Chapter 102

Author: Luminous Night
Nathaniel was surprised when he received a call from Eloise, but he had no reason to refuse her help. He only wished for Frank to solve his company's problems and help them succeed.

When they went to pick Frank up at night, Melanie's attitude toward him changed completely. Earlier, she was unsure if he was a true perfumer or a conman, but she felt more assured knowing that Eloise got him to help them.

Eloise belonged to Emerald City's elite social circle, where the rich and powerful congregated. Melanie was sure Frank could assist them because he had connections with people at the top of their respective fields.

"Mr. Moreau, we're glad you're here to help us!" Melanie offered to pour him a drink.

She was wearing a maroon, strapless dress close to the color of the bottle of wine. Frank remained neutral toward their acts of currying favor. "Ms. Neville helped me before this, and it's my turn to repay her now. I'll fulfill whatever that I promised to do."

Nathaniel nodded quickly. "

    “Oh?” Frank raised his brows, waiting for her to continue.“I’m sure you know that a slight difference in the usage of ingredients will produce different results. Lily changed the formula first and even asked her assistant to make other changes secretly. Also, I haven’t been feeling well and got a runny nose, so they took advantage of that. We had no choice but to trouble you, Mr. Moreau,” Melanie explained, her gaze lowered the whole time, and it looked like she was on the verge of tears.She looked upset, and that look of hers would make people take pity on her. Frank watched her while his fingers tapped the table gently. They did not know what was on his mind nor how much he believed Melanie’s words.Nathaniel came back to his senses and supported Melanie. “She’s right. Mr. Moreau, Mel has been working too hard because of the company’s problems recently, making her sick because of exhaustion. Lily found out about this and took the opportunity to strike. Our factory received many

    Frank’s expression remained the same. He leaned in to smell the essential oil and slightly frowned before he scanned the formula. Then a faint smile appeared on his face. “It’s a stupid trick!”Although Frank’s voice was soft, Nathaniel heard him and asked excitedly, “Mr. Moreau, does that mean you know how to adjust the formula?”“Adjust it? No, there’s no need for that because this isn’t the formula.” Frank waved and loosened his grip on the piece of paper, which dropped to the ground soon after.“This isn’t the formula?” Not only Nathaniel but everyone around him was dumbfounded.“That’s impossible! We’ve tried many times, and the scents are similar but with a tiny difference. If this isn’t the formula, how could the two smell so alike?” someone raised their doubts.The staff knew Nathaniel had brought Frank here, but none knew his identity. Hence, what Frank said earlier made everyone doubt his abilities. Frank just smiled contemptuously. “It’s not because I said so.” He did

    As Nathaniel had been busy solving the issue of the essential oil, he had no time to care about Lily and the lawsuit for the time being. At this time, Lily had already started a new work schedule.Compared to the chaos caused on the internet before this, MN Inc. withdrew from the lawsuit quietly. The netizens, who were waiting for the outcome, felt displeased that the matter just died down this way.There were controversies over the matter. Some said that MN Inc. withdrew the lawsuit because they were guilty and chose to let Lily go freely. In the face of doubts from the public, Lily’s only response on her Twitter was, “For justice will prevail. I do not care.”Those simple words managed to attract many new fans for Lily. She was not concerned about how the matter developed on the internet as she was not a celebrity and found it unnecessary to manage her fans. To her, it was most important to focus on her work and keep creating new products. Jenny called Lily into her office early

    Lily never told Alexander that she preferred a quiet environment instead of the commotion of large groups of people. Lily had assumed that someone like Alexander would be surrounded by servants who busied around the house.She had no idea that he was nothing like that. There was no one in the house apart from the regular cleaner. The place was quiet, and he even did the cooking. Even though it felt a little deserted, she liked the feeling of not being disturbed.There was a pot of fruit tea brewing and a few delicate cookies lying on a small saucer beside it. Alexander was adamant about not letting her into the kitchen, so she had no choice but to abandon the idea and only sat obediently.There were seven or eight little perfume bottles on the coffee table in front of her, all of which were newly launched. She sat silently for a moment after preparing a glass of water, some paper towels, and mint leaves. The recent troubles with Nathaniel, among others, made it hard for her to calm

    Although they were marketed as something new, the original formulas were unchanged. At most, they adjusted the ratio. They were nothing new, which was disappointing as she thought there would be some unexpected discovery. It was a matter of luck.“If it’s so easy to discover something, then everyone could easily be a top perfumer.” Alexander grabbed her and took her into his arms. “Have you eaten?”“I have,” Lily replied. When she saw the look in his eyes, she hurriedly explained, “I didn’t go into the kitchen. I got off work early today and ate out.”“Why didn’t you wait for me?” He narrowed his eyes and asked with a sad tone.“I-I was hungry earlier.” It was a small matter, but it felt like she had made a mistake. Lily glanced at him and tried to take out her phone to order. “You haven’t eaten? How about ordering takeout?” “I don’t want takeout. Go out to dinner with me!”“I’ve already eaten!”“Then, you can accompany me while I eat!” Alexander said with a smug smile. Lily we

