Seeing Xander was also present, Hazel steadied her emotions. "Nothing much, just ran into some uncomfortable situations while having dinner, so I came back early. What are you two discussing?"

Noticing that Hazel didn’t want to bring up what had just happened, Xander quickly shifted the topic, concerned that Sully would continue asking.

"We’re about to launch our brand, so we’re thinking about finding a spokesperson. We still haven’t decided who to choose."

They were in the clothing business, both men’s and women’s wear, but their focus was primarily on women’s clothing, so the spokesperson would be a woman.

They were also looking to hire two or three celebrities for advertisements, both male and female.

It was still in the planning stages, but they could delay the advertising a bit. The spokesperson, however, couldn’t be delayed much longer, since there was quite a bit of preparation involved for the spokesperson's role.

    However, after hearing what the manager had just said, Hazel began to feel that she shouldn’t approach Adam first. Instead, she should check with Ariana to see what she thought.Considering Ariana’s personality, even if Adam agreed, Ariana might not.“Mr. Fleur, you’re here. Please sit down. Let me know what you’d like to eat. I haven’t ordered yet.”Hazel placed the pre-prepared menu in front of Adam.After this incident, she finally understood what Omar had meant when he said it wasn’t a bad idea to know more people.At least now, when she reached out to these people, it didn’t feel awkward. They had already met before and had some prior contact.The waiter came in after them, and after Adam ordered two dishes, he handed the menu back to Hazel. Hazel added two more dishes, then signaled the waiter to leave.“Is there something you needed to say at this hour, Mr. Queen? Something urgent?”Adam let out a light snort, feeling a

    "How about this," said Adam, "I'll help you this time, and in the future, if I need anything for work, you'll be the first one I call." Hazel froze for a moment. Adam was referring to work-related matters, which on the surface seemed harmless, but something about his words made her uneasy. Maybe it was the fact that he hadn’t explicitly mentioned what kind of help he would need, which left her feeling a bit anxious. "Don’t worry, it won’t negatively affect your company. We’re just making a verbal agreement. If it ever goes against your principles, you can always refuse," he added with a reassuring smile. Hazel relaxed, the tension in her chest finally easing. She was a person of integrity, and the thought of breaking her word never crossed her mind. Only after Adam pointed it out did she realize the possibility of not following through on an agreement, though she had never considered it before. "Since you've said that, I have no further concerns. If there's ever

    "With all this, you didn’t buy your own portion beforehand, did you? Still not afraid I might not let you in?" If she had known her room would be this messy, perhaps Hazel wouldn't have let Damon in. "Well, I'm just here to win you over and ask for your forgiveness. Nothing wasted," Damon replied, placing some food into Hazel's plate—the same foods she loved before their divorce. As he remembered, he couldn't help but feel guilty. Hazel had often reminded him to bring her food, but he always forgot. Sometimes, he'd remember halfway, but didn't want to bother, so he'd just tell her at home that he forgot and let the housekeeper make something instead. Just thinking about the look she gave him back then made him feel ashamed. "By the way, what happened when you were taken to that person's place the other night? What did you two talk about? I know you’re trying to avoid telling me, but I've done some digging, and I think some things could be useful for you." Si

    "Sorry, I was just lost in thought. What did you say?" Hazel had moved quite a distance away, yet Damon still felt a tingling sensation on his chin. Even when Hazel spoke to him, he was slow to respond. "Oh, I was asking if the thing that person mentioned could be something your parents left behind in the secret room." Damon had visited Hazel's family secret room before and had a general idea of what was inside, though they hadn’t thoroughly checked if there were any other items hidden there. "If we could figure out what your parents left, it would give us some leverage. Then, we wouldn’t be at the mercy of others," he continued. The Price family’s connection to this person wasn’t significant yet, but Hazel’s safety was still an unknown. If those people were behind her parents' accident, then Hazel was likely in danger as well. Perhaps they were holding back from harming her because they couldn’t find what they were looking for. "I’ll go back and search. Thi

