Hazel curled her lips and looped her arm through Eddie’s as they walked toward the resort. "You almost looked the part, but the moment you opened your mouth, it all fell apart. Try not to talk too much later."

"Aren’t we here to meet a client? Why am I dressed up like this?"

"Remember, your role today is my boyfriend."

A sleek black Bentley rolled to a stop at the resort entrance. Kin lowered the passenger-side window, carefully observing the figure walking into the resort.

"Mr. Price, I think that might’ve been Miss Queen just now."

Damon chuckled softly. "She’s probably busy dealing with those old geezers at Queen Corp. How could she have time to come here? You must be mistaken."

Kin frowned slightly but raised the window back up.

He had heard about the recent chaos at Queen Corp. It was already surprising that Miss Queen had managed to become the group’s president in the first place.

Jonah, unwilling to accept her position, was constantly opposing her, and Queen Corp’s internal pow

    Damon grabbed Hazel’s wrist, glaring at her furiously. Since their divorce, they hadn’t had a single proper conversation whenever they met.Hazel glanced at Damon but ultimately fixed her gaze on the woman standing beside Kin."Wow, you’ve got new taste now? Not bad. At least it’s an upgrade from Delilah—by a mile," Hazel said with a smirk.She then raised an eyebrow at the woman. "Miss, did you know there’s already a pregnant canary waiting at Damon’s home?"Damon’s grip on Hazel’s wrist tightened, and he stepped sideways, blocking her view of the woman.Pain shot through Hazel’s wrist, and she was just about to retaliate when Omar stepped forward."Damon! You think I’m dead, treating my niece like this?"His voice boomed with authority, sounding nothing like a man in his sixties.Damon froze under Omar’s glare, quickly loosening his grip as his gaze darted between Omar and Hazel.What’s their connection? Niece? Could they be relatives?Under the weight of Omar’s presence, Damon fin

    "Look at how considerate Delilah is. Damon, when are you planning to marry her?"Seeing Delilah's belly grow larger by the day, Agatha was determined not to let the Price family’s first grandchild be born without a proper title.Jamal had also thought about this issue. "Your grandfather’s out for a walk. He should be back soon. When he returns, you should discuss this matter with him yourself."When Mark Price heard about Damon’s divorce from Hazel, he nearly flipped the entire old residence upside down.If not for Agatha and Jamal’s attempts to mediate, Damon would have already been dragged home for a round of family discipline.Jamal had no desire to anger his father again over matters concerning the younger generation."Uncle, Auntie, Damon knows what he’s doing. You don’t need to pressure him. I’m not upset," Delilah said with a soft smile, her understanding demeanor making her all the more likable.Yet no one in the room was trul

    Faced with the old man’s sharp gaze, Damon had nothing to say.Demian didn’t want Delilah to suffer criticism. If Damon’s earlier plan got out, Delilah would surely be torn apart by public opinion.The wedding was scheduled for five days later. As soon as the date was set, the news spread like wildfire online."I didn’t believe the rumors about President Price cheating before, but now he’s getting remarried right after the divorce?!""Poor my Queen, still entangled with someone like him.""Once they’re married, let’s hope Mrs. Price can keep him in check and stop him from bothering my Queen again!""My Queen shines solo!"After scrolling for a long time and not finding any comments she liked, Delilah furiously threw her phone, which hit a servant squarely on the head."Ah!"

    The people at the table exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh. "Hazel Queen, I’ve known your father for many years, and by seniority, you should call me Uncle Seth. It’s not that I don’t believe in you, but 10 billion is not something you can achieve just by talking about it." Without a plan or a detailed proposal, no one was foolish enough to believe someone’s wild claims. "Miss Queen, I believe in your ability, but not right now. My advice would be to hand over the company to your uncle, take the dividends, and go abroad to gain experience. When you return, you can take over the company smoothly, rather than trying to force things now when you don’t understand anything yet." Hazel didn’t argue. She simply threw a thick proposal onto the large round table. "This is my plan for Queen Corp in the coming year. The more detailed plans are at home. This is just an outline. You can have a look and then talk to me." When Hazel was little, Jacob Queen

    Omar lived in a villa area near the city center, not far from where Delilah had arranged to meet.He was unlike most elderly people, who preferred solitude; Omar loved a lively atmosphere and had no interest in secluding himself in the suburbs.When they arrived at Omar’s house, he was working out in the yard, surrounded by various fitness equipment.It should have been a peaceful, fragrant place, but instead, it had been turned into a gym."Uncle Omar, your villa is quite interesting. You’ve put all your fitness equipment outside.""Exercise should be down-to-earth. Breathing in the fresh air outside is much better than staying cooped up inside all the time."Omar wiped the sweat from his face and walked up to Hazel."Why did you come over today? Did you bring the hard drive?"Hazel took out a wooden box from her bag, opened it, and inside was the hard drive, severely damaged from the fire. Even from its appearance, it was cle

    Upon hearing the voice, Delilah quickly turned around. The moment she saw Hazel, all the exhaustion seemed to disappear from her face. "What would you like to drink?" Hazel rolled her eyes. She hated dealing with people who beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it—no need for all the extra nonsense. Delilah grabbed her wrist, then took an invitation card out of her bag. "I hesitated for a long time, but I thought I should invite you. After all, you’re close to Damon, and I hope you can come to our wedding and witness it." As she spoke, there was a smug smile on her lips. Hazel let out a slow sigh. Facing such a foolish opponent was hardly anything new. She had waited this long just to deliver an invitation? Did she think Hazel would be angry? Or did she think Hazel still had feelings for Damon? Hazel reached out with two fingers, took the invitation card, and without even glancing at it, stuffed it into her bag. "We

    Delilah initially wanted to have the waiters call the police on Hazel, but remembering the reporters outside, she thought better of it.Instead, she grabbed a few napkins to wipe the traces off her face."Hazel, everyone has their own opinions. If you disagree with me, just don't listen. Why do you have to go so far as to hit me?"She stood miserably beside Hazel, facing the window. From this angle, it would be perfect for the reporters outside to capture the scene clearly.The sago pudding she’d been splashed with couldn’t go to waste!"It’s not my fault that Damon likes me. Since you want to vent your anger on me, I’ll accept—"Before she could finish speaking, Hazel slapped her across the face. Afterward, she pulled out a wet wipe from her bag and carefully wiped her hand.This time, Delilah couldn’t even scream. She really wanted to strike back, to call the people she had arranged outside to come in and give Hazel a good beating.But she couldn’t. Some of the reporters weren’t peo

    A board member, who had been threatened by her, lost his temper and slammed the table as he stood up. "It was me! What are you going to do about it? Do you want to hit me again? Just look at the way you handle things—where’s the grace of a lady? And how could you be the president of Queen Corp? You’re not qualified to sit in this position!" "Today’s meeting is meant to remove you from office. Only Jonah can lead Queen Corp back on track. Do you have any idea how much damage Queen Corp has suffered under your leadership?" "Now with all these scandals online, if this continues, Queen Corp might as well declare bankruptcy instead of running a company!" The board member went on and on, and with every word, Hazel’s face darkened, but her smile never wavered. If Eddie were here, he would probably be trembling with fear. She’d been this angry only a handful of times in her life, and the people who had made her this angry never ended well. “David Miles, r

  • 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

    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

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.
