In the corner of the garden, Chrissy pushed Gavin away one last time. When Gavin saw the angry expression on her face, he finally stopped moving closer and instead looked at her with a pitiful gaze.

"Chrissy, I didn’t mean it. I just missed you so much and wanted to hug you. If you don’t want to be close to me anymore, I won’t hug you again. Don’t be mad."

Seeing Gavin like this, Chrissy’s heart softened immediately. The rigid expression on her face softened as well.

"Alright, I’m not angry. Just go inside. We’re staying at Uncle’s house for a few more days anyway. We can go out and buy some gifts later."

Since Gavin had come all the way from abroad and went straight to the Price family after arriving in Vernon, it was fine to buy the gifts later—she could make do with it.

Gavin’s face lit up with a smile. "I knew you’d be the best. Let’s go shopping tomorrow, and we’ll buy some gifts for Uncle and Aunt."

They entered the room together. Chrissy’s

    "I know Chrissy's personality; she's too soft-hearted. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have probably been convinced by Gavin in the end," Damon said, casually playing with his phone. He hadn’t figured out the next steps yet, but one thing was clear: he needed to create a scandalous scene for Chrissy to witness herself. Only then would the evidence be truly convincing. "I still want someone to keep an eye on Gavin. I’ll find a way to contact his girlfriends overseas. Give me two days at most, they’ll all be in Country A by then." As long as he could get Gavin’s girlfriends from abroad to come over, exposing him wouldn’t be a problem. Getting them here was easy enough, after all, the Price family had plenty of money. Once the interests were in place, everything else would fall into place. "Actually, I have another idea. You want me to help you pursue Hazel, right? This is a good opportunity." Carlos grinned wickedly as he looked a

    In the private room, the food was delivered by a conveyor system. Aside from the two of them, no restaurant staff entered the room, ensuring their conversation wouldn’t be interrupted. Anything they needed could be ordered directly from the tablet on the table, and the food would arrive in less than a minute. It was the perfect setup for a more private conversation. Damon frowned, as if there was something serious he couldn’t quite bring himself to say. Hazel didn’t interrupt him, but now she was curious—what could be troubling Damon this much? "Chrissy’s fiancé... is a scumbag. He has several girlfriends in Country Y," he finally revealed. "What?!" Hazel had just taken a sip of water and hadn’t swallowed yet when she heard this bombshell of news. "Wasn’t it just said that they were going to get married soon? Are you telling me that guy still has several other girlfriends?" If Damon had been talking about something from a long time ago, Haze

    Hazel also thought of this issue. "It’s better not to make it too sudden. First, plant a seed of doubt in Chrissy’s mind, or maybe confess and show her the evidence in advance." Planning these things without Chrissy knowing made her worried. If Chrissy saw everything unfold unexpectedly, she might not be able to handle it. Telling her in advance only raised one concern: Chrissy might tell Gavin, and he’d be prepared. But as long as everything was in place, even if Gavin knew ahead of time, it wouldn’t change the outcome. "Had you not reminded me, I would’ve forgotten to consider if Gavin would do something trashy. It seems I have to give Chrissy a heads-up after all. Otherwise, who knows what problems might arise later," Damon said, his anger rising at the thought of what Gavin might do to Chrissy. It made him lose his appetite. Fortunately, Hazel understood. After all, they had grown up together, and they still kept in touch. Seeing her friend tangled

    “Boss, look! She’s awake now. What should we do next?” Hazel's hands were tied tightly behind the chair. It seemed Grant had seen her skills before, so he wasn’t taking any chances. She had tried to break free, but it was useless. Grant stepped forward and yanked the cloth off her face, grinning as he looked at her. “Hazel, do you recognize me?” Feigning ignorance, Hazel studied him for a moment before speaking, “You’re not one of Harold’s men, are you?” The name Harold wasn’t a secret to those around the Price family or Hazel. At this point, Hazel didn’t want to reveal that she already knew Grant’s identity. Doing so would complicate things. After all, she was at a disadvantage. If he started seeing her as a threat, it would only make things worse for her. “I’ve already told Harold that my parents didn’t leave me anything or tell me anything important. Even if you kidnap me, I’ve got nothing to give you!” Her voice was filled wi

    “What nonsense are you spouting? Cooperate? How do you want to cooperate, take off your clothes yourself?”Grant glared at Hazel viciously, as if wishing he could tear her apart, but in reality, he didn’t dare even touch a finger of hers.Before she had recognized him, he might have had the courage. But now, he wouldn’t dare bet the entire Fletcher family on it.“Let me tell you this,” Grant said harshly, trying to hide his unease. “You’re just someone Damon fancies. Do you really think he’d abandon his own mother for you?”“There’s a saying—‘You can always remarry, but you only have one mother.’ Besides, you’re not even part of the Price family yet!”Rather than convincing Hazel, it seemed more like Grant was trying to convince himself.As long as his sister, the wife of the Price family’s eldest son, could protect him and the Fletcher family, dealing with someone like Hazel shouldn’t be a problem... right?“Grant,” Hazel said calmly

    The Fletcher family had always favored sons over daughters. While Grant often helped Agatha with her schemes, deep down, he looked down on her.If not for the generous amounts of money Agatha gave him each time, there was no way he would do these thankless, fruitless tasks for her.It wasn’t just Grant who thought this way; the rest of the Fletcher family also believed that if Agatha weren’t so unreliable, the Price family wouldn’t treat them as dismissively as they did now. The Price family should’ve been a powerful ally to the Fletcher family.“You’re too late. When I let you off the hook last time, you should’ve had this realization, not waited until now.”Hazel sat on a chair, pulled out her phone, and activated the audio and video recording function, pointing it at Grant.“Now, spill everything—what Agatha instructed you to do, your own plans, and every detail about what’s happened up until now.”Grant’s expression twisted as though he

    Damon had just come downstairs from his study. The Price family members were preparing to have dinner when Hazel’s sudden arrival caught everyone off guard.It was Jamal who first reacted. “Hazel, you came at just the right time. We were about to eat. Join us for dinner.”Hazel’s gaze locked directly onto Agatha. Agatha stole a glance at her but quickly averted her eyes, her guilt practically written across her face.“Uncle Jamal, I didn’t come here for dinner today. I’m here to address some matters.”Just as Jamal was about to ask what matters, Hazel gestured toward the door. Moments later, Grant emerged from the corner.The moment the Price family saw Grant, they immediately guessed what this was about and all turned their eyes to Agatha.Among the Price family, the only person with ties to Grant was Agatha.“Mom, did you instigate Grant to do something to Hazel again?”The Price family was already aware of the previous car a

    Mark had originally intended to take Agatha to apologize to Hazel, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. He was getting older, and Jamal had already reached middle age. This sort of matter should be handled by Jamal himself. Had he known that Jamal wouldn’t be able to handle Agatha’s actions, he would have dealt with it himself. He had tolerated Agatha for far too long. “I remember telling you not to associate with your family too much,” Mark said, his voice tinged with frustration as he looked at Agatha. Jamal, with his face twisted in anger, couldn’t hide the disappointment in his eyes. Mark stood behind Jamal, silent, not saying a word. It wasn’t that he didn’t care, but he wanted to see how Jamal and Damon would handle it. After all, Agatha was someone close to them. One was Agatha’s son, and the other was her husband. If they could resolve this matter, it shouldn’t have to fall on Mark to intervene. However, if they failed to giv

    “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. The doctors had insisted he needed to rest.The old master had already worried himself sick over the situation with Hazel’s paren

    “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
