Marcus had been in the town for so long, and Edith had grown up there. If they could get help from people they knew, things would certainly move much faster.

The key was not to attract the attention of those people, so that the child’s safety could be maximized.

Fortunately, Kin had already figured out that only two people had taken the child, and they were both staying in a rented house.

The two would often take turns going out to buy food. To avoid suspicion from the people around them, they would alternate, staying out for a day at a time before returning, pretending to be working in Marcus’s greenhouse.

So, the best time to act would be during the day, when only one person was watching the child, making it easier to take action.

"Have you tried contacting Marcus?"

"Not yet. I was waiting to discuss it with you first, sir. After this, I’ll have my people take action. One of them has already infiltrated Marcus’s greenhouse, so it will be easier to coo

    Fortunately, Marcus’s child didn’t suffer any major issues. The child had only taken sleeping pills and fell unconscious. After the doctors performed a stomach wash and observed for a while, there were no serious problems. Damon had Kin take Delilah back to his apartment to keep an eye on her while he went to the hospital to check on the child’s condition. Only after confirming the child was fine did he finally breathe a sigh of relief. Marcus walked up to Damon. If Damon hadn’t stopped him, he might have knelt before him. "Mr. Price, thank you so much for saving my child. I never expected that Delilah would harm the child. If I had known she was so malicious, I would never have gotten involved with her, no matter what." After speaking, he realized something was wrong. He had agreed to Delilah’s plan and accepted money to help his wife get treatment. If given a second chance, it seemed he would still make the same choice. "Forget it. Let’s not talk abou

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

  • 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
