Secret Room
Last Updated:
2024-12-31 19:45:53The once grand villa now felt empty after Jonah’s family had moved out. Hazel and Sully stood in the middle of the living room, scanning the house.
The garden outside still looked the same as when they arrived, but everywhere else had become like a wasteland.
"Hazel, should we renovate the house back to its original state?"
Sully stepped forward and draped an arm around Hazel’s shoulders, trying to offer her some strength.
The place where the once happy family of three had lived now lay in this state, and it was hard for anyone’s heart to bear.
Moreover, the people she loved most had already left her.
"You really understand me. It's good to have you here, so you can keep an eye on things. Let's go, let's see that secret room you mentioned."
The study was mostly unchanged. Adele’s family had no use for the room, and even Jonah wasn’t a fan of reading.
Also, since the study had many valuable calligraphy and antiques, they were af

Before Hazel could reply to Damon, Sheila’s approval of the friend request came through.[Hello, Miss Queen. Is it you who needs to renovate a house?]Hazel didn’t expect Sheila to respond so quickly. She had thought someone as busy as her would take a while to reply, or that her request might sink into oblivion.[Yes, a villa needs to be renovated, but I don’t have the blueprints, only photos of the renovations. Will this affect the renovation results?][It shouldn't be a problem. I’ve had clients who didn’t even have photos and only gave descriptions. I still managed to design a satisfactory house for them.]If Hazel didn’t know the person on the other side was such a renowned designer, she might have thought she was just boasting.But then again, for someone who had made such a successful career in design, these things must be routine for her.[If you have time to take on my project, perhaps we could

After Hazel returned, she completely reshuffled the company’s staff, and now there are only a few employees left that Jonah can rely on. The employees who used to work on projects for him have now joined Hazel and are pursuing their own projects. As the vice president of the company, he has no access to some of the core operations and can’t secure major projects. At this rate, Jonah is about to be sidelined. Even if he manages to secure a few projects from the Price family today, it would give him more leverage within the company. As for how Hazel might feel or respond, that’s no longer his concern. They’ve already torn their relationship apart. As for the dowry issue with the Price family, even if it spreads, it will only embarrass Hazel, and it has nothing to do with him as her uncle. “Old Master Price, I’ve come to discuss the matter between Hazel and Damon. You must know that Hazel’s parents passed away in an accident…” Before Jonah could finis

Jonah was stunned. How could it be that both Damon and Grandpa Mark were saying the same thing? "When we divorced, I gave Hazel a sum of money, but she returned it all to me. She didn’t want it at that time. Why would she let you come here to ask for it now?" After a pause, Damon continued, "Grandpa must have told you about how he wanted to give Hazel 2% of Price Corp’s shares as a wedding gift, but she firmly rejected it. You didn’t even bother to check the details before coming to our door. Vice President Queen, don’t you feel ashamed?" Jonah’s mind felt like it had exploded. 2% of Price Corp’s shares was no small amount. Even if Hazel spent money recklessly for her entire life, it would be enough for her to squander. Yet she had refused it. Did she even understand the value of 2% of Price Corp’s shares? Jonah wished he could travel back in time and force Hazel to agree to the Price family’s offer. If she had, she wouldn’t be back now, fighting him fo

“I’m a straightforward person, so don’t take offense. But honestly, this villa looks worse than shit right now. I can’t even imagine how the person who demolished the original design could have done it.”“Look here, this was clearly a beautiful bar area, but they knocked it down and expanded the dining room…”Sheila rambled on about the design, mostly complaining about the current renovations and praising the original design.As a designer, she really couldn’t understand why anyone would destroy such a beautiful setup and turn the villa into this mess.The more Sheila went on, the more relieved Hazel felt. Only someone who truly appreciated the design would take the time to restore it to its original form.“Miss Tucker, I’ll leave this villa to you. I have only one request: please don’t make any changes to the photos I’ve given you. If anything needs adjustment, let’s discuss it together.”Since returning, Hazel had been struggling with whet

Kin didn’t try to make excuses for himself when things went wrong."We had tracked down some leads from Marcus's former colleague, but when we followed that trail, we found out that this Marcus isn’t real," Kin explained."The real Marcus had sold his social media accounts to someone else a long time ago, and even had this person post fragments of his life using the account. However, no personal photos were posted, so his colleagues believed the person in the circle of friends was the real Marcus."From these events, Kin could tell that Marcus was no simple person. This tactic alone showed how prepared he was. It seemed that he had already anticipated the retaliation from the Price family and had made plans to cover his tracks long ago.Months had passed, and now that they were finally looking for him, the difficulty had only increased.Seeing how cautious Marcus had been, Kin was starting to feel more overwhelmed. His social media accounts were fa
Last Updated : 2025-01-03Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours Big Idea
A few days later, a rumor suddenly surfaced online, involving Jonah going to the Price family to demand a dowry for Hazel. A marketing account shared the news, making it sound as though the person had witnessed it firsthand, and it quickly spread. Sully brought her phone over to Hazel. "A while ago, we only warned the media, but we haven't publicly addressed these marketing accounts online. What do you want to do about it?" This kind of thing couldn't be stirred up by just one marketing account; they wouldn't even report on news that wouldn't gain traction. Ultimately, someone had paid for it to be spread. "This is a good opportunity to teach them a lesson. Even if we don’t warn them in the future, they won’t dare to spread nonsense like this again." Actually, for Hazel, this sudden development might not be all bad. After all, she had just held a press conference, and now she could give these people a lesson. It would show them that when Hazel speaks, it’s n

