Hazel remained silent for a moment before smiling and saying, “How old are you? These are not questions you should be asking. Let’s go, your uncle will be angry if he see us here.”
“Don’t you like him?” Richard didn’t move and continued stubbornly, “Although my uncle has a bad temper, he’s not that bad. Beautiful sister, why don’t you try to like my uncle? What do you think?” Hazel couldn’t help but laugh, and her bad mood seemed to dissipate a bit. ’Beautiful sister? Richard, I’m your aunt.” “Aunt doesn’t sound good! Are you really not considering it? Do you like my uncle?” He looked disappointed when Hazel didn’t answer, “You’re already married to him.” Hazel sighed and didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, “Richard, even if I like your uncle, he may not like me. So, let’s drop this topic, okay?” “Because of Ashley?” Richard frowned at the incoming call on his phone and looked at his screen, “But I don’t like her. I think you and my uncle are better together.” Hazel didn’t want to talk about this anymore and stood up directly, “Let’s go outside.” As soon as she finished speaking, the phone, which had been placed on the coffee table when she came in, started vibrating again. “Ashley?” Richard looked at the incoming call and couldn’t help but frown. He looked at Hazel and said, “Beautiful sister, answer it and see what she wants.” “She’s looking for your uncle, and it’s impolite for us to answer his phone.” Hazel replied. Richard shook his head and looked down at his phone, “You’re really timid! You’re my uncle’s wife now, what’s wrong with answering his phone?” He took the phone and said, “If you’re afraid, I’ll answer it. I’ll talk to her properly!” After speaking, he directly swiped the answer button-- Hazel’s breath caught in her throat, and she stared at Richard not knowing how to react. “Jack.... Ashley’s clear and pleasant voice came through the phone. Richard sneered and covered the phone with his hand as he whispered to Hazel, “Don’t worry, I’ve got your back!” “But what about your uncle....” “I’ll handle him for you! He won’t do anything to me, trust me!” “Jack, why aren’t you saying anything?” On the other end of the phone, Ashley didn’t hear any response from Jack. After a moment of silence, she continued, “Are you mad at me for not contacting you these past few days?” Hazel was too nervous to even breath properly. She thought, if Jack found out that she listened to hs phone call, she didn’t know how he will react. But now, she was just standing there, unable to do anything. “Don’t be angry,” Ashley said playfully, “I’ve been rehabilitating my strained ligament these past few days and I had to cooperate with the doctor, so I haven’t contacted you. I also want to get better as soon as possible because the new drama you recommended me for, even though it was just a word from you, I don’t want to delay it for too long and make others think i’m too arrogant. Jack, even though I know you think of everything for me, I want to be the best version of myself and stand by your side perfectly.” “Ah, this drama will take a year to film and it’s overseas. I won’t be able to see you often for a year. Jack, I miss you so much right now...” Richard rolled his eyes and made a disgusted expression. Hazel saw it and didn’t laugh. She lowered her gaze and looked at the thick carpet under her feet. No wonder with Jack’s personality, he was so angry but still married her, and then proposed to divorce her a year later. It turned out.... The marriage was arranged by his Grandfather, and he agreed to get married to please his grandfather and not affect his relationship with Ashley. After a year, he would have an explanation to Grandpa and could still be with Ashley. Ha.... What was she to him? It was truly pathetic! “Jack, why aren’t you saying anything?” Richard was listening to the sound of her voice with a disgusted expression when suddenly his body stiffened. He quickly hung up on the phone and sat up straight, looking like he had done something wrong. Hazel hadn’t even had a chance to ask him what was wrong when she felt a sharp gaze piercing her back, and the air seemed to thin out in an instant. She frowned slightly, feeling a bad premonition rising in her heart. When she turned around, she saw Jack standing my the door, his black eyes filled with a difficult-to-express light, and his whole body exuding a cold killing intent. Her heart trembled as she stared at him, watching him walk towards her with steady steps. He wasn’t walking fast, but his black eyes were locked unto her, and a cold smile played on his lips. The closer he got, the deeper the smile became, making her heart race. “uncle....” Richard swallowed hard and stood up obediently, then handed his phone to the dangerous-looking man. Jack took the phone without even giving Richard a glance, then turned to Hazel and narrowed his eyes, his voice heavy as he spoke, “Hazel, are you satisfied with what you heard?” “I...” Hazel wanted to say that she didn’t mean to listen to his phone call, but if she really said that it was Richard’s idea, wouldn’t that be betraying him? But if she didn’t say anything, how would she explain it? She looked over to Richard, hoping that the little troublemaker could help her explain. Although he was still a child, it seemed that he was the only who could help her now. But where was Richard now? Hazel stared at the spot where Richard had just been standing, her mind filled with question marks. When did that little rascal run away? He had just promised her that he would take care of everything, so where was he now? “What’s wrong with you?” Jack sneered and spun the phone in is hand twice . “I want to hear your explanation.” “I ....didn’t mean to.” At this moment, that was the only thing she could say. “Heh....” Jack laughed, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “Hazel, your courage is getting bigger and bigger.” His sharp and sinister eyes swept over her. “What, do you think that now you are Mrs.Jack, you have the right to touch my things? Who gave you permission? “No, I didn’t think that way.” But Jack didn’t listen at all. “Tell me, what did you say to her?”"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
