"Actually, if you're busy, you don't have to come over. I’m fine here, you can just ask Sully to bring the gift over for me." Hazel's tone was half-joking, and it instantly lightened the mood. However, Damon, who had been left standing aside, didn’t look too happy.

Sully tugged at Hazel’s sleeve, struggling to hold back a laugh.

"Mr. Price, you’re so busy at home, with a pregnant wife too. There’s really no need for you to come all the way here so late."

The same words were said to Xander with one tone, but when directed at Damon, the tone was completely different.

Damon’s face, which had already been unpleasant, grew darker. Even his fingers, which were holding the envelope, turned white with tension.

He had come here to congratulate her with good intentions, and yet she was so ungrateful! And what was the relationship between her and Xander? Damon felt like he was about to lose control. Ever since his divorce from Hazel, his emotions had been more volatile

    Delilah had always claimed that Demian had gone bungee jumping to prove his love for her, to break through his own limits and confess. She had never expected an accident to happen. At first, Damon had thought there might be some truth to this story, especially considering Demian’s attitude toward Delilah before his death. But after spending more time with Delilah, he increasingly believed she was lying. Opening the video, it showed a blurry scene of Demian bungee jumping from a distance. At first, Delilah and Demian were standing together on the platform. Then, for reasons unknown, Delilah stepped back a few steps, and immediately after, Demian jumped off. The video was too blurry to make out many details, but from the distance between them, it was possible that Delilah had pushed Demian. Moreover, there was a moment when Demian seemed to trip or get caught as he jumped, which didn’t look like someone who was ready to leap voluntarily. "Kin, have everyone in

    The young girl trembled, about to explain, but Delilah interrupted her. "Don't be nervous, it's just some work-related matters I need to discuss with you. Come with me, I’ll explain in detail." With that, she turned and walked toward a more secluded corridor, and the girl had no choice but to follow. When they reached a stairwell, their voices echoed in the empty space, so Delilah lowered her tone. "Don’t worry, I didn’t hear anything you said earlier. But you need to do something for me." "What is it?" "Keep an eye on Damon Price. You need to report to me immediately on anything that happens, especially anything related to Hazel. If you know anything, tell me right away." The girl was frozen for a long moment, unable to speak. Asking her to keep an eye on the CEO was almost like signing her own death warrant. Now, she had two choices: offend the CEO’s wife or offend the CEO. Both options seemed equally dangerous. "Think carefully. I promise n

    "Do your own job properly, and I've reminded you more than once: at the company, please address me as President Queen, and you too, Uncle."Queen Corp is doing well with the projects Hazel secured earlier, as well as the collaboration with Price Corp. The future looks promising. At this point, it’s nearly impossible for Jonah to pull Hazel down from the CEO position. "Yes, President Queen is right. If everyone used their family ties like we did, how could the company be managed?" Seeing her own father flattering Hazel like that made Bailey furious, but she couldn’t do anything to Hazel for now, so she could only stomp her feet and leave the office. "Bailey's been spoiled by us, President Queen. Don’t take it to heart, I’ll go check on her." Once the two left, Sully entered with some materials for Hazel to sign. "I saw the comments online as well. They were really harsh, but I think this is a good opportunity for you to establish your authority. W

    After all, it was Demian’s only child in this world. This time, he had indeed made a mistake, and Agatha should be staying by Delilah’s side properly. "Old Master, the doctor has already said so. Would you like me to send you home now?" Butler Hank noticed that the old man’s mood wasn’t right and was afraid that something might happen to him at this critical moment. He had seen everything that happened last time, and indeed, Agatha had said something inappropriate. Jamal’s punishment of her wasn’t too severe, but no one had expected that something like this would happen now. Seeing the old man like this, it seemed he was taking all the blame onto himself. "Miss Hasani is a good person, and with Madam Agatha having taken such good care of her health recently, the child should be fine," Butler Hank reassured. "Call Damon and ask him to come to the hospital." He knew that the child in Delilah’s womb wasn’t Damon’s, but now that they were married, and

