This restaurant not only required a reservation, but they were strict about the timing—if you were more than twenty minutes late, they would give your table to the next customer.

Reluctantly, Hazel nodded. “Since you haven’t eaten yet, come along. After all, we’re all friends.”

Damon shot a resentful glare at Xander before eagerly settling into his seat.

If he weren’t worried about making Hazel upset, he would’ve yanked Xander out of the seat and sat next to Hazel himself.

When they arrived, Damon immediately noticed it was a place frequently visited by couples.

The restaurant had a romantic and somewhat ambiguous atmosphere, with most customers pairing off in couples—both men with men and women with women, though these were rare. Groups of three or four were even more unusual; most people came in pairs.

“This can’t be a couple’s restaurant, right? I don’t see anyone else dining in groups of three. It’s just us.”

Damon walked in front

    Damon sat beside Hazel, his apologetic voice soft enough to make even himself feel uncomfortable. Hazel didn’t respond, and soon the atmosphere at the table became harmonious again, with no one speaking or making any inappropriate moves.After finishing the meal, Hazel said she needed to use the restroom, leaving only Damon and Xander at the table.This time, neither of them spoke. They both focused on their phones, and about ten minutes later, when Hazel still hadn’t returned, Damon started to sense that something was wrong."What’s going on? Hazel wouldn’t be feeling unwell, would she? You stay here, I’ll ask a waiter to check on her in the restroom."Xander, also sensing something was off, couldn’t stay seated. He stood up and followed a female waiter to the restroom area.They waited by the door while the waiter went inside to check if Hazel needed anything.To their surprise, the waiter came out alone after a quick check. "Sorry, gentle

    "I think the same way. You should come too, and bring Xander Knox along with you. Don’t worry, I’m inviting you as guests because I want to learn something from you. As long as you cooperate, Hazel will be fine." "By the way, you should know the location, right? After all, you just left the estate. I’ll have someone meet you at the place you were earlier." Without waiting for Damon to respond, the person on the other end hung up. Damon held the phone for a long time without putting it down. He and Xander were close enough for Xander to hear the voice from the phone. In other words, every move they made was being monitored by this person. They were both CEOs—one of HX, the other of Price Corp—who were already regarded as elites in the eyes of ordinary people, but in this person’s eyes, they were no more significant than ants. "Well then, let’s head over. There’s really no better option right now, is there?" Xander said resignedly. Given the situati

    Hazel carefully examined the dishes on the table, and her face immediately darkened. These were not her favorite foods, but her mother Novaria's favorites, which meant that the man in front of her must have had a close relationship with her mother.Given that he knew her mother's favorite dishes so well, their relationship couldn’t just be described as ‘good’ anymore.They were either the closest of kin or each other’s greatest and most formidable enemies.Only these two kinds of people could know each other so thoroughly.From the way the man had acted toward her, Hazel guessed that his relationship with her mother was likely the former."What is your relationship with my parents? These dishes are all my mother's favorites, and you’re so familiar with her," Hazel asked, her voice cold, as if laced with poison. The thought that this man might be connected to her parents' accident made her heart feel as though it were being pricked by a thousand nee

    Hazel hadn't replied yet when Damon's message popped up first:[At a time like this, who cares about the voting meeting? You can’t even guarantee your safety, and you're still worried about work? Unbelievable.]Hazel smirked. Damon wasn’t even trying to hide his disdain for Xander.[I’ll talk to him about it first thing in the morning,] she replied. [Might as well use the opportunity to test how he feels about us leaving.][Fine. If we can leave, we’ll go; if not, I’ll just hold the meeting online.] Xander responded, clearly more focused on practicality.Damon frowned, his brows practically tied in a knot. He couldn’t fathom how these two could still discuss work while their lives were hanging by a thread.[Alright, enough. Go to bed. We need to get up early tomorrow,] he said, breaki

    Harold pressed his lips together and said, “We just met, so you might not know me that well yet. I’m a straightforward guy, not one for beating around the bush or making empty promises.” “Since I said I wanted to talk to you alone, I meant it. It’s about Hazel.” Damon’s expression turned serious. He suddenly remembered that this man was supposed to be Hazel’s grandfather. No matter how things stood between them, some respect was still due. After all, he wasn’t sure how his relationship with Hazel might develop in the future. If it turned out everything before was just a misunderstanding, there might come a time when they’d have to reconcile. If he burned bridges with Harold now, it’d just create another obstacle between him and Hazel later on. Straightening his posture, he looked Harold directly in the eye. “About Hazel? What about her?” “I know you were married to her before, and I know you hurt her. I also know you’re trying to win her bac

