Omar had already gone abroad a few days ago, and the hard drive had been handed over to the professionals.

However, the specifics haven't come back yet, but Hazel had enough confidence in the technicians Omar knew.

As long as the content in the video could be restored, she would not hesitate to deal with Jonah’s family.

But before that, she intended to torment them properly.

"Hazel, what are you saying? We're family, and we've always followed the law. How could we suddenly end up in jail for no reason?"

Jonah knew that Hazel’s bottom line was her grandparents and parents, and what Bailey had said today had struck at the heart of the matter. It was no wonder that Hazel was so furious.

"I know Bailey's words upset you, but now you're kicking us out. We have nowhere to go. We're family; don’t make things so irreversible."

Hazel grinned and took out her phone, showing the assets under Jonah's name that she had investigated.

"So, this is what you c

    The once grand villa now felt empty after Jonah’s family had moved out. Hazel and Sully stood in the middle of the living room, scanning the house.The garden outside still looked the same as when they arrived, but everywhere else had become like a wasteland."Hazel, should we renovate the house back to its original state?"Sully stepped forward and draped an arm around Hazel’s shoulders, trying to offer her some strength.The place where the once happy family of three had lived now lay in this state, and it was hard for anyone’s heart to bear.Moreover, the people she loved most had already left her."You really understand me. It's good to have you here, so you can keep an eye on things. Let's go, let's see that secret room you mentioned."The study was mostly unchanged. Adele’s family had no use for the room, and even Jonah wasn’t a fan of reading.Also, since the study had many valuable calligraphy and antiques, they were af

    Before Hazel could reply to Damon, Sheila’s approval of the friend request came through.[Hello, Miss Queen. Is it you who needs to renovate a house?]Hazel didn’t expect Sheila to respond so quickly. She had thought someone as busy as her would take a while to reply, or that her request might sink into oblivion.[Yes, a villa needs to be renovated, but I don’t have the blueprints, only photos of the renovations. Will this affect the renovation results?][It shouldn't be a problem. I’ve had clients who didn’t even have photos and only gave descriptions. I still managed to design a satisfactory house for them.]If Hazel didn’t know the person on the other side was such a renowned designer, she might have thought she was just boasting.But then again, for someone who had made such a successful career in design, these things must be routine for her.[If you have time to take on my project, perhaps we could

    After Hazel returned, she completely reshuffled the company’s staff, and now there are only a few employees left that Jonah can rely on. The employees who used to work on projects for him have now joined Hazel and are pursuing their own projects. As the vice president of the company, he has no access to some of the core operations and can’t secure major projects. At this rate, Jonah is about to be sidelined. Even if he manages to secure a few projects from the Price family today, it would give him more leverage within the company. As for how Hazel might feel or respond, that’s no longer his concern. They’ve already torn their relationship apart. As for the dowry issue with the Price family, even if it spreads, it will only embarrass Hazel, and it has nothing to do with him as her uncle. “Old Master Price, I’ve come to discuss the matter between Hazel and Damon. You must know that Hazel’s parents passed away in an accident…” Before Jonah could finis

    Jonah was stunned. How could it be that both Damon and Grandpa Mark were saying the same thing? "When we divorced, I gave Hazel a sum of money, but she returned it all to me. She didn’t want it at that time. Why would she let you come here to ask for it now?" After a pause, Damon continued, "Grandpa must have told you about how he wanted to give Hazel 2% of Price Corp’s shares as a wedding gift, but she firmly rejected it. You didn’t even bother to check the details before coming to our door. Vice President Queen, don’t you feel ashamed?" Jonah’s mind felt like it had exploded. 2% of Price Corp’s shares was no small amount. Even if Hazel spent money recklessly for her entire life, it would be enough for her to squander. Yet she had refused it. Did she even understand the value of 2% of Price Corp’s shares? Jonah wished he could travel back in time and force Hazel to agree to the Price family’s offer. If she had, she wouldn’t be back now, fighting him fo

    “I’m a straightforward person, so don’t take offense. But honestly, this villa looks worse than shit right now. I can’t even imagine how the person who demolished the original design could have done it.”“Look here, this was clearly a beautiful bar area, but they knocked it down and expanded the dining room…”Sheila rambled on about the design, mostly complaining about the current renovations and praising the original design.As a designer, she really couldn’t understand why anyone would destroy such a beautiful setup and turn the villa into this mess.The more Sheila went on, the more relieved Hazel felt. Only someone who truly appreciated the design would take the time to restore it to its original form.“Miss Tucker, I’ll leave this villa to you. I have only one request: please don’t make any changes to the photos I’ve given you. If anything needs adjustment, let’s discuss it together.”Since returning, Hazel had been struggling with whet

    Kin didn’t try to make excuses for himself when things went wrong."We had tracked down some leads from Marcus's former colleague, but when we followed that trail, we found out that this Marcus isn’t real," Kin explained."The real Marcus had sold his social media accounts to someone else a long time ago, and even had this person post fragments of his life using the account. However, no personal photos were posted, so his colleagues believed the person in the circle of friends was the real Marcus."From these events, Kin could tell that Marcus was no simple person. This tactic alone showed how prepared he was. It seemed that he had already anticipated the retaliation from the Price family and had made plans to cover his tracks long ago.Months had passed, and now that they were finally looking for him, the difficulty had only increased.Seeing how cautious Marcus had been, Kin was starting to feel more overwhelmed.