    When Hazel arrived as agreed, Amber had already been waiting at a window-side table. Since they weren't discussing anything secret, Amber had purposely chosen an open hall, selecting the window seat to ensure a spacious environment where their conversation wouldn’t become awkward. Before Hazel could sit down, the waiter arrived with the dishes Amber had already ordered. In no time, the food began to arrive—everything was dishes that Hazel loved. At first, Hazel thought Amber might be trying to assert some kind of dominance by ordering all the dishes, but it turned out they were all her favorites. However, upon further thought, Hazel realized that this wasn’t necessarily a kind gesture. Given that she and Amber were on opposing sides, it wasn’t a good thing to have her rival know so much about her preferences. "It seems like Agent Amber knows me quite well. I haven’t even arrived yet, and all the dishes are my favorites," Hazel remarked with a smile, noticing

    "That’s a real shame. I owe Adele a favor, so it looks like a partnership between us will never come to be," Amber replied, her voice calm but tinged with disappointment. The two continued eating, talking about work and life, sharing a mix of trivial and significant stories, but never once touching on the business collaboration that had been the focal point of their meeting. As the meal came to a close, and with the table nearly cleared, they continued chatting for a while longer. It wasn’t until Hazel had finished her meal that she stood up to leave. Just as she got into the car, Omar’s call came through. "Hazel, I’ve unlocked a new video from the hard drive. Do you have time? Come back to the villa, I’ll show it to you." Previously, Omar had always sent Hazel the videos directly, but this time, he asked her to come over to see it, which suggested that this new content was far more complicated than the last. "Alright, I’m free right now. I’ll mee

    When Omar had been at his peak in the organization, he had been a mid-level manager. While he had come up with several successful management strategies and ways to help the organization secure more funding, he had never been privy to the full scope of the group’s secrets. At the time, Omar had suggested a method for the organization to help capable individuals start their businesses. Once their ventures succeeded, they were required to contribute research funds to the organization. That’s how the Price family enterprise came to be, and as it turned out, this strategy worked well. After all, Price Corp still allocated a substantial sum every year to the organization. If the Queen family were still under Jacob’s leadership, they too would be contributing a large research fund to the organization every year. Research, especially in pharmaceuticals, is costly. Without ways to raise funds, the organization’s projects would be impossible to advance. "I

    Seeing the woman leaning in closer, Damon quickly turned and walked to the sofa beside his grandfather."What’s going on? Who is she? Why is everyone looking at me like this?"The looks from his family, combined with the woman’s face, gave Damon an uneasy feeling.He had just gotten rid of Delilah—was another troublesome person about to show up?"Damon, you really don’t remember me? It’s me, Chrissy Winslow! We used to play together all the time when we were kids, don’t you remember?"Back when the Price family hadn’t moved to Vernon, they lived next door to the Winslow family. Damon and Chrissy were childhood friends, practically growing up together. However, Damon was always more reserved and rarely spoke, so most of the time, it was Chrissy who chased after him."You’re Chrissy? But back then..."Damon’s voice trailed off as he suddenly recalled something—Chrissy had a noticeable birthmark on her face as a child, and her features d

    "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

    “Don’t worry, Hazel. What trouble could your grandpa possibly be in? The only downside is that the information network I relied on is completely burned. Years of hard work, gone! But finding something this significant makes it all worthwhile.”Seeing the proud smile on Omar’s face, Hazel finally felt reassured enough to focus on the materials.The information was incredibly thorough, laying bare everything about Harold, including his entanglements with Novaria and Jacob.As it turned out, Novaria was indeed Harold’s adopted daughter and a key researcher in his laboratory.Later, Novaria fell in love with Jacob, who joined her in the lab.

If Hazel could deliver a heavy blow to Bailey at that event, she’d laugh herself to sleep every night.After parting ways with Amber, Hazel wasted no time contacting Adam to meet.The two families had already crossed paths professionally, so there was no need for secrecy.

After all, Hazel asking him out for coffee didn’t seem like it could lead to anything good.When he cautiously arrived at the café's location, he relaxed slightly upon seeing Hazel sitting by a window in the main hall.

    "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
