2025-03-17 12:22:45Hazel hadn't replied yet when Damon's message popped up first:
[At a time like this, who cares about the voting meeting? You can’t even guarantee your safety, and you're still worried about work? Unbelievable.]Hazel smirked. Damon wasn’t even trying to hide his disdain for Xander.
[I’ll talk to him about it first thing in the morning,] she replied. [Might as well use the opportunity to test how he feels about us leaving.]
[Fine. If we can leave, we’ll go; if not, I’ll just hold the meeting online.] Xander responded, clearly more focused on practicality.
Damon frowned, his brows practically tied in a knot. He couldn’t fathom how these two could still discuss work while their lives were hanging by a thread.
[Alright, enough. Go to bed. We need to get up early tomorrow,] he said, breaki

Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours The Deal
Harold pressed his lips together and said, “We just met, so you might not know me that well yet. I’m a straightforward guy, not one for beating around the bush or making empty promises.” “Since I said I wanted to talk to you alone, I meant it. It’s about Hazel.” Damon’s expression turned serious. He suddenly remembered that this man was supposed to be Hazel’s grandfather. No matter how things stood between them, some respect was still due. After all, he wasn’t sure how his relationship with Hazel might develop in the future. If it turned out everything before was just a misunderstanding, there might come a time when they’d have to reconcile. If he burned bridges with Harold now, it’d just create another obstacle between him and Hazel later on. Straightening his posture, he looked Harold directly in the eye. “About Hazel? What about her?” “I know you were married to her before, and I know you hurt her. I also know you’re trying to win her bac

Harold wasn’t fooled. He had done his homework. Damon’s obsession with Hazel ran deep—he’d done far too much for her already.This offer would definitely tempt him.If not for the threat posed by Xander, Damon wouldn’t have followed Hazel all the way to Country D.Initially, Harold had planned to approach Xander for this deal. But the moment he realized Damon was here too, he shifted his focus.Compared to Xander, Damon had a more daring, all-or-nothing attitude.And when it came to business acumen, Damon was undoubtedly the better partner.“Hazel’s parents were actually researchers for an organization—key researchers, in fact,” Harold began, his tone low and deliberate. “They developed a drug capable of enhancing all human bodily functions. But here’s the catch—it requires the umbilical cord blood of a newborn as the catalyst.”“I’ve spent my entire life pursuing the key to immortality. Ever since I handed over my research to Hazel’s

“To be honest,” Hazel began after a moment of thought, “I do have some early memories of living with him when I was little. Back then, I remember feeling happy. But now... I don’t get that feeling from him at all.”Not only was there no sense of happiness, but Hazel also found herself increasingly uneasy in Harold’s presence.Whenever his gaze lingered on her, she felt an inexplicable discomfort, like her entire body was on edge.But even with this knowledge, it was impossible to confirm whether Harold was really Hazel's grandfather."Even if he’s not my grandfather, his connection to my mother must be significant. What should we do now? Damon is still with him, and I’m not sure if he’s holding onto him to lure us back or for some other reason.""But keeping us around—what does he even gain from that?"Hazel couldn’t figure it out. She only knew that Harold wanted something from her, something her parents had left behind. But as for what it

After saying that, Hazel quickly rushed out of the room without daring to look back at Damon’s expression. Damon, still standing in the room, froze for a moment. After realizing that Hazel had been shy, he immediately got excited and jumped onto the bed. If someone like Hazel, with her personality, was shy in front of him, that meant he had a chance! So, it seemed that Hazel liked this kind of interaction. He figured that he’d have to create more opportunities for physical contact in the future. With this thought in mind, Damon began to plan his next move for creating physical contact with Hazel. Xander arrived at the airport, expecting that Harold would have someone follow him. To his surprise, he boarded the plane without any trouble. Of course, he wasn’t so arrogant as to think Harold wouldn’t foresee this, but he simply believed that Harold didn’t see him as a threat. Once back in the country, Xander immediately contacted the Price and C

Once Damon finally wins Hazel over, he plans to find a similar estate where they can live together, just the two of them. “I didn’t realize it. So, these past few days, you’ve been observing all of this? I thought you were just bored,” he remarked. “However, we haven’t seen Harold these last couple of days. It seems like he left the day after he parted ways with Xander. If it weren’t for Xander constantly sending me messages, I would’ve thought he went after Xander,” Hazel replied. Since Xander returned to the country, he had been sending them messages, but Hazel and Damon were worried that their phones might be monitored, so they hadn’t responded to him. “Someone in his position should have a lot of things to do, right? Even though we don’t know what he’s busy with, we can use this time to test the estate’s security. It’d be great if we can escape, but if not, it’s no big deal,” Damon said, realizing something. “True, after all, he still needs somethin

"I've been so worried these past couple of days! Ever since Xander told me, I've been anxious and couldn't sleep well. I even sent you messages, but you didn’t reply! Thankfully, you're finally back!" Sully was so emotional that she nearly burst into tears. She had originally planned to go on a business trip today, but after hearing from Xander that Hazel was returning, she canceled everything and rushed over. Hazel gently patted Sully on the back. "Alright, alright, nothing happened in the end. But the matter’s still not resolved, and we’ll need your help." After comforting Sully, the group sat down together and began discussing the recent investigations and what Harold really wanted. Omar brought out everything he had recently gathered, which was all information about Harold. Mark also took out a stack of documents, all related to the organization and the past history of Hazel’s parents. Once they had gone through both sets of documents, everything st

“Mom, I’ve already told you, I’m only marrying Hazel in this life. If you really care about me and don’t want me to live out my days alone, then you’d better treat Hazel well,”After saying this, Damon turned and went straight back to his room.Agatha’s face darkened, her eyes following Damon’s retreating figure, her expression turning malicious.Not only did she not want to see Damon live a lonely life, but she also wanted to hold her grandson as soon as possible. The thought of Delilah’s child saddened her deeply.Since her son and Hazel’s relationship was developing so quickly, it seemed like it was time to check if Hazel could have children.If she truly couldn’t bear children, then Agatha would never allow her to enter the family, no matter what.The recent events involving Hazel hadn’t escaped the notice of Jonah’s family, either....Adele had been k

Compared to Bailey, whom she managed, Agent Amber naturally admired Ariana more, as she was someone who genuinely pursued her craft. Ariana lacked the calculated ambition that many others had, making her more pleasant and relatable, with a better connection to the audience. As Agent Amber continued talking, her gaze shifted back to Bailey, and she sighed, "If only Bailey had half of Ariana’s dedication, she wouldn't have ended up as the second female lead." The artists Amber had previously managed might not have started with leading roles, but after transitioning through a few supporting roles, they had consistently remained at the forefront of the screen. Even if they weren’t the female lead, they were often standout supporting characters, sometimes even outshining the female lead. Unlike Bailey, who had participated in numerous variety shows and even self-funded her own micro-drama where she played the female lead, it was only thanks to Agent Amber's personal e

“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.

“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
