The 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?”"Hazel, did you not rest well yesterday?" Martha looked at the somewhat haggard Hazel with concern and asked. "Well. just a little bit." Hazel replied.Not having rested all night, her mental state was naturally not great.After arranging everything for the party yesterday and making sure everything was in order, she returned to Rose villa very late. Despite being very tired, she did not sleep and instead rushed to finish the birthday gift for Jack so that she could personally give it to him on his birthday today."Do you want a cup of coffee?" Martha took out a bag of instant coffee from the drawer. "I just bought a box today.""No, thank you." Hazel shook her head. "It's getting late, I'll go upstairs to clean up first.""Okay," When she thought of the CEO, Martha couldn't help but speak again. "Be careful not to provoke the CEO again.""I shouldn't." Hazel took the cleaning tools and headed straight to the 38th floor, of course, with the bank card that Jack gave her. Although Jac
Jack sneered, "Anna, it's been a while, why are you so talkative now?"Anna shrugged as if she couldn't hear his sarcasm, "Haven't I always been like this, Jack?"Hazel quickly glanced at Jack and saw his impatient expression. Although she felt a little disappointed, she still couldn't help but pull Anna's arm ans signal her to stop talking.But Anna ignored her, "Hazel, what's your relationship with him? What's wrong with him accompanying you to buy clothes?" She looked at Jack again and blinked her eyes with a smile, "Jack, or is it that you can't bear to spend the money?"Jack's eyes were cold and he stared at Hazel who remained silent. He suddenly felt disgusted. He had suspected that this woman was deliberately following him and letting Anna say these things. Now it seemed that his guess was not wrong at all. He didn't want to deal with them anymore, so he handed the card that hadn't been put into his wallet to Hazel, "I don't have time to argue with you. Aren't you here to buy t
After returning from the old mansion of Jack's family, Hazel was full of doubts. Anita didn't answer her, just stared at her coldly with resentment for a long time before saying contemptuously, "Hazel, you did this to yourself. Have you forgotten?Ha!I really don't know whether to say you have a big heart or what. How can there be a woman like you in the world? You look good and can act cute, but your heart is so wicked."What did she do to make Anita hate her so much? This question had been bothering her all night, and she even had a nightmare. In the dream, Anita was chasing her with a knife, calling her all sort of names.She spent another day in the company in a daze,and after work, she didn't stay long because she had to rush to buy a birthday gift. She grabbed her bag and hurried out."Hazel!"Hearing the voice, Hazel looked over and saw Anna standing by the fountain in front of Global gate waving at her with a bright smile."I thought you said you wouldn't be back for another tw
Over the next two days, Hazel didn't receive any intentional harassment from Jack, and she didn't even see him around. Of course, this was a good thing for her, this was a good thing. Except... her colleagues in the cleaning department gave her strange looks and occasionally said some unpleasant things, but she chose to ignore them.Two days before Jack's birthday, she received a call from the Aiden family's old mansion before leaving work, inviting her to dinner.She hurried over and found that Jack was already at home. When he saw her enter, he just glanced at her lightly and didn't say much. Silas and his wife also came, and when Anita saw her, her face naturally didn't look good. But since Jack Grandpa didn't show any reaction, only Richard, that little guy, greeted her with a smile.After dinner, Jack grandpa asked everyone to go to the living room."Tomorrow is Jack's birthday." He couldn't help but sigh, "Time really flies. Jack is already twenty six years." He then looked at H
After waiting for Hazel to return to the company, Richard finished his food slowly and was about to leave. However, as soon as he walked out of a cafe, a man blocked his way."Young master Richard.""Uncle Peter, hello." Richard greeted Peter with a smile. "Is uncle Peter having lunch now?""No, the CEO wants me to take you to his office for a moment."Richard was taken aback."My uncle is looking for me?""Yes.""Can I ...not go?" Richard naturally refused at the thought of a certain person's face.Peter smiled lightly. "I'm afraid not."Although Richard was reluctant, he followed Petetr to Jack's office. when he saw a certain person, he became very obedient. "Uncle."Jack lazily glanced at Richard and didn't respond."Uncle," Richard blinked his eyes. "What do you want to see me for?""Tell me, what are you doing here?" Jack asked straight forwardly, "You were just with Hazel?"Richard was stunned. "Did you see us?" He didn't even notice his uncle, the big boss, how did he know that
The next day, Hazel went to Global with a pair of panda eyes, carrying the "homework" that Jack had asked her to do. Jack looked at the paper filled with writing and slightly curled his lips, then began to point out flaws, "Your handwriting is sloppy. Are you just trying to get by?""No," Hazel replied with a good temper, "Mr. Jake, this is how I write.""Is that so?" He glanced at her sideways. "Then tell me, what does article 11 of the third item of Global says?"Hazel was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Jack to pull this on her. Although she had a good memory, she had done it yesterday with the intention of just getting by. How could she really remember? Besides, she was tired and sleepy later on, and it was impossible for her to think about memorizing these contents."Can't remember?""Or did you not really try to remember?"Facing the aggressive Jack, Hazel replied with a stiff scalp, "Mr. Jack, I have completed what you asked me to give you.""It's good that you complet
