Delilah initially wanted to have the waiters call the police on Hazel, but remembering the reporters outside, she thought better of it.
Instead, she grabbed a few napkins to wipe the traces off her face.
“Hazel, everyone has their own opinions. If you disagree with me, just don’t listen. Why do you have to go so far as to hit me?”
She stood miserably beside Hazel, facing the window. From this angle, it would be perfect
for the reporters outside to capture the scene clearly.
The sago pudding she’d been splashed with couldn’t go to waste!
“It’s not my fault that Damon likes me. Since you want to vent your anger on me, I’ll accept
Before she could finish speaking, Hazel slapped her across the face. Afterward, she pulled out a wet wipe from her bag and carefully wiped her hand.
This time, Delilah couldn’t even scream. She really wanted to strike back, to call the people she had arranged outside to come in and give Hazel a good beating.
But she couldn’t. Some of the reporters weren’t people she had hired, they were just following her tip that big news was coming from this café today.
She had set up this stage for herself, so even if it hurt, she had to play along.
Before Delilah could react, the other side of her face was slapped again. Hazel wore a wicked
smile, as if she could see right through Delilah.
Delilah collapsed to the ground, too scared to look at Hazel’s flirtatious eyes, and too afraid to confront her anymore.
The show was about to end.

“Go on, why aren’t you talking now? If you keep dragging your big belly around in front of me to seek attention, I won’t care about your belly!”
“I’ve already divorced Damon, and I have nothing to do with you. If you feel insecure, go find your Damon. If you come to me, you’ll be asking for a beating!”
After speaking, Hazel tossed the wet wipe onto Delilah’s body and walked out of the restaurant, carrying her bag.
The staff in the restaurant were shocked, unsure whether they should help Delilah up.
Luckily, she quickly got back on her feet, tidied herself up, and left.
By midnight, the headline ‘The Queen’s Heiress Still Attached to Her Ex-Husband, Viciously Beats Up Damon Price’s Fiancée’ had made it to the trending list.
By the next morning, the topic was trending even more, with many people condemning
Hazel.
“Is it really okay to do whatever you want just because you’re rich? I heard Damon Price’s
fiancée is already pregnant-beating up a pregnant woman and her unborn child, is she really okay?”
“She’s more like a madwoman, casually beating people. What else could this be but a
mental breakdown?”
“Damon Price better come out and protect your fiancée and your unborn child! This is too
much!”
“Hazel Queen is just too vicious! Anyone who knows her should stay far away! What a cheap
woman!” 2
When Hazel woke up, the internet was in chaos, and her address and phone number had
even been doxxed.
Luckily, she had been foresighted and hadn’t returned to the villa the previous night, opting instead to stay at a hotel.

After getting up, she went downstairs to the clothing store and bought a powerful outfit before heading to the company.
There were also a lot of people gathered outside the company building, so she had to enter through the underground parking garage’s back door and take the elevator straight to the
CEO’s office.
Inside the meeting room,,the board members were all present, waiting for an explanation
from Hazel.
The online gossip about Hazel had seriously impacted the development of Queen Corp, and the deadline for the ultimatum she had set in her last military order had arrived today.
No matter what, today she had to step down, or else Queen Corp was doomed!
“Jonah, what exactly is going on with Hazel? Has she always been so arrogant and overbearing?”
The main seat was still empty. Jonah had started calling Hazel as soon as he woke up, but
none of the calls went through.
He had no choice but to gather the entire board to discuss how to resolve the impact of
Hazel’s actions on Queen Corp.
There were also the matters concerning the projects that had been taken from them. Today,
they would need some answers.
Even if Hazel chose to hide and not show up today, as long as the board members decided to push her out and place him in the CEO’s position, she would have nothing to say when she
returned.
Even if it came down to a vote, with her 20% share, it wouldn’t matter.
“Hazel has been spoiled by my brother and sister-in-law since she was young, so she’s

always been arrogant at home. I just didn’t expect her to still be so childish and prefer to use violence to solve problems at her age.”
“Hmph!” A board member slammed the table with force. Fortunately, the conference table was made of solid wood and was large enough to stay steady without toppling.
“Someone like her can’t be the president of Queen Corp! I think Jacob must have been out of his mind when he made such a decision in his will, letting someone like her take over the CEO position. Doesn’t he want to drive Queen Corp to bankruptcy?”
Before the words even finished, the door to the meeting room was suddenly kicked open,
and Hazel appeared at the doorway, frowning.
She wore a red velvet dress that accentuated her perfect figure, with a black blazer on top.
The black-and-red combination added a touch of maturity and allure.
With a meticulous makeup look, she appeared every bit the image of a powerful woman.
The board members, who had been so furious moments ago, immediately fell silent when
they saw her, too intimidated to speak up.
Hazel strode to her seat and lazily looked at the board members in the room.
“Who just yelled about my father?”
She didn’t care about what they said about her, but it was despicable to show such disrespect for someone who had passed away.
What made her even angrier was that this person was the founder of Queen Corp. If it
weren’t for Jacob Queen, where would any of them have the chance to sit at this table and earn money?
