venomous!
With dark snake scales and a triangular snake head, it was Previously, Hazel hit the snake with a stone and made it fall to the ground, which angered it. The snake was about to attack Hazel following the scent when it caught a stronger scent than hers.
The snake immediately stood up and rushed toward the other side.
When Emma noticed the venomous snake swiftly slithering toward her, she immediately let out a scream and was too scared to move.
The people around were also startled by the sudden situation and did not have time to react.
Wesley’s secretary quickly picked up a branch and threw it at the snake, which completely enraged it.
At the critical moment!
Gabriel plucked the hairpin from Hazel’s head, moved swiftly, and threw it at the snake’s vital spot, fast, fierce, and accurate! One hit, one kill!
From childhood to adulthood, Gabriel had scored full marks in all dart and archery events, never missing a single shot.
This time was no exception either!
The venomous snake, which had stood up and was about to attack Emma, had its vital pierced by the hairpin into the ground.

Before dying, the snake’s body kept wriggling, seemingly puzzled about why it had suddenly me its end.
Gabriel moved so quickly that he didn’t realize he had accidentally pulled out a few strands of Hazel’s hair. The place where the hair ends connected to her scalp sent a fleeting pain, making Hazel stunned for a moment.
Hazel and everyone else saw Gabriel’s protection toward Emma at the cost of dirtying Hazel’s favorite hairpin.
Gabriel said, “I’m sorry. I’ll buy you a new one.”
Emma was an employee of the Campbell Group. As the boss, Gabriel could not turn a blind eye to the danger faced by his employees.
Hazel’s hair, which was tied up, fell like smooth silk. Compared to her gentle and capable appearance with her hair tied up, she looked ethereal and graceful, with her long hair cascading
down her shoulders.
Provided that she didn’t show displeasure.
…
Leila’s appreciation for hair was inherited from Hazel.
Hazel’s hair was long, and it was easy for her to lose hair when combing and washing it. Hazel even had several strands pulled out, which made her glare at Gabriel angrily. Seeing Gabriel’s thick and dark hair, Hazel couldn’t help but coldly remark, “I care more about the hair you pulled out than the hairpin.”
Every strand of a girl’s hair was precious!

Gabriel sensed the anger emanating from Hazel, his gaze falling on her dark, shiny, and abundant hair. He pursed his lips, feeling slightly guilty.
Gabriel lowered his head and leaned closer to her, saying, “What about pulling out my hair as compensation?”
Hazel snorted.
He replied casually. Even if Hazel pulled his hair, Gabriel didn’t think there was anything wrong. However, the people around who heard his words looked at Hazel with oddly suspicious expressions.
Hazel stepped back disdainfully and said, “Stay away from me.”
Seeing Hazel not act, Gabriel, who had been bending down, straightened his body. His male secretary had gone to deal with the snake.
After Emma regained her
composure, she exchanged glances with
glances with Wesley. Fortunately, they only arranged one trained venomous snake. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Emma thought she and Wesley’s eye contact was well–hidden but unbeknownst to her, it was seen by Sebastian’s male assistant who had been watching her the whole time.
He quietly noted these anomalies to report back to Sebastian later.
After pushing away the two men, Hazel had been standing on one leg. Seeing the snake killed by Gabriel with her hairpin,
hairpin, she once again avoided his outstretched hand.
Hazel tried to take a couple of steps forward.
Immediately, a piercing pain shot through the ankle.
Gabriel felt nervous and quickly supported her.“Hazel, do I have a virus on me? Why are you so repulsed by me?”
Hazel thought Gabriel was much scarier than a virus. Once she got involved with him, she would suffer.
Hazel had moved on. If someone was into suffering, that was their business.
Anyway, she was unwilling.
Hazel waved her hand and continued to widen the distance between them.
Hazel said slowly, “Men and women should not be too close. You should keep some distance from me, Mr. Campbell.”
Men and women should not be too close?
Gabriel felt a lump in his throat, making him feel uncomfortable.
Gabriel leaned close to Hazel’s ear, lowered his voice, and gritted his teeth, saying, “Do I need to remind you that we have been married for five years and have two sons?”
The strong and domineering aura emanated from Gabriel, causing Hazel to furrow her brows uncomfortably, and her expression subtly changed.
Hazel glanced at the others who discussed how the venomous snake could have appeared here, not hiding her disdain for Gabriel in her eyes.

