Bailey was determined to make Hazel agree to let her invite friends over, even if it meant risking her life.

“I don’t care! I already told my friends I’d invite them to my house for my birthday. If they can’t come, how will I ever face them again? I’ll just die!” Bailey threw herself onto Adele, pouting.

Adele only had this one daughter, whom she had pampered and protected all her life—treating her as if she were fragile. Now, Bailey was making demands that Adele couldn’t refuse.

Adele grabbed her daughter’s phone and started scrolling through the news about Hazel, when she suddenly came across a comment that revealed Hazel had been Damon’s ex-wife.

“That's why there’s been no news about Hazel all these years. She must’ve married into the Price family.”

With the Price family’s influence, it was easy to protect their daughter-in-law’s identity.

“What do you mean?”

Bailey snatched the phone away, noticing the comments below and was shocked to learn t

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Pressure

    When Hazel woke up, her phone had been flooded with calls from board members and Jonah. Before she could figure out what had happened, there was a knock at the door. “Hazel, get up. There’s a situation at the company, and you need to handle it!” Seeing that she wasn’t answering her phone, Jonah had shown up in person. After quickly freshening up, Hazel followed him out. On the way, she got a rough understanding of the situation. After the Queen Corp’s recent CEO reshuffling, the company was already in turmoil. Some long-term partners had pulled out upon seeing that the new CEO was just a young woman. Currently, the Queen Corp was surviving on small projects, and even some senior employees had been poached. The company was barely holding together and was close to becoming an empty shell. At the beginning, the board members had been reluctant to let Hazel take over the company. However, they couldn’t oppose her outright since she held 20% of the shares. Now that the company was

    Hazel curled her lips and looped her arm through Eddie’s as they walked toward the resort. "You almost looked the part, but the moment you opened your mouth, it all fell apart. Try not to talk too much later.""Aren’t we here to meet a client? Why am I dressed up like this?""Remember, your role today is my boyfriend."A sleek black Bentley rolled to a stop at the resort entrance. Kin lowered the passenger-side window, carefully observing the figure walking into the resort."Mr. Price, I think that might’ve been Miss Queen just now."Damon chuckled softly. "She’s probably busy dealing with those old geezers at Queen Corp. How could she have time to come here? You must be mistaken."Kin frowned slightly but raised the window back up.He had heard about the recent chaos at Queen Corp. It was already surprising that Miss Queen had managed to become the group’s president in the first place.Jonah, unwilling to accept her position, was constantly opposing her, and Queen Corp’s internal pow

    Damon grabbed Hazel’s wrist, glaring at her furiously. Since their divorce, they hadn’t had a single proper conversation whenever they met.Hazel glanced at Damon but ultimately fixed her gaze on the woman standing beside Kin."Wow, you’ve got new taste now? Not bad. At least it’s an upgrade from Delilah—by a mile," Hazel said with a smirk.She then raised an eyebrow at the woman. "Miss, did you know there’s already a pregnant canary waiting at Damon’s home?"Damon’s grip on Hazel’s wrist tightened, and he stepped sideways, blocking her view of the woman.Pain shot through Hazel’s wrist, and she was just about to retaliate when Omar stepped forward."Damon! You think I’m dead, treating my niece like this?"His voice boomed with authority, sounding nothing like a man in his sixties.Damon froze under Omar’s glare, quickly loosening his grip as his gaze darted between Omar and Hazel.What’s their connection? Niece? Could they be relatives?Under the weight of Omar’s presence, Damon fin

    "Look at how considerate Delilah is. Damon, when are you planning to marry her?"Seeing Delilah's belly grow larger by the day, Agatha was determined not to let the Price family’s first grandchild be born without a proper title.Jamal had also thought about this issue. "Your grandfather’s out for a walk. He should be back soon. When he returns, you should discuss this matter with him yourself."When Mark Price heard about Damon’s divorce from Hazel, he nearly flipped the entire old residence upside down.If not for Agatha and Jamal’s attempts to mediate, Damon would have already been dragged home for a round of family discipline.Jamal had no desire to anger his father again over matters concerning the younger generation."Uncle, Auntie, Damon knows what he’s doing. You don’t need to pressure him. I’m not upset," Delilah said with a soft smile, her understanding demeanor making her all the more likable.Yet no one in the room was trul

    Faced with the old man’s sharp gaze, Damon had nothing to say.Demian didn’t want Delilah to suffer criticism. If Damon’s earlier plan got out, Delilah would surely be torn apart by public opinion.The wedding was scheduled for five days later. As soon as the date was set, the news spread like wildfire online."I didn’t believe the rumors about President Price cheating before, but now he’s getting remarried right after the divorce?!""Poor my Queen, still entangled with someone like him.""Once they’re married, let’s hope Mrs. Price can keep him in check and stop him from bothering my Queen again!""My Queen shines solo!"After scrolling for a long time and not finding any comments she liked, Delilah furiously threw her phone, which hit a servant squarely on the head."Ah!" Blood trickled down the servant’s face as the others rushed over i

