CHAPTER 12

"Mrs. Haynes, what do you think of Hazel's relationship with Mr. Woods?"

"Rumor has it that Hazel's bought into Starlight Media. Is it true?"

"It's her private business. You should ask her!" Amara's face darkened, and she was in no mood for an interview! "Stealing men from other women and taking away properties from others. That kind of thing happens a lot. However, you need to see through all these. The Woods family is a very respectable one! Will they allow a woman like that to marry their heir? Let's wait and see!"

That, to the press, was a bombshell! As long as it was interesting enough for the public, they didn't care at all if it was the truth or not..

Amara's not gonna let Hazel steal the thunder from her own daughter.

As a matter of fact, this was exactly why Amara moved against Hazel nine years ago! Hazel had been so excellent and eye-catching that Lyra would never really shine with her around.

"Mrs. Haynes, when exactly will Ms. Lyra and Mr. Black's wedding be held?"

"Right, about that, it's been four years since the news of their engagement. Why hasn't there been a wedding? Will their relationship be affected by Hazel?"

"How is that possible? Lyra and Mr. Black have always loved each other deeply! You know, young fellows, they have to go through something first. before their relationship gets stronger! Hence, though there are people who are trying to sabotage things, it won't work out as they expected!" Amara said sarcastically, not giving any more interviews.

Then her bodyguards escorted her back into the car.

Not long ago, Amara had already bribed several reporters and online celebrities.

If everything went well, Hazel was gonna be trending tomorrow.

She failed to ruin Hazel completely Nine years ago, but this time, Amara would make sure that Hazel would never get back on her feet again.

Inside Amara's car.

Amara's chest rose and fell violently due to her fury, and she kept swearing. "How could she be so lucky! She has just been kicked out of the Black family, but the Woods family takes her back in!"

"Mom, for the sake of your blood pressure, calm down and drink some water!" Lyra handed over a bottle of water and looked at Amara, a little scared.

Amara took the water from her and shot Lyra a disappointed look. "You're letting us down, Lyra. You've been Mr. Black's fiancee for years, and you still are! We don't know if you'll be able to marry into the Black family. Why can't you just learn from me?"

Lyra was so upset that her eyebrows were knitted.

She wanted to marry Chase as soon as possible.

But if the man never brought this up, it would be improper for her, a lady, to mention it at all.

Amara poked her daughter in the head and said, "You silly girl. You can't even handle a single man! You see how Hazel did? She gave birth to two boys without noticing anyone. You should consider getting pregnant as well! Your wedding can't be delayed any longer!"

Lyra's face turned scarlet when she heard that.

Only because she was so afraid to tell her mother that Chase had not touched her once up until now.

All these years, she had been maintaining the image of an innocent maiden, and she kept telling Chase that she would have sex with Chase only after their wedding

It was meant to keep Chase lured! After all, for men, the harder to get, the more precious it appeared to them.

But somehow, as time went by, Chase seemed to lose all his interest in her! When Lyra noticed that and hinted to the man that it was okay to be wild sometimes, the man actually replied that he would show his respect to her and never touch her until the wedding night.

"Mom… Chase and I, well…" Lyra was at a loss for words.

By now, she had finally realized something was wrong with her relationship with Chase. Since her mother was good with these kinds of things. Lyra decided to tell her the truth.

"What's wrong with him?" Amara asked, staring at her daughter with her eyes wild open.

"He…" Lyra bit her lip, feeling so embarrassed.

"Oh, just spit it out, will you? I'm your mother! You can tell me everything, alright?"

"Well, I'm just trying to tell you that I'm not gonna get pregnant since he has never slept with me!"

"What?" Amara spat out the mouthful of water that she had just drunk! "Are you kidding me right now? It's been Nine years, and you have never slept with him? Not even once?"

"Mom, you taught me to play hard to get! You said I have to keep them in suspense."

Amara was so mad that she actually felt a twitch in her liver. She patted herself on the chest while saying angrily, "you are so stupid! I told you to play. hard to get, but I didn't tell you to play impossible to get! I just want you to keep him in suspense so that he knows that you're not a cheap whore! That's all! Besides, how much money do you think he has? How many women do you think are trying to hook up with him every day? If you keep this going, who knows if he will go for some other bitches for his needs!"

"Huh? Are you serious?"

"You think you know men better than I do? Say no more, silly girl. I want you to go straight to the man later! I don't care what you do. You must make him sleep with you tonight!"

Lyra bit her lip, by her thoughts. "But I…"

"I don't want to hear what follows 'but! Just listen to your mother and take the initiative! Stop being a medieval maiden!"

"Mom, what if Chase says no?"

Amara's eyes widened. "What do you mean he says no? No man will refuse to get laid! Oh, you are making me so worried! If you were half as smart as me, you would have become Mrs. Black long ago! Don't go home with us tonight! I'll have the driver take you straight to the Black Family!"

"Fine."

Amara calmed herself down a little, but at the thought of Hazel, the anger rose again. "That Hazel bitch. She's too stupid to mess with me! Don't worry, Mom's Here! She'll never take away the title of the Lady of the city ever again…"

Hazel, who had left the Haynes tower after the meeting, returned to her hotel room exhausted.

This was a six-star hotel.

Hazel had a suite here, and she had paid for months. She even hired a nanny to look after the children.

It was not that she couldn't afford a house. At the moment, the convenience of the hotel was more important to her!

"Mommy, you're back!"

Seeing her at the door, the two little boys ran towards her.

"Yeah, Mommy's home!" Hazel bent down to stroke her sons' heads first before putting on the slippers..

"And Mia, how is she?"
