Mess With Him

At that moment, Delilah had taken on the role of the female head of the Price household.

All the servants were scrambling to please her.

"Mr. Price, we've searched every possible place that Miss Queen could be, but there's no sign of her!"

Hearing his subordinate's report, Damon's brows furrowed in a cold scowl. His grip on the coffee cup tightened.

That damn woman! She's good at hiding; even I can't find her.’

"By the way, we just received a package from Miss Queen. It's something for you!" The subordinate nervously handed over an envelope.

Inside was a bank card, along with a note.

[Ten million, for the trouble you've had fulfilling my needs over the past three years. Honestly, considering your skills, I really overpaid you!]

Crack!

The bank card snapped in half in his palm, and a storm brewed in his eyes.

"Find her. Turn Vernon upside down if you have to. Get her here!"

His subordinate immediately took the order.

Before marrying him, he had thoroughly investigated her background.

She had been adopted by foster parents in a poor rural area, with no support to speak of. He couldn't understand how she had become so fixated on his family, let alone how she managed to charm his grandfather into making her his granddaughter-in-law.

Because of all this, Damon hated her even more.

For the past three years, she hadn't worked, socialized, or even left the house. He hadn’t even transferred the compensation money he promised her, so where had this ten million come from?

Damon narrowed his eyes.

His ex-wife was truly a mystery!

His assistant Kin, holding a tablet, stepped forward to report, "Mr. Price, I’ve just received news that the chairman election at Queen Corp has concluded. The new chairman is... the eldest daughter of the Queen family!"

Damon raised his eyes in surprise.

It was said that the former chairman of Queen Corp and his family died in a fire three years ago. Now, out of nowhere, the eldest daughter of the Queen family appeared, and she had even managed to outplay the most capable candidate, Jonah, to become the new chairman. It was clear that this woman had some skills.

Queen Corp had always been a potential partner for Price Corp, but with the change in leadership, things had gotten more interesting.

"Prepare the car. We're going to Queen Corp!"

He was eager to see how this drama unfolded.

A sleek black Rolls-Royce glided toward the parking lot in front of Queen Corp, just as a white Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon approached from the opposite direction.

The two cars passed by each other.

"Boss, you were pretty cool just now, huh? I think I’m falling more for you every day!" Eddie exclaimed with a lovestruck expression, almost about to plant a kiss.

In order to watch the drama unfold, he had put on a mask and sneaked into Queen Corp with Hazel, and thankfully, no one had recognized him.

Hazel lazily leaned against the car door, her eyes flashing as she glanced at him. "Aren't you supposed to be gay? When did you turn straight?"

"Dammit, let's not talk about it. We're still friends, right? Can we still be happy together?" Eddie replied, his face flushed with embarrassment.

Seeing Eddie nearly jump out of his skin, Hazel's mood, which had been dark for the past few days, lightened a little.

"Boss, not good, we might have been followed!" Eddie suddenly yelled.

Hazel glanced through the rearview mirror and narrowed her eyes. That limited-edition Rolls-Royce—only one person in Vernon owned one.

"It’s Damon. Lose him!"

Eddie's confidence surged. "Got it!"

With one press of the accelerator, the car shot forward like lightning.

But Damon’s driver was no amateur. With skilled driving, he closed the gap in just a few minutes.

"Damn, I can’t keep up, Boss! The driver in the back is way too good!" Eddie slammed the steering wheel, cursing in embarrassment.

Hazel shot him an eye-roll. "A man shouldn't say 'I can't do it.' Pull over, switch positions!"

The two quickly swapped places. Hazel lowered her sunglasses and slammed the gas pedal. The car shot forward like an arrow, cutting through the wind at breakneck speed.

On the wide road, amidst the crowded traffic, the white G-Wagon weaved through the cars effortlessly, breezing through red lights and narrowly avoiding rear-end collisions. As they entered the ring road, it felt like they had activated some kind of cheat code, speeding down the highway at an insane pace.

"Ahh! Boss, slow down, I’m gonna die!" Eddie screamed.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you get a proper funeral!" Hazel responded calmly.

Eddie almost choked on his own blood from the shock, barely surviving the scare, though he almost died from the frustration.

The car in pursuit stayed right on their tail, refusing to give up.

Assistant Kin looked strained. "Mr. Price, from my judgment, the driver of the car ahead seems to be a professional racer. You might have the wrong person. Do we continue chasing?"

At the moment they passed the car, Damon caught a glimpse of a familiar profile.

He and Hazel had been married for three years, so he should be able to recognize her.

"Chase her!"

His command was short, sharp, and decisive.

Hazel wasn't familiar with the road conditions in this area, and seeing that there was no way to escape ahead, she shouted, "Hold on tight!"

Before Eddie could react, everything spun around. A loud screech echoed through the air.

The car executed a 180-degree drift.

The car behind followed closely, blocking their path.

The two cars faced each other, both flashing their hazards. The engines roared like beasts about to fight for dominance in the wild.

Through the windshield, no one could clearly see each other's face, but the tension and provocation between them were palpable.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Eddie swallowed hard. "Boss, if that bastard Damon finds out you’re the one messing with him, it’ll be a big problem."

Hazel smiled, her lips curling. "That's exactly what I want—to mess with him!"

In the next moment, she shifted gears and slammed the gas pedal.

The two cars collided head-on, forcing the other to slide backward a few meters before Hazel pushed forward and sped away.

She rolled down the window, extending her hand to provocatively wave at them.

No one expected such a bold move, and even Kin was stunned.

Looking at the man in the back seat, his face was dark with anger, and his eyes stormed with barely contained fury.