    The people at the table exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh. "Hazel Queen, I’ve known your father for many years, and by seniority, you should call me Uncle Seth. It’s not that I don’t believe in you, but 10 billion is not something you can achieve just by talking about it." Without a plan or a detailed proposal, no one was foolish enough to believe someone’s wild claims. "Miss Queen, I believe in your ability, but not right now. My advice would be to hand over the company to your uncle, take the dividends, and go abroad to gain experience. When you return, you can take over the company smoothly, rather than trying to force things now when you don’t understand anything yet." Hazel didn’t argue. She simply threw a thick proposal onto the large round table. "This is my plan for Queen Corp in the coming year. The more detailed plans are at home. This is just an outline. You can have a look and then talk to me." When Hazel was little, Jacob Queen

    Omar lived in a villa area near the city center, not far from where Delilah had arranged to meet.He was unlike most elderly people, who preferred solitude; Omar loved a lively atmosphere and had no interest in secluding himself in the suburbs.When they arrived at Omar’s house, he was working out in the yard, surrounded by various fitness equipment.It should have been a peaceful, fragrant place, but instead, it had been turned into a gym."Uncle Omar, your villa is quite interesting. You’ve put all your fitness equipment outside.""Exercise should be down-to-earth. Breathing in the fresh air outside is much better than staying cooped up inside all the time."Omar wiped the sweat from his face and walked up to Hazel."Why did you come over today? Did you bring the hard drive?"Hazel took out a wooden box from her bag, opened it, and inside was the hard drive, severely damaged from the fire. Even from its appearance, it was cle

    Upon hearing the voice, Delilah quickly turned around. The moment she saw Hazel, all the exhaustion seemed to disappear from her face. "What would you like to drink?" Hazel rolled her eyes. She hated dealing with people who beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it—no need for all the extra nonsense. Delilah grabbed her wrist, then took an invitation card out of her bag. "I hesitated for a long time, but I thought I should invite you. After all, you’re close to Damon, and I hope you can come to our wedding and witness it." As she spoke, there was a smug smile on her lips. Hazel let out a slow sigh. Facing such a foolish opponent was hardly anything new. She had waited this long just to deliver an invitation? Did she think Hazel would be angry? Or did she think Hazel still had feelings for Damon? Hazel reached out with two fingers, took the invitation card, and without even glancing at it, stuffed it into her bag. "We

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Hazel's Nonsense

    Mark had originally intended to take Agatha to apologize to Hazel, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. He was getting older, and Jamal had already reached middle age. This sort of matter should be handled by Jamal himself. Had he known that Jamal wouldn’t be able to handle Agatha’s actions, he would have dealt with it himself. He had tolerated Agatha for far too long. “I remember telling you not to associate with your family too much,” Mark said, his voice tinged with frustration as he looked at Agatha. Jamal, with his face twisted in anger, couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes. Mark stood behind Jamal, silent, not saying a word. It wasn’t that he didn’t care, but he wanted to see how Jamal and Damon would handle it. After all, Agatha was someone close to them. One was Agatha’s son, and the other was her husband. If they could resolve this matter, it shouldn’t have to fall on Mark to intervene. However, if they failed to giv

    Damon had just come downstairs from his study. The Price family members were preparing to have dinner when Hazel’s sudden arrival caught everyone off guard.It was Jamal who first reacted. “Hazel, you came at just the right time. We were about to eat. Join us for dinner.”Hazel’s gaze locked directly onto Agatha. Agatha stole a glance at her but quickly averted her eyes, her guilt practically written across her face.“Uncle Jamal, I didn’t come here for dinner today. I’m here to address some matters.”Just as Jamal was about to ask what matters, Hazel gestured toward the door. Moments later, Grant emerged from the corner.The moment the Price family saw Grant, they immediately guessed what this was about and all turned their eyes to Agatha.Among the Price family, the only person with ties to Grant was Agatha.“Mom, did you instigate Grant to do something to Hazel again?”The Price family was already aware of the previous car a

    The Fletcher family had always favored sons over daughters. While Grant often helped Agatha with her schemes, deep down, he looked down on her.If not for the generous amounts of money Agatha gave him each time, there was no way he would do these thankless, fruitless tasks for her.It wasn’t just Grant who thought this way; the rest of the Fletcher family also believed that if Agatha weren’t so unreliable, the Price family wouldn’t treat them as dismissively as they did now. The Price family should’ve been a powerful ally to the Fletcher family.“You’re too late. When I let you off the hook last time, you should’ve had this realization, not waited until now.”Hazel sat on a chair, pulled out her phone, and activated the audio and video recording function, pointing it at Grant.“Now, spill everything—what Agatha instructed you to do, your own plans, and every detail about what’s happened up until now.”Grant’s expression twisted as though he

