Hazel 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"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
