After listening to Marcus, Damon stayed silent for a long time.

When the truth about Demian's death was laid out before him, Damon couldn’t bring himself to face it.

The paternity test results hadn't come in yet, and he still didn’t know if that child was really Demian’s. But in his heart, Damon had already decided that Delilah would have to pay for what she had done.

“President Price and I, are already aware of the situation. If you don’t have anything else to say, you can leave now. Don’t worry, before then, we will make sure you and your family are safe.”

Marcus’s visit to the Price Corp would definitely reach Delilah’s ears, and who knew what illegal actions she might take next.

After Marcus left, Kin, noticing that Damon’s mood wasn’t good, also left the office.

Damon sat alone in the office for a long time. Even as the day turned to night, he remained in the darkness, as if he couldn’t feel the fading light from the outside world.

    In fact, the second episode was supposed to feature quite a few shots of Bailey. It was a suggestion from Amber, who said that having more screen time for her would boost the program’s popularity. However, when the director saw the scene online two days before the broadcast, he immediately called the editing team to work overnight and re-edited the episode, cutting out many of Bailey's scenes.Even so, after the episode aired, it still received a lot of criticism.After all, the director had promised Amber he wouldn’t overdo it. He had only cut a few scenes, not made drastic changes.But even this was enough to make Bailey lose her patience. She called the director's phone directly, shouting angrily.“Are you even fit to be in this industry? Miss Amber said that as long as I have more screen time, the program will keep the buzz going. What’s this mess? How can the show be popular now? No wonder you can't even make a decent program.”Although

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Matchmaking Mission

    In the underground garage of the Queen family mansion, Hazel drove back to her villa alone after bidding farewell to Sully. She had contacted Omar in advance, and they were meeting tonight at the villa. Since the last dinner gathering, both of them had been busy with work, and they hadn’t seen each other in such a long time. Hazel hadn’t even returned to her newly renovated villa. If it weren’t for Butler Benson, who often brought people to clean, the house would have likely gathered a layer of dust by now. When Hazel arrived home, the villa was brightly lit, as though it were filled with people. She drove straight into the yard, and both Butler Benson and Omar came out to greet her when they heard the car. "Miss Queen, you’re finally back! If you hadn’t, Mr. Omar would’ve asked me to call you again," Butler Benson said with a smile. Omar, who had followed him out, playfully slapped Butler Benson on the back, though his face still looked a bit anno

    Given the current situation at Queen Corp, it's not ideal for Hazel to keep isolating herself in the company; she needs to broaden her horizons and meet more people. Even if the blind dates don’t work out, she might still end up connecting with potential business partners. Thinking about it this way, this meal wouldn’t be a waste after all. "Alright, alright, I’ll agree to it. Since we have guests coming over, I can at least go upstairs and freshen up, right?" Hazel teased, trying to get out of it. Omar still didn’t let go of her hand, his sharp eyes watching her closely, as though afraid that if he loosened his grip for even a second, she’d turn around and run. Finally, Hazel had no choice but to give in and plop down on the couch. "Grandpa, I know you’ve set up a blind date for me today. I'm not planning to run away. Even if I don’t end up with any of them, I can at least make a few friends. Queen Corp's situation does require me to expand my network."

    "If I were you, I wouldn’t bring up our last meeting right now. Or are you afraid I won’t remember the things you did with Jonah?" Omar didn’t know what had happened between them, and Hazel didn’t intend to let him know, so she didn’t elaborate further. But just that one sentence made Marco understand Hazel’s thoughts. It seemed that any hopes he had of making her his girlfriend should be put to rest. "What’s going on? You’ve met before? That’s not surprising, but why are you bringing up Jonah?" Before Marco could respond, Hazel quickly dismissed it. "It’s nothing. Their company has always worked with ours. It’s just some business matters we ran into before." She shot Marco a warning glance. Fortunately, he wasn’t foolish and quickly grasped her intent, switching the topic. "Yeah, I met Hazel once before due to work, and I have a good impression of her." Omar stepped forward, standing by Hazel’s side, smiling at the group of men. "I alway

    Hazel noticed Grant’s discomfort and quickly shifted the topic. "I was just joking. Don’t take it to heart. I just thought everyone was being too formal, so I wanted to lighten the mood." Hazel had expected there would be some second-generation heirs among the guests, but she didn’t expect there to be someone as innocent as Grant among them. When Grant heard her say it was just a joke, he looked up at Hazel, clearly relieved. "You were really joking?" "Of course. It's just a family matter for us Queens. It’s normal for you not to know. Even if you did, I wouldn’t be upset over something so small." Hazel was sitting on an armchair, while Adam, Marco, and Grant were seated on the long sofa in the middle. Charles sat across from her on another armchair. Vincent, on the other hand, was slouched on a lazy sofa nearby. He hadn’t said a word yet and looked like he might fall asleep any moment. "I knew Hazel was a person of great grace and magnanimity," Marco s

