Sully also fell into deep thought. It had been so many years since Hazel’s parents passed away, and now only people with closer connections would bring up such a topic. Those people wouldn't approach Hazel in such a way, so the purpose behind this person’s actions really was hard to determine.

Sully frowned, and her expression stiffened as she looked at Hazel.

“You said there were so many people around you, all the noise and chatter, could it be that you really misheard?”

Hazel also began to doubt herself. Could it really be a mistake? But the feeling at the time had been so vivid.

“Forget it. If this person really has a purpose, they’ll definitely show up again,” she said.

Sully nodded. “Then you should be careful for a while. Your villa is empty now, so how about I move in with you? It’s not safe for you to be alone.”

Although she knew Hazel was capable, it still made her uneasy. After all, she was a woman living in such a large house alone.

    Bailey initially just expressed her opinion, and the team leader patiently explained. “This isn’t a romance play. The female lead’s main task is to focus on her career, and the male lead’s presence would only hold her back, so they can’t end up together.” The script for this play was written by an experienced member of their team, but ultimately, everyone sat together to revise and approve it as a group. With Amber’s connections, Bailey had managed to secure the role of the female lead. However, convincing the entire team to follow her vision was no simple task. Teamwork was essential in this kind of project. Without her teammates supporting her, Bailey couldn’t pull off the lead role on her own. “Why can’t the female lead have it all? In the end, the boyfriend could just support her career, and that would be fine, right?” Bailey was always a fan of happy endings. Now that she was the lead, she naturally wanted the ending to unfold as she liked. Moreove

    Cataleya's face remained expressionless, but her tone betrayed her rising anger. The only reason she didn't fully express it was because of the cameras around her.After all, as an actor, keeping emotions under control was a basic skill required to survive in the entertainment industry.Someone like Bailey, however, owed her position entirely to her agent, Amber, and her influential parents. Without them, her personality alone would have seen her kicked out long before entering the industry.“I suggest you all rein in your arrogance. The entertainment industry isn’t a place where just any stray cat or dog can come and snatch a share!”After reprimanding them briefly, Cataleya shifted her focus to identifying the issues with their play. Once she clarified her points with the group leader, she prepared to leave.Just as she was about to step out of the rehearsal room, a team member, unwilling to let it go, called out.“Mentor, should we replac

    “How about I introduce you to a driver? You can have them drive you around whenever you go out, I really can’t feel at ease otherwise.” Damon, who had just sat down, still couldn't relax. After all, because of Agatha, Hazel had been in an accident before. And as soon as Hazel took the wheel and avoided the professional driver he hired, Damon’s concerns couldn’t be shaken off. “I don’t need it. Have you ordered yet? Let’s eat, I’m starving.” Not wanting to hear more of Damon’s nagging, Hazel quickly changed the subject. Damon handed her the menu. “Here, take a look. The items I’ve already ordered are marked. Let me know if you want anything else.” Damon had already ordered enough, and most of it was food that Hazel liked. She only ordered a glass of water for herself, then shifted the conversation to the hospital. “I’m really sorry about how my mom treated you in the hospital. It’s my fault, I should’ve explained things to her beforehand. After I ta

    The shares had all returned to Hazel’s hands, and it was impossible for anyone to buy them back from the person they had sold them to. After learning about the situation at Queen Corp, Jonah went to Mr. Will, trying to offer a higher price to buy back all the shares he had previously sold. However, Mr. Will no longer held any shares in Queen Corp, so there was no way he could fulfill Jonah's request. But Mr. Will didn’t mention that he had sold the shares to Hazel. Instead, he flatly refused to sell. Now that Queen Corp’s prospects were looking up, any businessman would hesitate to sell shares they had worked so hard to acquire, especially at this moment. However, the fact that Mr. Will had transferred the shares to Hazel couldn’t be kept a secret. Eventually, Jonah found out. The reason Jonah had sold the shares to Mr. Will in the first place was to try and trick Hazel. Now, he hadn’t managed to deceive her, and instead, all the shares had ended up back in