    “What nonsense are you spouting? Cooperate? How do you want to cooperate, take off your clothes yourself?”Grant glared at Hazel viciously, as if wishing he could tear her apart, but in reality, he didn’t dare even touch a finger of hers.Before she had recognized him, he might have had the courage. But now, he wouldn’t dare bet the entire Fletcher family on it.“Let me tell you this,” Grant said harshly, trying to hide his unease. “You’re just someone Damon fancies. Do you really think he’d abandon his own mother for you?”“There’s a saying—‘You can always remarry, but you only have one mother.’ Besides, you’re not even part of the Price family yet!”Rather than convincing Hazel, it seemed more like Grant was trying to convince himself.As long as his sister, the wife of the Price family’s eldest son, could protect him and the Fletcher family, dealing with someone like Hazel shouldn’t be a problem... right?“Grant,” Hazel said calmly

    “Boss, look! She’s awake now. What should we do next?” Hazel's hands were tied tightly behind the chair. It seemed Grant had seen her skills before, so he wasn’t taking any chances. She had tried to break free, but it was useless. Grant stepped forward and yanked the cloth off her face, grinning as he looked at her. “Hazel, do you recognize me?” Feigning ignorance, Hazel studied him for a moment before speaking, “You’re not one of Harold’s men, are you?” The name Harold wasn’t a secret to those around the Price family or Hazel. At this point, Hazel didn’t want to reveal that she already knew Grant’s identity. Doing so would complicate things. After all, she was at a disadvantage. If he started seeing her as a threat, it would only make things worse for her. “I’ve already told Harold that my parents didn’t leave me anything or tell me anything important. Even if you kidnap me, I’ve got nothing to give you!” Her voice was filled wi

    Hazel also thought of this issue. "It’s better not to make it too sudden. First, plant a seed of doubt in Chrissy’s mind, or maybe confess and show her the evidence in advance." Planning these things without Chrissy knowing made her worried. If Chrissy saw everything unfold unexpectedly, she might not be able to handle it. Telling her in advance only raised one concern: Chrissy might tell Gavin, and he’d be prepared. But as long as everything was in place, even if Gavin knew ahead of time, it wouldn’t change the outcome. "Had you not reminded me, I would’ve forgotten to consider if Gavin would do something trashy. It seems I have to give Chrissy a heads-up after all. Otherwise, who knows what problems might arise later," Damon said, his anger rising at the thought of what Gavin might do to Chrissy. It made him lose his appetite. Fortunately, Hazel understood. After all, they had grown up together, and they still kept in touch. Seeing her friend tangled

    In the private room, the food was delivered by a conveyor system. Aside from the two of them, no restaurant staff entered the room, ensuring their conversation wouldn’t be interrupted. Anything they needed could be ordered directly from the tablet on the table, and the food would arrive in less than a minute. It was the perfect setup for a more private conversation. Damon frowned, as if there was something serious he couldn’t quite bring himself to say. Hazel didn’t interrupt him, but now she was curious—what could be troubling Damon this much? "Chrissy’s fiancé... is a scumbag. He has several girlfriends in Country Y," he finally revealed. "What?!" Hazel had just taken a sip of water and hadn’t swallowed yet when she heard this bombshell of news. "Wasn’t it just said that they were going to get married soon? Are you telling me that guy still has several other girlfriends?" If Damon had been talking about something from a long time ago, Haze

    "I know Chrissy's personality; she's too soft-hearted. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have probably been convinced by Gavin in the end," Damon said, casually playing with his phone. He hadn’t figured out the next steps yet, but one thing was clear: he needed to create a scandalous scene for Chrissy to witness herself. Only then would the evidence be truly convincing. "I still want someone to keep an eye on Gavin. I’ll find a way to contact his girlfriends overseas. Give me two days at most, they’ll all be in Country A by then." As long as he could get Gavin’s girlfriends from abroad to come over, exposing him wouldn’t be a problem. Getting them here was easy enough, after all, the Price family had plenty of money. Once the interests were in place, everything else would fall into place. "Actually, I have another idea. You want me to help you pursue Hazel, right? This is a good opportunity."

    In the corner of the garden, Chrissy pushed Gavin away one last time. When Gavin saw the angry expression on her face, he finally stopped moving closer and instead looked at her with a pitiful gaze. "Chrissy, I didn’t mean it. I just missed you so much and wanted to hug you. If you don’t want to be close to me anymore, I won’t hug you again. Don’t be mad." Seeing Gavin like this, Chrissy’s heart softened immediately. The rigid expression on her face softened as well. "Alright, I’m not angry. Just go inside. We’re staying at Uncle’s house for a few more days anyway. We can go out and buy some gifts later." Since Gavin had come all the way from abroad and went straight to the Price family after arriving in Vernon, it was fine to buy the gifts later—she could make do with it. Gavin’s face lit up with a smile. "I knew you’d be the best. Let’s go shopping tomorrow, and we’ll buy some gifts for Uncle and Aunt." They entered the room together. Chrissy’s