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Damon's Rival

    In the past, Charles had stolen several projects from other companies to plug the holes in his family’s business. While he used reputable methods, those whose projects he took saw him as a common enemy. Hazel didn’t know much about Charles, except for what she had heard from Sully. If it hadn’t been for Omar organizing this gathering, she probably wouldn’t have met him in the next few years. After all, Charles seemed to have issues with the Price family, especially with Damon. Since Damon had helped her so much, she had no reason to get close to his enemy. “I’ve heard a bit about your issues with the Price family, but as long as the business competition is fair and legal, there’s nothing to say. It’s all about skill,” she said casually. Losing a project to Charles wasn’t shameful, but someone like Damon, who cared about face, would definitely hold a grudge. For years, Damon’s reputation had reigned in Vernon, so it wasn’t surprising that he would have a grudge ag

    After thinking for a moment, she added, “And Vincent, although he didn’t say a word, that makes him even more intriguing.” “Grant is also fine as a younger brother figure. He’s so pure. When we talked, everything seemed new and interesting to him. It was kind of fun.” “As for Adam and Marco… I don’t really feel anything for Adam, since he’s working with Jonah now. As for Marco, I didn’t like him from the start. I wasn’t fond of him when we first met.” Hazel named each person, and Omar practically wanted to grab a notebook to jot everything down. “I could tell you didn’t like Marco. I don’t like him either. If it weren’t for his family’s connections, I wouldn’t have invited him here!” Butler Benson furrowed his brows. If he remembered correctly, Marco was chosen by Omar personally. “When I invited Adam, I had my reservations too, but after thinking it over, it’s fine. If you get along with him, it’ll be easier when you deal with Jonah.” Omar was thi

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Confess to Agatha

    Delilah was still in the hospital recovering from childbirth, yet she somehow managed to secretly take Marcus’s child away. Damon stared at the limited surveillance footage on his phone, unable to make out the features of the person who took the child. It seemed he had underestimated Delilah. “Kin, I’m giving you no more than two days. You must bring the child Delilah took back to me. Delegate all your tasks at the company to your assistant—don’t worry about anything else. Your sole focus is tracking down this child.” For Delilah to take such action, it meant she had likely figured out some of what Marcus had done. It made sense—Marcus had originally planned to run away but suddenly decided not to. Her suspicions were only natural. However, Damon still wasn’t sure if Delilah knew about Marcus’s visit to the Price Corp. He figured he’d have to stop by the hospital after work to confirm. To gain Delilah’s trust, he would need Agatha’s help. It seemed

    Hazel thought for a moment, then waved her hand dismissively. "Alright, I’m not mad at you. Just don't do it again. It’s so late already, you should go back now."With that, Hazel turned to leave, but Chrissy grabbed her wrist."Hazel, you really don't like Damon that way? But the girls in those idol dramas always like guys like that. Even though no one has ever treated me like that, I thought about it, and I think I’d like it too. After all, I really like those male leads."Chrissy didn't understand why, after all her studying of romance tactics, Hazel didn’t like them. She was completely swept up in those dramas herself.Hazel gently pulled away Chrissy's hand, not liking being touched by strangers."Because I'm not a child anymore, and I'm a selfish person. The person I love most in this world is definitely myself."After saying this, Hazel turned and left. Damon and Chrissy didn’t follow. It wasn’t until Hazel had

    "No way, I feel like there's a big difference between Damon now and when he was a kid. He actually talks to me now." Agatha scoffed. "It's because he's been dealing with people and business all these years. After interacting with so many people, if he were still the same as before, the Price Corp would've collapsed by now. Speaking of which, Demian's personality was always more lively. When he was young..." Before she could finish, Agatha stopped herself. She wasn’t sure when it started, but she found herself occasionally mentioning Demian's name. At first, after the incident, Demian's name was a taboo subject for her. Time truly was a strange thing—it could dull even the pain of losing a child. "Auntie, how about we go to the garden? The flowers you planted seem to have bloomed, and they look pretty good." Noticing the awkward atmosphere, Chrissy quickly changed the subject and helped Agatha walk outside. "By the way, my boyfriend said he’l

    Playing with drones in the city required reporting in advance, and she had heard the procedures were pretty troublesome.But since Damon was involved, those formalities were definitely handled beforehand. Hazel only said this to get rid of them.She slammed the phone down, and when she saw the drones outside again, she felt even more irritated.She immediately drew the curtains and turned on the lights, shutting herself in the office, pretending to read files—though she wasn’t really focused.Downstairs, Damon called her phone repeatedly, but it was still turned off. Just as he was about to head upstairs, a security guard approached him."Mr. Price, please bring down the drones. Ms. Queen said that if you don’t leave, she’ll call the police."The security guard did his best to keep his tone respectful, afraid of offending this powerful man in front of him.Although he worked for Queen's company, offending Damon could cost him his job.