    As soon as the words left her, she felt she had asked a foolish question. Why would he not know? Being in the same company as your husband was not ideal, especially if he was your boss. Worst of all, if anything went wrong, he would find out right away. She sighed and looked upset, "Since you’re aware, you should also know that this was the company's arrangement. Since I’m a small employee, of course, I have to obey the arrangement." "Why do I hear resentment in your words? If you don't want to go..."Before he could finish, Lily interrupted quickly, "Who said I didn’t want to go? I just haven't had the time to tell you, not because I didn’t want to." "The temperature changes a lot from morning to night in Middle Valley, so remember to bring a jacket," he replied, not wanting to continue the topic. Lily was a little surprised. She thought he would raise a different opinion but did not expect it to go so smoothly. Nonetheless, since the company arranged it

    Nathaniel smiled helplessly, “I’m sure you know I treat you as my treasure, so don’t be willful, okay? Still, I don’t like the way he looks at you.”Any woman would be thrilled to hear these words of jealousy. Melanie smiled, squinted, and then drilled into Nathaniel’s arms. “You’re so jealous. I haven’t seen you like this for a long time, so I’m happy! However, I still think I should go with Mr. Moreau,” she said half-jokingly.“How dare you?!” With his arms around Melanie’s neck, Nathaniel replied ferociously, “I’ll break your legs if you dare run off with him!” “Ooh, how fierce of you, Mr. Hall.” Melanie bit her tongue as she remembered something. She looked shy as she continued, “You shouldn’t worry so much. Even if Mr. Moreau has feelings for me, nothing will happen. Especially since

    Melanie playfully shook her waist, "Why won’t you trust me?""If you don’t want that, go if you want to. I’m done arguing.” Nathaniel did not want to see Melanie act coquettishly and argue any longer, as that was his bottom line.However, he also wanted to go to Middle Valley because he heard there would be quite a few industry professionals attending. In addition to participating, Nathaniel wanted to win over some talents and hire them to work for MN Inc.Lily’s actions gave MN Inc. a lot of trouble, and Nathaniel was aware of the importance of talents. He knew he had to recruit more talented perfumers so that the company could defend itself against challengers. It was a terrible experience, after all.Nonetheless, there was an issue with the essential oils, and Nathaniel had to be present at the company to test them repeatedly. He knew the formula must not have any mistakes and had to monitor it himself, so he could not be absent.Still, it would be beneficial for Melanie to go

    Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, “There’s something I find strange.”“What is it?” Mike asked after comforting his son.“Instead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldn’t we reach him?”After some thought, Mike answered, “There are two possibilities. It’s probably due to poor signals, or he doesn’t want us to contact him.”The two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.‘Why can’t we contact Ross? Is he planning something?’
Three days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queen’s leg and looked up at her, saying, “You should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, it’ll take some time before you can stand.”Suddenly, Lily chuckled.“Why are you laughing?” Yasmin touched her legs. She had begun to regain sensation in her legs over the last two days. She then began to believe that she could get up. However, the queen was hesitant when the queen heard Lily chuckle.Lily shook her head

    Lily straightened up and said without resentment, “Of course, you wouldn’t.”“That’s
 quite a pity,” the queen murmured thoughtfully.“Well, there’s a price to pay for everything. That’s how the world balances itself,” Lily continued, “I can’t stop you if you must carry on with R10. Still, I won’t witness whether or not it succeeds. I just wish the outcome isn’t something you’ll regret.”Lily smiled and turned to head out the door.Rick heard their conversation as he stood guard outside. After exchanging looks with Lily as she brushed past him, he entered the room and saw the needles in Yasmin’s legs. “Your Majesty, those needles—”The queen waved dismissively. “It’s okay. Lily will remove them later.”Even so, Rick was wary. “You’re being too careless, Your Majesty. What if that woman—”“She wouldn’t,” Yasmin interjected, shaking her head."Why do you trust her so much?" Rick asked despite himself. The queen fell silent. If Rick had not asked her that, she would not have rea

    Lily took out a cloth and unfolded it, revealing a row of silver needles inside. Yasmin was surprised she carried the needles with her.“Tell me. What do you want?” The queen took a deep breath to calm herself. She then reminded herself that she could always say no to Lily’s request. Still, Yasmin was cautious about Lily trying to trick her.Lily casually said, "I left because Prince Ross wanted to help me. I hope you don’t punish him.""That's it?" Yasmin thought she had misheard Lily. 'Is she trying to talk terms with me just so that I won't punish my son?' she wondered in disbelief."Ross is my son. I won't harm him. Don't you think you've wasted an opportunity by making such a request?" The queen shook her head. "I wasn’t sure if you’d blame him, but he did rescue me once. If I don't do anything, it would be ungrateful of me," Lily said gently, "Also, didn’t you already lock him up?"Yasmin was puzzled. "No, I only sent him back to Yudonia. He kept trying to get me to sto

