At the Price old residence, Damon suddenly remembered that he hadn’t seen his father in a long time as he was heading out that morning, so he asked the Butler.

"Uncle Hank, what exactly did Grandpa send my dad to do? It feels like he’s been gone for a long time."

Butler Hank calculated the time, "Mr. Jamal has been gone for nearly a month. If I hadn't thought about it, I wouldn’t have realized it’s been this long."

"But as for what Mr. Mark sent Mr. Jamal to do, I really don’t know. Young master, you should know this kind of thing. Mr. Mark never lets me in on work matters, and besides, it’s something even you don’t know about."

Damon furrowed his brow but didn’t ask further.

It seemed he should ask his grandfather about it. If something had happened, he should find a way to help handle things for the family.

When he arrived at the company, Damon felt uneasy. Ever since he had thought about his father this morning, something felt off, and the odd feelin

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Finding Excuse

    Things haven’t been going well at Queen Corp these past few days. Hazel seems to live at the company, working from dawn until dusk, but many issues still haven’t been resolved. Some people are starting to lose patience and have gone to find Jonah, who, in order to avoid them, has been claiming to be sick and staying home instead of going to the office. He hadn’t expected them to still come after him. "Mr. Queen, you seemed fine during the meeting a few days ago. Why are you suddenly sick?" one of them asked. "Yeah, the company’s been facing a lot of issues lately. We’re older and don’t really have positions at the company, so all we can do is worry. You’re the vice president and at a time like this, you take leave? Hazel might not even be able to handle all the company’s problems on her own." Two older shareholders, with relatively high stakes in the company, came directly to Jonah’s home. When they saw him fine and greeting them, their faces darkened. He wa

    "I’ve mostly recovered, so I rushed back to the company. If there’s anything I can help with, just let me know. Although I’m not as capable as you, I can still handle some tasks." Just as she was speaking, Sully walked in with some documents. "Oh, I thought it was someone else in the CEO’s office. Turns out it’s Vice President Queen. What a rare guest. Running away from something?" Jonah knew that only Hazel was in the office, so he wasn’t expecting Sully to return so quickly. Whenever he encountered Sully, he found it hard to have a proper conversation. Now, being in such a disadvantaged position, he knew Sully would make some sarcastic remarks. "Assistant Sully, I’m currently discussing important company matters with the CEO. You’re just an assistant, so perhaps you should step out for now and wait until I’m done with President Queen," Jonah said carefully. He knew Sully and Hazel were close, and even though he said these words, he had to be cautious.

    Meanwhile, in the president’s office at the top floor of Price Corp, Damon leaned on his hands, frowning as he reviewed the information Kin had uncovered.“So, the company has been regularly transferring significant amounts of money to an overseas account for years. Were you able to find out which company this account belongs to?”Recalling his grandfather’s cryptic remarks, Damon suspected these payments were orchestrated by him. However, his curiosity only grew stronger—what exactly was this organization, and how powerful was it?The less his grandfather wanted to reveal, the more determined he was to uncover the truth, especially since his father’s situation was also deteriorating.The men Damon sent out had only managed to locate a phone at the last known location—a device his grandfather confirmed was the one his father had taken with him.“No, the payments were made under the guise of a partnership. The recipient company’s information exists,

    “Cut the crap! Hand over everything valuable you have, put your hands on your head, and squat down!”Hazel sneered. It had been a long time since she’d heard such a clichéd line. These guys weren’t even trying to act convincing.If this were just a simple robbery, there was no way their attire would be so uniform—not to mention their builds were all remarkably similar.No, this was clearly organized and premeditated. They’d probably been tailing her for a long time, just waiting for the right moment to strike.Seeing that Hazel wasn’t the least bit intimidated, the group grew agitated.“I’ll say it one more time. Hand over your valuables. Boys, go search the car. She’s Hazel Queen—she’s bound to have some expensive stuff on her.”Hazel quickly assessed the situation. There were five of them in total, and none had mentioned their names while speaking“Boss, if she won’t cooperate, let me teach her a lesson. It’s been ages since I’ve to

    As soon as the words were out, Hazel released her grip, and Edo collapsed to the ground like a cooked noodle, weak and limp.The leader hurried over to check his breath, and when he felt that Edo was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.“We’ve told you everything we know. There’s a cause for every debt. Can you give us a way out?”In the darkness, Hazel couldn’t see their expressions, but she could imagine their fear.If they had attacked an ordinary girl this time, their faces would probably be just like those of the women they had previously targeted.“I didn’t intend to harm you. I will let you go. Tomorrow, go to the police and confess. My car has a recording, and I will cooperate with you. If you turn yourselves in, you’ll likely receive a lighter sentence. Consider it the last favor I’m doing for you.”After saying this, Hazel got into her car. She wasn’t worried they wouldn&r

    "However, when I say small projects, I mean ones that aren't the big projects your company handles. Queen Corp can't afford those right now." Hearing this, Omar was immediately stunned. The small projects in his eyes were exactly the kinds of projects that Hazel was referring to—projects that Queen Corp currently couldn't handle. "If you can't manage, just cooperate with Grandpa’s company. I’ll send a few capable people over to your company, and you won’t have to worry about the projects or the staff." Omar was so pleased with his own suggestion that he didn’t notice the change in Hazel’s expression. When Omar finally realized, Hazel spoke up, "Grandpa, we talked about this at the family reunion. You can’t spoil me like this." Omar waved his hand and stood up to go upstairs. "Alright, alright, I admit I was wrong. Go to sleep, I’m going to bed too." After all, at his age, what difference did it make if he took charge directly? Hazel couldn’t do anything

    "How about this? The branch we’ve established still doesn’t have many projects. We can temporarily lend some of our people to your company." Hazel immediately rejected, "Let’s not talk about whether your employees agree, just the idea alone is enough for me to get criticized at the shareholders' meeting." She would have to borrow employees from another company to handle her own company’s issues? If those old men who didn’t understand the situation found out, they would surely lecture Hazel. Moreover, the HX branch had just been established and was in need of people. Hazel couldn’t pass all these troubles onto Xander. He had already done enough for her as a friend. "Last night, Grandpa asked me if I needed employees. If it’s necessary, I can borrow a few from him. His company is already well-established, so it shouldn’t be a big problem." At first, Hazel intended to handle these matters herself, but it seemed she would have to use her connection with Omar aft

    Back in the office, after sending those two off, Bailey walked in. Hazel was busy handling the project sent by Omar and didn’t have time for her. “If you have any work-related matters, just directly report to Sully. Remember, she’s your superior now, and you’re reporting to the wrong person.” “I’m not here to report work. My parents want you to come to dinner at our house this afternoon. You should know, it’s not me who wants you to come.” Bailey put on an arrogant posture, her nose upturned, as if she didn’t want Hazel to come to her house. But Hazel could see through her act. The more she acted this way, the more it seemed like she wanted Hazel to visit. Using such a childish tactic, it was hard to believe that Jonah had entrusted her with this task. “If that’s the case, I’ll do you a favor. I’m really busy with work, though, so I don’t have time.” With that, Hazel lowered her head and started working again. Bailey grew anxious and slapped her ha

    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

    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

    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
