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

    Hearing the discussion ahead, Jonah didn’t think much of it at first, but when he heard the comment later, his face immediately changed.However, before coming, Bailey had already given him a mental prep. No matter what these reporters said, he couldn’t get into a conflict with them. Otherwise, the consequences would be severe.The public opinion on the internet was already in the hands of these reporters. If Jonah dared to show them a bad attitude, the next moment, his family's bad reputation would spread everywhere.Previously, when Bailey had Agent Amber by her side, they had to show some respect toAmber whenever these reporters came around.Later, Agent Amber always took leave, and it was unclear where these people had heard the rumors, but they began to say that Agent Amber no longer wanted to be her manager.So now, there wasn’t as much warmth towards her, and any issue could come to her directly.Bailey was also quit

    As soon as those words were said, a nanny car drove up.All the paparazzi rushed over, fearing they might be too late to get an interview with the people inside.They didn’t consider that Bailey deliberately let this news leak so they would come, intending to make a spectacle of today’s event in front of them.How could she possibly let them leave without getting an interview?"Miss Bailey Queen, hello. We heard that Hazel’s parents have returned alive. Is that true?""Did you come today to attend the welcome ceremony for Hazel's parents?""If Jacob Queen has returned, is there a chance your family might return to the Queen Corp?"The reporters kept throwing their questions at her. In the car with Bailey were Jonah and Adele, both of whom had come today.Recently, Amber had frequently taken leave due to not feeling well. Adele could tell it wasn’t really because of illness—she simply

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Welcome Ceremony

    When the driver brought Mark back, the darkness in Bernard’s eyes faded a little. It was like a young boy eagerly waiting for his older brother to return with some treats, his eyes sparkling with excitement."Mark? Didn’t you leave with them? Why are you back alone?"Bernard, leaning on his cane, walked up to the car. Seeing Mark get out alone, he nearly rushed to hug him. If not for the presence of the driver and butler, he would have done just that."I noticed your mood hasn’t been great these past few days, so I came back to stay with you for a few more days. By the way, we have two guests coming later. Have the staff prepare some dishes.""Guests? What’s the occasion? What kind of meal should we prepare?"In front of Mark, Bernard was like a well-behaved little brother.At first, the servants in the villa district were a bit uncomfortable, but as Mark had been living there for a while now, they had grown used to it."Just make som

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Unforgivable

    After coming to terms with things, Damon’s mood improved, and he followed Hazel around the estate, regaining his previous energy. He hadn’t expected that Hazel’s comfort earlier was actually her way of accepting him.At the tea pavilion, the four of them sat across from each other while the butler brewed tea beside them."Mark, this tea is the finest Darjeeling I could procure, and our butler’s brewing skills are unparalleled. Allow me the honor of treating you properly today." Harold gestured to the delicate porcelain teapot, an heirloom passed down through generations.Facing someone like Mark, who loved tea, Harold’s expression couldn’t hide his desire to share his finest tea and let Mark appreciate it."Just the fragrance tells me how good this tea is. It seems like you truly value me. Thank you so much for your hospitality today."Today, Mark had another purpo

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   The Attitude He Deserves

    It was clear that Novaria and her husband had some issues with his grandson, so Mark quickly spoke up to defend him. However, when it came to the matter of their daughter being wronged, it was evident that Novaria and her husband weren’t ready to forgive Damon just like that. They didn’t respond to Mark’s words, instead helping him into the house and changing the topic. The younger generation followed behind, with Xander and Sully secretly watching Damon’s embarrassment. Damon, looking pitiful, kept glancing at Hazel, hoping she would help him. If he couldn’t win over his mother-in-law, his chances of marrying her daughter would be impossible. But he forgot, not only had he failed to win over his mother-in-law, but he hadn’t even won Hazel’s affection yet. Hazel only gave him a faint glance before obediently following her parents into the house. She didn’t even spare him an extra look, so naturally, she didn’t notice the helplessness in Damo

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Meeting the Future In-Laws

    "We’re having a big family reunion now, it’s so wonderful. Of course, you’ll have to live a bit longer," Hazel said with a wide smile.She had never been so happy as she was now. She couldn’t help but wonder how Omar, who was recovering in the country, was doing.Now that everything here was settled, it was time to return and take care of some messes back home.Hazel had planned to return earlier, but since Novaria and the others still had some things to handle, they decided to stay for another three days and enjoy the time together.Damon and Mark, knowing that Novaria and her husband had returned to Harold's place, specifically took time out of their day to visit.The thought of meeting Hazel’s parents made Damon so nervous that he didn’t know what to do. It was Mark who suggested he first go buy gifts. Only then did Damon call a few people to go with him to purchase presents.They spent the entire day s

    Damon watched the scene nervously from the side.Bernard had already faced difficulties outside, and now Mark was scolding him.If Bernard took out all his frustration on Mark, the old man’s current state would surely not be able to withstand it.“Why aren’t you quickly changing clothes and taking a shower? Don’t you want to avoid letting the younger generation laugh at you?”Bernard remained silent, his eyes fixed directly on Mark.Damon and the butler stood to the side, always on alert. If anything went wrong, Damon would immediately step in.The situation held in tense silence for a while, and when Mark saw that Bernard didn’t move, he struck him with his cane again.“What are you standing there for? Go on!”Finally, Bernard responded. He smiled and, like a child, stepped forward and snatched Mark’s cane away.“I’m already this old, and you’re still hitting me. That’s really embarrassing. I’m going to wash up now, so

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Brotherhood

    From a distance, Mark spotted the familiar house.He never expected that, in such a luxurious villa area, there would still be a house just like the one they used to have in their small town.“Grandpa, we’ve arrived.”The car stopped in front of one of the villas, and as soon as it halted, someone came out of the house.It was the butler, helping Bernard, who was leaning on a cane. For some reason, when Damon saw Bernard this time, he no longer felt the same overwhelming, arrogant presence from the other day.Instead, there was a hint of anxiety, as if Bernard feared something yet longed to see his older brother.Hearing the sound, Mark, who had just gotten out of the car, turned his gaze toward the villa entrance.Both brothers’ hair had turned gray, their deep-set eyes locked onto each other, and in their gazes, they saw a sense of release.At their age, continuing to hold onto grudges seemed meaningless.“

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Mark's Arrival

    Hazel gradually calmed down, thanks to Damon’s persuasion. Her eyes were still fixed on Harold, the crimson in her gaze not yet fully faded. “Then tell me, what exactly did you discuss with my parents? What should we do now to successfully rescue them?”Seeing that Hazel had calmed down, Harold finally began to explain their plan in detail.In fact, he had only recently learned that Hazel’s parents were still alive. When Hazel was captured, Harold’s first thought was about her parents.Just as he was about to call Novaria, Novaria called him at the same time, discussing Hazel’s capture.It turned out that Novaria and the others had always kept someone around Hazel for protection. However, the person they sent this time was no match for Bernard, so they could only track Hazel and eventually discovered the mastermind behind her capture, which they then reported to Novaria.Once Novaria learned it was related to Country D, he immediately thought
