Chapter 260
To avoid Spike's men, Hazel, Silas, and Serstayed in a remote place with many guards. Hazel was confident
about Ashley. She was willing to let Ashley know where she stayed. After all, Hazel thought Ashley was stupid.
Not only that, but she also knew Ashley's weakness and knew that she was timid.
As Spike's men had done such a disgraceful thing to Ashley, she would never betray Hazel.
Sersat on the couch and said with a low voice, "Hazel."
"Yes?" Hazel stared at her phone while she was eating. She didn't take it seriously.
She seemed to have long been used to treating Serwith that attitude.
Serwas massaging Hazel's legs as he asked in a low voice, "Cwith me. My brother's business is no
different from that of Spike. Both are doing illegal business and will be imprisoned in the future. Can we stop
relying on him?"
Hazel frowned, "Pathetic! The return and risk are always proportional to each other. What kind of money do you
think is legal behind all the huge wealth?"
Serdidn't speak anymore. He was a little dejected as if he was deceiving himself.
"Stop massaging me. Do what you need to do and stop bugging me." Hazel disliked Servery much.
"Hazel... How much is sufficient?" Serasked softly.
Hazel was even more impatient. "What can | do without money these days? Spike ruined my career, and my
money was used to pay the liquidated damages for breach of contract. If you can't earn money, how can you
support me? Are you thinking of working hard as before to earn less than 150 dollars a month? Do you want me
to live in poverty?"
Serlowered his head and stopped talking.
Both of them cfrom a poor village in the old days.
At that time, Hazel didn't dislike him and was happy to talk about their future.
However, everything changed when Hazel went to school in the city.
Serand Hazel were husband and wife. Although they didn't have a marriage certificate, they could organize
their wedding first in their village.
In that era, Sermarried Hazel with three bags of beans, 110 pounds of wheat, and 450 dollars.
They had their wedding. Everyone in the village knew that Hazel was Sergio's wife.
He also thought that Hazel was his wife. He was lucky to have married the most beautiful girl in the village.
Even Silas was envious of him.
Later, he accompanied Hazel to Hofcaster and worked part-tto earn money for her to go to school. He never
complained at all.

Moving on, she went to a nightclub to make money. She worked part-tand flirted with many men. Gradually,
she was tempted by the power of money.
She knew that money was omnipotent.
"| also saved smoney... Silas also gavea lot of money. | think... we can find a small city, buy a house,
and live a down-to-earth life. Even if you don't want to work for the rest of your life, it's enough for us to survive.
| can still work and support you." Serlooked at Hazel nervously.
They had enough money at that moment.
Besides, Hazel had made a lot of money during those years. Even if she had compensated for the liquidated
damages, what she had left was enough to support herself for the rest of her life.
"You're hopeless," Hazel cursed in disgust.
Just as she was about to leave the living room, she saw Ashley coming.
"Ashley, cand sit," Hazel smiled instantly and treated Ashley with utmost care.
"Henry really cares about you. It's useless forto find him myself! He agreed to it when you just mentioned it
casually." Hazel was shocked. She never expected Henry to care about Ashley so much and was so obedient.
Ashley was also shocked, but she felt more distressed.
She thought, "How can Henry be threatened by what | casually said and agreed to it?"
Ashley had tears in her eyes. She knew that she couldn't continue that way.
She couldn't let Henry compromise for her and be taken advantage of anymore.
She couldn't be Henry's weakness.
"I think it's because it's for your benefit." Ashley smiled innocently.
"Don't worry. If you marry Henry in the future, | will definitely make him treat you well." Hazel began to
brainwash Ashley again.
Unfortunately, Ashley had already seen Hazel's true nature. She would not be convinced by Hazel's words
anymore.
"Ms. Locke, Silas is looking for you." Someone cto inform Hazel.
Hazel hurriedly placed the snacks and fruits in front of Ashley and got up to leave the living room.
Ashley looked at Serand smiled politely at him.
Serlooked loyal and honest. Seeing Ashley's innocent smile, he lowered his head and was a little bit
embarrassed.
"Hi there, you are..."
Serhad been hiding all those years. He was also living abroad like an object of hate and was not confident.
"M-My nis Sergio... I'm Silas' brother."
"Ah, you are Mr. Cox's younger brother. When will Ms. Locke and Silas get married? I'm looking forward to it."
Ashley sounded innocent.
Serwas stunned. His body and gaze stiffened instantly. "What?"
"Are you excited too? You are also happy for your brother, right? He has an A-list actress as his girlfriend. They

stime. "How do you feel about having a celebrity as your sister-in-law?"
Serstopped breathing for a moment. His face was red as he stammered, "Are... Are you mistaken?"
"How can | be mistaken? Lettell

She had investigated Hazel previously.
She knew Hazel had a boyfriend named Serwhen she was young.
That was Silas' younger brother.
Serlowered his head and did not say anything. He clenched his fists tightly.
"Mr. Cox, | can't talk to you anymore. | think Hazel is pretty busy. I'm leaving now." Ashley got up with a smile
and left.
As soon as Ashley left, Sergio's face darkened. He scratched his fingers until they were bleeding.
He thought, "It's impossible! Hazel is

As soon as Ashley left the residential area, she sent out a message.
It was one of Spike's men that hurt her that day. The man had been bugging her and threatening her with videos
as evidence.
She made a deal with the man using Hazel and Silas' residence address. In exchange, he would never threaten
Ashley again.
If he continued to threaten her, the consequences would be at his own risk.
