LOGINHazel sat there, drinking many glasses of alcohol in a row, but her heart was still sour and uncomfortable. Jack had already left, effortlessly socializing with those people. But the words he had just said kept lingering in her mind.
Of course, she understood the meaning behind his words. Rachael looked at Hazel, feeling very pleased. Fortunately, she didn't leave now, otherwise how could she have witnessed such a wonderful scene? Even if she couldn't reveal the fact that Hazel and Jack were married and make others laugh at her, she was still satisfied now. The usually arrogant Miss Brooks actually had such a day! "Hazel", Rachael raised her eyebrows, "Are you okay?" She looked at Hazel with a seemingly concerned expression, "Jack is too much. He actually said in front of you that Ashley is innocent. You are now also Mrs. Jack but you must not be feeling good now, right?" Watching Hazel tilt her head back and finish the drink in her glass, the smile on her lips grew even bigger. "But, actually, you can't blame Jack. Everyone knows that Ashley is the one he likes. Back then, you went to his room and even took Ashley's place. Anyone would be angry. You gave up on Andrew, and now you're also feeling so suffocated as Mrs. Jack. Are you regretting it now?But it's useless to regret now. It was all your choice. to put it bluntly, it's because you don't love yourself enough. Why do you have to choose to climb...." With a loud bang, Hazel slammed her glass down on the table and turned her head to look at Hazel coldly. "Have you said enough?" Rachael's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly straightened her back. "Why are you angry? Am I not speaking the truth?" Hazel sneered, and her gaze towards Rachael was very cold. "Rachael, you've really grown some guts now! How come you're not pretending to be weak anymore? I really don't know who gave you the courage to speak like this. If you're smart enough, even if you don't thank me, at least you should learn to shut up." Rachael immediately laughed and pointed at her own nose. "Thank you? Hazel, why should I thank you? Did you give birth to me or raise me? Do I have to thank you?" 'Very well," Hazel nodded. "You said I don't love myself and climbed onto Jack's bed. Whether I wanted to or not, the fact is that Brooks company was able to get through this difficult time because of me. If it weren't for me, do you think you would still be able to appear here so brightly and use that kind of face to mock me?" "You..." Rachael's face turned dark. "Do you have any shame left? I'm embarrassed for you!" "I have no shame, then do you?" Hazel looked coldly at the person in front of him, feeling nothing but disgust. "Don't forget, the future of Brooks, including your current decent life, was all exchanged for my lack of self-love. You're so proud, why don't you move out of the Brooks family and support yourself? You're enjoying the peace that lack of self-love brought you, what right do you have to mock me?" Rachael was at a loss of words, her face turning from green to white. She had always been indifferent to Hazel, and she hated her from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for her mother's warning, she would have given up long ago. Today, she finally had a good opportunity, but she still couldn't take advantage of it. She was really angry! Hazel glanced at Rachael and turned to leave. "Hazel?" Looking at the person who came, Hazel nodded lightly. "Andrew." Seeing the situation between the two, Andrew calmly pulled Rachael's hand away and asked Hazel, "What's wrong?' "It's nothing. I'll go first," Hazel shook her head. "Hazel" Andrew wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Rachael. "Andrew, where are you going?" Hazel walked out of the venue unsteadily, bumping into two people along the way. She didn't even apologize. She knew it was impolite, but she couldn't care less. She had taken cold medicine today and had a drink earlier. She didn't even know what kind of drink it was, and now she was feeling dizzy and uncomfortable all over.But the most uncomfortable thing was her heart. She knew she shouldn't care, and normally she wouldn't even bother with Rachael. But today, for some reason she felt a bit unsettled. She was strong, but she was still just a human, a woman among humans. Waiting for the elevator with her arms crossed, she just wanted to leave as soon as possible. But the elevator seemed to be against her, and she waited for a while without it arriving. Frowning, she walked straight to the stairwell. As soon as she reached the stairwell door, someone grabbed her arm. "Hazel" said Andrew. "What are you doing out here?" "I'm not sure" said Hazel, stopping. "Andrew, why are you here?" "I was worried about you, so I came out to check on you" said Andrew walking in front of her. "Hazel, I din't expect to see you here today." "..." Hazel didn't look up. "Andrew you should go back first. I want to leave." Andrew didn't let her go, pulling her arm, "Hazel, look at me." After waiting for a while,Hazel still refused to look up. Andrew reached out and gently pinched her chin to force her to look at him. But when he saw her slightly reddened eyes, he was stunned. "Hazel... did Racheal say something to you? She and I came here today at the request of your dad." "No." She turned her head away and took a step back. "I understand, you don't need to explain anything." "But.." he was about to say something, but suddenly became angry. He grabbed the hand that had a band aid on it and said with some pain, "Did Jack bully you?" Before Hazel could speak, Andrew continued, "I should have known. He came here with you, but he din't stay with you. I just heard from someone that he gave that necklace to another woman. But did he dare to hit you? That bastard!" "...." Hazel endured the uncomfortable feeling of dizziness and said, "No, he didn't hit me. Andrew, I'm a little tired. I'm going back first." "You don't have to explain. How good can he be to you?" Andrew was very angry. He looked at the silent woman in front of him and without thinking, he hugged her. "Hazel, divorce him. You don't deserve this!" Hazel as stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly. 'Andrew, let go of me." She pushed him away, but it didn't have much effect. "No way!" Andrew held her tighter. "Hazel, he doesn't love you! not even a little bit! If he treated you better, I could tolerate it. But what has he done? Even on an occasion like this, he doesn't want you to feel good!" Hazel was stunned for a moment, and the bitterness in her eyes couldn't be suppressed any longer. She blinked and tears rolled down her cheeks. Yes, Jack didn't love her, she had known that for a long time. She had been silently shedding tears, but at this moment, her grievances were infinitely magnified, and she began to sob softly. "Leave him, Hazel, I'll take you away." "Ding!" The sound of lighter suddenly rang out. Andrew let go of Hazel. " Jack?" Hazel froze for a moment. Her head was so heavy, but when she heard the name "Jack",She suddenly felt a little panicked. Jack elegantly exhaled a puff of smoke, and the smoke lingered around him. Hazel's eyes were a little hazy, unable to read his emotions, but she felt as if she was being oppressed by a heavy pressure, and the air seemed to have cooled down a bit. He looked at her indifferently, with a smile on his lips, but the words he spoke were cold. "Hazel, have you forgotten what I told you?" As if sensing Hazel's uneasiness and fear, Andrew pulled her towards him. "Jack, don't go too far!" Jack sneered and flicked the cigarette, which he had only taken one puff of, in front of Andrew's feet. He didn't even look at him, only looked at Hazel and spoke coldly, as if summoning a pet he had raised. "Come here, Hazel"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