    "What's the big deal for a young man? Besides, you can help with the company matters. You don’t necessarily have to be the one to stay with her." Agatha had always been a housewife with no concept of the company’s affairs. She thought it was fine as long as someone was taking care of things at the company. As the president, he didn’t really need to do much. Damon hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "I’m fine, don’t worry, Dad. Delilah hasn’t woken up yet, and even if I go back, I wouldn’t be able to sleep well. It’s better to stay here at the hospital." After hearing this, Agatha smiled and nodded. "That’s more like it. In my opinion, what’s so great about Hazel? Everyone’s siding with her. Even I can’t say a word." Jamal shot her a look, and Agatha unwillingly changed the subject. "This living room has a bed and a big sofa. Ask the driver to bring over some extra blankets. I’ll stay up with you." The sofa was big enough, and they didn’t need t

    "Alright, since Grandpa has already brought in the best, just focus on recovering your health and don't worry about anything else."Damon knew Grandpa Mark all too well. The elder rarely troubled others unless absolutely necessary. This time, the old man must have realized his actions were inappropriate, taking all the blame upon himself, which was why he had gone to such lengths."Exactly. Your grandpa isn't someone who bothers others lightly. This just shows how serious your condition was. From now on, I’ll stay by your side and take care of you without leaving, at least until the baby is born."Although the situation was serious, wasn’t staying by her side without leaving a bit too extreme?But after what happened, no one dared to question Agatha's decision.In fact, this arrangement worked out well. Agatha’s idle nature often made her meddle in family matters. Now that she had Delilah to care for, it would at least keep her occupied."De

    It wasn’t time for the Q&A session yet, but one reporter stood up and interrupted rudely, clearly unimpressed. Hazel paused, her gaze shifting to the reporter with a smile. Yet, the meaning behind that smile was impossible to decipher. Damon, however, understood it perfectly. Back when Hazel lived with him, she would use that exact expression whenever she felt speechless. The difference was, at the time, he had no idea she was capable of so much. If he’d known, he wouldn’t have let Delilah’s petty manipulations cloud his judgment. Who knows? Maybe he’d still have Hazel by his side today. “May I ask which media outlet you’re with?” Before Hazel could respond, Eddie spoke up, his tone sharp. No one had ever dared to speak to their boss like that, let alone in front of such a crowd. Before the press conference, Hazel had already made her stance clear: any reporter who dared to make disparaging remarks about her today would become Queen Corp’s prim

    “I heard everything President Queen just said,” Damon spoke up. “And, in fact, Price Corp shares the same stance. I hope all of you in the media will make sure to convey our message clearly.”“If any outlet dares to publish baseless rumors again, let me assure you—Price Corp and Queen Corp will join forces to take action. Before you post anything, think carefully about whether you can handle the consequences of going up against both of us.”If dealing with Queen Corp alone wasn’t intimidating enough, now they had Price Corp to worry about too.Price Corp’s power was far more daunting than Queen Corp’s. If both companies targeted the same outlet, it would undoubtedly cause massive trouble for them.Hazel turned to Damon, who had appeared uninvited, feeling utterly exasperated.The rumors were already about the two of them. Now, with this public announcement, standing side by side, they were practically handing more gossip to the media on a silver pl

    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

    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

    Once Hazel returned, she immediately buried herself in company matters, dealing with the clothing brand. After this ‘hunger marketing’ campaign, imitation products had started flooding the market. But this was all within Hazel's expectations. At first, some people might buy these counterfeit products, but once time passes and they can master the quality, those imitations will start to look fake. Then, people will flock to the genuine products with real quality. Sully walked into Hazel's office, holding a document that Agent Amber had sent over. It contained some dirt on Bailey, but it wasn't enough to bring her down from her current position. "Hazel, look, these are all from Agent Amber, you know, Bailey's agent." Hazel and Agent Amber hadn't had much interaction, and what she knew best was Agent Amber's work capabilities and her relationship with Bailey. Hazel skimmed through the documents and when she saw the first part, she thought she’d read it wron

