Hazel sneered, clearly aware that Jade had cto her with ulterior motives.

Just days ago, she left Hazel’s house cursing. Now she was smiling, holding chamomile tea to visit her.

She thought that Jade might have wanted to drug her.

“Is there something you need?” Hazel didn’t take the tea and moved her wheelchair to the window.

The greenery outside looked like a resort, pleasing to the eyes.

Jade cursed Hazel in her mind for being arrogant but acted politely, placing the thermal box on the table and

smiling at her.

“Haze, | was too emotional before and said sharsh things. Please forgive me.” Hazel raised her eyebrows.

Jade stepped forward and smiled, “We were family before. You have no parents, and | care about

you.

“I think you shouldn't have divorced Gabriel. It's normal for him to have a mistress, given his background and

looks.

“As long as you're his wife and secure your position, what can those mistresses do? You were too hasty. After the

divorce, you got nothing and lost.”

Seeing Hazel didn’t talk back and seemed to be listening, Jade felt more confident

“From now on, if you're willing, I'll be your mother. You can ctofor anything, and I'll help if | can.”

A cold smile appeared in Hazel’s eyes as she watched her, curious about what else she'd

Sure enough, after a few sentences, Jade mentioned her family.

“My family will be your family too.”

say:

At this point, she deliberately checked Hazel’s reaction and continued when she saw no displeasure, “Now my

brother, your uncle, is in trouble and needs your help.

“Don’t worry. | won't ask you to help for free.”

Jade thought Hazel’s previous refusal was due to a lack of benefits.

This time, she was offering 150 thousand dollars. Hazel would surely agree! After all,150 thousand dollars was a

lot of money.

Hazel watched Jade's face with a half-smile.

Jade was really an idiot.

She didn’t even check the market rate before making an offer, or see how much ZN Laboratory charges for a

project.

“You've been in the Campbell family for over a decade, right? How can you offer so little? The Campbell Group

gives billions in dividends to shareholders every year. Don’t you get any of

that?”

The smile on Jade's lips froze. This topic made her angry.

One of Arthur's conditions for letting her into the family was that she wouldnt get any Campbell Group shares.

He also made Andrew sign a contract, limiting him to a fixed annual salary of 750 thousand dollars until Gabriel

was an adult.

At the stime, all shares under Andrew’s nwould be transferred to Gabriel once he turned adult.

Jade had planned to secure her position first and then gain status through her child. But Arthur had foreseen that

too.

The contract clearly said that any child she had, no matter the gender, would get nothing from the Campbell

Group when they becan adult.

All the shares and wealth of the Campbell Group belonged only to Gabriel!

Even after the child was born, Arthur made the child take her surname, showing he didn’t accept the child as the

Campbell family’s.

That was something she could handle.

She felt that Arthur treated all the women who married into the Campbell family the sway.

However, when Hazel married into the Campbell family, Arthur gave her 8% of the shares.

This difference made Jade resent Hazel for seven years.

“Haze, you know | loved Gabriel's father for who he was, not his money. I've hardly used the Campbell family’s

money. This 150 thousand dollars is most of my savings.

“If

you still think it’s too little...” she pretended to be reluctant and added, “I'll give you all my savings, a total of

200 thousand dollars!”

Hazel knew about Jade's family’s financial situation.

Jade’s words were partly true.

In Seattle, Jade’s family was just well-off. It was only after marrying Andrew and getting his help that their

business improved, slowly getting close

close to the Seattle upper class.

If everything had gone smoothly, they might have solidified their position among families of Seattle.

the prominent

However, after Gabriel took over the Campbell Group, he ended all business with Jade’s family.

Most people in the upper class were smart.

Knowing Gabriel disliked Jade, his stepmother, they quickly stopped working with the Zeller family.

Recently, Jade seemed glamorous, showing off Andrew's affection in public, but she secretly supported the Zeller

family.

Hazel thought Arthur was very smart.

His actions ensured his grandson’s inheritance rights.

Seeing Jade's smug look, Hazel wondered inwardly.

Had she not set her standards high enough?

Why did Jade think 200 thousand dollars could control her?

As she thought, her gaze fell on the sofa, which Jade mistook for her expensive leather handbag, making her

nervous.

She was carrying her cherished leather handbag, complete with accessories, valued at several hundred thousand

dollars.

Thinking of the hundred-million profit, Jade bit her lip and said, “If you help my brother's client get into the lab,

I'll give you this handbag!”

From a distance, Hazel looked at her calmly.

Feeling the offer wasn’t enough, Jade added, “Haze, | know you loved Gabriel. | can help you.

“He has many women, but you're the first who gave him children. If you apologize and humble yourself, he'll

change his mind.

“You gave birth to Jaxon and Joshua, and Gabriel liked them a lot. Since Gabriel cares so much for them, you

have a better chance than other women.”

Hazel’s warm eyes turned cold at Jade's view of women as mere reproductive tools. She looked down and said

firmly, “Enough.”

Her soft voice somehow made Jade's heart tense, reminding her of facing Arthur and Gabriel. Hazel spoke

calmly, “Keep your money and

your bag. |

As Hazel was about to send her away, a commotion started at the ward's entrance. A loud, male voice

challenged the bodyguards, “How dare you stop me? Do you know who | am? “Jade, chere! This bodyguard

stopped me. You need to fire him right away!” Jade had called her brother before entering the ward, urging him

to cquickly. The middle-aged, overweight man causing trouble at the door was her dear brother, Yusuf

Zeller.

She rushed to the door and ordered the bodyguards, “Let go! He's my brother. Let him in.” Jade went back to the

ward, sure the bodyguards would obey.

But when she sat on the sofa, the bodyguards still hadn't let him in.

She stood up again and scolded them angrily, “Are you deaf? | said let him in!” The bodyguards stayed quiet, just

looking at Hazel inside the room.

Their silent look showed they would only follow her orders.

Jade's face turned red with anger at being ignored. She turned to Hazel, frowning.“Haze, tell the bodyguards to

let my brother in. He's your uncle!”
