Once Agatha caught her breath, Damon quickly tried to explain.

“Mom, all the kindness you’ve shown Delilah wasn’t wasted. The reason I’m telling you this now is because only you can help me with this.”

“Listen carefully. We need to use Delilah’s trust in you. You have to stay strong—we’re going to avenge Demian, and your role in this is the most crucial.”

Hearing the mention of avenging Demian, Agatha finally stopped crying.

She had lived a life of comfort, with no real hardships. The greatest pain she had ever experienced was losing her son—a white-haired parent burying their black-haired child.

As Demian’s mother, her love for him was unparalleled and unshakable.

“What do you need me to do? Pretend to comfort Delilah and coax her into revealing where the witness’ child is?”

Damon quickly shook his head. “No, just continue treating her as you always have. Don’t let her suspect that we know anything.”

“We rarely visit her as it is. If we sudde

    Feeling the warmth of his hand, Agatha’s restless heart calmed a little. She had spent so much time around Delilah that there was no reason to be overly nervous. All she needed to do was act as she always did. At this stage, it was only natural for her to prioritize the child over Delilah. Any slip-ups on her part would be understandable under the circumstances. “Don’t worry, for Demian’s sake, I’ll handle this perfectly.” When they arrived at the hospital, the act began the moment they got out of the car. Agatha dragged a reluctant Damon into the hospital room, where Delilah was having her afternoon meal. Seeing Damon, Delilah seemed less overjoyed than usual. Instead, a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes. “Damon? Why are you here? Didn’t Mom say you’ve been really busy lately?” Before Damon could answer, Agatha interjected, “I insisted he come. After all the pain you went through to give birth, how could he just ignore you?” She pushed Damon

    Hazel had just secured a piece of land from Omar, and now many people were eyeing the plot, hoping to collaborate with Queen Corp. "Hazel, Xander just sent over some brand logos. Take a look and see which one fits best."Sully walked over to Hazel with a tablet, showing the logos designed by Xander’s team for their collaboration.Hazel glanced through the designs but wasn’t satisfied."Are these the only ones? The first few are too focused on HX Corp’s logo, making it hard to see Queen Corp’s presence. The latter ones overemphasize our characteristics, which doesn’t work either.""Tell Xander to have his designers work overtime. We need a logo that reflects the harmonious blend of our brands. These won’t do."After saying that, Hazel returned to her work. This was a crucial time for Queen Corp’s rise, and after all the effort she had put in, she couldn’t afford to stumble now.Sully glanced at the tablet and then back at Hazel’s

    Hazel realized that she had only mentioned being hungry to Sully while at the company, so it must have been Sully who told Xander. Thinking back to how Sully had acted when she left earlier, Hazel suddenly understood what they were up to. The call was from Eddie, so it was likely that Eddie had learned about Xander’s intentions to confess. "Hazel? What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Hazel furrowed her brows, looking as if she was in discomfort. She suddenly bent forward, clutching her stomach. "I’m feeling a little unwell. Can you take me to the hospital near my place?" She then slid back into the car, her face pale. Though it wasn’t right to lie, this might be the best outcome for them. She knew that there was no possibility between her and Xander, and she didn’t want to lose him as a friend. After the car had driven a little ways, Hazel’s condition seemed to improve, her face regaining some colo

    After some thought, Marco decided to clearly tell Damon what had happened. He only left out a few details, particularly about how he had known in advance that Jonah planned to drug someone. It was just that Damon's eyes were too bloodshot. If he told the whole story, Marco worried that before he even got to the part where he saved Hazel, Damon might pounce and devour him alive. "This is how things went. At first, I had some ulterior motives, but it was also Jonah who convinced me. Later, when I saw Hazel being bullied by Jonah, I couldn’t stand it." "I really can’t understand, as Hazel’s uncle, how could Jonah have done such things?" Every time Marco spoke, Damon’s eyes grew redder, and by the time Marco finished speaking, he was completely silent. "Go. I won’t take any more action against the Lennon family, on the condition that you never show up in front of Hazel again. Otherwise, by the next day, I’ll make sure the Lennon family’s name hits the news.

    Soon, Sully entered. She stood across from Hazel, looking at her with a puzzled expression, as if Hazel was someone she just couldn't understand. "Hazel, you've changed. You weren't like this before. I feel like I don't quite understand you now." Hazel didn’t feel hurt. Instead, she looked back at Sully with a strange look in her eyes. "Sully, it's not that you don't understand me, it's that you don’t understand love." Upon hearing this, Sully was even more confused. She had dated before while abroad, so how could she not understand love? "I know, you're probably thinking that you’ve dated before, but you’ve never truly loved anyone. Love hasn't played a significant role in your life yet." What Hazel said might have been a bit presumptuous, but that was how she felt. Although her previous relationship with Damon had ended poorly, it hadn’t taken away her ability to love. In fact, that failed relationship had taught her how to love someone. She stil

    Marcus had been in the town for so long, and Edith had grown up there. If they could get help from people they knew, things would certainly move much faster. The key was not to attract the attention of those people, so that the child’s safety could be maximized. Fortunately, Kin had already figured out that only two people had taken the child, and they were both staying in a rented house. The two would often take turns going out to buy food. To avoid suspicion from the people around them, they would alternate, staying out for a day at a time before returning, pretending to be working in Marcus’s greenhouse. So, the best time to act would be during the day, when only one person was watching the child, making it easier to take action. "Have you tried contacting Marcus?" "Not yet. I was waiting to discuss it with you first, sir. After this, I’ll have my people take action. One of them has already infiltrated Marcus’s greenhouse, so it will be easier to coo

    Fortunately, Marcus’s child didn’t suffer any major issues. The child had only taken sleeping pills and fell unconscious. After the doctors performed a stomach wash and observed for a while, there were no serious problems. Damon had Kin take Delilah back to his apartment to keep an eye on her while he went to the hospital to check on the child’s condition. Only after confirming the child was fine did he finally breathe a sigh of relief. Marcus walked up to Damon. If Damon hadn’t stopped him, he might have knelt before him. "Mr. Price, thank you so much for saving my child. I never expected that Delilah would harm the child. If I had known she was so malicious, I would never have gotten involved with her, no matter what." After speaking, he realized something was wrong. He had agreed to Delilah’s plan and accepted money to help his wife get treatment. If given a second chance, it seemed he would still make the same choice. "Forget it. Let’s not talk abou

    Damon pushed open the door and saw some decorative items broken at the door, likely from Delilah throwing things in a panic. It was understandable, though, since her dream of becoming a rich wife now rested entirely on that child. She didn’t know the situation with Marcus, and she had no idea what had happened to the child. Delilah must be in a panic. "Damon, I was just too anxious earlier. It was Kin who locked me up for no reason. That's why I got angry and started throwing things. Don't be mad at me." Delilah looked at Damon with pitiful eyes, gambling that he still didn’t know about the things she had done. However, she also knew she didn’t have much of a chance. After all, the fact that Kin was able to lock her up indirectly proved Damon’s involvement in this. But at this moment, pretending was all she could do. She couldn’t rely on ‘that’ person to come and rescue her. Delilah knew well that it was impossible. After Damon entered, he shu

    “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’

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.

    "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.

    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.

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.
