LOGINThe study of the Brooks family.
“It’s been so many days, and you still haven’t said anything? Are you waiting for the Brooks family to collapse?” Hazel felt a bit annoyed, but still patiently explained, “He hasn’t come back these past few days. But I will find a chance to talk to him.” “Time is running out for the Brooks family! James was furious. “Old man Aiden is a shrewd person! He knows that Jack doesn’t treat you well, but he still wants us to go to him! You and Jack used to be good friends, but now it’s like you’re enemies. You can’t even say a word to each other?” “...” Hazel bit her lip feeling bitter inside. She didn’t know how she and Jack had become like this. Was it just because she had gone abroad for a few years? From the day of her birthday party to today, including discussing their marriage and getting their marriage certificate, they had only met three or four times. But every time, he had a bad attitude towards her, his eyes and tone seemed to hate her so much. What did she do that was so unforgivable? James snorted coldly, “You’ve been away for a few years, it’s understandable that you’ve become strangers. But you can’t just sit around and wait for things to happen. You are a woman, and now you are Jack Aiden’s wife. You should understand what I mean when I say this.” Hazel looked up, puzzled. “Dad?” “You are my daughter, but now you are also Jack Aiden’s wife. You should use your strength to your advantage and talk to him about our past. If that doesn’t work, try harder.” James Brooks tone was indifferent, and there was no comfort in his words. Instead, he seemed to be blaming her. Hazel bit her lip, feeling a hint of disappointment. Her face turned pale and then red. Her father had never said a word of comfort to her since he first saw her. Instead, he blamed her and even said such things... “Dad, am I still your biological daughter?” How could such words come out of her father’s mouth? I know you’re worried about Brooks, but how have I been these days? Have you ever cared about me?” Hazel felt both disappointed and aggrieved, so she decided to express her long-standing dissatisfaction. “When I went abroad for a few years, did you ever come to see me? Did you ever care about how I was doing and what I had experienced overseas? During that long period of time, did you proactively call me?” Her heart ached at her father’s casual attitude. When she thought of Jack’s hatred and disgust towards her, as well as his disrespect towards her father, she suddenly wanted to ask a question that she had been holding back for days. “Dad, was it you who sent me to Jack Aiden’s room on my birthday party?” These days, she had been trying to figure out which part of the birthday party had gone wrong, but the hotel’s surveillance video had been destroyed. Brooks was on the verge of bankruptcy, and her father was trying to find investors. Although she didn’t want to think in that direction, if it wasn’t her father, why was she drunk and appeared in Jack’s room, and why did she coincidentally have those photos? James was taken aback, then frowned, “Hazel, what are you talking about? Do you think I’m that kind of person?” Hazel carefully observed her father’s expression. “Are you really not the one who did it?” “Hazel if you haven’t appeared that day, and if Mr. Aiden hadn’t proposed that you marry Jack, I would never have done such a thing!” Hazel heart fell to the ground instantly, and she also felt a little guilty. “I’m sorry, I just..” Jame waved his hand. “I understand. I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately because of the company’s affairs. I shouldn’t have said those things, and you shouldn’t take them to heart. Brooks was built by me and you mother. Most importantly, if Brooks goes bankrupt, we won’t be to afford your mother’s medical expenses...” “Hazel, the sanatorium has received a new batch of medicine that should be effective, but the cost is very high, I really have the intention but not the ability now. Hazel heard this and even felt more guilty,“I cannot watch the down fall of the Brooks family. Since I am a part of the Brooks family and have married Jack Aiden, no matter what kind of marriage we have or how long it will last, as long as am his wife, I cannot watch the bankruptcy of the Brooks family. I will beg him til he agree! After leaving the study, Hazel hurriedly called the sanatorium and learned that there was indeed a new drug that could help comatose patients wake up earlier, but once it was used it had to be used continuously. Suppressing her excitement, Hazel asked,“May I ask how much the cost would be?”"There's a situation on our end," said Peter.Jack remained calm. "Please explain.""Just now, the entire company experienced a power outage."Jack let out a slow breath. "Is that all?" If Peter were in front of him, he would have wanted to give him a good scolding. But this wasn't the place for that, so he held back."It's not that," Peter coughed lightly, looking somewhat embarrassed. "The engineering department already checked, but the circuit breaker was fine. They also checked other areas, but found no problems. However, the power came back on for a while just now, but...there were problems with everyone's card swipes."When working at Global, employees had to pass by a row of card readers when taking the elevator. They had to swipe their employee cards to enter. In fact, this was a kind of disguised clock-in method. This way, everyone didn't have to waste time lining up at the clock-in machine."Everyone's cards couldn't be recognized, so they couldn't enter and couldn't clock i