“If I were the country, I’d open your brain and study it carefully to see what kind of stupid. substance makes up your brain!”
Hazel just couldn’t understand it!
Gabriel was so capable in his work, with thousands of tricks up his sleeve at the negotiation table. But why did he act like a primary school student in his life?
Gabriel gritted his teeth and said, “Hazel!”
“Don’t call me. I know my name sounds nice, but I can’t withstand you calling it out repeatedly. If you have good dental health, eat a few more walnuts, which also give your brain a boost.”
In terms of verbal wit, Gabriel couldn’t match Hazel.
Hazel glanced at Emma, who was secretly looking at her, and couldn’t help but sigh. Gabriel was like the only delicate flower in the green grassland, attracting all the bees within a hundred miles who wanted to gather nectar and pollinate.
Gianna left, and then Emma came. The next one was unknown.
The key was that Hazel and Gabriel had been divorced for over 800
800 days!
Hazel’s daughter was almost two years old!
Any woman who wanted to be Gabriel’s wife always directed their blame toward Hazel, his ex–wife!
Did they think Hazel decided whether Gabriel gave them status ог not?
Hazel took a deep breath and kept reminding herself in her mind to stay graceful and not embarrass herself before others.
She spoke fast, but every word was clear, and even her coldness toward Gabriel was vividly displayed.
“I also remind you that we divorced!”
“What’s the big deal about having two sons? Even if we had two hundred children, you and I are still not on intimate terms!”
Gabriel lowered his gaze and couldn’t find a way to interject.
Sebastian, who was close by, heard their entire conversation. His dark and dense lashes flickered slightly, and he silently took a half–step back, deciding not to fuel Hazel’s anger at that moment.
Sebastian was self–aware. Until he made amends for the harm his family caused Hazel, he was no better than Gabriel in her eyes.
Hazel gently moved her injured ankle.
She chose to walk by herself!
Relying on men was useless. Relying on herself was the most important thing!
At that moment, the Robinson family’s female bodyguard quietly extended her arm. Hazel took advantage of it, soon reaching where the shuttles were waiting.
The survey mission came to an end due to an unexpected encounter with a venomous snake. Emma, originally supposed to sit in the passenger seat, was asked to get off by Matthew.“Ms. Morris, this is my seat.”
Emma paused and said, “I have work to report to Mr. Campbell.”

After speaking, Emma looked at Gabriel’s expression but met a pair of chilling cold eyes. Gabriel stared at her indifferently.
Gabriel said, “Ms. Morris, from now on, you should only handle internal company affairs and hand over the remaining tasks to Ezra.”
Next week, Gabriel was going abroad on a business trip.
If Ezra had not recovered yet, Emma and the male secretary who accompanied him would go with him. Emma clenched her fingertips into her palm, nodded knowingly, and turned to the car behind.
Matthew sat in the passenger seat, and the driver quickly started the car. Several cars arrived at the hotel parking lot simultaneously, and throughout the journey, Gabriel’s face was terrifyingly dark.
Gabriel had not yet gotten out of the car when someone knocked on the window. He glanced out and saw the woman smiling at him, and his slender fingers landed on the door.
Gabriel said, “What’s…” the matter?
The car window was rolled down, and before Gabriel could finish his words, he felt a sudden pain on his scalp. The woman’s slender fingertips held a few strands of dark hair. Hazel’s didn’t hold back her strength just now.
Anyway, it was more forceful than when Gabriel had pulled out her hair!
The pain was more intense, too!
When Hazel saw the few strands of dark hair in her hand, the pent–up frustration in her heart instantly dispersed.
Indeed, when one was upset, one should vent immediately!
Hazel had given Gabriel some face by not pulling his hair at the inspection site. Everything that happened was what Gabriel deserved.
Hazel raised the corners of her mouth and said, “Tit for tat.”
Gabriel always applied some hair gel for formal occasions. Hazel could feel the slightly hardened strands of hair in her palm after styling and discarded them with disdain.
Gabriel was speechless.
