2024-12-28 19:44:07Sully glanced teasingly at Xander, her eyes darting back and forth between him and Hazel.
Ever since Hazel had taken some time to help manage their HX Group, she and Xander had been interacting more frequently, much to Sully’s delight as she tagged along, enjoying the sweet moments between them.
The office building adjacent to Queen Corp had been purchased by Xander at a considerable cost. Being a branch second only to the headquarters, the location had to be impeccable.
Without hesitation, Xander had focused on the area surrounding Queen Corp when searching for the site.
While it was true that Queen Corp’s location was excellent, Vernon City had plenty of other prime spots to offer. His intentions were glaringly obvious.
“This isn’t your first time visiting this place, is it?”
Under Sully’s knowing gaze, Xander’s eyes flickered with unease for a brief moment before he quickly led them inside for a tour, using the opportunity to close the di

Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours Comforting the Ex-Wife
“The last time, just because you secretly met with Damon, Delilah almost lost the baby in her belly. And now, you’re coming here to stir up trouble again? If anything really happens to Delilah, do you think Damon will let you off the hook?”At this moment, Agatha looked like a furious street quarrelled woman, completely unlike the matriarch of a prestigious family.It was clear that they had approached them first, yet now Agatha was blaming others. It was truly laughable.“Auntie, if you keep going like this, you might not even be able to keep Uncle Jamal. You're already of a certain age and can't make money. If you really get separated from Uncle Jamal and the Price family, how will you survive?”Hazel was known for her sharp tongue, and she wouldn’t spare Agatha just because she was Damon’s mother. Their relationship hadn’t reached that point yet.“If I were one of the Price family men, and married someone like her, who only brings shame to the f
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-29Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours Clear Evidence
This was the clearest video Damon had ever seen—he could clearly see Demian’s face. Although the distance wasn’t very close, it was clear enough to see that Delilah had pushed Demian off the bungee jumping platform. With the videos from earlier, Damon pieced together the entire situation. Delilah had taken Demian to do the tandem bungee jump. At the last moment, Delilah got scared and backed out, leaving Demian to go alone. That explained why Delilah was seen behind him, wearing the equipment. From the final video, it was apparent that the staff had just finished putting the equipment on Demian when they noticed an issue and were about to fix it when Delilah suddenly pushed him off the platform. Demian bounced in the air a couple of times before falling into the water. It looked like a freak accident caused by a malfunctioning device, but the true culprit was Delilah. Even if there was a device malfunction, based on the staff’s reaction, it was clear th

"What did you mean by the message you just sent? Please explain clearly. What do you mean by thinking that Damon has already investigated the matter with Demian?!" The voice on the other end of the line was Marcus, the staff member who Kin had been searching for but couldn’t find. Delilah hadn’t been in contact with him for a long time. If it weren’t for Marcus suddenly sending her such a strange message, she would have almost forgotten about that incident from back then. "Some of my former colleagues mentioned that Damon was investigating the video from back then. I asked a few people, and they all said that Damon has found quite a few videos. Also, his assistant, Kin, seems to have been looking for me. It’s not certain yet, but all the signs point to the fact that Damon might have already discovered what happened." After the incident, Delilah was so frightened that she nearly fainted. Marcus quickly took her to the break room. Just as he was about to go out to

After speaking, she looked at Hazel again. "Hazel, it's one thing that you don’t show respect to us elders, but now you’re allowing an outsider to disrespect us like this? Don't you care?" "Besides, she's just an assistant. Are you really going to let her insult your uncle and aunt like this? Let me tell you, this is also a sign of disrespect toward you, and it shows that you’re not fit to be the president of Queen Corp!" Adele’s indignation made Hazel and Sully laugh in disbelief. The two sat on the sofa, looking at Adele as if she were a clown. Jonah quickly stepped in to pull Adele back, signaling her to stop talking. Adele had never witnessed Sully's strength, but both Bailey and Jonah had. Someone like Adele was no match for Sully. "And who might this be?" Sully looked at Hazel, a hint of amusement in her eyes. Hazel played along, smiling as she introduced her, "This is my infamous aunt, who has a way with words. You’d better be careful." Thou

