From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World

Chapter 317 Do I Have Enough Chips?

"Don't you want to know who those people who intercepted you were?"

Jadon's gaze fell on her car with a dented front, not far away, as he looked at her with a half-smile.

The experimental base was located near the mountain, and in the early morning, the mist in the mountains had just partially dispersed, with the air still filled with moisture.

Hazel's apricot eyes turned cold, and she asked in a questioning tone, "It seems like you know?"

She wore a comfortable casual outfit today, exuding a gentle aura all over her body. However, this gentleness never reached her eyes, leaving Jadon with a feeling of distance, as if she was keeping him at arm's length.

Jadon spat out the grass in his mouth, stood up, and walked towards her. He could smell a faint fragrance coming from her.

"I knew," he didn't hide it.

He was a man who crawled out of the mud, with his bangs covering the scar at the corner of his eye, which made him look more innocent.

"Did you forget about the Greene family? You used to give them a good meal before."

Hazel lowered her gaze slightly and pondered earnestly, extracting information about this man from her past memories.

The man recognized who she was and continued speaking, "The person behind Marcus is the Lambert family. The Lambert family has a young daughter named Elaina Lambert, who is currently being placed by the Lambert family to study alongside Jasper."

Jadon noticed the confusion in her eyes and continued, "And your ex-husband happened to have a collaboration with the Sterling family."

Upon hearing this, Hazel lifted her eyelids slightly.

He took out his phone from his pocket, found the photos that someone had sent to him, and handed them to Hazel.

"Elaina was arranged by Jasper to study alongside your ex-husband."

"Accurately speaking, the youngest daughter of the Lambert family had a crush on your ex-husband and was pursuing him."

Did she hire someone to harm Gabriel when she saw him?

Is this woman out of her mind?

If all the women who liked Gabriel in the future came to her to find a sense of existence.

Hasn't she had a peaceful life anymore?

Hazel looked straight into the man's eyes in front of her and suddenly asked, "And

what about you? Who is the person behind you?"

The Sterling family and the Lambert family were undoubtedly influential in Northfield.

And how could Jadon, a ruffian from a small county town in the mountains, know about these things?

The key message was still so well-informed.

The man said freely, "Who I am doesn't matter, the important thing is that I can offer you help, so..."

He took a half step forward, his eyes under the crew cut fixed on her eyes, and said slowly, "You can consider cooperating with me."

Ha! Another man who wants to collaborate.

What kind of collaboration did she recently uncover?

Hazel asked him with interest, "The prerequisite for cooperation is that you must have the ability to provide me with help."

She glanced at his dirty overalls and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Dependent on manual labor?"

At this moment, Audrey in the nearby office noticed that Hazel, who had not yet come upstairs, was engaged in a tense standoff with the rough-looking laborer. The atmosphere between them was evenly matched and on the verge of a confrontation, causing Audrey to raise eyebrow involuntarily.

Jadon's sharp gaze turned towards Audrey's position and noticed that she had withdrawn some of the coldness in her expression.

"Tonight, I took you to a place."

He bent down, his voice surprisingly cold, "You will see my sincerity then."

Without waiting for her answer, Jadon chuckled lightly and left.

It seemed certain that she would not refuse.

Hazel watched as the man's black figure gradually receded into the distance, then

turned and headed towards Audrey's office.

Compared to Ricky's inscrutability, this man was clearly more transparent.

But they were not good birds.

Today, a batch of the latest experimental machines was transported from Canada and all of them were delivered to the completed building.

Hazel spent only an afternoon debugging.

There were several machines coming tomorrow.

After Johnson finished the call and said she wouldn't be coming back tonight, she got up and left the office.

The night was as cold as water, and the chilling wind penetrated to the bone.

Jadon, who was waiting at the door, saw her finally come out and walked over with a smile on his face.

"Ms. Robinson really was a forgetful person."

Hazel tightened her coat around her, "I didn't say what time it was."

Although he had the initiative, this woman always found a way to regain control.

"Okay, you're impressive." Jadon was wearing thin clothes, exuding a strong muscular presence.

He glanced behind him at the bodyguard who hadn't followed, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll sell you?"

As soon as the words fell, a small red dot appeared on Jadon's forehead.noveldrama

"This woman really knows how to keep her true self hidden."

Hazel looked up lightly and said, "Lead the way."

Throughout, Jadon never said where the place he was taking her to was.

He thought Hazel would ask, but she didn't say anything at all, not even a hint of curiosity on her face.

car, what are you standing there for?" Jadon handed her a pink helmet, still for the one she had just bought. Heavy motorcycles rode smoothly through the mountains, especially at this moment when there were no other vehicles around. Jadon noticed the stiffness in the woman's body behind him, and a smile gradually spread across his lips.

He brought Hazel to the car repair shop in the outskirts of Akron, and the car drove all the way to the innermost workshop.

"Hello, Brother Cang!" The voices echoed one after another.

Hazel took off her helmet and surveyed the bustling auto repair shop in front of her. The men working on cars around her also looked at her curiously, but they only dared to look and not approach.

"Let's go," Jadon took the pink helmet from her hand and placed it on the car, leading her to continue walking inside.

The freight elevator in front opened.

The first thing that catches the eye is a whole mirror.

Hazel was like opening a blind box as she followed Jadon into the elevator.

There are mirrors on the front, back, left and right, and everyone standing inside can see every move clearly.

As the elevator "dinged" and the mirror door in front of them opened, a wave of heat hit their faces. Everyone saw Jadon inside and respectfully called out to Brother Cang, bowing their heads.

The enclosed space was a mix of fishy and unpleasant smells, mingled with the scent of tobacco and alcohol.

Hazel suppressed the thought of covering her mouth and nose, and the man saw her subtle expression through the mirror. He waved his hand, signaling the crowd to disperse, and led her to the elevator on the other side, this time going up.

The elevator doors opened this time, revealing a quiet corridor.

The deafening sound that just moments ago could rival a music festival's rave scene has now completely dissipated. The person standing by the

elevator door immediately lowers their head upon seeing Jadon and Hazel.

The office, which was in black tones, turned out to be a hidden paradise after entering.

Hazel looked at the chips in front of her, her eyes flickering slightly. There were surveillance videos covering an entire wall, and she saw many familiar faces from the news in them.

She turned to look at Jadon, who was already sitting on the couch drinking. By now, the man had taken off his jacket, revealing a work vest underneath. No matter how you looked at him, he seemed like just a street thug, but he had such

a powerful network of connections.

He raised the corners of his lips and asked, “Do I have enough chips?" Jadon approached, holding a glass of wine, and handed it to her, saying, "Hazel, welcome to my world."