    Although he didn’t want to admit it, Damon found himself once again intimidated by Chrissy’s confident demeanor. He raised his head slightly and looked at Chrissy, a trace of foolishness in his eyes. After a pause, he asked, "So, Hazel actually has feelings for me?" Chrissy nodded vigorously. "Of course! Didn’t you hear everything I just said?" "So, what should I do now? Hazel is out having dinner with Charles. Whether it’s for work or not, I can’t just do nothing, right?" Under Chrissy's influence, Damon had already begun to trust her unconditionally. He didn’t even realize it, but all his hopes were now riding on her. Chrissy stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, tapping her chin thoughtfully. After a while, when Damon wasn’t paying attention, she pulled out a small notebook from her bag and glanced through it. "Chase her! Go all in and pursue her passionately! That’s the most important thing you should be doing right now!" "How do I chase

    "You're saying that Charles only came to me with a business deal because he's trying to get close to me?" Hazel stared at Xander, her gaze unblinking.Xander wasn’t sure how to respond—he didn’t want to make things awkward, but it was hard to avoid the implication.He could tell Hazel wasn’t quite seeing things the way he did. It wasn’t just business, he thought; there was something else behind it."Honestly, I used to think the same thing," she continued. "But then I realized, he never actually said anything like ‘if we work together, you have to marry me.’ So, why not agree to the deal? I’m just giving him the chance to be around me. Whether or not he can make something out of that, that’s not my concern."Hazel had known all along that what Charles really wanted was a chance, not her hand in marriage.Xander finally nodded. "I get it now. I was worried about you not seeing through him. Looks like I was wrong."He had watched Hazel grow in

    This was the best solution Chrissy had come up with after spending an entire night binge-watching idol dramas. The situation between Damon and Hazel right now was simply because there was no opportunity to push their relationship forward.Chrissy decided to get involved herself and serve as the bait this time."When I went to find Hazel just now, she looked so shocked, like she hadn’t expected it at all. And after I left, probably she and her best friend are already talking about you," Chrissy said confidently.She analyzed the situation with such precision that if the security guards from Queen's company hadn’t arrived so quickly, she would have stayed longer and delivered a whole monologue.Thinking about this, Chrissy felt a little disappointed. She had prepared a whole speech for this, but barely got two lines out before being kicked out.Seeing Chrissy so sure of herself, Damon couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.The way

    Hazel had also considered this possibility, but since Damon kept telling her that he had deceived Harold with his acting, she didn’t think too much about it. Now, after Omar’s reminder, she started to reconsider the matter. Before she could figure it out, Omar added, "Unless his real purpose was to tell you these things, but for some reason, he couldn’t tell you directly and had to do it this way instead." When Omar said this, it felt like a sudden revelation to Hazel. After all these years of planning, Harold couldn’t have trusted anyone so quickly, even someone with the same goal. So the only possibility seemed to be what Omar had just mentioned. "Then what’s his purpose in telling me this? Grandpa, do you think my parents' accident has anything to do with him?" Hazel was confused. She had thought she had everything figured out, but now she realized she hadn’t seen the whole picture. It felt like there was a huge net above her, trapping her in t

    Hazel focused her gaze on Sully, pausing for a moment before speaking. "Maybe. I feel like I don’t dislike him as much now." "To be more precise, after he told me the truth about everything, I stopped disliking him. He has his reasons, and everything he did was for his late brother. If I were in his shoes, I’m not sure I could have done much better." At first, Hazel had felt uneasy, thinking that if everything had been clarified from the beginning, many misunderstandings could have been avoided. But now, after experiencing the aftermath of her parents' accident, she understood some of Damon's helplessness. Until she had clarified some matters, she didn’t want to share them with too many people, not even Sully or Xander. To Hazel, these two were some of the most important people in her life right now. "I still think there shouldn't be too many secrets in a relationship," Sully pressed. "Can you accept that, after you're with him, he’ll hide things

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Chrissy's Big Ideas

    Hazel was almost ready to directly reject him, but after thinking it over, she decided to be more tactful. Maybe Damon had been so busy with work and studies his whole life that he didn’t know how to like someone properly. Perhaps he had seen someone confess like this before and just copied it. Maybe it was something he’d learned from an idol drama from a few years ago—those kinds of scenes really existed in those shows. "I’ll have the security take care of all this. You should head back to the office. I heard Price Corp is expecting a big client today. Aren’t you going to meet them?" she said, offering him an out. The idea of a big client was just a way for Hazel to give Damon an excuse to leave. How would she know if Price Corp had a big client coming today? But Damon seemed completely confused by her words. He asked, "I’ve pushed all my work to tomorrow. And our company isn’t expecting any big clients today. Did you hear wrong from someone?" He
