When Yvonne learned that her card was overdrawn, she was taken aback. "Not enough money?" she inquired. "That can't be done, try again." The card with the highest balance belonged to her. The card has an enormous amount of money on it. Yvonne pondered the possible expense of this jade band. Standing next her, Hazel couldn't suppress a small chuckle. "What are you laughing at?" "Benjamin gave me all the money on this card," Yvonne scowled and stated. Three years later, I bet he hasn't handed you a single penny, correct? Benjamin had, in fact, never handed her any money. But today, he did give her a black card. It was quite evident to Hazel that this card was unique to Benjamin. It was a limited edition black card from throughout the world. She had received it from Benjamin with the intention of purchasing Mrs. Lucas's gift. But just now, it would be great to enrage Yvonne with it. After attempting to swipe the card once more, the sales assistant said, "I'm sorry, there are insuf

Hazel headed straight home after leaving MC Enterprise. Given the wealth and influence of the Lucas family, Mrs. Lucas's birthday celebration ought to have been an extravagant affair. But only family members were allowed to attend Mrs. Lucas's birthday supper since she disliked waste and extravagance. Hazel was disliked by everyone in the Lucas family except her grandmother. Benjamin's parents were among those who believed Hazel was a self-centered gold digger who was only using Benjamin as a stepping stone to higher social status. Their attitude toward their daughter-in-law had always been callous. Hazel questioned whether she would have been able to become a member of their family if Mrs. Lucas had not coerced Benjamin into marrying her three years prior. However, upon further reflection, there was absolutely nothing favorable about being married to Mr. Lucas. On the one hand, neither her position nor Benjamin's family ever made an official announcement or acceptance. However, B

Hazel sat quietly to the side, feeling that she had no right to speak at this point. In contrast, Benjamin was furious. However, since his grandmother was also there, he was unable to provoke a confrontation with Christian. They have to settle any disagreements amicably. They would be embarrassed to act in such a way in front of so many people. Christian must have assumed Benjamin would make this choice, which is why he decided to make a concert today of all days. Mrs. Lucas no longer had a smile on her face. Her head came up to meet Christian's. Finally, with a sigh, she extended her hand to accept his gift. She was never fond of Anthony's undocumented family. She recognized only one daughter-in-law, Winnie. She could not, however, refuse Christian's status as her grandchild, even if she had no desire to recognize Christian as her mother. He was, after all, a product of the Lucas family lineage. The more cynical cousins chuckled under their breath at Mrs. Lucas's reply. Anthony

If this was like before, Hazel would have called Benjamin right after seeing the news to ask him what he was trying to achieve with this. No, however, she held onto her phone but did not call him. In the past three years, Hazel had not told a single outsider about her relationship with Benjamin. Even though Benjamin and Yvonne went around together, the entertainment media would not dare expose his relationship with her in the tabloid news without his permission. Even though the employees at his company knew about his relationship with Yvonne, Benjamin had not taken the liberty of announcing it to the public. The existence of these news reports, therefore, meant that Benjamin had chosen to publicly acknowledge his relationship with Yvonne. Hazel bowed her head, chuckling softly to mock herself for being so pathetic. She had not gotten in touch with Benjamin over the past few days. The truth was that she was still afraid that the divorce between them would be mentioned once they go

Like a stone dumped into a deep well, Hazel's heart plummeted into her gut. It was difficult for her to breathe since it seemed like the air around her was becoming thicker and thinner. Her mind was racing, searching frantically for some justification or explanation. It is unlikely that this will occur. Not on this day, any day.The vibrant flowers she was holding in her hands were a stark contrast to the scarlet river of guilt that was on her face. With a raspy murmur, "I... I must have forgotten my other wallet," she explained. Her mouth felt metallic from the untruth she could taste on her tongue.A glimmer of doubt crossed Christian's eyes like a shadow moving across the light, weakening his grin. Maybe you just misjudged the price, Hazel? Are you sure?Hazel wanted the earth to burst apart and engulf her. She was aware that the truth would be much worse than uncertainty. Her funds had already been strained by Benjamin's incessant demands and lack of interes