Omar had already gone abroad a few days ago, and the hard drive had been handed over to the professionals. However, the specifics haven't come back yet, but Hazel had enough confidence in the technicians Omar knew. As long as the content in the video could be restored, she would not hesitate to deal with Jonah’s family. But before that, she intended to torment them properly. "Hazel, what are you saying? We're family, and we've always followed the law. How could we suddenly end up in jail for no reason?" Jonah knew that Hazel’s bottom line was her grandparents and parents, and what Bailey had said today had struck at the heart of the matter. It was no wonder that Hazel was so furious. "I know Bailey's words upset you, but now you're kicking us out. We have nowhere to go. We're family; don’t make things so irreversible." Hazel grinned and took out her phone, showing the assets under Jonah's name that she had investigated. "So, this is what you c
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-31Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours Secret Room
The 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

Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours I Want It All Back
At first, Chrissy hadn’t noticed, but now she realized just how skilled Gavin was at coming up with excuses.Even after all this, he was still trying to make excuses for himself. Did he really think she was a fool? That she would believe anything he said?"Or is it that you can’t even take it out? You’ve been with me just for my money and body, haven’t you? Now that you’ve had your fun, why are you still struggling? During our relationship, you haven’t lost out."She was right—if Chrissy didn’t reclaim the money from their relationship, Gavin had already made a fortune.If he hadn’t squandered the money and wasn’t so vain, those funds could have sustained him for the rest of his life.“Damon, let those ladies in.”Gavin's mind tightened, an ominous premonition rushing to his head. He wanted to stop it, but he could only stand there and watch the door, hoping the people coming in weren’t the ones he dreaded seeing.But as expected, he
Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours Confront Gavin
Parents who dote on their children will always support them as long as they don't make a major mistake. Chrissy had been blinded by Gavin, and now she couldn’t even see such a simple truth. “I brought them back to confront Gavin face to face, but I was worried you couldn’t handle it, so I thought we’d talk first. Since you’re so strong, let’s go upstairs and confront Gavin together.” Chrissy looked up at Damon, a hint of resistance in her eyes. She wasn’t strong at all, and she wasn’t ready to accept this so easily. It was all forced. She nodded and followed Damon upstairs with the three women. Chrissy was a relatively traditional girl, so in the Price family, her room was far away from Gavin’s. One was at the far end of the second floor corridor, and the other was at the opposite end. Gavin’s room was close to the stairs, and as soon as Damon reached the second floor, he could faintly hear some sounds coming from inside Gavin’s room.
Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours Bad Feeling
Damon had already discussed this matter with Grandpa Mark, so Grandpa Mark was not surprised by his actions now. However, the thought that he had just resolved one issue with Agatha and now had to deal with Gavin left him feeling uneasy."Chrissy, you and Damon go to the tea room downstairs. He has something to tell you. Whatever he says, you’re an adult now, so you must stay calm."Damon, who wasn’t sure how to begin, was relieved that Grandpa Mark had taken care of the arrangement for him.Chrissy’s bad feeling only grew stronger, but she still did as Grandpa Mark had said.Damon instructed the housekeeper to take the three women to a more secluded spot before leading Chrissy to Grandpa Mark's tea room."Damon, what’s going on? Why is it so mysterious? Just tell me, otherwise, I’ll never feel at ease," Chrissy started questioning as soon as they entered the tea room. Damon took a deep breath before finally speaking."Chri
Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours Sincere Apology
The private room wasn’t small, but the table was relatively small, likely a special arrangement by the restaurant. After all, since the restaurant prioritized confidentiality, it needed to ensure that guests felt safe while dining there. The small table set up this way was designed so that guests wouldn’t feel like their private conversations could be overheard. "Hazel, I’ve already ordered the dishes in advance, all of them are your and Grandpa Omar’s favorites, and I’ve included some snacks that’s suitable for breakfast. I’ll have the server bring it in right away." After saying that, Damon pressed the button in front of him. Within a few seconds, the door opened, and a server entered, respectfully looking at Damon. "Mr. Price, may I serve the dishes?" Damon nodded slightly, and the server bowed and left the room. Soon, a series of dishes were brought into the room by a line of servers. The dishes were abundant, and they looked as good as th
Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours Private Dinner
No matter how you look at it, Hazel was the one who suffered the most from this incident, both mentally and physically.By the time Damon arrived at Hazel’s house, it was already past eight in the evening. Hazel had taken her medicine and was ready to rest, but when she heard that Damon had come to visit, she still went downstairs to greet him."Hazel, thank you. I know it must have been you who called Grandpa Omar and changed his mind. I need to sincerely apologize to you for the things my mother did.""Since it’s already so late, I’ve rescheduled the dinner to tomorrow morning. After my mom apologizes to you, she’ll head straight to the airport for a flight at 2 p.m."The press conference that was supposed to take place tomorrow morning had been canceled, saving them a lot of trouble."You don’t need to thank me. I just didn’t want my private matters to be exposed to the public. It has nothing to do with your family. Also, if your mother’s apolog

