Upon hearing the voice, Delilah quickly turned around. The moment she saw Hazel, all the exhaustion seemed to disappear from her face.
“What would you like to drink?”
Hazel rolled her eyes. She hated dealing with people who beat around the bush. If you have
something to say, just say it-no need for all the extra nonsense.
Delilah grabbed her wrist, then took an invitation card out of her bag.
“I hesitated for a long time, but I thought I should invite you. After all, you’re close to Damon, and I hope you can come to our wedding and witness it.”
As she spoke, there was a smug smile on her lips. Hazel let out a slow sigh.
Facing such a foolish opponent was hardly anything new.
She had waited this long just to deliver an invitation? Did she think Hazel would be angry? Or did she think Hazel still had feelings for Damon?
Hazel reached out with two fingers, took the invitation card, and without even glancing at
it, stuffed it into her bag.
“Well, congratulations. If I have time, I’ll come and watch your joke unfold.”
When Hazel married Damon, although there was no grand procession, the event was still quite grand. The Price family had invited all their relatives and friends to attend, with several famous figures and big names present.
As for Delilah and Damon’s wedding, although it was large in scale, Hazel had heard that they had only sent invitations to a few close friends and family, and they had booked a small banquet hall.
There was no wedding host, and the entire ceremony was kept simple.

Given how flashy Delilah was, Hazel didn’t believe this was Delilah’s idea.

It was more likely that the Price family’s elders didn’t approve of her. If it weren’t for the
child in her belly, how could they have allowed her into the Price family?
“Hazel, I know you’re not happy about me marrying Damon, but Damon likes me. The fact that he divorced you is the best proof, isn’t it?”
“In high society, there’s no such thing as ‘the other woman.’ The ones who are unloved are the real mistresses. Whoever gets to the top is the one who gets to laugh last.”
These words truly shocked Hazel, and after talking with Delilah, she felt like her worldview was being shaken.
As she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a flash of light outside the window.
Hazel took out her phone from her pocket, casually tapped on it, then put it back and turned
to sit down in front of Delilah.
“Since you’ve brought up this topic, I might as well talk about the rest of it. I came here to have a little chat with you.”
Delilah seemed to hesitate for a moment, but as soon as she met Hazel’s eyes, her attitude immediately returned to her usual self.
“Repeat what you just said. I almost thought I didn’t hear you right. So, in your eyes, what you did seems completely justified, doesn’t it?”
Delilah was no longer as polite as before, her expression filled with disdain.
Even though she knew Hazel was the eldest daughter of the Queen family, she still felt superior to her.
“Am I wrong? Love isn’t something that follows a timeline. Even the law doesn’t restrict the behavior of mistresses, which proves there’s no such thing as a mistress.”
“In a relationship where both sides are willing, the person who is unloved is naturally the

third party. If it weren’t for their existence, the lovers could be together, don’t you think?”
When Delilah said these words, she didn’t have a smug or arrogant expression; instead,
there was a hint of grievance, as though she were about to cry.
Her acting was terrible. If she hadn’t just seen the reporters outside, Hazel wouldn’t have known that she was playing another game.
She was about to get married and still couldn’t settle down. Since she insisted on making a scene, Hazel decided to give her a wedding gift.
“If love is the only thing that matters in a relationship, then what about a virtuous wife who cares for two families? Human nature is never satisfied, always longing for what it doesn’t
have. I think you might be confusing novelty with love.”
“Go take a look at those married men. Which one hasn’t been attracted to other women?
And it’s not just one, but how many of them actually divorce their wives and bring home a lover?” Delilah responded casually.
“Men are the best at weighing the pros and cons. A fleeting sense of novelty versus a long- term, stable, and beautiful life-do you really think they’ll choose the novelty? In their eyes, the women they marry and the ones they casually play with are two completely different categories.”
Growing up, Hazel had seen plenty of scumbags. Even Jonah had kept a mistress outside.
How many couples like her parents, who were harmonious, or Uncle Omar, who never
remarried out of love, could there be in the world?
Thinking about this made Hazel feel sad.
“No matter what you say, Damon is still going to marry me into the Price family, isn’t he? Who said you can only love one person in your lifetime and marry only one person?”
Delilah took out a tissue, theatrically wiping the corner of her eye.
“Sorry, my eyes suddenly feel uncomfortable.”

Hmph, whether it was her eyes hurting or her acting for the reporters outside, Hazel could easily tell the difference.
Since she wanted to put on a show, Hazel decided to play along with her tonight.
With that thought, Hazel picked up the sago pudding in front of Delilah and splashed it directly onto her face.
The sticky sago pudding splattered all over Delilah’s hair and face, making her look thoroughly messy.

Delilah didn’t expect Hazel to suddenly do this, and she screamed in shock, quickly jumping
to the side.
“Hazel! What are you doing?!”
The waiter hurried over, glancing between Hazel and Delilah with a look of surprise in his
eyes.
He quickly lowered his head and bowed slightly, “Sorry, is there anything I can help with?”
Hazel smiled politely, “Thank you, but we’re just solving some very private matters.”
The waiter quickly retreated, pulling other staff members with him, and they moved far
away.
