When Omar had been at his peak in the organization, he had been a mid-level manager. While he had come up with several successful management strategies and ways to help the organization secure more funding, he had never been privy to the full scope of the group’s secrets. 

At the time, Omar had suggested a method for the organization to help capable individuals start their businesses. Once their ventures succeeded, they were required to contribute research funds to the organization.

That’s how the Price family enterprise came to be, and as it turned out, this strategy worked well. After all, Price Corp still allocated a substantial sum every year to the organization.

If the Queen family were still under Jacob’s leadership, they too would be contributing a large research fund to the organization every year.

Research, especially in pharmaceuticals, is costly. Without ways to raise funds, the organization’s projects would be impossible to advance.

    Seeing the woman leaning in closer, Damon quickly turned and walked to the sofa beside his grandfather."What’s going on? Who is she? Why is everyone looking at me like this?"The looks from his family, combined with the woman’s face, gave Damon an uneasy feeling.He had just gotten rid of Delilah—was another troublesome person about to show up?"Damon, you really don’t remember me? It’s me, Chrissy Winslow! We used to play together all the time when we were kids, don’t you remember?"Back when the Price family hadn’t moved to Vernon, they lived next door to the Winslow family. Damon and Chrissy were childhood friends, practically growing up together. However, Damon was always more reserved and rarely spoke, so most of the time, it was Chrissy who chased after him."You’re Chrissy? But back then..."Damon’s voice trailed off as he suddenly recalled something—Chrissy had a noticeable birthmark on her face as a child, and her features d

    After hanging up the phone, Damon sat in his room for a while, trying to calm down. He guessed that Agatha and the others would soon see the news online. He wasn’t sure how she would handle it, but perhaps with her son by her side, she would be a little better off. Downstairs, Agatha and Chrissy were chatting away, while Mark and Jamal were playing chess and sipping tea, seemingly unaware of the news flooding the internet. It was fine if they hadn’t noticed yet. As long as the trending topics had made it online, that was enough. It didn’t matter how long they stayed up, as long as Hazel saw them. Once the buzz died down, the discussion would die down too, and by the time Agatha saw it, it wouldn’t be as hard to accept. When Agatha saw Damon, she immediately pulled him over. "What’s with you? There are guests in the house, and you’re hiding upstairs by yourself. What’s that about?" "You and Chrissy aren’t strangers. Why not chat with her? We were just ta

    The two of them had grown up together, so they shared a certain understanding. Damon immediately grasped the situation and went to speak with Mark and Jamal. He wanted them to be mentally prepared, in case Agatha couldn’t handle it and needed to call the family doctor. By evening, Agatha had finally seen the news online. Thankfully, her reaction wasn’t as exaggerated as Damon had expected. On the contrary, she seemed much calmer than he had imagined. Perhaps it was because she had already known about the things that had been exposed, or maybe it was because the public mostly sided with the Price family, with most of the comments targeting Delilah. In any case, Agatha seemed unaffected, though her face was a little pale, which was understandable given the involvement of Demian. However, the next day, when Damon saw Agatha’s swollen eyes, he realized he had underestimated the emotional toll this incident had on her. But there was nothing they could do. Re

    At HX Corp, only some of the veteran employees remembered Hazel. However, over the years, many new employees had come and gone, and it was possible that even those who had met her in the past no longer remembered her. "That’s fine. It’ll be a good opportunity to use your position as the president of Queen Corp to make connections with the influential people at headquarters. If we have more collaborations in the future, things will go more smoothly." "So when do we leave?" Xander sat across from Hazel, while Sully leaned against her desk, both looking at Hazel intently. "I still have some work to finish up. Give me a day and a half to handle some pressing issues. We can leave first thing the day after tomorrow." "No need." Sully walked over to Hazel and opened her computer. She knew that Hazel had a habit of keeping urgent tasks highlighted on her desktop. After quickly scanning through the list of tasks, she waved her hand dismissively. "You two g

    If it weren’t for the vow he had already made to her, Damon would have shamelessly gone to find her right now. Kin was at a loss for words, as this situation was indeed tricky. The two of them stood facing each other in awkward silence, unsure of what to say, when suddenly the office door was pushed open, and Chrissy walked in. “What’s going on here? Why does the atmosphere feel so off?” Bored after spending time at the Price family’s home, Agatha had suggested Chrissy visit the company. She’d mentioned that there wasn’t much for Damon to do at the office recently, and perhaps he could use a distraction. However, as soon as she entered, Chrissy noticed something wasn’t right. Kin was standing in front of Damon, and they were both staring at each other without saying anything. Damon had a grim expression on his face, while Kin appeared to be trying to make a quick exit. Kin, who hadn’t met Chrissy before, frowned when he saw her barge in. His mood

    "You’re talking about Hazel and Xander going on the business trip to D Country together?" Chrissy asked again. Damon nodded vigorously, and Kin immediately became tense. Chrissy clicked her tongue and slapped Damon on the shoulder. "What’s there to hesitate about? Just go with her!" "Not only should you go, but you should do it openly. If you have any work related to D Country, go there on a business trip yourself—anything small will do. Just make sure Hazel knows that you’re going to D Country for her." Chrissy sighed, clearly puzzled. She couldn’t understand why someone would hide their feelings. If you don’t show them, how can you expect the other person to respond? "This isn’t a good idea, Miss Winslow. You might not know Miss Queen well, but she’s a strong person and doesn’t like Mr. Price constantly hovering around her. She says it feels suffocating." Chrissy rolled her eyes dramatically. It was bad enough that Damon was so thick-headed, but

    Xander hadn’t contacted anyone he knew in D Country before returning. It felt awkward to disturb people this late at night. So, he settled for a small hotel nearby. It would do for just one night; tomorrow he could head back to his house in D Country. His place was a small villa not far from his company, spacious enough. He and Sully had stayed there together before, and now it would be perfect to bring Hazel and stay for a few days. In the early hours, Damon landed in D Country. He and Kin had made a last-minute decision to come, and Kin hadn’t even had time to arrange for anyone to pick them up. The two of them stood outside the airport, and it was so late that there were barely any cars on the road. After a lot of effort, Kin finally managed to book a ride online, but the car wouldn’t arrive for another twenty minutes. During this time, he had also found out which hotel Hazel was staying at. "Sir, Miss Queen's hotel doesn’t have any available r

    Other hotel guests, disturbed by the commotion, opened their doors and told Damon to lower his voice. However, when he shot them a cold glance, they quickly slammed their doors shut and fell silent. After a while, Hazel finally ran over and opened the door. She had been exhausted from her flight and had fallen asleep almost immediately after freshening up at the hotel. In her sleep, she vaguely heard someone knocking at the door but couldn’t wake up until she heard Damon’s voice. That’s when she realized it wasn’t just a dream; someone was indeed knocking. When she looked through the peephole and saw that it was Damon, her shock was immediate. She quickly opened the door. The moment the door swung open, Damon stormed in and yelled, “Xander, you jerk! Taking advantage of someone when they're vulnerable—you're not a real man!” He yelled for a long while, scouring every corner of the hotel room, but didn’t find any trace of the other person.

    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

  • 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