"Mark, I need to make it clear. If her attitude improves, she can return after ten years. But if she remains the same, she’ll stay abroad indefinitely."Before coming to the Price family, Omar had first gone to the company to have an agreement drafted, detailing how this matter would be handled.He took out two identical copies of the agreement and handed one to Mark."Look, we’re not getting any younger. Who knows when we’ll be gone?"“To ensure Hazel doesn’t get into trouble, I’ve drafted this agreement in advance. Both of us will sign it on behalf of the Price Corp and Omar Corp.”Even if Omar didn’t bring it up, Mark was already preparing this agreement.Agatha living abroad with Jamal might not be a bad thing for the Price family.Seeing Jamal’s attitude toward Agatha, it was impossible to expel her from the Price family. For the sake of the family’s future, it was necessary for Agatha to reform.During her time abroad, it

When the organizers announced the postponement, there was nothing anyone could do but return to their work.Fortunately, the tickets were still valid. The organizers assured them that the same tickets would be honored for the rescheduled event.Calculating the time, it seemed like the lecture would be in two days.Hazel answered the phone, and Sheila’s loud voice immediately came through.“Hazel, are you okay?! I just heard you were injured! I was going to visit you at the hospital, but I found out you’ve been discharged. Where are you? I’ll come right over!”Hazel paused for a moment. “I’m at the villa. You don’t have to—”Before she could finish, the call was abruptly disconnected. Hazel looked at her phone, already knowing that Sheila was definitely on her way.She had wanted to tell Sheila not to come today since they would meet in two days anyway, and Sheila was so busy with work. There was no need for her to make an extra trip.

One option was to have Jamal and Agatha go abroad together, at least not returning until after they were both over sixty.The other option was to make the matter public, with Agatha offering a public apology to Hazel and promising that such a thing would never happen again.Hazel hesitated for a while before speaking, “Since sending her to the police isn’t an option, let’s combine these two choices. First, have Agatha apologize publicly, and then send her abroad to start over before she comes back.”Hazel's expression was calm, as if she were speaking about something unrelated to her.This was one of the things Omar liked most about Hazel—though she was kind, she was far from being a martyr.“I thought you’d soften after hearing what Jamal had to say, but it seems I underestimated you. This is the right approach. If those who make mistakes aren’t punished, they’ll make the same mistakes again next time.”Hazel merely smiled and didn’t respon

Elias briefly checked Hazel and said there was nothing wrong, so she could be discharged. Since he would soon be pulled by Sully to check Hazel’s health again, he had already familiarized himself with her physical condition. Aside from the minor scalp injury, she wasn’t injured anywhere else. It seemed that her consistent physical exercise had given her a better-than-average physique. Elias had never encountered someone with such good physical health. Even the wound on her head was healing much faster than normal. If anyone other than him were treating Hazel, they would probably want to research her case, because her recovery was far from typical. If it weren’t for the fact that Hazel had a special identity, Elias might have even wanted to call his mentor to report this matter. After being discharged, Elias drove them back, and during the drive, Sully started telling Hazel about what had happened to her. "Hazel, there's something I nee
