“How could I accept such an expensive gift? I should return it to Hazel. Since it’s all just a misunderstanding, it’ll be fine once everything’s cleared up,” she said, trying to avoid the awkwardness. Agatha immediately grew anxious when she heard Delilah’s words. “Why wouldn’t you accept it? She did something wrong, and this is her way of apologizing. If you take it, it means you’ve forgiven her. She’d love for you to take it!” As she spoke, Agatha was practically eyeing the necklace, almost wanting to stuff it into her bag. Jamal couldn’t help but feel anger bubbling up as he saw his wife’s greedy behavior. He turned his head to face the window, clearly irritated. “Since Hazel has brought the gifts, you should just accept them. And the little necklace for the child—this is quite exquisite

Hazel waved her hand in front of his face, “What are you thinking? You’re so distracted. I asked if you wanted to try this snack. It’s really delicious.” “Sure, as long as it’s your recommendation, I’d love to try it,” Xander replied. The street, full of youthful energy, was especially crowded at that moment. Hazel and Xander waited in line for quite a while before finally getting their snacks. After just a couple of steps, Hazel began eating and getting in line for another round of snacks. Just as she was busy enjoying her food, someone suddenly squeezed up next to her and whispered in her ear. “Aren’t you the biological daughter of Jacob Queen and Novaria Dawn?” Hazel’s mind went blank for a moment. She quickly turned her head, only to see a young girl in a school uniform standing closest to her. But the voice that spoke was definitely from a middle-aged man. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Xander noticed Hazel's discomfort, glancing a

Sully also fell into deep thought. It had been so many years since Hazel’s parents passed away, and now only people with closer connections would bring up such a topic. Those people wouldn't approach Hazel in such a way, so the purpose behind this person’s actions really was hard to determine. Sully frowned, and her expression stiffened as she looked at Hazel. “You said there were so many people around you, all the noise and chatter, could it be that you really misheard?” Hazel also began to doubt herself. Could it really be a mistake? But the feeling at the time had been so vivid. “Forget it. If this person really has a purpose, they’ll definitely show up again,” she said. Sully nodded. “Then you should be careful for a while. Your villa is empty now, so how about I move in with you? It’s not safe for you to be alone.” Although she knew Hazel was capable, it still made her uneasy. After all, she was a woman living in such a large house alone. “I’m

In the end, he put his phone down and went back to his work.The message was sent in the afternoon, and Hazel didn’t check her phone until the evening.[No need, let's just consider the last time you helped me as settling things.

Bailey initially just expressed her opinion, and the team leader patiently explained. “This isn’t a romance play. The female lead’s main task is to focus on her career, and the male lead’s presence would only hold her back, so they can’t end up together.” The script for this play was written by an experienced member of their team, but ultimately, everyone sat together to revise and approve it as a group. With Amber’s connections, Bailey had managed to secure the role of the female lead. However, convincing the entire team to follow her vision was no simple task. Teamwork was essential in this kind of project. Without her teammates supporting her, Bailey couldn’t pull off the lead role on her own. “Why can’t the female lead have it all? In the end, the boyfriend could just support her career, and that would be fine, right?” Bailey was always a fan of happy endings. Now that she was the lead, she naturally wanted the ending to unfold as she liked. Moreove

Cataleya's face remained expressionless, but her tone betrayed her rising anger. The only reason she didn't fully express it was because of the cameras around her.After all, as an actor, keeping emotions under control was a basic skill required to survive in the entertainment industry.Someone like Bailey, however, owed her position entirely to her agent, Amber, and her influential parents. Without them, her personality alone would have seen her kicked out long before entering the industry.“I suggest you all rein in your arrogance. The entertainment industry isn’t a place where just any stray cat or dog can come and snatch a share!”After reprimanding them briefly, Cataleya shifted her focus to identifying the issues with their play. Once she clarified her points with the group leader, she prepared to leave.Just as she was about to step out of the rehearsal room, a team member, unwilling to let it go, called out.“Mentor, should we replac

“How about I introduce you to a driver? You can have them drive you around whenever you go out, I really can’t feel at ease otherwise.” Damon, who had just sat down, still couldn't relax. After all, because of Agatha, Hazel had been in an accident before. And as soon as Hazel took the wheel and avoided the professional driver he hired, Damon’s concerns couldn’t be shaken off. “I don’t need it. Have you ordered yet? Let’s eat, I’m starving.” Not wanting to hear more of Damon’s nagging, Hazel quickly changed the subject. Damon handed her the menu. “Here, take a look. The items I’ve already ordered are marked. Let me know if you want anything else.” Damon had already ordered enough, and most of it was food that Hazel liked. She only ordered a glass of water for herself, then shifted the conversation to the hospital. “I’m really sorry about how my mom treated you in the hospital. It’s my fault, I should’ve explained things to her beforehand. After I ta

The shares had all returned to Hazel’s hands, and it was impossible for anyone to buy them back from the person they had sold them to. After learning about the situation at Queen Corp, Jonah went to Mr. Will, trying to offer a higher price to buy back all the shares he had previously sold. However, Mr. Will no longer held any shares in Queen Corp, so there was no way he could fulfill Jonah's request. But Mr. Will didn’t mention that he had sold the shares to Hazel. Instead, he flatly refused to sell. Now that Queen Corp’s prospects were looking up, any businessman would hesitate to sell shares they had worked so hard to acquire, especially at this moment. However, the fact that Mr. Will had transferred the shares to Hazel couldn’t be kept a secret. Eventually, Jonah found out. The reason Jonah had sold the shares to Mr. Will in the first place was to try and trick Hazel. Now, he hadn’t managed to deceive her, and instead, all the shares had ended up back in

Jonah cleared his throat, trying to make himself seem a little more authoritative. "Hazel, I came today to ask you something. How many shares of Queen Corp do you have now? Did you buy the shares that I sold to Mr. Will? How much did you pay for them?" "What shares? Uncle, are you saying you sold all your shares?" Hazel pretended to be surprised, covering her mouth. Her acting was worse than Bailey's, and it was all for Jonah’s benefit. However, Jonah couldn’t tell, and he thought Hazel genuinely didn’t know about it. "You don't know? That can't be right. Yesterday, your aunt guessed that you must have fifty percent of the shares by now." So it was Adele who had guessed it. No wonder—considering Jonah's intelligence, he could never have thought of that himself. "No, that's just a joke. How could I have that much money to buy back all those shares? You guys know how much assets I have, right?" When Hazel returned, Adele and Jonah had already in

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
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

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
