"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

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Kick Jonah's Family Out

    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. Adele’s family had no use for the room, and even Jonah wasn’t a fan of reading.Also, since the study had many valuable calligraphy and antiques, they were af

    Before Hazel could reply to Damon, Sheila’s approval of the friend request came through.[Hello, Miss Queen. Is it you who needs to renovate a house?]Hazel didn’t expect Sheila to respond so quickly. She had thought someone as busy as her would take a while to reply, or that her request might sink into oblivion.[Yes, a villa needs to be renovated, but I don’t have the blueprints, only photos of the renovations. Will this affect the renovation results?][It shouldn't be a problem. I’ve had clients who didn’t even have photos and only gave descriptions. I still managed to design a satisfactory house for them.]If Hazel didn’t know the person on the other side was such a renowned designer, she might have thought she was just boasting.But then again, for someone who had made such a successful career in design, these things must be routine for her.[If you have time to take on my project, perhaps we could

    After Hazel returned, she completely reshuffled the company’s staff, and now there are only a few employees left that Jonah can rely on. The employees who used to work on projects for him have now joined Hazel and are pursuing their own projects. As the vice president of the company, he has no access to some of the core operations and can’t secure major projects. At this rate, Jonah is about to be sidelined. Even if he manages to secure a few projects from the Price family today, it would give him more leverage within the company. As for how Hazel might feel or respond, that’s no longer his concern. They’ve already torn their relationship apart. As for the dowry issue with the Price family, even if it spreads, it will only embarrass Hazel, and it has nothing to do with him as her uncle. “Old Master Price, I’ve come to discuss the matter between Hazel and Damon. You must know that Hazel’s parents passed away in an accident…” Before Jonah could finis

    Jonah was stunned. How could it be that both Damon and Grandpa Mark were saying the same thing? "When we divorced, I gave Hazel a sum of money, but she returned it all to me. She didn’t want it at that time. Why would she let you come here to ask for it now?" After a pause, Damon continued, "Grandpa must have told you about how he wanted to give Hazel 2% of Price Corp’s shares as a wedding gift, but she firmly rejected it. You didn’t even bother to check the details before coming to our door. Vice President Queen, don’t you feel ashamed?" Jonah’s mind felt like it had exploded. 2% of Price Corp’s shares was no small amount. Even if Hazel spent money recklessly for her entire life, it would be enough for her to squander. Yet she had refused it. Did she even understand the value of 2% of Price Corp’s shares? Jonah wished he could travel back in time and force Hazel to agree to the Price family’s offer. If she had, she wouldn’t be back now, fighting him fo

    “I’m a straightforward person, so don’t take offense. But honestly, this villa looks worse than shit right now. I can’t even imagine how the person who demolished the original design could have done it.”“Look here, this was clearly a beautiful bar area, but they knocked it down and expanded the dining room…”Sheila rambled on about the design, mostly complaining about the current renovations and praising the original design.As a designer, she really couldn’t understand why anyone would destroy such a beautiful setup and turn the villa into this mess.The more Sheila went on, the more relieved Hazel felt. Only someone who truly appreciated the design would take the time to restore it to its original form.“Miss Tucker, I’ll leave this villa to you. I have only one request: please don’t make any changes to the photos I’ve given you. If anything needs adjustment, let’s discuss it together.”Since returning, Hazel had been struggling with whet

    Kin didn’t try to make excuses for himself when things went wrong."We had tracked down some leads from Marcus's former colleague, but when we followed that trail, we found out that this Marcus isn’t real," Kin explained."The real Marcus had sold his social media accounts to someone else a long time ago, and even had this person post fragments of his life using the account. However, no personal photos were posted, so his colleagues believed the person in the circle of friends was the real Marcus."From these events, Kin could tell that Marcus was no simple person. This tactic alone showed how prepared he was. It seemed that he had already anticipated the retaliation from the Price family and had made plans to cover his tracks long ago.Months had passed, and now that they were finally looking for him, the difficulty had only increased.Seeing how cautious Marcus had been, Kin was starting to feel more overwhelmed.

    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

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."
