From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World by Anonymous

Chapter150.

The moment Hazel realized she couldn’t find the kids, she had John and his crew on standby.

Scanning the area, she noticed not only were the nannies who usually followed the children missing, but even the bodyguards with Jaxon and Joshua weren’t the ones Gabriel had assigned. They were from the Campbell family’s old estate instead.

Her gaze swept over the crowd gathered near the pool. Most of them were unfamiliar faces, the kind of people who floated around the edges of high society but weren’t part of the real elite.

The true heirs and decision–makers were inside the banquet hall, clinking glasses and discussing potential business collaborations.

After all, those invited by Arthur were the cream of the crop.

This was way more convenient than having their secretaries schedule some formal meeting.

The first floor of the banquet hall was arranged with private seating areas, separated by antique screens embroidered with intricate designs, perfect for the powerful to converse in privacy. The commotion outside by the pool went unnoticed by the important guests inside.

The ones mocking and criticizing Hazel now were either useless rich kids or shallow, scheming women who had clawed their way into their positions, birds of a feather with Jade.

They envied Hazel’s beauty, her two sons who were the future heirs of the Campbell family, and her stunningly beautiful daughter, Leila.

At that moment, Jade’s face turned a mix of pale and flushed. She warned Hazel to choose her words carefully.

Hazel, after checking Leila’s forehead to make sure it wasn’t broken, let out a small sigh of relief.

She turned to Jade with a cold smile.“Jade, have you forgotten my warning? Don’t mess with me or my kids, or you’ll regret it.”

This was the Campbell family estate, and Jade couldn’t believe Hazel would dare cause a scene here.

She sneered, “Go ahead. Try it.”

Before Jade could finish, Hazel’s hand moved like lightning, striking Jade’s cheeks twice in quick

succession.

The sound echoed in the air, followed by gasps from the crowd.

No one could believe it. Hazel, holding her daughter with one arm, had just slapped Jade twice.

And before Jade could even react, Hazel delivered two more sharp slaps, the sound ringing out clearly.

Jade staggered, her face red and swollen, with clear handprints marking her cheeks.
