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

    After sending the materials to Bailey, Amber quickly left Bailey’s apartment in a rush.Bailey casually glanced at the script before tossing it aside and continuing with her skincare routine, ready to rest...Sully, who often kept an eye on Bailey, was the first to find out about this. Thinking it was time to strike a blow to Bailey, Sully immediately told Hazel."I know you want to overshadow Bailey, but it really irks me to see her rise so easily. Plus, there’s already a rift between Mr. Moore and Jonah. We don’t have to make a direct move, though."Seeing Hazel hesitate, Sully changed her approach.Hazel could tell that if she didn’t let Sully deal with Bailey, it would certainly bother her. Moreover, what Sully said made sense. Mr. Moore was a great opportunity to add pressure to Jonah. They couldn’t just let that go easily."Mr. Moore definitely can’t stand to see Jonah doing well, but aside from making life difficult for him, he doesn’

    Of course, Jonah could tell what was going on. After all, Mr. Moore had always looked down on him, and that wasn’t a secret; many of the company’s employees knew it. Whenever Jonah gave orders, the employees had to check with Mr. Moore first before deciding whether to carry them out. It was clear that they had sidelined him. If it weren’t for Adam confirming Jonah’s position as the CEO, those employees would probably be giving him the cold shoulder. "Mr. Moore, I know you look down on me, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. No matter how much you despise me, this position will never be yours." "Since Adam Fleur trusts you so much, you should know what kind of deal I made with him. Even if he hands over all the power to you, so what? I still get paid as the CEO. I don’t have to do anything, but I still get a nice paycheck. That works just fine for me." Back when he was at the Queen family, Jonah had dealt with many such people, and he understood well: for those

    Damon immediately came to find Hazel as soon as he learned about the situation because he had gotten an idea of where she had gone yesterday from Kin. He had always had people keep an eye on Hazel, something she was aware of, though she didn’t realize just how thoroughly he was watching her. It felt like surveillance, which made her feel very uncomfortable. “How did you know to tell me about this immediately? Even though my parents’ situation might be related to the organization, that’s only a possibility.” It was easy to guess that Damon must have known what happened to her last night. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to notify her about it so quickly. Damon froze for a moment, not knowing how to explain to Hazel that he had been keeping tabs on her. And, it wasn’t just ‘keeping tabs’ anymore—it felt more like surveillance, to make sure she wasn’t getting too close to any other men. But he had no other choice. He had been circling around Delilah f

    Hazel knew deep down that this man wasn’t going to reveal everything from the past so easily. Still, it was good to know that there was a channel to investigate further. She could take her time to look into it.“No, no, no, you’ve got it wrong.” The man smiled and waved his hand, as though casually talking about daily matters with Hazel.“Now, I’m the one asking the questions. You don’t have the right to ask me anything right now.”The familiarity he had shown earlier when trying to approach Hazel was completely gone, replaced by an overwhelming sense of suppression.A suppression so strong that Hazel couldn’t help but feel a sense of inferiority.“If I don’t have the right to ask you anything, then how can you be so sure that you have the right to ask me? Or do you think Hazel Queen is someone who can be bullied at will?”When Hazel said this, the man froze for a moment. When he looked at her again, there was a trace of admiration in his ey

    An uneasy feeling flashed through Hazel’s mind, and she quickly reached for the car door handle, but the driver had already locked it. “Miss Queen, don’t rush to leave. Haven’t you always wanted to know who I am? Well, today’s your chance. Let’s have a good chat.” Hazel’s hand reached into her bag, grasping the hairpin her mother used to always carry. Ever since she found the hairpin, Hazel had kept it with her. Originally, it was a memento, but now it served another purpose—self-defense. Luckily, there was only the driver in the car. Judging by his words, he clearly had something he wanted to say to her. Since she had already come this far, she might as well find out what he was after. “Who are you? What do you want? How do you know my parents? Are you involved in their deaths?!” Hazel fired off several questions in a row. The driver didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he started the car. Once they were on the main road, the driver finally looked

    As they spoke, the two arrived at the hospital. Fortunately, Damon’s condition wasn’t serious, and after simple treatment, the doctor arranged for him to be admitted to a hospital room. Hazel and Kin sat quietly in the room, not saying anything. Kin carefully watched Hazel, unsure if she had forgotten what she saw back at the bar. If Miss Queen asked about it once Damon woke up, Damon would surely come after him. While Kin was lost in thought, staring at Hazel’s back, she suddenly turned around and caught him staring. “What are you looking at? Do you have something you want to say?” Hazel then directly took Kin out of the room. Seeing his guilty expression, she started to think that he was hiding something important from her. “What is it? What is it that you can’t tell me? Does anyone from the Price family know about Damon’s situation right now?” Kin shook his head and then explained, “It’s not that I’m hiding something from you, Miss Queen, it’s j

    That afternoon, Damon finalized the divorce with Delilah, and she was immediately sent to the police station. With multiple witnesses and physical evidence provided by Damon, Delilah was detained. As for her child, it was sent to an orphanage. There was little doubt about the outcome. With Damon’s influence, Delilah was quickly convicted. When Damon went to see her for the last time, she no longer had the arrogant look she had before. Locked up in prison, she seemed to have aged a decade, her entire demeanor weathered. "Damon, since you knew everything from the beginning, why did you endure it for so long?" "From the very start, my mercy was because of the child in your belly. Otherwise, do you really think you could have gotten away with this for so long? Don’t worry, I’ve arranged a place for you in prison. Someone will take good care of you.” After dealing a final blow to Delilah, Damon was about to leave. This was also his last visit to Delilah

    Damon pushed open the door and saw some decorative items broken at the door, likely from Delilah throwing things in a panic. It was understandable, though, since her dream of becoming a rich wife now rested entirely on that child. She didn’t know the situation with Marcus, and she had no idea what had happened to the child. Delilah must be in a panic. "Damon, I was just too anxious earlier. It was Kin who locked me up for no reason. That's why I got angry and started throwing things. Don't be mad at me." Delilah looked at Damon with pitiful eyes, gambling that he still didn’t know about the things she had done. However, she also knew she didn’t have much of a chance. After all, the fact that Kin was able to lock her up indirectly proved Damon’s involvement in this. But at this moment, pretending was all she could do. She couldn’t rely on ‘that’ person to come and rescue her. Delilah knew well that it was impossible. After Damon entered, he shu
