Grandpa's Affection
Huling Na-update:
2025-01-05 19:52:44As soon as Hazel entered, Delilah approached with a wide smile, linking arms with Damon. She spoke sweetly, "Hazel, I couldn’t greet you at the door because of my condition. I hope you don’t mind. But I sent Damon to welcome you instead."
Damon took a deep breath, holding back his annoyance, resisting the urge to shake off Delilah’s hand.
Noticing Hazel’s expression, Grandpa Mark worried she might feel uncomfortable and was about to ask Agatha to escort Delilah upstairs. But Hazel spoke up with a polite yet sharp tone.
"Miss Hasani, why say such things? We’re not particularly close to begin with. You not coming to greet me is perfectly normal. If you had rushed out to welcome me, that would have startled me."
The words hit like a sharp blade, and Delilah’s smile froze immediately. She hadn’t expected Hazel to speak so bluntly, especially in front of everyone.
Initially, Delilah thought they’d all maintain a facade of politeness given the p

Within the hour, news had spread: ‘Hazel had gone to the Price residence to apologize, only to be coldly received.’The next day, Queen Corporation held a board meeting. Hazel calmly explained her visit to the Price family and announced that their collaboration on the joint project was officially terminated.The room erupted into chaos, with the directors unable to sit still—especially Jonah, whose face turned ashen at the unexpected announcement."It’s impossible. Mr. Mark Price likes you so much. Even if I’ve made some mistakes, he wouldn't want to destroy Queen Corp or ruin you because of that," someone in the room said, trying to calm the situation.The others clearly shared this sentiment, and their gazes all turned toward Hazel."Have you all not seen the videos and photos online? Or do you still think I have the ability to casually convince Grandpa Mark?" Hazel replied, her voice steady.

Both Hazel and Sully were stunned. They had thought he could hold out for a day or two, but here he was, calling so soon after the meeting had ended. They had really overestimated him. This man wasn’t fit to be in a vice president position at all. Hazel turned the phone over in her hand, making no move to answer it. "You think, if Jonah asks me to demote him, what position would be appropriate for him?" Sully propped her chin and thought for a moment. She initially considered suggesting the janitor's position, but then thought better of it—if word got out, it would make Hazel seem unreasonable. "How about making him a logistics supervisor? It sounds reasonable in terms of reputation, and it's still a position of authority, just in logistics. There wouldn’t be much financial interaction either. If he’s greedy, he wouldn’t have much to take anyway—just buying supplies or something." Hazel nodded in agreement, feeling this was a fitting position for Jonah.

Following Sheila's suggestion, Hazel added some of her own designs to the latest design drawings Sheila had created based on the images. They had agreed to start construction two days later. The day before construction was set to begin, Hazel took Sully to the villa again. The secret room issue still hadn’t been resolved, and Hazel couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. The study was just as it had been before, except it was now covered in a layer of dust from being neglected for a long time. "Hazel, I had some time to think it over later, and I realized that when I fell, I accidentally opened the secret room. We might have focused too much on the wall. The mechanism might not necessarily be on the wall after all." Sully briefly recapped the situation when she had fallen, explaining that she had stumbled and first hit the wall before sliding down to the floor. It was this sequence of events that made her think she had triggered something on the w

Once inside the villa, Hazel led Sheila straight to the secret room. Sheila’s eyes widened when she saw the unexpected room. She couldn’t believe she had missed it during her earlier house inspection. The design of the secret room was incredibly clever.If she had been in charge of the design herself, she might have noticed it, but since she was only working from photos, she had overlooked this data issue.The strange thing was that, based on the measurements she personally took, the room seemed to have only a minor discrepancy, not enough to account for such a large hidden space.Hazel’s mother was truly no ordinary person!"This definitely needs a remeasurement of the data," Sheila said as she measured with her ruler, running back and forth, not forgetting to discuss the room’s potential use with Hazel.To be honest, having such a hidden, private space in a villa wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for the homeowners. Villas typically housed larger fa

At the Price old residence, Damon suddenly remembered that he hadn’t seen his father in a long time as he was heading out that morning, so he asked the Butler. "Uncle Hank, what exactly did Grandpa send my dad to do? It feels like he’s been gone for a long time." Butler Hank calculated the time, "Mr. Jamal has been gone for nearly a month. If I hadn't thought about it, I wouldn’t have realized it’s been this long." "But as for what Mr. Mark sent Mr. Jamal to do, I really don’t know. Young master, you should know this kind of thing. Mr. Mark never lets me in on work matters, and besides, it’s something even you don’t know about." Damon furrowed his brow but didn’t ask further. It seemed he should ask his grandfather about it. If something had happened, he should find a way to help handle things for the family. When he arrived at the company, Damon felt uneasy. Ever since he had thought about his father this morning, something felt off, and the odd feelin
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-08Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours Finding Excuse
Things haven’t been going well at Queen Corp these past few days. Hazel seems to live at the company, working from dawn until dusk, but many issues still haven’t been resolved. Some people are starting to lose patience and have gone to find Jonah, who, in order to avoid them, has been claiming to be sick and staying home instead of going to the office. He hadn’t expected them to still come after him. "Mr. Queen, you seemed fine during the meeting a few days ago. Why are you suddenly sick?" one of them asked. "Yeah, the company’s been facing a lot of issues lately. We’re older and don’t really have positions at the company, so all we can do is worry. You’re the vice president and at a time like this, you take leave? Hazel might not even be able to handle all the company’s problems on her own." Two older shareholders, with relatively high stakes in the company, came directly to Jonah’s home. When they saw him fine and greeting them, their faces darkened. He wa

"I’ve mostly recovered, so I rushed back to the company. If there’s anything I can help with, just let me know. Although I’m not as capable as you, I can still handle some tasks." Just as she was speaking, Sully walked in with some documents. "Oh, I thought it was someone else in the CEO’s office. Turns out it’s Vice President Queen. What a rare guest. Running away from something?" Jonah knew that only Hazel was in the office, so he wasn’t expecting Sully to return so quickly. Whenever he encountered Sully, he found it hard to have a proper conversation. Now, being in such a disadvantaged position, he knew Sully would make some sarcastic remarks. "Assistant Sully, I’m currently discussing important company matters with the CEO. You’re just an assistant, so perhaps you should step out for now and wait until I’m done with President Queen," Jonah said carefully. He knew Sully and Hazel were close, and even though he said these words, he had to be cautious.

Meanwhile, in the president’s office at the top floor of Price Corp, Damon leaned on his hands, frowning as he reviewed the information Kin had uncovered.“So, the company has been regularly transferring significant amounts of money to an overseas account for years. Were you able to find out which company this account belongs to?”Recalling his grandfather’s cryptic remarks, Damon suspected these payments were orchestrated by him. However, his curiosity only grew stronger—what exactly was this organization, and how powerful was it?The less his grandfather wanted to reveal, the more determined he was to uncover the truth, especially since his father’s situation was also deteriorating.The men Damon sent out had only managed to locate a phone at the last known location—a device his grandfather confirmed was the one his father had taken with him.“No, the payments were made under the guise of a partnership.

“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.

“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
