Delilah struggled to hide the frustration on her face.

From how Damon treated her now, even though they were married, he still wouldn’t live with her. This meant her position in the Price family would be weakened.

If she could move into the old mansion, although it wouldn’t give her complete control over Damon, she could use the baby to win favor with the elders. In that case, her status in the Price family would be secure.

"Aunt, Damon and I aren’t married yet. Moving into the old mansion at this time... It doesn’t seem appropriate. Let’s not do that."

Agatha patted Delilah’s hand. "Oh, you’ll be married soon enough, what’s the big deal? We’ll just have Damon pick you up from the old mansion and take you to the hotel for the ceremony. It’s settled, then."

At the Price Corp building, Kin was reporting work to Damon while holding a schedule. After finishing the work report, he began discussing Hazel’s recent actions, which were tasks that Damon had assig

    In the evening, Hazel was refining the company’s development plan for the next year when Damon’s call came in.She didn’t even have to guess—it was probably about Delilah. Without hesitation, she turned off her phone. Out of sight, out of mind.Less than half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. By this time, the office staff had all gone home, so Hazel assumed it was her assistant, Eddie, coming to see her. She instructed them to come in.To her surprise, it wasn’t Eddie who entered, but Damon. Since she didn’t take his call, he decided to show up in person. How interesting.“What are you doing here?” she asked.“Who else did you expect? Your boyfriend?”Damon had intended to have a calm conversation with Hazel, but her sharp words immediately provoked him. His patience was quickly worn thin.“I’m here to ask about the incident online. Don’t worry, I’m not here to make accusations, I just want to understand what happened. If

    On the way home, Hazel watched the video Eddie had retrieved from the coffee shop. The footage clearly showed Delilah waiting by the window early in the morning, her every move visible even to the reporters outside.If anyone claimed this wasn’t premeditated, Hazel wouldn’t believe it. If she could get hold of the chat records between Delilah and those reporters, it would be perfect.But honestly, Delilah’s petty tricks weren’t worth such an effort. This video alone was enough to ruin her completely.As the online discussion about Hazel and Delilah reached its peak, the coffee shop video and chat records of Delilah inviting Hazel to meet were leaked.Along with that came audio recordings from their meeting, perfectly synchronized with the video.No one would have guessed that behind Delilah’s pitiful facade in the footage, her words could be so despicable.It wasn’t just about shattering people’s sense of morali

    The next day, a little after 11 a.m., Eddie stood at the arrival gate holding a large, garish sign. Hazel, wearing sunglasses and a mask, stood beside him, her face completely concealed.After all, Eddie’s sign was the epitome of humiliation. It screamed, 'Welcome Home, Lord Xander and Lady Sully, Rulers of the Kingdom of Awesome!' in glittery neon pink, complete with a couple of misspelled words and stick figures holding hands under a lopsided rainbow. To top it off, Eddie had drawn a crown on Xander’s head and a tiara on Sully’s—with an unfortunate resemblance to a UFO.The sign was so colorful and childish it looked like something out of a kindergarten art project.Its visibility was unparalleled. Xander and Sully spotted it from afar as soon as they exited. They also saw Hazel, who was trying to act invisible beside it.Eddie spotted them too and excitedly dragged Hazel toward them.“Boss, hurry up! They’re here, but they’re wa

    Protected behind Xander, Hazel remained untouchable. But with the media pressing in and the crowd growing larger, it became clear they couldn’t reach the banquet hall at this rate. Realizing this, Hazel pulled Xander’s hand down, stepping forward into full view of the reporters. They hesitated momentarily under her piercing gaze but continued pressing with questions. “Ms. Queen, did you attend Mr. Price and Miss Hasani’s wedding because Miss Hasani invited you personally?” Although the Price family had spent a fortune to suppress the earlier scandal, it had spread widely among the elite. The reporter’s question caught the attention of nearby guests, their curiosity piqued. Realizing their slip-up, the reporter quickly shut their mouth, retreating slightly. Mentioning such a scandal at Damon’s wedding was a sure way to court disaster. “Were you taught to ask these pointless questions, or are you just naturally curious about trivial matters? I’m a single woman