Hazel’s parents were no longer around, and the person closest to her now was himself, but if he kept being so unreasonable, it would truly break her heart. “So, should I be thanking you instead?” Hazel laughed outright, finding Jonah’s pathetic acting utterly ridiculous. “We’re all family—why talk about gratitude? I just didn’t expect that your actions would bring such a big problem to the company,” he said, feigning regret. Sully sneered coldly and slammed a stack of A4 papers onto the conference table. “Vice President Queen, are you pretending not to know, or do you genuinely not know? I’ve traced everything. These so-called marketing accounts have all claimed they were paid by you to stir things up. Care to explain?” Over the years, Jonah had built a bit of a reputation outside the company. Using that clout to pull stunts like this wasn’t entirely unexpected. But he had underestimated Hazel’s abilities. He assumed she wouldn’t be able to trace t

At the Price Old Mansion, Grandpa Mark had been up early, supervising the house's preparations. Once everything was in order, he went to the kitchen to ensure the cook prepared all of Hazel's favorite dishes. By eleven o'clock in the morning, everything was ready. Grandpa Mark was about to call Hazel to ask when she would arrive, so he could signal the kitchen to start cooking, but was stopped by Butler Hank. "Sir, I understand you're anxious, but it's not appropriate to rush Miss Queen. She might be busy with work. The cooking is quick, and I'll have the time-consuming dishes stewed in advance. Please be patient." After thinking for a moment, Grandpa Mark agreed. Butler Hank's suggestion made sense—if he kept pushing Hazel, she might get annoyed and not want to come again. Upstairs, Delilah and Agatha had not come downstairs all morning. They overheard the servants talking about Grandpa Mark’s unusual actions and both wore expressions of disdain. "I don't k

Hazel was naturally very familiar with the ringtone. Her expression changed instantly, realizing that Damon had been monitoring her all the way here.Seeing the look on Hazel’s face, Charles couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction."This ringtone... it can’t be President Price’s, can it? He’s here too?" As he spoke, Charles directed his gaze at Carlos.Carlos took a deep breath, thinking to himself, It’s over. Completely over.

"What are they talking about so happily? Hazel is even smiling at that Charles?" Damon gritted his teeth, almost wanting to march over and pull Hazel away, but he couldn’t do that. If he showed up in front of Hazel again, she would definitely think he was spying on her. From her reaction last time, it was clear that she really didn’t like being watched. No, nobody likes being watched. "How about you pretend to bump into them and say hi? You guys aren't strangers, it’s normal to greet each other if you run into each other. It’s just like how I bumped into them." Carlos didn’t know about the incident between Damon and Hazel last time, but his suggestion made Damon realize that there was now someone else present, besides himself. When he turned back to look at Carlos, a glint of understanding flashed in his eyes. Before he could speak, Carlos already understood his meaning. Initially intending to refuse, he thought about it and decided against it. Damon’s

No matter what, Queen Corp's future path will only get smoother. At this point, when Queen Corp is still not at its peak, collaborating well with them will only benefit the Whitmans, with no drawbacks. Not only that, but Charles also had some personal motives toward Hazel. At first, he just wanted to oppose Damon, which is why he wanted to get close to Hazel. But for some reason, the more he got to know her, the more he found himself drawn to her, unable to pull away. When he thought about it, if he could marry Hazel, it would be great. Both of them were workaholics, and their two companies could have even deeper cooperation. Once the Whitman and Queen families merged, they could become the most powerful group in Vernon, and even the Price family would be nothing compared to them. But these were just thoughts for now. No matter what, Charles could at least try. Whether it worked out or not didn’t matter—what mattered was that he had tried. "For suc

In the Price Corp building, Kin was reporting to Damon about Delilah’s situation. Since she was already in prison, it was only natural for Kin to make some arrangements. Moreover, Kin had recently uncovered some of Delilah’s past secrets, which made dealing with her even easier. "I’ve taken care of things at the prison, but Delilah keeps shouting, insisting that she wants to see you once. Should we let her?" They already knew most of what needed to be known, and now Delilah wanted to see Damon. It seemed that she regretted telling him everything earlier. If she still had anything Damon didn’t know about, she wouldn’t just be asking to see him. She would have tried to use her secrets to lure him in. Deep down, she must know that Damon would never just visit her for no reason. "Is that all she said, just wanting to see me?" Kin shook his head. "She didn’t say anything else. She was almost out of her mind when she mentioned seeing you. Her mental state doe

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.

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
