She Doesn't Need His Help

It wasn’t time for the Q&A session yet, but one reporter stood up and interrupted rudely, clearly unimpressed.

Hazel paused, her gaze shifting to the reporter with a smile. Yet, the meaning behind that smile was impossible to decipher.

Damon, however, understood it perfectly. Back when Hazel lived with him, she would use that exact expression whenever she felt speechless.

The difference was, at the time, he had no idea she was capable of so much. If he’d known, he wouldn’t have let Delilah’s petty manipulations cloud his judgment.

Who knows? Maybe he’d still have Hazel by his side today.

“May I ask which media outlet you’re with?”

Before Hazel could respond, Eddie spoke up, his tone sharp. No one had ever dared to speak to their boss like that, let alone in front of such a crowd.

Before the press conference, Hazel had already made her stance clear: any reporter who dared to make disparaging remarks about her today would become Queen Corp’s prim

    “I heard everything President Queen just said,” Damon spoke up. “And, in fact, Price Corp shares the same stance. I hope all of you in the media will make sure to convey our message clearly.”“If any outlet dares to publish baseless rumors again, let me assure you—Price Corp and Queen Corp will join forces to take action. Before you post anything, think carefully about whether you can handle the consequences of going up against both of us.”If dealing with Queen Corp alone wasn’t intimidating enough, now they had Price Corp to worry about too.Price Corp’s power was far more daunting than Queen Corp’s. If both companies targeted the same outlet, it would undoubtedly cause massive trouble for them.Hazel turned to Damon, who had appeared uninvited, feeling utterly exasperated.The rumors were already about the two of them. Now, with this public announcement, standing side by side, they were practically handing more gossip to the media on a silver pl

    Sully glanced teasingly at Xander, her eyes darting back and forth between him and Hazel.Ever since Hazel had taken some time to help manage their HX Group, she and Xander had been interacting more frequently, much to Sully’s delight as she tagged along, enjoying the sweet moments between them.The office building adjacent to Queen Corp had been purchased by Xander at a considerable cost. Being a branch second only to the headquarters, the location had to be impeccable.Without hesitation, Xander had focused on the area surrounding Queen Corp when searching for the site.While it was true that Queen Corp’s location was excellent, Vernon City had plenty of other prime spots to offer. His intentions were glaringly obvious.“This isn’t your first time visiting this place, is it?”Under Sully’s knowing gaze, Xander’s eyes flickered with unease for a brief moment before he quickly led them inside for a tour, using the opportunity to close the di

    “The last time, just because you secretly met with Damon, Delilah almost lost the baby in her belly. And now, you’re coming here to stir up trouble again? If anything really happens to Delilah, do you think Damon will let you off the hook?”At this moment, Agatha looked like a furious street quarrelled woman, completely unlike the matriarch of a prestigious family.It was clear that they had approached them first, yet now Agatha was blaming others. It was truly laughable.“Auntie, if you keep going like this, you might not even be able to keep Uncle Jamal. You're already of a certain age and can't make money. If you really get separated from Uncle Jamal and the Price family, how will you survive?”Hazel was known for her sharp tongue, and she wouldn’t spare Agatha just because she was Damon’s mother. Their relationship hadn’t reached that point yet.“If I were one of the Price family men, and married someone like her, who only brings shame to the f

    This was the clearest video Damon had ever seen—he could clearly see Demian’s face. Although the distance wasn’t very close, it was clear enough to see that Delilah had pushed Demian off the bungee jumping platform. With the videos from earlier, Damon pieced together the entire situation. Delilah had taken Demian to do the tandem bungee jump. At the last moment, Delilah got scared and backed out, leaving Demian to go alone. That explained why Delilah was seen behind him, wearing the equipment. From the final video, it was apparent that the staff had just finished putting the equipment on Demian when they noticed an issue and were about to fix it when Delilah suddenly pushed him off the platform. Demian bounced in the air a couple of times before falling into the water. It looked like a freak accident caused by a malfunctioning device, but the true culprit was Delilah. Even if there was a device malfunction, based on the staff’s reaction, it was clear th

    "What did you mean by the message you just sent? Please explain clearly. What do you mean by thinking that Damon has already investigated the matter with Demian?!" The voice on the other end of the line was Marcus, the staff member who Kin had been searching for but couldn’t find. Delilah hadn’t been in contact with him for a long time. If it weren’t for Marcus suddenly sending her such a strange message, she would have almost forgotten about that incident from back then. "Some of my former colleagues mentioned that Damon was investigating the video from back then. I asked a few people, and they all said that Damon has found quite a few videos. Also, his assistant, Kin, seems to have been looking for me. It’s not certain yet, but all the signs point to the fact that Damon might have already discovered what happened." After the incident, Delilah was so frightened that she nearly fainted. Marcus quickly took her to the break room. Just as he was about to go out to

    After speaking, she looked at Hazel again. "Hazel, it's one thing that you don’t show respect to us elders, but now you’re allowing an outsider to disrespect us like this? Don't you care?" "Besides, she's just an assistant. Are you really going to let her insult your uncle and aunt like this? Let me tell you, this is also a sign of disrespect toward you, and it shows that you’re not fit to be the president of Queen Corp!" Adele’s indignation made Hazel and Sully laugh in disbelief. The two sat on the sofa, looking at Adele as if she were a clown. Jonah quickly stepped in to pull Adele back, signaling her to stop talking. Adele had never witnessed Sully's strength, but both Bailey and Jonah had. Someone like Adele was no match for Sully. "And who might this be?" Sully looked at Hazel, a hint of amusement in her eyes. Hazel played along, smiling as she introduced her, "This is my infamous aunt, who has a way with words. You’d better be careful." Thou

    Omar had already gone abroad a few days ago, and the hard drive had been handed over to the professionals. However, the specifics haven't come back yet, but Hazel had enough confidence in the technicians Omar knew. As long as the content in the video could be restored, she would not hesitate to deal with Jonah’s family. But before that, she intended to torment them properly. "Hazel, what are you saying? We're family, and we've always followed the law. How could we suddenly end up in jail for no reason?" Jonah knew that Hazel’s bottom line was her grandparents and parents, and what Bailey had said today had struck at the heart of the matter. It was no wonder that Hazel was so furious. "I know Bailey's words upset you, but now you're kicking us out. We have nowhere to go. We're family; don’t make things so irreversible." Hazel grinned and took out her phone, showing the assets under Jonah's name that she had investigated. "So, this is what you c

    The once grand villa now felt empty after Jonah’s family had moved out. Hazel and Sully stood in the middle of the living room, scanning the house.The garden outside still looked the same as when they arrived, but everywhere else had become like a wasteland."Hazel, should we renovate the house back to its original state?"Sully stepped forward and draped an arm around Hazel’s shoulders, trying to offer her some strength.The place where the once happy family of three had lived now lay in this state, and it was hard for anyone’s heart to bear.Moreover, the people she loved most had already left her."You really understand me. It's good to have you here, so you can keep an eye on things. Let's go, let's see that secret room you mentioned."The study was mostly unchanged.

    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.

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?"

    "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

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.

    "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.

    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