    Damon hesitated, glancing between the retreating Hazel and Delilah, who looked frail and pitiful beside him. In the end, he relented and supported Delilah as they turned back toward the banquet hall. “Damon, was that Hazel at the door just now?” Mark’s eyesight no longer sharp, had caught a glimpse of Hazel from afar but wasn’t entirely certain. Upon seeing Damon nod in confirmation, the old man frowned deeply. “If Hazel was here, why didn’t you invite her in?” Delilah, seated beside the patriarch, kept her head down, clutching her belly as if shielding herself. She dared not look up, knowing full well that Grandpa’s fondness for Hazel far surpassed his regard for anyone else in the family. “There weren’t enough seats prepared since we didn’t know she’d bring someone with her.” In truth, seating arrangements had been handled by Agatha, but the suggestion to reserve a seat for Hazel had come from Delilah. No one had expected Hazel to show up at Damon’s w

    "Hazel, is this the family that's been taking over your property and villa?" Sully looked at Bailey with disgust, as if seeing trash. Jonah, worried that his daughter might get hit again, quickly stepped in front of Bailey. "Hazel, who is this woman? Does the Queen Corp just let anyone waltz into public spaces like this?" Everyone knew that Jonah’s family had been occupying Hazel's property, but no one had ever dared to say it to their face like Sully just did. "You must be the biggest leech in the Queens, Jonah Queen, right? Sorry, but from today onwards, I'm going to be President Queen’s personal assistant. If you need anything, you can deal with me. President Queen is busy and doesn't have time to mess with small fry like you, but I’m not busy. I can entertain you all day." Sully spoke with a sweet smile, making threats that left Jonah and Bailey stunned, unable to respond for a while. After all, Sully wasn’t just dressing up today. Her sharp suit ma

    At the Price family’s old residence, Delilah sat at the dining table, staring bitterly at the bitter medicine in front of her."You can’t drink the medicine in small sips like that. It won’t go down. Just hold your breath and swallow it all at once. Afterward, eat a dried fruit, and it’ll be much easier."The medicine was a tonic prescribed by the Herbalist to improve her health. Agatha only cared about getting Delilah’s body back to full health so that she could give the Price family a healthy baby.It had been three or four months, and Delilah’s stomach was starting to show. Fortunately, this pregnancy seemed to be stable, and Agatha could finally relax.Delilah took a deep breath, furrowing her brow as she swallowed the rest of the medicine in one go, then quickly stuffed a dried fruit in her mouth, finally relaxing her expression."Enough with all these tonics. In my opinion, it’s better to eat more nutritious food instead." Jamal grumbled as h

    Delilah was stunned by the scene before her. She wanted to urge Damon not to go, but the words were stuck in her throat, unable to come out. Just as the others were about to leave, Delilah suddenly collapsed onto the floor, holding her stomach. "My stomach! Damon, it hurts so much!" Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to her. Damon rushed to her side in a single stride, helping her sit on the sofa, while Jamal quickly called for the family doctor. The check-up took half an hour, but the family doctor’s expression didn’t ease; it grew more solemn instead. “I don’t see any immediate problems, and her condition is actually better than a few days ago. However, if Miss Hasani’s stomach is still in severe pain, we should take her to the hospital for a thorough examination.” As the doctor spoke, Damon caught Delilah glancing at him. He immediately realized what was going on. He was no longer as anxious as before, instead, he calmly looked at his father

    “Sully, how can you not understand something so simple? Chrissy clearly doesn’t want to talk about it. Don’t keep pushing her,” Hazel said, unable to watch any longer, offering a few words of advice.Sully was still a bit confused, scratching the back of her head. “Huh? There’s no one in this house who isn’t closer to her than us. Why would she be embarrassed to talk?”“People need their own space,” Hazel replied. “Some things, she’ll talk about when she’s ready.”With that, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.This was the first time the Price residence had felt so lively since Agatha and Jamal left.Grandpa Mark wasn’t fond of noise, but when it was just him and Damon, he found it boring.Now, with so many young people around, it felt quite interesting.Later that evening, Damon knocked on Chrissy's door, holding a cup of warm milk.