    Harold wasn’t fooled. He had done his homework. Damon’s obsession with Hazel ran deep—he’d done far too much for her already.This offer would definitely tempt him.If not for the threat posed by Xander, Damon wouldn’t have followed Hazel all the way to Country D.Initially, Harold had planned to approach Xander for this deal. But the moment he realized Damon was here too, he shifted his focus.Compared to Xander, Damon had a more daring, all-or-nothing attitude.And when it came to business acumen, Damon was undoubtedly the better partner.“Hazel’s parents were actually researchers for an organization—key researchers, in fact,” Harold began, his tone low and deliberate. “They developed a drug capable of enhancing all human bodily functions. But here’s the catch—it requires the umbilical cord blood of a newborn as the catalyst.”“I’ve spent my entire life pursuing the key to immortality. Ever since I handed over my research to Hazel’s

    “To be honest,” Hazel began after a moment of thought, “I do have some early memories of living with him when I was little. Back then, I remember feeling happy. But now... I don’t get that feeling from him at all.”Not only was there no sense of happiness, but Hazel also found herself increasingly uneasy in Harold’s presence.Whenever his gaze lingered on her, she felt an inexplicable discomfort, like her entire body was on edge.But even with this knowledge, it was impossible to confirm whether Harold was really Hazel's grandfather."Even if he’s not my grandfather, his connection to my mother must be significant. What should we do now? Damon is still with him, and I’m not sure if he’s holding onto him to lure us back or for some other reason.""But keeping us around—what does he even gain from that?"Hazel couldn’t figure it out. She only knew that Harold wanted something from her, something her parents had left behind. But as for what it

    After saying that, Hazel quickly rushed out of the room without daring to look back at Damon’s expression. Damon, still standing in the room, froze for a moment. After realizing that Hazel had been shy, he immediately got excited and jumped onto the bed. If someone like Hazel, with her personality, was shy in front of him, that meant he had a chance! So, it seemed that Hazel liked this kind of interaction. He figured that he’d have to create more opportunities for physical contact in the future. With this thought in mind, Damon began to plan his next move for creating physical contact with Hazel. Xander arrived at the airport, expecting that Harold would have someone follow him. To his surprise, he boarded the plane without any trouble. Of course, he wasn’t so arrogant as to think Harold wouldn’t foresee this, but he simply believed that Harold didn’t see him as a threat. Once back in the country, Xander immediately contacted the Price and C

    "Don’t think I’m clueless about everything. Let me tell you, when I interned at home, I did really well. My brother always praised how quickly I pick up things," Chrissy said confidently."I've already discussed this with my family. They trust me being here with you. They even said it would be best if you helped me find a reliable partner, but you don’t need to worry about that. I can handle it myself."Before Damon could respond, Carlos jumped in, "No need, the way you pick your partners, you’re better off screening out the scumbags yourself.""Hey!" Chrissy shouted at Carlos, startling him.Carlos, knowing that Chrissy was a bit loud and unpredictable, quickly turned to Damon to avoid further confrontation. "I just remembered there are some work matters I haven’t finished. I need to leave now, so you can just hand over the work to me when you have a moment. Let’s call it a day."With that, he hurriedly exited, and Chriss

    Hazel gave Elias a mischievous look, her meaning clear. "How long have you been dating, and already you’re trying to deceive Sully? What would happen if you'd been together longer?"Elias wasn’t a complicated person. His thoughts were simple, and he was somewhat slow when it came to relationships. If it weren't for Sully being more proactive, the two of them might not have made any progress at all. Hearing Hazel say that, Elias panicked immediately. "Sully, it’s not like that. I just thought it wasn’t a big deal, and Xander didn’t tell me what it was about, so I just…" Elias couldn’t finish his sentence, and Hazel added, "You didn’t know what it was but still chose to help Xander? Tsk, tsk, seems like your relationship with Sully isn’t that solid after all. It’s not as long as your connection with Xander." "No, that’s not it…" Elias tried to explain, but didn’t know how, feeling so flustered he could almost cry. "Alright, alright, I get what you