"Within one hour, find this person and bring them to me!" he ordered.

He was determined to see who had the guts to toy with Damon Price.

Meanwhile...

Eddie had gotten out of the car, clutching a tree and vomiting violently. Between his retching, he managed to give Hazel a thumbs-up. “Boss, you’re incredible! You still dare to mess with Damon Price? I’ll die happy if I never have to witness a scene like this again.”

Hazel slowly tied her hair into a high ponytail, the upward tilt of her eyes adding a seductive charm to her expression. "It was just a warm-up. Nothing to brag about. By the way, get me a few people."

"Get people for what?"

"To do something big."

Life was truly perfect."Madam, it’s not good..." A servant rushed in in panic.The servant, who was kneeling and doing Adele's nails, trembled in shock, causing the nail polish to go crooked.Adele kicked her over, shouting angrily, "Idiot! You can’t even handle something this small? What good are you to me?

    Mr. and Mrs. Price had arrived at Damon’s place.Mrs. Price, Agatha, kept glancing at Delilah’s belly with a bright, happy expression."That’s wonderful, thank God! Our son is going to be a father so soon. Although Demian is gone, God has brought a new life to the Price family. If not for this, I really wouldn’t know how to go on!"Agatha said, her eyes teary. Demian was her second son, who had tragically passed away in an accident."Don’t worry, Aunt. I’ll take good care of you and the child from now on," Delilah said obediently, displaying her cultured demeanor.Agatha wiped her tears. "How many months along are you?""Two months!""Not bad. From now on, you shouldn’t go anywhere. Stay here at the mansion and take good care of yourself!" Agatha patted Delilah’s hand, then turned to her son.

It seemed she wasn't as simple as she appeared.Before Damon could respond, Kin carefully glanced up and saw the fire burning in his eyes.He quickly lowered his head, pretending he hadn’t seen anything."Prepare the car.

    Eddie clenched his fist and took a step forward, but Hazel stopped him.It was no surprise that Delilah had probably already told Damon about this. Now, she was clearly trying to use this opportunity to play the victim in front of him, wasn't she?Hazel wasn’t going to let Delilah get away with it."You’re already pregnant, and yet Damon doesn’t care enough to keep you at home, letting you run around like this?"Before Delilah could respond, Hazel continued, "Damon didn’t marry you because he was with me. Now that we’ve divorced, why hasn’t he married you yet?"With just two sentences, she left Delilah speechless, her face turning red as she stomped her feet in frustration.The nanny behind Delilah, worried about her belly, quickly stepped in front of her to block Hazel."Mr. Price marrying Miss Hasani is only a matter of time, but you—you're just a discarded shoe now. You've fallen so low, serving so many men. How can you still stand there acting so high and mighty?"Though the maids

    Bailey was determined to make Hazel agree to let her invite friends over, even if it meant risking her life. “I don’t care! I already told my friends I’d invite them to my house for my birthday. If they can’t come, how will I ever face them again? I’ll just die!” Bailey threw herself onto Adele, pouting. Adele only had this one daughter, whom she had pampered and protected all her life—treating her as if she were fragile. Now, Bailey was making demands that Adele couldn’t refuse. Adele grabbed her daughter’s phone and started scrolling through the news about Hazel, when she suddenly came across a comment that revealed Hazel had been Damon’s ex-wife. “That's why there’s been no news about Hazel all these years. She must’ve married into the Price family.” With the Price family’s influence, it was easy to protect their daughter-in-law’s identity. “What do you mean?” Bailey snatched the phone away, noticing the comments below and was shocked to learn t

    When Hazel woke up, her phone had been flooded with calls from board members and Jonah. Before she could figure out what had happened, there was a knock at the door. “Hazel, get up. There’s a situation at the company, and you need to handle it!” Seeing that she wasn’t answering her phone, Jonah had shown up in person. After quickly freshening up, Hazel followed him out. On the way, she got a rough understanding of the situation. After the Queen Corp’s recent CEO reshuffling, the company was already in turmoil. Some long-term partners had pulled out upon seeing that the new CEO was just a young woman. Currently, the Queen Corp was surviving on small projects, and even some senior employees had been poached. The company was barely holding together and was close to becoming an empty shell. At the beginning, the board members had been reluctant to let Hazel take over the company. However, they couldn’t oppose her outright since she held 20% of the shares. Now that the company was

    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

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.

    "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

[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. He couldn’t fathom how these two could still discuss work while their lives were hanging by a thread.[Alright, enough. Go to bed. We need to get up early tomorrow,] he said, breaki

    Hazel carefully examined the dishes on the table, and her face immediately darkened. These were not her favorite foods, but her mother Novaria's favorites, which meant that the man in front of her must have had a close relationship with her mother.Given that he knew her mother's favorite dishes so well, their relationship couldn’t just be described as ‘good’ anymore.They were either the closest of kin or each other’s greatest and most formidable enemies.Only these two kinds of people could know each other so thoroughly.From the way the man had acted toward her, Hazel guessed that his relationship with her mother was likely the former."What is your relationship with my parents? These dishes are all my mother's favorites, and you’re so familiar with her," Hazel asked, her voice cold, as if laced with poison.

Without waiting for Damon to respond, the person on the other end hung up. Damon held the phone for a long time without putting it down. He and Xander were close enough for Xander to hear the voice from the phone. In other words, every move they made was being monitored by this person. They were both CEOs—one of HX, the other of Price Corp—who were already regarded as elites in the eyes of ordinary people, but in this person’s eyes, they were no more significant than ants.