    “I told you this isn’t the right way to do it. Sully told me we should wait for them to come to us.” Chrissy, although new to the job, had always handled communications with Sully, so even though she was a newcomer, she wasn’t afraid to argue with Carlos.However, Carlos was stubborn when it came to work. If something wasn’t right, he wouldn’t budge.Before coming here, Carlos had made it clear to Damon that if his opinions didn’t matter, he wouldn’t come.Damon had promised Carlos that once he came to Queen Corp, he would be in full charge of the company’s operations. This part was true—after arriving at Queen Corp, everyone there followed his lead, except for one unexpected complication—Chrissy.Chrissy had no experience in managing a company and constantly went against him.If Carlos told her not to do something, she would do it anyway, and when she made a mistake, she acted like she couldn’t care less.Carlos, usually a refined gentleman

    For some reason, Hazel couldn’t shake the feeling that Harold wouldn’t harm her. Despite their two previous encounters, where she had ended up tied up both times, there was something almost magnetic about him.It was as if there were a kind of magic surrounding him—magic that made her feel safe.At least so far, every time she had met Harold, she had always returned unharmed.This car accident was the only exception, but the people behind it didn’t seem to want her dead. If they did, she definitely wouldn’t have woken up so quickly."No matter what you decide to do, make sure to think it through carefully. Let Damon investigate first," Mark advised.Hazel nodded and gave a small laugh. "Thinking back, it's actually quite amusing. The once mighty Damon now seems more like my assistant."Her words made Mark laugh as well. "Assistant’ is a rather flattering term. It’s more like he’s become a servant."Th

    Hazel's injuries from the car accident weren’t light. If an ordinary person had been in her place, they’d probably need ten to fifteen days of rest. But Hazel had the Shadow Vial X in her system, so she had recovered to a great extent in just one week."Didn’t expect the Shadow Vial X to be this powerful. No wonder so many people are trying to get their hands on it," Damon couldn’t help but comment, despite his vast experience.Achieving immortality seems impossible with the current state of science, but things like the Shadow Vial X, which can enhance the body's functions and push human limits, are precisely what draw so many to covet it."Though you're better now, it's best you don’t go out just yet," Elias calmly pointed out, and everyone agreed.No matter who caused the accident, it was most likely aimed at the Shadow Vial X. If news got out that Hazel was recovering so quickly, it would only make people even more f

    HX’s headquarters was in D country, so it was perfectly normal for Xander to return there for work.However, Harold’s people must know that Xander was involved in this matter. It wouldn’t be easy to keep it from him entirely."We still need to be cautious. Harold is not as simple as we think," Damon said, his worry clear, though he didn’t have a better solution.Sully had been silent, her head lowered. She knew everything about the incident between Hazel and Harold from the very beginning.She always felt that Harold didn’t seem to have bad intentions toward Hazel. If he truly wanted to know if the Shadow Vial X was on Hazel, he wouldn’t have used such a reckless approach. After all, if something went wrong, Hazel could really lose her life.Harold only had Hazel as a lead; he wouldn’t so easily abandon this clue."Have you considered that what happened to Hazel this time might not have been done by Harold?" Sully suddenly spoke up.

    "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. Plus, she’s quite capable," Xander said."It’s better for her to take care of Hazel while we handle the situation."Damon nodded, not planning to have Sully leave with Xander. As for Omar, there were no secrets about him, and he was a good fit to stay in the hospital for treatment.Fortunately, there were doctors loyal to the Price family in this hos

    Damon didn’t believe this was a simple accident; it had to be related to Harold. Originally, he had planned to investigate the matter involving his granduncle later, but now, the urgency of finding answers had increased.Damon sat in the ambulance with Hazel, heading to the hospital while Kin stayed behind to handle things at the scene.Once everyone was rescued, the police took their statements, and the area was quickly cleared. The bloodstains were washed away with water, and aside from a few spots that hadn’t dried, the horrific scene seemed as though it had never happened.Before the results of Hazel and Omar’s surgeries were available, Damon couldn’t bring himself to inform the old master.Ever since the events with Agatha and Jamal, the old master’s health had been deteriorating. The doctors had insisted he needed to rest.The old master had already worried himself sick over the situation with Hazel’s paren

    “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’

    Damon, who read quickly, skimmed through the entire file before passing the laptop to his grandfather."So, it turns out everything Harold told me last time was true. 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