    A few days later, a rumor suddenly surfaced online, involving Jonah going to the Price family to demand a dowry for Hazel. A marketing account shared the news, making it sound as though the person had witnessed it firsthand, and it quickly spread. Sully brought her phone over to Hazel. "A while ago, we only warned the media, but we haven't publicly addressed these marketing accounts online. What do you want to do about it?" This kind of thing couldn't be stirred up by just one marketing account; they wouldn't even report on news that wouldn't gain traction. Ultimately, someone had paid for it to be spread. "This is a good opportunity to teach them a lesson. Even if we don’t warn them in the future, they won’t dare to spread nonsense like this again." Actually, for Hazel, this sudden development might not be all bad. After all, she had just held a press conference, and now she could give these people a lesson. It would show them that when Hazel speaks, it’s n

    Hazel’s parents were no longer around, and the person closest to her now was himself, but if he kept being so unreasonable, it would truly break her heart. “So, should I be thanking you instead?” Hazel laughed outright, finding Jonah’s pathetic acting utterly ridiculous. “We’re all family—why talk about gratitude? I just didn’t expect that your actions would bring such a big problem to the company,” he said, feigning regret. Sully sneered coldly and slammed a stack of A4 papers onto the conference table. “Vice President Queen, are you pretending not to know, or do you genuinely not know? I’ve traced everything. These so-called marketing accounts have all claimed they were paid by you to stir things up. Care to explain?” Over the years, Jonah had built a bit of a reputation outside the company. Using that clout to pull stunts like this wasn’t entirely unexpected. But he had underestimated Hazel’s abilities. He assumed she wouldn’t be able to trace t

    At first, Chrissy hadn’t noticed, but now she realized just how skilled Gavin was at coming up with excuses.Even after all this, he was still trying to make excuses for himself. Did he really think she was a fool? That she would believe anything he said?"Or is it that you can’t even take it out? You’ve been with me just for my money and body, haven’t you? Now that you’ve had your fun, why are you still struggling? During our relationship, you haven’t lost out."She was right—if Chrissy didn’t reclaim the money from their relationship, Gavin had already made a fortune.If he hadn’t squandered the money and wasn’t so vain, those funds could have sustained him for the rest of his life.“Damon, let those ladies in.”Gavin's mind tightened, an ominous premonition rushing to his head. He wanted to stop it, but he could only stand there and watch the door, hoping the people coming in weren’t the ones he dreaded seeing.But as expected, he

    Parents who dote on their children will always support them as long as they don't make a major mistake. Chrissy had been blinded by Gavin, and now she couldn’t even see such a simple truth. “I brought them back to confront Gavin face to face, but I was worried you couldn’t handle it, so I thought we’d talk first. Since you’re so strong, let’s go upstairs and confront Gavin together.” Chrissy looked up at Damon, a hint of resistance in her eyes. She wasn’t strong at all, and she wasn’t ready to accept this so easily. It was all forced. She nodded and followed Damon upstairs with the three women. Chrissy was a relatively traditional girl, so in the Price family, her room was far away from Gavin’s. One was at the far end of the second floor corridor, and the other was at the opposite end. Gavin’s room was close to the stairs, and as soon as Damon reached the second floor, he could faintly hear some sounds coming from inside Gavin’s room.

    Damon had already discussed this matter with Grandpa Mark, so Grandpa Mark was not surprised by his actions now. However, the thought that he had just resolved one issue with Agatha and now had to deal with Gavin left him feeling uneasy."Chrissy, you and Damon go to the tea room downstairs. He has something to tell you. Whatever he says, you’re an adult now, so you must stay calm."Damon, who wasn’t sure how to begin, was relieved that Grandpa Mark had taken care of the arrangement for him.Chrissy’s bad feeling only grew stronger, but she still did as Grandpa Mark had said.Damon instructed the housekeeper to take the three women to a more secluded spot before leading Chrissy to Grandpa Mark's tea room."Damon, what’s going on? Why is it so mysterious? Just tell me, otherwise, I’ll never feel at ease," Chrissy started questioning as soon as they entered the tea room. Damon took a deep breath before finally speaking."Chri

