When Yvonne learned that her card was overdrawn, she was taken aback. "Not enough money?" she inquired. "That can't be done, try again." The card with the highest balance belonged to her. The card has an enormous amount of money on it. Yvonne pondered the possible expense of this jade band. Standing next her, Hazel couldn't suppress a small chuckle. "What are you laughing at?" "Benjamin gave me all the money on this card," Yvonne scowled and stated. Three years later, I bet he hasn't handed you a single penny, correct? Benjamin had, in fact, never handed her any money. But today, he did give her a black card. It was quite evident to Hazel that this card was unique to Benjamin. It was a limited edition black card from throughout the world. She had received it from Benjamin with the intention of purchasing Mrs. Lucas's gift. But just now, it would be great to enrage Yvonne with it. After attempting to swipe the card once more, the sales assistant said, "I'm sorry, there are insuf

Hazel exhaled deeply in relief. Thankfully, Benjamin refrained from inappropriately shielding Yvonne this time. Maybe during the past few years Hazel had become used to being the victim. Hazel was ecstatic, even if all Benjamin had said was the truth. She was not getting ahead of herself, of course. She was aware that Benjamin remained the same and continued to despise her. After saying, "I have other things to deal with, let's talk later," Benjamin abruptly disconnected up. Yvonne had to be patient with Benjamin no matter how offended she felt. Hazel was the only person she could vent to. She extended her arm to give Hazel a shove. Yvonne grabbed at nothing again as Hazel abruptly turned her body away as soon as she saw her moving. A rare genuine smile lit up Hazel's face as she cast a scornful glance down at Yvonne, who had collapsed to the ground once more. "Miss Taylor, you've already called Benjamin to make sure he really gave me the black card," she remarked. I'm going to

Hazel headed straight home after leaving MC Enterprise. Given the wealth and influence of the Lucas family, Mrs. Lucas's birthday celebration ought to have been an extravagant affair. But only family members were allowed to attend Mrs. Lucas's birthday supper since she disliked waste and extravagance. Hazel was disliked by everyone in the Lucas family except her grandmother. Benjamin's parents were among those who believed Hazel was a self-centered gold digger who was only using Benjamin as a stepping stone to higher social status. Their attitude toward their daughter-in-law had always been callous. Hazel questioned whether she would have been able to become a member of their family if Mrs. Lucas had not coerced Benjamin into marrying her three years prior. However, upon further reflection, there was absolutely nothing favorable about being married to Mr. Lucas. On the one hand, neither her position nor Benjamin's family ever made an official announcement or acceptance. However, B

In contrast, Mrs. Lucas expressed her happiness upon receiving the treats. She let everyone see her open the box. A few delicious pastries were arranged within the exquisite box. "You made me lotus cakes," Mrs. Lucas remarked. Her gloomy eyes brightened the instant she saw lotus cakes, which were her absolute favorite. "As anticipated, Hazel is the one who knows me the best. She is aware of my desire for these lotus pastries." "I'm happy that my grandmother enjoys the food I've made," Hazel said. Since she didn't have any extra cash to give Mrs. Lucas a birthday present, she decided to bake her a lotus cake instead. She knew Mrs. Lucas enjoyed lotus cakes. Hazel was unsure, though, if Madam Lucas's response was genuine or perhaps motivated by her desire to assist her in getting out of this difficult situation. You are overly frugal. Someone said, "You shouldn't make something so cheap for Grandmother's birthday, even if she likes flower cakes." "To prepare our gifts for Grandmoth

Hazel sat quietly to the side, feeling that she had no right to speak at this point. In contrast, Benjamin was furious. However, since his grandmother was also there, he was unable to provoke a confrontation with Christian. They have to settle any disagreements amicably. They would be embarrassed to act in such a way in front of so many people. Christian must have assumed Benjamin would make this choice, which is why he decided to make a concert today of all days. Mrs. Lucas no longer had a smile on her face. Her head came up to meet Christian's. Finally, with a sigh, she extended her hand to accept his gift. She was never fond of Anthony's undocumented family. She recognized only one daughter-in-law, Winnie. She could not, however, refuse Christian's status as her grandchild, even if she had no desire to recognize Christian as her mother. He was, after all, a product of the Lucas family lineage. The more cynical cousins chuckled under their breath at Mrs. Lucas's reply. Anthony