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Change of Decision

    Compared to Bailey, whom she managed, Agent Amber naturally admired Ariana more, as she was someone who genuinely pursued her craft. Ariana lacked the calculated ambition that many others had, making her more pleasant and relatable, with a better connection to the audience. As Agent Amber continued talking, her gaze shifted back to Bailey, and she sighed, "If only Bailey had half of Ariana’s dedication, she wouldn't have ended up as the second female lead." The artists Amber had previously managed might not have started with leading roles, but after transitioning through a few supporting roles, they had consistently remained at the forefront of the screen. Even if they weren’t the female lead, they were often standout supporting characters, sometimes even outshining the female lead. Unlike Bailey, who had participated in numerous variety shows and even self-funded her own micro-drama where she played the female lead, it was only thanks to Agent Amber's personal e

    "I've been so worried these past couple of days! Ever since Xander told me, I've been anxious and couldn't sleep well. I even sent you messages, but you didn’t reply! Thankfully, you're finally back!" Sully was so emotional that she nearly burst into tears. She had originally planned to go on a business trip today, but after hearing from Xander that Hazel was returning, she canceled everything and rushed over. Hazel gently patted Sully on the back. "Alright, alright, nothing happened in the end. But the matter’s still not resolved, and we’ll need your help." After comforting Sully, the group sat down together and began discussing the recent investigations and what Harold really wanted. Omar brought out everything he had recently gathered, which was all information about Harold. Mark also took out a stack of documents, all related to the organization and the past history of Hazel’s parents. Once they had gone through both sets of documents, everything st

    Once Damon finally wins Hazel over, he plans to find a similar estate where they can live together, just the two of them. “I didn’t realize it. So, these past few days, you’ve been observing all of this? I thought you were just bored,” he remarked. “However, we haven’t seen Harold these last couple of days. It seems like he left the day after he parted ways with Xander. If it weren’t for Xander constantly sending me messages, I would’ve thought he went after Xander,” Hazel replied. Since Xander returned to the country, he had been sending them messages, but Hazel and Damon were worried that their phones might be monitored, so they hadn’t responded to him. “Someone in his position should have a lot of things to do, right? Even though we don’t know what he’s busy with, we can use this time to test the estate’s security. It’d be great if we can escape, but if not, it’s no big deal,” Damon said, realizing something. “True, after all, he still needs somethin

    After saying that, Hazel quickly rushed out of the room without daring to look back at Damon’s expression. Damon, still standing in the room, froze for a moment. After realizing that Hazel had been shy, he immediately got excited and jumped onto the bed. If someone like Hazel, with her personality, was shy in front of him, that meant he had a chance! So, it seemed that Hazel liked this kind of interaction. He figured that he’d have to create more opportunities for physical contact in the future. With this thought in mind, Damon began to plan his next move for creating physical contact with Hazel. Xander arrived at the airport, expecting that Harold would have someone follow him. To his surprise, he boarded the plane without any trouble. Of course, he wasn’t so arrogant as to think Harold wouldn’t foresee this, but he simply believed that Harold didn’t see him as a threat. Once back in the country, Xander immediately contacted the Price and C

    “To be honest,” Hazel began after a moment of thought, “I do have some early memories of living with him when I was little. Back then, I remember feeling happy. But now... I don’t get that feeling from him at all.”Not only was there no sense of happiness, but Hazel also found herself increasingly uneasy in Harold’s presence.Whenever his gaze lingered on her, she felt an inexplicable discomfort, like her entire body was on edge.But even with this knowledge, it was impossible to confirm whether Harold was really Hazel's grandfather."Even if he’s not my grandfather, his connection to my mother must be significant. What should we do now? Damon is still with him, and I’m not sure if he’s holding onto him to lure us back or for some other reason.""But keeping us around—what does he even gain from that?"Hazel couldn’t figure it out. She only knew that Harold wanted something from her, something her parents had left behind. But as for what it