    Jonah cleared his throat, trying to make himself seem a little more authoritative. "Hazel, I came today to ask you something. How many shares of Queen Corp do you have now? Did you buy the shares that I sold to Mr. Will? How much did you pay for them?" "What shares? Uncle, are you saying you sold all your shares?" Hazel pretended to be surprised, covering her mouth. Her acting was worse than Bailey's, and it was all for Jonah’s benefit. However, Jonah couldn’t tell, and he thought Hazel genuinely didn’t know about it. "You don't know? That can't be right. Yesterday, your aunt guessed that you must have fifty percent of the shares by now." So it was Adele who had guessed it. No wonder—considering Jonah's intelligence, he could never have thought of that himself. "No, that's just a joke. How could I have that much money to buy back all those shares? You guys know how much assets I have, right?" When Hazel returned, Adele and Jonah had already in

    Adele clearly noticed that something was off with him, but when she asked, he insisted that everything was fine. After they finished eating, when Jonah was about to return to his room, Adele directly guided him to sit on the sofa. "Come on, tell me. What happened? Is there some kind of conflict at the company? Or did you find out something about Hazel?" Jonah hesitated for a long time. When he saw Adele about to lose her temper, he cautiously revealed everything he had done today, including what Hazel had told him to say to Adele. This time, it was Adele’s turn to be stunned. When the video incident came up, it wasn’t a lie to say she wasn’t scared. After all, she had been involved in the arson, and whether or not her actions had directly caused the death of the person, the fact remained that the person was dead, and she couldn’t wash her hands of it. After thinking for a long time and finding no solution, Adele, in her anger, grabbed the pillow next to

    The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. As soon as the call connected, Delilah immediately asked, "Marcus, is everything okay on your end? No special situations happening?" On the other side, Marcus was sitting in his room packing up his things. From the gossip he’d overheard from the neighbors recently, he’d figured out that the unfamiliar faces around town were likely here because of him. They were probably people from the Price family, but Marcus still didn’t know why they hadn’t taken action against him yet. If the Price family had really figured something out, they wouldn’t let him off. "You really know how to ask," Marcus said. "I just noticed someone watching me, and then your call comes in. Is something happening on your side? Is the child really not Demian's?" "What nonsense are you talking about!" Delilah became agitated immediately after Marcus's words. She had just given birth, and if Damon figured out something was wrong wit

    "I’ll find a way to bring her back to the Price residence. My Grandpa’s health isn’t good, so we have most of the medical equipment at home. If Hazel just has external injuries, treating her should be no problem."Even though this hospital was invested in by the Price Corp, Damon no longer dared to let Hazel stay here for treatment.After all, there were so many people in the hospital, and he couldn’t be sure whether they were all from the Prices."I understand. If you need anything, just call me directly. You can keep Sully close to you. She’s a girl, and she has a good relationship with Hazel.

    “You have one too? Where did you get it?” Mark was utterly stunned. For a moment, he thought Hazel might have some connection to his estranged brother.“There’s a secret room in my parents’ study,” Hazel explained. “When I went in once, I found it there. I was worried it might be tied to something dangerous, so I didn’t dare mention it.”As she spoke, Hazel felt a pang of guilt. These people cared so deeply about her family matters, sharing everything they knew, yet she had withheld this crucial piece of information.“I’m sorry,” she said earnestly. “I didn’t mean to keep it from you. I was just afraid that knowing about this might put people in danger.”Her parents’ tragic fate still weighed heavily on her, making her cautious about involving anyone else. These people were family to her now, and she couldn’t bear the thought of putting them at risk.“This is your family matter,” Mark said gently. “It’s perfectly normal if there are things you don’

I thought he might have planted some false information to mislead me into passing it along to you.""What exactly is Harold's objective? If he wanted to take the Shadow Vial X from you, he should have worked to gain your trust. Why would he reveal the entire truth to you through me?"Now that the truth was out, it was impossible to hide that Harold had a hand in harming Hazel's parents.If Harold thought he could convince Hazel to hand over the artifact now, he was clearly deluding himself."I don't understand it either," Hazel admitted. "Maybe he has a plan that we just don’t know about yet. That puts us at a disadvantage."The thought unsettled her. This constant feeling of being in the dark while the enemy operated from the shadows left her deeply uneasy.Esp

    "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.

    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."
