In the elevator, Sully shot Xander a frustrated look and smacked his shoulder hard.

“I gave you such a golden opportunity back there! Why didn’t you confess? I’m telling you, if Damon swoops in and takes her back, you won’t even have a place to cry.”

Sully’s disdain for Damon was no secret. She wished she could confess to Hazel on Xander’s behalf and pair them up already, leaving Damon no room to interfere.

However, she hadn’t thought through what would happen if Hazel rejected Xander—how the two of them would manage afterward.

“Feelings can’t be forced. I’m not even sure if Hazel has feelings for me. I think I’ll wait and observe a bit more,” Xander replied.

The elevator doors opened just as he finished speaking. Xander stepped out with a stoic expression, and Sully followed behind, still nagging him nonstop.

Meanwhile, Bailey’s new mini-drama had just been released. Thanks to the popularity she had built up earlier, its viewersh

    As the voice rang out, a crowd of people quickly gathered, all armed with cameras, their flashes blindingly illuminating Bailey and Adele.They quickly stood up and moved toward the roadside, but anyone attempting to block their path was swiftly pushed aside by Adele.When they were still some distance from the car, Amber arrived.Without saying a word, she squeezed through the crowd and pulled them straight into the car.The paparazzi recognized Amber, the famous top agent, and the crowd buzzed with excitement.Thankfully, they knew Amber’s reputation, and when it came to dealing with overly aggressive paparazzi, she wasn’t one to hold back.So, once they reached the car, the crowd didn’t dare pursue them further.Inside the car, Amber was driving, while Adele and Bailey sat in the back seat, both feeling a little guilty.After the car entered the city, Amber finally spoke, “If anything like today happens again, we’ll terminat

  • Sorry Ex, This Queen Is No Longer Yours   Discussion With Elders

    Damon’s advice was clear, but the financial approach toward Jonah’s family was far from enough. No matter what, Jonah understood that he was part of the Queen family and naturally held onto some shares of the corporation. He was also more aware than the other shareholders of the ties between Hazel and the Price and Cohen families, knowing these families wouldn’t let things slide. Because of this, the shares in his hands would not be sold under any circumstances. But if Hazel followed Damon’s plan, it might prompt other shareholders to sell their shares as well. The problem was, she no longer had enough liquid funds to buy back those large shares. If those shares flooded the market, it wouldn’t be good for Queen Corp. It was better for the current shareholders to hold onto their shares for now. Sully walked over with some documents and handed them to Hazel. “Hazel, this needs your signature.” Noticing that Hazel wasn’t reacting, Sully waved the documents

    Hazel thought carefully. It made sense. If, at this critical moment, she suddenly had a falling out with both the Cohen and Prices, that would indeed seem suspicious. After all, Jonah wasn't exactly a fool. "That’s true. You can have conflicts with Damon, since you two already have a special relationship. But the more critical this moment is, the less you should have any issues with Omar." Grandpa Mark also agreed and quickly suggested a practical solution. "How about this: You start with a public argument with Damon. He then makes a strong statement online, saying that he won't invest in your company. After that, arrange for a journalist to ask Grandpa Omar about the situation. Grandpa Omar should first express that he won't be investing in Queen Corp either, but then reassure everyone that he still really likes you, his granddaughter." This way, it wouldn't seem out of place at all. Hazel nodded, agreeing with the plan, and then contacted Damon to discuss

    Mr. Will turned to look at Adele seriously. "Are you telling the truth?" As soon as Adele heard Mr. Will's question, she knew this deal could go through. She patted the table lightly and then placed her hand on Mr. Will's shoulder. "Jonah is Hazel's uncle, and I’m her aunt. Although we've had our disagreements, blood ties are not something you can sever just like that." Seeing his wife touching Mr. Will, Jonah’s smile immediately faded. He stood up, moved to the other side of Mr. Will, and slapped Adele's hand away, then put his arm around Mr. Will's shoulder. "Even if Hazel and I aren't close, we do have people around us who are close to her. If you don’t believe it, feel free to investigate their relationship." As Jonah spoke, he shot a look at Adele, who immediately understood. Although she felt uncomfortable, not wanting to escalate the situation, she moved away from Mr. Will. "Since you two are so confident, I’ll look into it. If I find out th

    Queen Corp was on the brink of collapse. Even though Hazel was capable, she no longer had the power to turn things around. If they didn’t act now, they’d be stuck with worthless shares and nowhere to turn. "Mr. Will, he has a bad temper, so don't take it personally. But this price really is too low. How about you consider adding a little more?" Mr. Will remained silent, his expression dark. Jonah had a bad temper, but Mr. Will had an even worse one. If he hadn’t made a promise to Damon, he wouldn’t have given someone like Jonah a single chance. It was only because of Adele’s good sense that he even entertained this partnership. No wonder they said Jonah was henpecked. With his personality, if Adele didn’t manage things, he probably would have squandered the family’s fortune by now. Seeing Mr. Will remain silent, Adele quickly added, "Let’s do this—forget the previous price we discussed. We’ll go with the market price you mentioned, five million per unit. We

    Jamal quickly helped Agatha to get checked, while outside the operating room, Mark sat, his face full of worry. Damon, on the other hand, paced back and forth in front of the operating room, occasionally glancing at the door, anxious to know when the doctors and nurses would come out. A nurse passing by couldn’t help but gossip. “Miss Hasani is really lucky. Even though she has such a bad temper, she found such a good husband in Mr. Damon.” “What’s so good about it? Haven’t you seen the news recently? The reason Miss Hasani had the premature labor was because Mr. Damon was still entangled with his ex-wife.” “Really? I can’t believe it! I mean, look at how worried he looks right now. It doesn’t seem like he’s faking it. Have you seen how some husbands just sit outside playing games while their wives are in labor? Mr. Damon is already doing much better than that.” “True, for families like theirs, the heir is really important. He’s not worried about Miss H

    “Mom! Hazel just came to check on Delilah and brought gifts, stop causing a scene,” Damon tried to calm his mother down. Hazel didn’t want to attract too much attention and immediately tried to leave through another exit. But Agatha wouldn’t let her go, pulling Damon’s hand away and charging at her. “Hazel Queen, you slut! Can’t you stay away from my married son? How shameless can you be!” Agatha yelled. Hazel was dressed in a simple white wool coat, and her natural elegance had already caught the attention of several people. Now, with Agatha making such a scene, more people started looking in their direction. Damon and Jamal both tried to pull Agatha away, but they couldn’t stop her from grabbing hold of Hazel’s coat. “Let go!” Hazel shouted angrily, and everyone around them froze, including Agatha. However, just two seconds later, Agatha’s insults grew louder, causing several nurses to rush over, concerned about the commotion. “Mom, you wanted to

    “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