    "Three days," Lily replied.“That’s it?!” Yasmin was in disbelief. She thought Lily would try to buy some more time and suspected she would say the process would take several months or even years.‘I haven’t felt my legs for over a decade. I wouldn’t mind waiting for three more days.’“Are you sure I can get up and walk in just three days?” Yasmin pressed her legs hard but felt nothing. She would have treated her legs long ago if it were that easy.The queen had visited many famous doctors from various countries, but they could only stop her legs from getting weaker. However, Lily confidently told Yasmin that she could fix her legs so quickly.Yasmin wanted to believe it.After some consideration, Lily said, “I can’t guarantee that you’ll walk as fast as you once could. After all, you haven’t used your legs for a long time, and your muscles have atrophied. Still, you’ll recover slowly.”Yasmin nodded repeatedly, thinking it was good enough. She never dreamed of walking as well a

    “Because only our opinions matter." Lily thought of something and said, "Unless you choose to believe Rhea.""I
 don't trust anyone." Yasmin’s expression stiffened as she turned her wheelchair away."Your Majesty, I know you're dedicated to the experiment, but there are other things in life. Have you ever considered letting go of your burden to sightsee? You’ve done enough as a queen over the last few decades. Aren’t you tired of living a lonely life?”Lily gently spoke as she gazed at Yasmin’s back.The older woman caressed her knees with both hands and stared down at her legs, murmuring, “Sightsee, huh? I’ve forgotten what that’s like.”Yasmin had not used her legs for many years. Initially, she could still stand up and sometimes took a few steps. However, she could no longer get to her feet.She had grown accustomed to sitting in a wheelchair, but she felt a pang of sorrow after hearing Lily’s suggestion.Lily asked, “What if I can help you stand again? What if you can walk a

    "Yes, I returned not just for him but also for you," Lily said, "I'm sure you were anxious for my return, weren't you?"Yasmin scoffed dismissively. "Why would I be? I have my bargaining chip. Besides, did you honestly think I couldn’t bring you back?""Bargaining chip? Do you mean Nick?" Lily shook her head with a smile. "Don't forget that he's not my son. Do you think he'll be much of a bargaining chip to you if I choose to ignore him for my three children?"She did not wait for Yasmin to reply and continued, "Besides, Nick still has a father who’s willing to die for him. If Mike decides to take drastic action against you— Yes, you're a queen, and you don't care much about an insignificant businessman.“However, don't forget that his business spans worldwide. There's no guarantee what he might do. Who knows, he might spread information that can affect Your Majesty and Yudonia's reputation?""You

    Rick could only remain silent at that moment.Yasmin then turned her wheelchair around and blandly said, “Bring Lily over. I’d like to see what excuses that sly woman can come up with.”"Your Majesty?" Rick was puzzled. "You know she'll just lie to you. Why must you—"Yasmin interjected, "I'd like to hear what she has to say."Rick had no choice but to leave and do as she said.As Lily was about to doze off, she heard noises from outside and opened her eyes. Immediately after, the door opened, and Rick appeared. He glared at her and spoke coldly, “Her Majesty wants to see you.”Lily glanced at Rick calmly and stood up as if she had expected his appearance. On the other hand, Mike rose before her and headed out.However, Rick stopped him as he reached the door. “You stay.”"But we came together!" Mike glanced over his shoulder at Lily, signaling her to persuade the man. Rick added, "The queen doesn’t wish to see you. Just stay here!"Lily patted Mike's shoulder and said gentl

    Everyone was shocked when Lily returned to the embassy with Mike. One of the staff members quickly left to report the news to Queen Yasmin.Meanwhile, Lily saw people peering at her and Mike from the corner. Afterward, several guarded-looking men appeared. Lilt recognized them as the queen’s attendants. They brought Mike and Lily inside and then gave the duo a thorough search.The men only relaxed after finding nothing suspicious about the duo. Even so, Lily could not see the queen as the men told her to wait in an innermost room instead.After returning to the embassy, Lily felt a sense of strange familiarity. Although she knew the place well, her mindset had changed.She previously hated the embassy and simply wanted to escape. However, she had returned with a critical mission. Not only did she have to complete it, but she also needed to leave the place in one piece.While she was calm, Mike was somewhat anxious. He clasped his hands on his knees and glanced around as he sat dow

    "I promise I'll do anything you want, okay?" Mike begged. He was desperate to see his son, so he decided to follow Lily when she insisted on returning to the embassy.Mike continued, “If any of you go with her, they might stop or suspect you. They won’t do that to me. It’s natural for me to want to see and rescue my son. I’m the best candidate because it makes sense for me to sacrifice myself for him.”After a short silence, Lily said, “You’re right.” She then looked at Alexander, who pondered before slowly raising his head and saying, “Me too.”Dominic tapped the table. "So do I."Cameron thought for a moment before saying, "I've no objections."Seeing this, Austin spread his arms and said, "Since you all agree, what else can I say? Let's do it!"It did not matter whether or not he agreed, but he just wanted to support Mike. The latter nodded and became emotional, saying, “Thanks, you guys!”"Why are you thanking us? Just be careful, and don’t be rash like you promised," Aust
