Just as Damon and Kin breathed a sigh of relief, the next moment, the door to the room opened, and Hazel’s sharp eyes darted between them.

“What are you two doing out there? Come in,” she said coolly.

With that, she swung the door open wider and walked into the room without a second glance.

Damon and Kin exchanged glances and reluctantly followed her in, with Kin almost glued to Damon’s back, as if Hazel were some sort of terrifying figure.

Once inside, Hazel went back to her earlier seat. Damon lowered his head and stood in front of her, while Kin stood close behind, trying not to draw attention to himself.

“So you say you’re here to protect me, but why is Kin here too? Does your company not have anything else to do? You two are the pillars of the business, and you’re both out here?” Hazel’s voice was laced with frustration.

She had initially assumed Damon had come because he was worried about her, especially after hearing she was traveling

    If it weren’t for the decent salary, Kin probably would’ve quit by now. Hazel glanced at Damon, who was still eating with great enthusiasm, and silently rolled her eyes. She was certain she couldn’t keep working with such a boss. "We haven't had a chance to eat, and the next meal doesn't seem like it will be anytime soon," Kin said, his voice full of grievance. Hazel felt a twinge of sympathy, but then she remembered that Kin was siding with Damon. It wasn’t her fault if he couldn’t manage his own assistant, so that sympathy quickly faded. After finishing breakfast, Hazel left with Xander. Damon and Kin, to her surprise, followed them out. She thought after all the morning's commotion, they would finally take care of their own matters, but as they waited for their cars, Damon lingered behind, not leaving. Thankfully, their car arrived quickly, and without saying a word to Damon, Hazel got in and left. Damon didn’t follow this time. Instead,

    Damon glanced behind him at Xander, noticing that Hazel hadn’t come up yet. It was just the two of them on the upper floor. “I know you like Hazel, but after being together with her for so long, if she liked you, you’d definitely feel it. The only reason you’re not together now is that Hazel doesn’t like you.” Damon had previously discussed Xander and Hazel’s relationship in detail with Kin and Chrissy. If they hadn’t been together before because of Xander’s hesitation, then after Hazel’s divorce from him, and with no progress between them, the only possible reason was that Hazel didn’t like Xander. However, Damon also knew that just because Hazel didn’t like him now, that didn’t mean she wouldn’t develop feelings for him after spending time together. “If it’s really like what Mr. Price says, then why bother coming here? Wouldn’t that just be a waste of your effort?” Xander was always calm, even in front of Damon, showing no signs of excitement or

    This restaurant not only required a reservation, but they were strict about the timing—if you were more than twenty minutes late, they would give your table to the next customer.Reluctantly, Hazel nodded. “Since you haven’t eaten yet, come along. After all, we’re all friends.”Damon shot a resentful glare at Xander before eagerly settling into his seat.If he weren’t worried about making Hazel upset, he would’ve yanked Xander out of the seat and sat next to Hazel himself.When they arrived, Damon immediately noticed it was a place frequently visited by couples.The restaurant had a romantic and somewhat ambiguous atmosphere, with most customers pairing off in couples—both men with men and women with women, though these were rare. Groups of three or four were even more unusual; most people came in pairs.“This can’t be a couple’s restaurant, right? I don’t see anyone else dining in groups of three. It’s just us.”Damon walked in front

    Damon sat beside Hazel, his apologetic voice soft enough to make even himself feel uncomfortable. Hazel didn’t respond, and soon the atmosphere at the table became harmonious again, with no one speaking or making any inappropriate moves.After finishing the meal, Hazel said she needed to use the restroom, leaving only Damon and Xander at the table.This time, neither of them spoke. They both focused on their phones, and about ten minutes later, when Hazel still hadn’t returned, Damon started to sense that something was wrong."What’s going on? Hazel wouldn’t be feeling unwell, would she? You stay here, I’ll ask a waiter to check on her in the restroom."Xander, also sensing something was off, couldn’t stay seated. He stood up and followed a female waiter to the restroom area.They waited by the door while the waiter went inside to check if Hazel needed anything.To their surprise, the waiter came out alone after a quick check.

    "I think the same way. You should come too, and bring Xander Knox along with you. Don’t worry, I’m inviting you as guests because I want to learn something from you. As long as you cooperate, Hazel will be fine." "By the way, you should know the location, right? After all, you just left the estate. I’ll have someone meet you at the place you were earlier." Without waiting for Damon to respond, the person on the other end hung up. Damon held the phone for a long time without putting it down. He and Xander were close enough for Xander to hear the voice from the phone. In other words, every move they made was being monitored by this person. They were both CEOs—one of HX, the other of Price Corp—who were already regarded as elites in the eyes of ordinary people, but in this person’s eyes, they were no more significant than ants. "Well then, let’s head over. There’s really no better option right now, is there?" Xander said resignedly. Given the situati

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   The Forgotten Grandfather

    Hazel carefully examined the dishes on the table, and her face immediately darkened. These were not her favorite foods, but her mother Novaria's favorites, which meant that the man in front of her must have had a close relationship with her mother.Given that he knew her mother's favorite dishes so well, their relationship couldn’t just be described as ‘good’ anymore.They were either the closest of kin or each other’s greatest and most formidable enemies.Only these two kinds of people could know each other so thoroughly.From the way the man had acted toward her, Hazel guessed that his relationship with her mother was likely the former."What is your relationship with my parents? These dishes are all my mother's favorites, and you’re so familiar with her," Hazel asked, her voice cold, as if laced with poison. The thought that this man might be connected to her parents' accident made her heart feel as though it were being pricked by a thousand nee

    Hazel 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

    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

    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

    “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. Together, they became the central figures driving the lab’s most critical research.A significant portion of the lab’s breakthroughs were attributed to their work, leading Harold to pin all his hopes on them.The dossier also mentioned the elusive Shadow Vial X, confirming that Harold’s claims were

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. Hazel simply chose a café for the meeting.When Adam received Hazel's call, he was a bit surprised. Hearing that she wanted to meet for coffee left him even more astonished.The surprise quickly turned into apprehension. 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. There were other patrons nearby,

    "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.

    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.