    Elias is quite straightforward and not good at lying, especially not in front of Sully—he can’t get away with it. As soon as Sully guessed the truth, Elias’s face changed instantly. He stuttered for a long time, unable to say a single complete sentence. Sully hung up the phone and directly took Hazel to Elias’s apartment. Meanwhile, Xander thought Sully hadn’t figured it out. He lazily flipped through a book and said, “I’m still the smartest. The most dangerous place is the safest place.” It sounds good, but if he had other friends or somewhere else to go, Xander wouldn’t have come to Elias’s place and walked right into a trap. “No, I’m guessing they’re already on their way. As soon as I said one thing, Sully immediately figured it out. She really knows me too well.” Even though he hadn’t managed to do what Xander had asked, Elias still felt pleased that his new girlfriend understood him so well.

    Agent Amber thought back, realizing how naive she had been."So you're saying that the person who saved me back then was your mother, not Adele? She purposely made me owe her a favor just so her daughter could enter the entertainment industry?"As for whether Adele had such a long-term plan, Hazel couldn't be sure. But what was clear was that Novaria had indeed helped someone like that.Looking back now, it's uncertain whether it was really this person Novaria had helped or if it was all just coincidence."Agent Amber, don't rush. I only remember this one thing and felt it was too much of a coincidence, which is why I mentioned it. Maybe it really was a coincidence, that the same thing happened to my mother and Adele.""Good thing there are records from the hospital. We can go look for them. Anyone who went with the ambulance had to register and sign, so we can find out who signed the paperwork."If Amber hadn't already been dissatisfied wit

    At over thirty, Agent Amber was still unmarried and without a boyfriend.Before, when no male celebrities were willing to ride on the coattails of Agent Amber's fame, she gave them a sharp rebuke, and no one dared try to use this method to rise to stardom after that."I was thinking of promoting another artist and then transitioning, but who would have thought I'd end up with someone like Bailey, such a fool," she muttered."In order to save my reputation, after Bailey, I’ll probably need to bring out an actor who’s won either a Best Actor or Best Actress award before I can step down. But it won't be that easy."In this industry, a lot of things are beyond one’s control.The two were sitting at the dinner table when Agent Amber noticed the large spread of dishes, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Hazel."I always thought someone like you wouldn’t be great at cooking, but I didn’t expect you to do such a good job.

    When they returned home, the living room only had Mark and Carlos, who was playing chess with him. Seeing that only Chrissy was with Damon, Mark looked toward the door with anticipation. "Why is it just the two of you? Where are Hazel and her friend?" Carlos spoke without hesitation, showing no consideration for Damon. "They probably didn’t get picked up. Xander must have taken her." There were only a few people present, and it didn’t matter if they stayed or left. Everyone knew the situation between Hazel and Damon. Mark rolled his eyes at Damon. "Useless. You can’t even bring your favorite girl to dinner. If I had known, I would have gone to the airport to bring Hazel back myself." Grumbling as he walked toward the dining table, Mark saw that the servants had already begun to bring out the food, having noticed Damon’s car arriving.

    "You don’t need to worry about this. All you need to know is that I’m not here to kill you."Hazel sneered, her eyes filled with disdain. “Just you?”With that, she turned and left the bathroom without hesitation, not caring whether the other party had anyone else with them.

    In the end, the shop's long-time second-in-command raised his hand and took the stage. "Miss, you're so skilled—would you mind sparring with me for a couple of rounds? Help me figure out where I'm going wrong. I haven't made any progress in a long time, so I would really appreciate your guidance."Hazel hesitated, unsure of what to say. She enjoyed fighting, but giving advice was new to her. Usually, she only pointed out issues when talking to familiar people.When Sully heard someone wanted to spar with Hazel, she took the initiative to step off the field and leave the space for her and the coach.Seeing Hazel hesitate, the coach assumed she thought little of his skills and hurriedly reassured her."Don't worry, miss. I'm not the best in this gym, but I’ve always been second. I'm tough and not afraid of a few hits. As long as it doesn't endanger my life, feel free to go all out."His humble request left Hazel unable to refuse. She agre
