โOkay,โ Anastasia nodded and leaned into her fatherโs shoulder, asking, โSo whereโs Rhea now?โโAlex took her away since she might have some valuable information. Perhaps she can use this opportunity to redeem herself.โ Cameron knew what Alexander and the others were doing and did not object.After all, Rhea had worked for the organization for a long time. Simultaneously, Cameron hoped she would mend her ways and make up for what she did. However, he knew the odds were low.โI never thought so many horrible things would happen around me.โ Gazing ahead, Anastasia said sadly, โIf I hadnโt gotten infected, I wouldnโt have realized how scary the virus is.โHer words reminded Cameron of what she had been through. โAre you sure youโre feeling okay now? Sit up and let me look at you.โAnastasia spread her arms, saying, โIโm okay, see? They wouldnโt have discharged me if I was still sick. Besides, they gave me a thorough examination at the hospital. Not only am I curedโI also feel better

In the past, Anastasia would get upset whenever her father left for work. Now, she nodded and said, โGo do your thing, Dad. I know they are important.โCameron looked at her proudly when he noticed how sensible she had become. He said, โItโs okay. Letโs send you home first.โWhen they arrived, Cameron waited until his daughter entered the house and closed the door. However, as he was about to leave, Anastasia thought of something and turned back to run over, saying, โDad!โCameron saw her hesitating and asked warmly, โWhat is it?โโI havenโt heard from Lily for a long time. I know Alex said she had something important to do, but I canโt shake the feeling she might be in danger. Can you give them a hand, Dad?โ Although Anastasia seldom asked anything from her dad, she was worried this time.Cameron looked at her profoundly and nodded. โDonโt worry. Iโll think of ways to help them. Donโt forget, theyโre no ordinary people. Iโm sure theyโll be fine.โAnastasia felt relieved and happ

It was Austinโs first time meeting Cameron, so the former wondered how Cameron seemed to recognize him.Cameron noticed his puzzled expression and said, โDr. Blanc told me youโre a rare talent. โDr. Blanc said youโre a rare talent. Keep up the good work, and donโt let him down.โAustin was surprised Dr. Blanc would speak so highly about him to others, especially to someone like Cameron. Austin saluted solemnly, exclaiming, โYes, sir!โAlexanderโs lips twitched. โThis way, Cameron.โAlexander let Cameronโs aide serve the tea when they sat in the spacious home office. After all, Cameron seldom drank or ate anything outside for safety reasons.That was why Alexander suspected something was off when Cameron got kidnapped back then. He wondered how Rhea drugged and took Cameron away even though he had been so cautious and carefully guarded.As it turned out, his suspicion was correctโit was part of Cameronโs plan, which was grander than Alexander had imagined. โSo, is the mastermind

โWe locked her up in the backyard,โ Alexander said, โWould you like to see her?โHe thought Cameron would not want to do that after what she had done to him.After some thought, Cameron stood up and said, โI guess I should.โSoon after, they arrived at the outhouse, and Alexander unlocked the door to enter first. Although he used the area to imprison Rhea, it was clean and did not stink. He looked inside and saw Rhea sitting against the wall in a daze.She seemed discouraged for the past few days as if she had nothing to live for. However, she was lively when she tried talking terms with Alexander. It was like she had a split personality.Alexander approached her and stopped Cameron from getting too close. โRhea.โShe blinked and smiled slightly. โWhy? Did you change your mind? If youโre not here to discuss working with me, fuck off! I donโt want to see you.โโWell, thereโs someone whoโd like to see you.โ Alexander stepped aside.Rhea was disinterested in knowing who the visito

Rhea knew what had happened to her father but did not care about him. Although Cameron knew she was ruthless, he did not expect her to treat her parents like nothing. โArenโt you worried about him?โ he could not help but ask with a frown.Rhea sneered, โI canโt even save myself. Besides, heโs too dumb to do business in a dog-eat-dog world. He should thank me for helping him sustain his business for so long.โHer words shocked Cameron and Alexander. Rhea noticed it and sat upright before saying, โI might sound harsh, but Iโm speaking the truth. If you feel sorry for my dad, why donโt you just let him go? Would it make a difference if I pleaded on his behalf?โโHeโs only in trouble because of you,โ Cameron murmured. Rhea laughed. โWhat a joke! He would have gotten arrested long ago if it weren't for me. As you know, heโs done many stupid things over the years. It was just a matter of time before he ended up in jail, right?โYou should blame the timing instead. If we couldโve pu

Things had been strange at the embassy over the past two days. Although the staff continued their work as usual, they turned away almost all visitors and postponed most scheduled activities.The official explanation was an internal reshuffle of work for two days. However, according to a rumor, some embassy personnel had contracted a virus during the sanitation work. Some also heard the embassy had tried sweeping it under the rug to contain the commotion.No one knew where the gossip had originated, but it had also left the other foreign embassies uneasy. After all, the pandemic in Burnwken had only just ended.After witnessing or experiencing the pandemic, people wondered what would happen if another outbreak occurred. It caused everyone to be on edge, with each embassy starting its own investigations. Some even demanded an explanation from the Hyderland government.Puzzled by the rumor, the government tried to ask about it from the Yudonian embassy. However, the embassy continuo

