collapsed onto the floor, holding her stomach. "My stomach! Damon, it hurts so much!" Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to her. Damon rushed to her side in a single stride, helping her sit on the sofa, while Jamal quickly called for the family doctor. The check-up took half an hour, but the family doctor’s expression didn’t ease; it grew more solemn instead. “I don’t see any immediate problems, and her condition is actually better than a few days ago. However, if Miss Hasani’s stomach is still in severe pain, we should take her to the hospital for a thorough examination.” As the doctor spoke, Damon caught Delilah glancing at him. He immediately realized what was going on. He was no longer as anxious as before, instead, he calmly looked at his father

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Pieces of a Broken Legacy

    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

    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
