From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World by Anonymous

Chapter167.

On the way back to the hotel.

Hazel had someone go and check on what happened to Jadon’s brother, Colton Elton.

Johnson learned that last night she went out alone and almost got harassed by Colton. His first thought was to

teach Colton a lesson at his overseas base.

She saw through his thoughts and calmly said, “Colton is just a minor character, not worth all the fuss. The most

important thing now is to find the person behind.”

Johnson wondered, “Is it possible that it was the competitor in the Redwood Resort project?”

“It is unlikely. Our company was only recently established overseas. It's a new company. Even if the competitor

cannot beat Gabriel and Sebastian, there are local brands with a bigger reputation than ours.

“Moreover, we arrived in Akron yesterday afternoon, and the culprit trappedinto offending Jadon as soon as

we arrived. It was obviously directed towardspersonally, not the company behind me.”

Hazel had been staying in Nyack with her daughter for the past two years. It took over two hours to drive from

Akron to Nyack, so she couldn't possibly make enemies over here.

The Lewis family was destroyed, and the Chase family went broken, so they didn’t have the ability to do this.

As for the Zeller family behind Jade, they also lacked the ability to reach out to this remote small

town.

The most important thing was...

The enemy was obviously very confident. Even when discovered by a lunatic like Jadon, they had the ability to

avoid his retaliation.

After much thought, the only thing Hazel could cup with was that the only person who had such bias against

her, wished her dead, and had such power was probably the old lady from the Stevens family in Los Angeles.

But Sebastian was not a fool. He was right here, and if Abbie really made a move against her, he wouldn't be

oblivious to it.

So, who was the person lurking in the shadows staring at her?

Hazel fell into deep thought.

Who exactly was setting her up?

Johnson comforted, “Don’t worry. | will have someone investigate it.”

She looked at the scenery outside the window, which was soon left behind, and said, “John, have someone keep

an eye on Jadon.

“If we get the Redwood Resort project, we would have to stay in Akron for a long tafterward. Being closely

watched by Jadon as a competitor would be detrimental to our future progress.”

The dying Jadon, glancing at his men who were about to cover to support him, gritted his teeth and said,

“Stop. If you don’t call 911

now, | am really going to die!”

His men were in a flurry.

Before Jadon entered the operating room, he asked his men to go and check on the truth about his brother.

People thought he loved his brother a lot.

Only Jadon himself knew that he wished that burden, his brother, would die quickly.

Gabriel had just finished dealing with company matters and glanced at the time, realizing that it was already

past lunchtime. He was about to order food delivery when he heard scommotion outside.

Hazel had just arrived at the door of the room when the door opened. Gabriel looked at her and did not

immediately speak. He remained silent, and Hazel followed

suit.

Just now, when Jadon questioned her, Hazel did not immediately refute, unsure if Gabriel had taught Colton a

lesson after she left.

Gabriel had a deep gaze that seemed powerful like a Black Hole.

He noticed the wrinkles on her clothes and saw a wound on Johnson's face. He asked proactively, “What

happened?”

Hazel was rational. If she had any doubts, she would naturally ask for clarification. She briefly explained Jadon’s

and his brother's situation and asked Gabriel if he had sent someone to teach Colton a lesson.

Gabriel admitted it.

It was Matthew at the door who immediately explained for his boss.“Ms. Robinson, we just beat him after putting

him in a burlap bag. We didn't make him impotent.”

Hazel’s gaze lingered on Gabriel for a second.“Thank you.”

She knew that he did everything for her. Both emotionally and logically, she should be grateful to him.

But apart

from that, there was nothing else.

As Hazel was about to enter the door with a beep of the card swipe, she heard a man ask her in a deep voice,

He frowned and glanced deeply at Hazel.

She had already returned to the room.

The wound on Johnson's face added a sense of wildness to him.

Jadon had crawled and struggled at the bottom before achieving his current success. But Johnson was a lone

wolf, single-handedly carving out a territory in the treacherous wilderness as the leader of a pack of wolves.

He clasped his hands in front of him, leaning against the door, and asked with a half-smile, “Mr. Campbell, what

are you doing? Silently giving, hoping to move your ex-wife?” “It has nothing to do with you.” Gabriel didn’t want

to say much to him.

Johnson didn’t want to miss this opportunity to mock him. The reason why he and Ethan always argued every

tthey met was because they considered Hazel and Leila as their own family, and they both shared a

common dislike for Gabriel.

“Mr. Campbell, you wouldn't think that the problem between you and Haze would be resolved as you got rid of

Gianna, right?”

Johnson intentionally said “Haze” instead of “Ms. Robinson“. He was good at annoying people like Ethan.

As the words fell, the cool autumn breeze seeped through the corridor window, along with Gabriel's icy

icy gaze, landing on Johnson's face. Johnson smiled indifferently.

“Do you dare to make a bet with me?

“I bet even if you kneel in front of Haze, she will never get back together with you.”

He didn’t say a word, just stood there watching Johnson, sneered, and closed the door.

Johnson was furious.“What is this man scoffing at?”

Gabriel's history destined that Gabriel would not discuss his past with Hazel in front of others. Whether to break

up or reconcile was a matter between him and Hazel. Johnson had no say

But was Gabriel really as calm as he looked? Not really.

At least, at the evening banquet.

When Gabriel saw Hazel, with a gentle smile, appearing in front of everyone armed-in-arm with Johnson, his

eyes instantly darkened.

Emma, who was standing by his side, slightly lowered her gaze and suppressed her hatred towards Hazel in her

heart.

She took two steps forward and quietly reminded Gabriel, “Mr. Campbell, that person is Justin Corell, the general

manager of the Victory Group. The woman next to him is his fiancée, Samantha, the only daughter of the boss of

Tasty Foods.”

After saying that, she maintained an appropriate distance between herself and Gabriel and returned to her

previous position.

Emma could tell that Gabriel highly appreciated her work ability.

She stole a glance at Hazel and Gabriel, confirming that their relationship was still in a stalemate. Emma then

had a cold smile.

After entering the banquet hall, Hazel let go of Johnson’s arm and smiled, chatting with people who cover to

inquire about the news.
