Hazel had just secured a piece of land from Omar, and now many people were eyeing the plot, hoping to collaborate with Queen Corp.

"Hazel, Xander just sent over some brand logos. Take a look and see which one fits best."

Sully walked over to Hazel with a tablet, showing the logos designed by Xander’s team for their collaboration.

Hazel glanced through the designs but wasn’t satisfied.

"Are these the only ones? The first few are too focused on HX Corp’s logo, making it hard to see Queen Corp’s presence. The latter ones overemphasize our characteristics, which doesn’t work either."

"Tell Xander to have his designers work overtime. We need a logo that reflects the harmonious blend of our brands. These won’t do."

After saying that, Hazel returned to her work. This was a crucial time for Queen Corp’s rise, and after all the effort she had put in, she couldn’t afford to stumble now.

Sully glanced at the tablet and then back at Hazel’s

    Hazel realized that she had only mentioned being hungry to Sully while at the company, so it must have been Sully who told Xander. Thinking back to how Sully had acted when she left earlier, Hazel suddenly understood what they were up to. The call was from Eddie, so it was likely that Eddie had learned about Xander’s intentions to confess. "Hazel? What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Hazel furrowed her brows, looking as if she was in discomfort. She suddenly bent forward, clutching her stomach. "I’m feeling a little unwell. Can you take me to the hospital near my place?" She then slid back into the car, her face pale. Though it wasn’t right to lie, this might be the best outcome for them. She knew that there was no possibility between her and Xander, and she didn’t want to lose him as a friend. After the car had driven a little ways, Hazel’s condition seemed to improve, her face regaining some colo

    After some thought, Marco decided to clearly tell Damon what had happened. He only left out a few details, particularly about how he had known in advance that Jonah planned to drug someone. It was just that Damon's eyes were too bloodshot. If he told the whole story, Marco worried that before he even got to the part where he saved Hazel, Damon might pounce and devour him alive. "This is how things went. At first, I had some ulterior motives, but it was also Jonah who convinced me. Later, when I saw Hazel being bullied by Jonah, I couldn’t stand it." "I really can’t understand, as Hazel’s uncle, how could Jonah have done such things?" Every time Marco spoke, Damon’s eyes grew redder, and by the time Marco finished speaking, he was completely silent. "Go. I won’t take any more action against the Lennon family, on the condition that you never show up in front of Hazel again. Otherwise, by the next day, I’ll make sure the Lennon family’s name hits the news.

    Soon, Sully entered. She stood across from Hazel, looking at her with a puzzled expression, as if Hazel was someone she just couldn't understand. "Hazel, you've changed. You weren't like this before. I feel like I don't quite understand you now." Hazel didn’t feel hurt. Instead, she looked back at Sully with a strange look in her eyes. "Sully, it's not that you don't understand me, it's that you don’t understand love." Upon hearing this, Sully was even more confused. She had dated before while abroad, so how could she not understand love? "I know, you're probably thinking that you’ve dated before, but you’ve never truly loved anyone. Love hasn't played a significant role in your life yet." What Hazel said might have been a bit presumptuous, but that was how she felt. Although her previous relationship with Damon had ended poorly, it hadn’t taken away her ability to love. In fact, that failed relationship had taught her how to love someone. She stil

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   In Rescue

    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

    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.

    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

    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