    The private room wasn’t small, but the table was relatively small, likely a special arrangement by the restaurant. After all, since the restaurant prioritized confidentiality, it needed to ensure that guests felt safe while dining there. The small table set up this way was designed so that guests wouldn’t feel like their private conversations could be overheard. "Hazel, I’ve already ordered the dishes in advance, all of them are your and Grandpa Omar’s favorites, and I’ve included some snacks that’s suitable for breakfast. I’ll have the server bring it in right away." After saying that, Damon pressed the button in front of him. Within a few seconds, the door opened, and a server entered, respectfully looking at Damon. "Mr. Price, may I serve the dishes?" Damon nodded slightly, and the server bowed and left the room. Soon, a series of dishes were brought into the room by a line of servers. The dishes were abundant, and they looked as good as th

    No matter how you look at it, Hazel was the one who suffered the most from this incident, both mentally and physically.By the time Damon arrived at Hazel’s house, it was already past eight in the evening. Hazel had taken her medicine and was ready to rest, but when she heard that Damon had come to visit, she still went downstairs to greet him."Hazel, thank you. I know it must have been you who called Grandpa Omar and changed his mind. I need to sincerely apologize to you for the things my mother did.""Since it’s already so late, I’ve rescheduled the dinner to tomorrow morning. After my mom apologizes to you, she’ll head straight to the airport for a flight at 2 p.m."The press conference that was supposed to take place tomorrow morning had been canceled, saving them a lot of trouble."You don’t need to thank me. I just didn’t want my private matters to be exposed to the public. It has nothing to do with your family. Also, if your mother’s apolog

    "Mark, I need to make it clear. If her attitude improves, she can return after ten years. But if she remains the same, she’ll stay abroad indefinitely."Before coming to the Price family, Omar had first gone to the company to have an agreement drafted, detailing how this matter would be handled.He took out two identical copies of the agreement and handed one to Mark."Look, we’re not getting any younger. Who knows when we’ll be gone?"“To ensure Hazel doesn’t get into trouble, I’ve drafted this agreement in advance. Both of us will sign it on behalf of the Price Corp and Omar Corp.”Even if Omar didn’t bring it up, Mark was already preparing this agreement.Agatha living abroad with Jamal might not be a bad thing for the Price family.Seeing Jamal’s attitude toward Agatha, it was impossible to expel her from the Price family. For the sake of the family’s future, it was necessary for Agatha to reform.During her time abroad, it

    When the organizers announced the postponement, there was nothing anyone could do but return to their work.Fortunately, the tickets were still valid. The organizers assured them that the same tickets would be honored for the rescheduled event.Calculating the time, it seemed like the lecture would be in two days.Hazel answered the phone, and Sheila’s loud voice immediately came through.“Hazel, are you okay?! I just heard you were injured! I was going to visit you at the hospital, but I found out you’ve been discharged. Where are you? I’ll come right over!”Hazel paused for a moment. “I’m at the villa. You don’t have to—”Before she could finish, the call was abruptly disconnected. Hazel looked at her phone, already knowing that Sheila was definitely on her way.She had wanted to tell Sheila not to come today since they would meet in two days anyway, and Sheila was so busy with work. There was no need for her to make an extra trip.

    One option was to have Jamal and Agatha go abroad together, at least not returning until after they were both over sixty.The other option was to make the matter public, with Agatha offering a public apology to Hazel and promising that such a thing would never happen again.Hazel hesitated for a while before speaking, “Since sending her to the police isn’t an option, let’s combine these two choices. First, have Agatha apologize publicly, and then send her abroad to start over before she comes back.”Hazel's expression was calm, as if she were speaking about something unrelated to her.This was one of the things Omar liked most about Hazel—though she was kind, she was far from being a martyr.“I thought you’d soften after hearing what Jamal had to say, but it seems I underestimated you. This is the right approach. If those who make mistakes aren’t punished, they’ll make the same mistakes again next time.”Hazel merely smiled and didn’t respon

    Elias briefly checked Hazel and said there was nothing wrong, so she could be discharged. Since he would soon be pulled by Sully to check Hazel’s health again, he had already familiarized himself with her physical condition. Aside from the minor scalp injury, she wasn’t injured anywhere else. It seemed that her consistent physical exercise had given her a better-than-average physique. Elias had never encountered someone with such good physical health. Even the wound on her head was healing much faster than normal. If anyone other than him were treating Hazel, they would probably want to research her case, because her recovery was far from typical. If it weren’t for the fact that Hazel had a special identity, Elias might have even wanted to call his mentor to report this matter. After being discharged, Elias drove them back, and during the drive, Sully started telling Hazel about what had happened to her. "Hazel, there's something I nee
