Actually, after seeing Damon and Hazel talking upstairs for such a long time, Mark had already guessed what they were discussing. He didn’t believe that there was anything other than Hazel’s parents’ matters that could have kept Damon upstairs for so long.

“Grandpa Mark, could you tell me about your younger years?”

Hazel leaned in close to Mark, still playing the naive and innocent role. Mark couldn't help but think how this girl, who seemed so unaware, could possibly be the same person who had used so many tactics to secure her position as the CEO of Queen Corp.

Grandpa Mark slowly took a sip of tea, then smiled as he looked at Hazel.

“When I was young, a lot happened. What exactly do you want to know?”

Hazel, understanding Mark’s demeanor, knew that he likely understood everything already.

“I want to know everything, but if you could tell me about the overseas organization and those events, I think I’d be even more interested.”

Mark chuckled at H

    Sully gleefully watched Jonah’s pained expression, her heart secretly elated. However, there were too many people present, so she couldn’t express her satisfaction too openly. If they found out that this was all orchestrated by Hazel, it might cause more trouble for her. “President Queen, we came here together because of Jonah. You can’t just let him leave like this!” The shareholder said, his voice full of righteous indignation as he walked up to Hazel’s desk. “I’m sure you’ve heard about it. Not long ago, Jonah sold off shares of Queen Corp at a low price. Recently, several of the company’s pre-arranged partnerships fell through, and I had people investigate—it’s all because of this!” Behind him, several other shareholders who were usually on good terms with him followed. They seemed to be avoiding coming to the company alone, always arriving in groups for what seemed like small matters. Indeed, if the company’s decision-makers were all elderly, it would b

    After instructing her assistant to escort everyone out and settle them down, Hazel finally approached Sully, gently massaging her shoulders. “Alright, I know you’re upset on my behalf, but trust me—I have a better way to deal with him.” “In the upcoming board meeting, the shareholders are bound to treat Jonah far worse than I ever could. After all, this mess impacts their profits directly.” Just as Hazel predicted, the board meeting turned into a scolding session for Jonah. Even those board members who had previously been on good terms with him sided with Hazel this time. Most of them didn’t care much about the company’s internal drama; they only knew their own interests had been jeopardized by Jonah’s actions. At first, Jonah tried to argue back, but the more he spoke, the weaker his responses became. By the end, he was left speechless and could only pin his hopes on Hazel. “Hazel, you know the situation our family is in. I’ve already stepped down

    In the elevator, Sully shot Xander a frustrated look and smacked his shoulder hard.“I gave you such a golden opportunity back there! Why didn’t you confess? I’m telling you, if Damon swoops in and takes her back, you won’t even have a place to cry.”Sully’s disdain for Damon was no secret. She wished she could confess to Hazel on Xander’s behalf and pair them up already, leaving Damon no room to interfere.However, she hadn’t thought through what would happen if Hazel rejected Xander—how the two of them would manage afterward.“Feelings can’t be forced. I’m not even sure if Hazel has feelings for me. I think I’ll wait and observe a bit more,” Xander replied.The elevator doors opened just as he finished speaking. Xander stepped out with a stoic expression, and Sully followed behind, still nagging him nonstop....Meanwhile, Bailey’s new mini-drama had just been released.

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Discussion With Elders

    Damon’s advice was clear, but the financial approach toward Jonah’s family was far from enough. No matter what, Jonah understood that he was part of the Queen family and naturally held onto some shares of the corporation. He was also more aware than the other shareholders of the ties between Hazel and the Price and Cohen families, knowing these families wouldn’t let things slide. Because of this, the shares in his hands would not be sold under any circumstances. But if Hazel followed Damon’s plan, it might prompt other shareholders to sell their shares as well. The problem was, she no longer had enough liquid funds to buy back those large shares. If those shares flooded the market, it wouldn’t be good for Queen Corp. It was better for the current shareholders to hold onto their shares for now. Sully walked over with some documents and handed them to Hazel. “Hazel, this needs your signature.” Noticing that Hazel wasn’t reacting, Sully waved the documents

    Hazel thought carefully. It made sense. If, at this critical moment, she suddenly had a falling out with both the Cohen and Prices, that would indeed seem suspicious. After all, Jonah wasn't exactly a fool. "That’s true. You can have conflicts with Damon, since you two already have a special relationship. But the more critical this moment is, the less you should have any issues with Omar." Grandpa Mark also agreed and quickly suggested a practical solution. "How about this: You start with a public argument with Damon. He then makes a strong statement online, saying that he won't invest in your company. After that, arrange for a journalist to ask Grandpa Omar about the situation. Grandpa Omar should first express that he won't be investing in Queen Corp either, but then reassure everyone that he still really likes you, his granddaughter." This way, it wouldn't seem out of place at all. Hazel nodded, agreeing with the plan, and then contacted Damon to discuss

    Mr. Will turned to look at Adele seriously. "Are you telling the truth?" As soon as Adele heard Mr. Will's question, she knew this deal could go through. She patted the table lightly and then placed her hand on Mr. Will's shoulder. "Jonah is Hazel's uncle, and I’m her aunt. Although we've had our disagreements, blood ties are not something you can sever just like that." Seeing his wife touching Mr. Will, Jonah’s smile immediately faded. He stood up, moved to the other side of Mr. Will, and slapped Adele's hand away, then put his arm around Mr. Will's shoulder. "Even if Hazel and I aren't close, we do have people around us who are close to her. If you don’t believe it, feel free to investigate their relationship." As Jonah spoke, he shot a look at Adele, who immediately understood. Although she felt uncomfortable, not wanting to escalate the situation, she moved away from Mr. Will.

    "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. Xander suddenly snapped the book shut, grabbe

    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. Chrissy walked over to Carlos and nudged him with her shoulder. "I didn’t know you knew Damon so well. I heard you'

    "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. Hazel needed to ensure her friends’ safety first.The woman behind her stared fiercely at Hazel’s retreating figure, her hands clenched into fists, trembling with rage.Hazel Queen, huh? Next time we meet, I’ll make sure to knock you down!Sully and Chrissy were standing at the venue entrance, each holding a cold drink. When they saw Hazel coming out, Chrissy excitedly waved at her.“This way, come over, this is for you.”Hazel grabbed the cold drink and saw Chrissy nudge Sully with her shoulder. “See?

    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

    ***Hearing Hazel's words, Sully let out a sigh of relief. However, when she saw the coach's bruised face in the ring, she couldn't help but gasp."This is what you meant by 'didn’t hurt anyone'? I can barely recognize the coach anymore."Hazel pursed her lips. "He wouldn’t accept it and insisted on continuing to fight me. I wasn’t planning on making him look like that."Sully sighed. This wasn't the first coach who had refused to acknowledge Hazel's skills.Every coach who met Hazel for the first time would often look down on her because of her slender build, and losing to someone like her could be a blow to their pride.So, in their attempt to regain their dignity, they ended up getting thoroughly beaten by Hazel.Seeing the coach in this state, and hearing the conversation between Hazel and Sully, Chrissy finally understood Hazel's abilities.So Sully wasn’t being modest when she called her a master.