Hazel wanted to spend some more time with her mother during this period, but as soon as she turned around, Jack spoke up, "By the way, are you planning to go to Australia?"Upon hearing this, Hazel stopped in her tracks and suddenly remembered this matter. Yes, she was originally planning to go to Australia today to pick up Leo...She had completely forgotten about it!The thought of Leo possibly being disappointed in her made her furrow her brows slightly.But how did Jack know about it?She looked at him in surprise, "How did you know I was going there?""Someone named Lucy called you yesterday." He thought for a moment before adding, "You were still asleep at the time and she called several times. I was afraid of waking you up, so... I answered your phone."Hazel didn't have the mind to argue about him answering her phone without her consent. She was only thinking about her promise to Leo."Oh.""Why are you going to Australia?""Just... want to go and have a look." She still didn'
Richard stood by the door, cautiously peeking inside before walking in quietly. Hearing his soft footsteps, Hazel turned her head and saw Richard. She was slightly stunned and asked, "Richard?"Richard smiled and squinted his eyes, "Beauty.""How did you come here?" It was still early in the morning, why would Richard come here?"My uncle picked me up." On the way here, his uncle had told him not to mention anything about their grandmother, so he naturally wouldn't say much. He liked Hazel and didn't want to make her sad. Anyway... it didn't matter. Their grandmother didn't like Hazel, but he and his uncle liked her, and that was enough.Hazel was stunned again. Did Jack come to pick up Richard? If it were in the past, she would have thought that Jack was crazy for not letting the child sleep and bringing him here in the middle of the night. But now... on this autumn night, when she felt lonely and sad, a warm current slowly flowed through her heart, comforting her sunken heart."It's
Australia.Leo sat in his bedroom, staring at his packed suitcase with a heavy heart. He felt sick to his stomach. Hazel had promised to come and pick him up tomorrow and now suddenly had something else to do.Leo remembered what had happened earlier that day and didn't want to talk to him. Luckily, Lucy was there, so he handed the phone to her to ask on his behalf. The answer he got was that Hazel couldn't come to pick him up for the time being.Ha! What right did Jack have to answer Hazel's phone or to speak for her?"Leo?" Lucy knocked on the door and walked in. "What are you doing?"Leo glanced at Lucy, frowned, and looked out the window, refusing to speak."Still angry, huh?""...No."Lucy walked over and sat next to Leo. "You say you're not angry, but your expression says otherwise."Leo pursed his lips. He was already annoyed, and Lucy was teasing him!"Is it because Hazel can't come to pick you up at the last minute, so you're upset?"He really wanted to see Hazel, but he didn
The slightly heavy tone in Jack's voice made Hazel's breath suddenly stop. Although he only said a few words, her nose suddenly felt sour.She slowly stood up, like a puppet, without saying a word, just slowly lifting her head to look at him.Jack knew that she was waiting for his final answer.He bit his back teeth, closed his eyes, and finally said cruelly, "She... has passed away..."Hazel's spine stiffened, and it took a while before she trembled and asked, "Where... did you find her?"Jack closed his eyes and said, "...in the lake."Hazel's face instantly turned white, and she staggered. Jack quickly supported her. She gently pushed away Jack's hand and said, "You must be lying to me, right?" She forced a smile, but it was full of bitterness. "She was fine, right? She couldn't have gone to the lake, she couldn't have!"Jack sighed, feeling uneasy in his heart. "Calm down a bit.""I can't calm down!" Hazel shouted, then muttered, "She had dinner with me yesterday, talked to me, an
Walking out of the corridor and onto the grass by the artificial lake a few other bodyguards were also there."Mr. Jack, Mrs. Jack, Mr. Nick, this is..."Before Zion could finish his sentence, Jack raised his hand to signal him to stop.Nick looked at Jack and was about to ask him what was wrong when he heard Jack say to Hazel, "You go back first, I'll come find you later, okay?"If Mrs. Isabella was really in this artificial lake, Hazel would probably not be able to handle the shock. Even if the end result was not good, at least she wouldn't have to go through this process.Hazel shook her head. "I'll stay here.""Be obedient.""We've been looking for her for a long time, I want to know... where is she?""Don't worry, I will find her. You go upstairs first.""..." Hazel stopped talking, but stubbornly refused to leave."Mali!"Jack shouted, and Mali and another bodyguard who were standing nearby quickly ran over. Jack gestured to them, and they both grabbed Hazel's arms and led her t