Lily put down her fork and knife, picked up a spoon, and cut into a cake. She ate it and closed her eyes to savor it.โIt seems Iโve been too kind to you.โ Fred stormed over and swept the food onto the floor. The cup and plates shattered when they landed.Lily gazed at him and casually licked the cream off her spoon. Meanwhile, the aide heard the noise and nearly ran upstairs to see what had happened. However, he stood rooted because Fred told him to stay downstairs no matter what.Fred was livid when he saw how calm Lily was. He would have strangled her if he did not need her. Worse, Lilyโs following words would further provoke him.She put down her spoon and looked at him before looking at his hand that had swept off the food. She said, โYour arm has healed, huh?โLily intentionally reminded him who had injured his arm.Fredโs arm had healed after using a splint for a few days, but it would still feel sore whenever he used it. Still, it was nothing compared to another thing Lil

Fred could not figure out when Lily made the poison. After all, he had kept her under tight watch, using many surveillance cameras and listening devices.โDoes it matter how I made it?โ Lily smiled. โMaybe I know magic?โFred was speechless. He saw her smile and released her, no longer as fierce as before. He groaned and slowly crouched in pain, one hand palming his stomach.Lily was not surprised to see that. She turned slightly and looked down at him. โDo you feel discomfort?โFred did not answer.โDo you feel a burning sensation in your chest every noon? Youโre hungry, but you donโt feel like eating, huh? Do you have severe diarrhea while your stomach hurts like hell?โ Lily resembled a concerned doctor trying to diagnose him.Fred bit his lower lip, not answering. However, he knew she had perfectly described all his symptoms. Besides confirming Lily had poisoned him, he had been away due to illness.He did not take it seriously when he felt nauseous and threw up on the first

Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, โThereโs something I find strange.โโWhat is it?โ Mike asked after comforting his son.โInstead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldnโt we reach him?โAfter some thought, Mike answered, โThere are two possibilities. Itโs probably due to poor signals, or he doesnโt want us to contact him.โThe two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.โWhy canโt we contact Ross? Is he planning something?โโฆThree days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queenโs leg and looked up at her, saying, โYou should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, itโll take some time before you can stand.โSuddenly, Lily chuckled.โWhy are you laughing?โ 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, โOf course, you wouldnโt.โโThatโsโฆ quite a pity,โ the queen murmured thoughtfully.โWell, thereโs a price to pay for everything. Thatโs how the world balances itself,โ Lily continued, โI canโt stop you if you must carry on with R10. Still, I wonโt witness whether or not it succeeds. I just wish the outcome isnโt something youโll regret.โLily 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 Yasminโs legs. โYour Majesty, those needlesโโThe queen waved dismissively. โItโs okay. Lily will remove them later.โEven so, Rick was wary. โYouโre being too careless, Your Majesty. What if that womanโโโShe wouldnโt,โ 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.โTell me. What do you want?โ The queen took a deep breath to calm herself. She then reminded herself that she could always say no to Lilyโs 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 donโt 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 wasnโt sure if youโd blame him, but he did rescue me once. If I don't do anything, it would be ungrateful of me," Lily said gently, "Also, didnโt 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.โThatโs it?!โ 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.โI havenโt felt my legs for over a decade. I wouldnโt mind waiting for three more days.โโAre you sure I can get up and walk in just three days?โ 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, โI canโt guarantee that youโll walk as fast as you once could. After all, you havenโt used your legs for a long time, and your muscles have atrophied. Still, youโll recover slowly.โYasmin nodded repeatedly, thinking it was good enough. She never dreamed of walking as well a

โBecause only our opinions matter." Lily thought of something and said, "Unless you choose to believe Rhea.""Iโฆ don't trust anyone." Yasminโs 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? Youโve done enough as a queen over the last few decades. Arenโt you tired of living a lonely life?โLily gently spoke as she gazed at Yasminโs back.The older woman caressed her knees with both hands and stared down at her legs, murmuring, โSightsee, huh? Iโve forgotten what thatโs like.โYasmin 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 Lilyโs suggestion.Lily asked, โWhat 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 couldnโt 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 whoโs willing to die for him. If Mike decides to take drastic action against youโ Yes, you're a queen, and you don't care much about an insignificant businessman.โHowever, 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?""Youโฆ" The queen was exasperated but could not retort.Lily noticed it and casually said

Rick could only remain silent at that moment.Yasmin then turned her wheelchair around and blandly said, โBring Lily over. Iโd like to see what excuses that sly woman can come up with.โ"Your Majesty?" Rick was puzzled. "You know she'll just lie to you. Why must youโ"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, โHer Majesty wants to see you.โLily 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. โYou stay.โ"But we came together!" Mike glanced over his shoulder at Lily, signaling her to persuade the man. Rick added, "The queen doesnโt 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 queenโs 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, โIf any of you go with her, they might stop or suspect you. They wonโt do that to me. Itโs natural for me to want to see and rescue my son. Iโm the best candidate because it makes sense for me to sacrifice myself for him.โAfter a short silence, Lily said, โYouโre right.โ She then looked at Alexander, who pondered before slowly raising his head and saying, โMe too.โDominic 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, โThanks, you guys!โ"Why are you thanking us? Just be careful, and donโt be rash like you promised," Aust
