Hazel looked coldly at the door.

Seeing her pretty face, even in a hospital gown, Yusuf squinted his small eyes, showing a horny
and obsessed look.
“Jade, this must be Gabriel’s wife, right? She’s really pretty.”
Blocked by bodyguards, Yusuf stood at the door to talk.
Remembering the name Jade mentioned, he tried to get closer.“Haze, I’m your uncle. You can come to me for anything.
“Anytime you need me, I’ll be there–day or night.”
He emphasized the words and his smug smile and greasy face made him look more disgusting.
The night before, the Robinson family’s bodyguards were hurt, so those at the door were mostly from the Campbell family, plus some from the Campbell’s villa, including familiar faces Jade had
seen.
In public, Jade always acted polite and pleasant.
She turned to Hazel, “Haze, see, we’re family. Your uncle even left his work to visit you. Please, just let him in for a seat and some water.”
Hearing this, Yusuf quickly raised the gift box.“Yes, yes, I got you some health supplements!” Hazel smirked, her lips tight, saying nothing.
Jade and Yusuf’s self–centered behavior made her feel sick, especially since Jade was Gabriel’s stepmother.
She still wondered what Andrew saw in Jade.
Jade was inferior in looks, personality, and background compared to Andrew’s first wife, and even her preferences were superficial.
Did rich people these days favor women with a narrow–minded and conceited demeanor?
Yusuf’s greedy intentions were obvious, yet he acted kindly, which clashed with his sneaky behavior.
“My uncle? Seriously?
“My whole family’s dead. Wanna join them?”
Hazel’s voice was cold and mocking, ridiculing them.
Jade and Yusuf’s faces instantly turned sullen.
Yusuf angrily scolded Hazel, “Who the hell you think you’re talking to? My brother–in–law used to run the whole Campbell Group! My sister and I are just out here throwing you a bone. Dumb as a brick, no wonder Gabriel dumped you.”
Jade sighed, “Yusuf, don’t talk like that about Haze. She was in a car accident yesterday, and she’s just still a bit emotional. I don’t blame her.”
In the ward, Hazel sneered loudly.
“You two are such idiots.”

< Chapter123.
Jade and Yusuf were stunned.
“Your brother–in–law is my kids‘ grandpa. Seriously, you think he’d mess with me for you?
She looked towards the door with an intense gaze, sending a cold chill that made Yusuf’s scalp tingle.
“Who do you think you are? Why should I help you?”
Her bright eyes now showed only indifference and coldness.
Jade’s eyes showed shock and anger. She tried to speak, but Hazel cut her off. “Who do you think you are to demand ‘mom‘ from me? Back off.”
“Hazel!” Jade’s voice was angry.
Her anger was checked by the bodyguards and passing doctors. Her eyes were red from holding back.
“There’s another thing.”
Hazel stared at Jade, her eyes full of scrutiny.
“I decided yesterday morning to take the kids to the Campbell’s villa in the evening. How did Lily know?
“She had many people hidden in Emerald Lane, just in time. It’s like someone tipped her off.” Hazel’s gaze made Jade shiver.
The bright sunlight outside made Jade feel uncomfortable, her tense back showing her discomfort.
Even Yusuf at the door went quiet, avoiding her eyes, looking guilty.
Hazel said, “Gianna was there too.”
At that name, Jade’s breath caught, her heart pounding rapidly.
She acted clueless, looking up at Hazel.
“Maybe a servant from the Campbell’s villa leaked it.
“After all, they had to prepare meals for your visit. Someone could have been bribed.” Seeing Jade’s scared look, Hazel felt more sure.
“Is that so?” Hazel asked.
Despite being in a wheelchair, she radiated dominance, striking fear into Jade. “Then I’ll tell Gabriel to check everyone at the Campbell’s villa–calls, money moves, and meetings. We can’t miss anyone.”
Her voice, though soft, had a deep and powerful timbre.
Jade felt guilty and worried, scared.
Yusuf kept signaling Jade from the door, hinting about the ZN Laboratory, but she was too upset
to notice.
When he tried to step forward, a bodyguard blocked him, expressionless. Yusuf felt
stuck.
The breeze outside still held summer’s warmth.

Hazel turned her wheelchair, glanced at Jade, and told the bodyguards, “Escort them out.” Two bodyguards came in and motioned for Jade to leave.
Hazel wanted to slap Jade.
However, she enjoyed keeping Jade in a state of fear and tension.
More importantly, she was better at subtle tactics than direct confrontations.
“Jade, about the lab issue…”
Yusuf started, but Jade dragged him away. She didn’t care about the lab now; she wasn’t even sure she could stay in the Campbell family!
If she had known Gianna was so useless, she wouldn’t have worked with her and wouldn’t be stuck in this mess, trapped by Hazel.
Hazel said, “Wait a second.”
Yusuf’s eyes brightened, thinking she’d changed her mind.
Hazel continued, “Take this chamomile tea box.”
As he left, his gaze lingered on her face and neck. His small eyes were half–closed, filled with horny and filthy thoughts.
Yusuf secretly decided to kidnap Hazel and add her to his house. He thought sleeping with her repeatedly would tame her.
Hazel looked up, sensing the evil and disgusting intent in his murky eyes.
Once the ward was quiet, she quickly messaged John.
“Investigate Jade and Yusuf.”
In the next few days.
Maybe because of Yusuf, Jade tried to visit the hospital twice but was blocked by bodyguards
each time.
She didn’t know her first visit succeeded because Hazel already suspected her of tipping off Gianna and had told the bodyguards to let her in.
After Jaxon and Joshua got better, Hazel asked Gabriel to take them home. She stayed in the hospital for over a week before leaving.
While in the hospital, Hazel had the butler arrange three meals daily for Dylan. She also thought about treatments for his leg.
Eventually, she had an idea.
On the top floor of the Campbell Group building.
Gabriel saw his two sons in the office, with Leila holding their hands, and frowned.
“Where’s your mother?”