In the end, Hazel did not fall as she had feared. Rather, Christian took hold of her waist and supported her weight. Hazel was absolutely horrified by the pressure that was applied around her waist. She opened her mouth to thank Christian, but before she could speak, her voice was cut off. "His anger has always been like that," he stated. He is impartial toward all. With a smile, Christian replied, "Please don't take it personally. If you ever become tired of him, you can come to me. I won't get physical with anyone, and my attitude has greatly improved. I would never hit the woman I love, at least not ever." It was Christian's intention to offend. Yes, Benjamin fell for the ruse. He gave the couple a gloomy look, and his eyes become bloodshot once more. He said, "Hazel, please return here immediately! Or have you considered remarrying a Christian instead?" Hazel regained her balance and moved forward, taking two steps to separate herself from Christian. In actuality, she was a

If this was like before, Hazel would have called Benjamin right after seeing the news to ask him what he was trying to achieve with this. No, however, she held onto her phone but did not call him. In the past three years, Hazel had not told a single outsider about her relationship with Benjamin. Even though Benjamin and Yvonne went around together, the entertainment media would not dare expose his relationship with her in the tabloid news without his permission. Even though the employees at his company knew about his relationship with Yvonne, Benjamin had not taken the liberty of announcing it to the public. The existence of these news reports, therefore, meant that Benjamin had chosen to publicly acknowledge his relationship with Yvonne. Hazel bowed her head, chuckling softly to mock herself for being so pathetic. She had not gotten in touch with Benjamin over the past few days. The truth was that she was still afraid that the divorce between them would be mentioned once they go

Benjamin and Hazel each departed the house on their own.It was Saturday, and the following day was when their divorce was meant to be finalized.The phone rang for Benjamin. He became a little irritated the instant he saw Yvonne's name.He hesitated for an instant before answering her phone. However, he took a moment before answering the phone. "Is there something wrong?" he asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone.When Yvonne heard his tone, she was somewhat astonished. This was not usually how Benjamin spoke to her."Yvonne, it's me, Benjamin," Yvonne said. After giving it some thought, she concluded that it's possible Benjamin didn't see her name on his screen.Benjamin reached out to comfort himself, pressing the space between his eyes."Where are you now?" he inquired.Yvonne grinned as soon as she heard his response. It was clear from Benjamin's statements that he desired to see her."I'm in my house. "I prepared your preferred dishes and am eager for you to return home so we can sh

Like a stone dumped into a deep well, Hazel's heart plummeted into her gut. It was difficult for her to breathe since it seemed like the air around her was becoming thicker and thinner. Her mind was racing, searching frantically for some justification or explanation. It is unlikely that this will occur. Not on this day, any day.The vibrant flowers she was holding in her hands were a stark contrast to the scarlet river of guilt that was on her face. With a raspy murmur, "I... I must have forgotten my other wallet," she explained. Her mouth felt metallic from the untruth she could taste on her tongue.A glimmer of doubt crossed Christian's eyes like a shadow moving across the light, weakening his grin. Maybe you just misjudged the price, Hazel? Are you sure?Hazel wanted the earth to burst apart and engulf her. She was aware that the truth would be much worse than uncertainty. Her funds had already been strained by Benjamin's incessant demands and lack of interes

"How did it seem impossible?" Ms Evan asked, taking a sip of her coffee and urging her to do the same. She obliged her and followed suit, letting the liquid warm her throat. "After I got married, I guess I just let my dreams take the back seat as I tried to get my husband to love me." Hazel didn't miss the look of pity that crossed the woman's face. It sounded pitiful, even to her. "If life gave you another chance, will you take it?" Ms Evans asked. Hazel looked up, her orbs still moist from crying a while ago. "Of course, I will. A second chance at life is what I need the most, especially at this moment when my life doesn't seem to have any direction." Ms Evans smiled at her statement. "It's getting quite late now and I have somewhere else to be. Here's my card, call me when you finalize your divorce." With trembling hands, she accepted the card from Ms Evans' outstretched hand. "Thank you, ma'am. You saved me back there and I don't know how to repay you."
