Nathaniel gradually put away his worried and concerned expression as his face turned sullen. He stared at Lily and asked, โAre you threatening me?โโI only want what I deserve.โ Lilyโs request was straightforward. She was not greedy but could no longer hand over what belonged to her to others.โHaha.โ Nathaniel felt a little stuffy, so he casually loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirtโs top button. He stared down at Lily, arms akimbo, saying, โWhat do you deserve? Over the past few years, I paid for all your food, clothes, and rent. What else do you think you deserve?โLily looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before her and thought of how ridiculous Nathaniel looked. How could this man so casually assert his reasoning to such a degree so righteously? It angered her to the point where she laughed aloud.However, she was not angry at Nathaniel but at herself. How blind was she to fall in love and become fascinated by such a man over the years? She wondered why she could no

Nathaniel held his cigarette in one hand, tilted his head, scratched his scalp with his pinky finger, and walked toward her slowly, โStill, I must be courteous enough and make the stakes clear to you. Since you insist on being so stubborn and disobedient, I have no choice but to calm you down first. Then we can talk.โHe raised his chin, glanced at his men, and turned around. For such a simple matter, he felt no need to do it himself. Immediately after, he heard wind whirring and the faint sound of fists and feet colliding with bodies behind him. Nathaniel frowned and was about to turn around to tell his men to be more discrete. He wondered why his two bodyguards had so much trouble dealing with a woman.However, he froze in place just as he turned to his side. A sharp wind blew across his cheeks, and at the same time, he felt a sharp blade on his neck. The blade glinted with a frigid light, and Nathaniel could feel the cold steel. Sweat from his sideburns trickled down his cheeks as

โWhy are you here?โ Even though she asked, Lily was quite pleased to see Alexander at that moment.Alexander glanced at Lily, thoughtfully turned down the air conditioner in the back console, took a shawl, and put it around her. โDid you get into trouble lately?โ By his estimation, Lily should have exited the building long ago. Alexander almost wanted to get out of the car to check on her himself.โItโs no big deal.โ Lily gestured with her fingers, indicating no problem, but after raising her hand, she pulled her injury and involuntarily hissed. Hearing her gasp, Alexander frowned and pulled Lily closer. โAre you hurt?โ His expression was grim, his tone even grimmer. The fact that he was pissed showed on his face.Lily quickly explained, โN-No, I just havenโt stretched my muscles for a long time. I feel a little sore, thatโs all.โ Lily was afraid Alexander would not believe her, so she turned to face him, saying, โIf you donโt believe me, just look. Where am I injured?โAlexander s

Over the past few days, Alexander did for her things Nathaniel had never done and was incapable of doing in the last few years. โThatโs becauseโฆ you are my wife.โWhile saying this, Alexander leaned in to kiss Lily on the lips. Although she was a little shy, she did not move away, and her response greatly encouraged Alexander.He pursed his lips in satisfaction and deepened the kiss.โฆWhen Nathaniel returned home, he felt defeated and humiliated. He never imagined one day he would be threatened with a knife to the neck, let alone by Lily!Why was Lily so good at boxing, and when did she learn it? How could he have been unaware of the fact? That said, what else did he not know about her? Crunch! He had stepped on a piece of debris. Melanie sat on the living room sofa amid the mess, holding a cushion in her arms. Seeing Nathaniel, she raised her arm and hurled the cushion toward him. โI thought youโd never come back!โNathaniel dodged, and the cushion hit the door behind him

Nathaniel was not kidding. Soon, he put up a lawyer's letter on the company homepage in which he threatened legal action against Lily, demanded an apology, and sought compensation for the company's financial losses.Not only was the letter posted on MN Inc.โs website, but platforms such as Twitter and Reddit all had the same statement. MN Inc. appeared to be taking this seriously. Given that MN Inc. was taking such a firm stance while Rebirth was utterly silent, the public opinion quickly became one-sided. Although the press conference events were bewildering, and some people had begun to believe in Lily's innocence, they soon changed their minds after reading MN Inc.'s statement.If Rebirth was innocent, why were they silent? Why did Lily fail to produce any favorable evidence?Faced with MN Inc.โs accusation, Lily maintained a low profile, but she answered by reposting MN Inc.โs statement and lawyerโs letter with the caption, โBring it on.โThe caption seemed understated but

However, Rebirth was just a subsidiary of La Beautรฉ Group, and its relationship with the parent company was ambiguous. No one from Rebirth had yet to express any support for Lily.Olivia felt uneasy. Under Nathaniel's constant urging, she returned to the office to investigate what had transpired.Meanwhile, Lily officially reported for duty at Rebirth. Although they had negotiated a deal, the contract had not been signed. An appointment was made the day before for Lily to come in for work. According to Alexander, Lily should familiarize herself with the company before officially starting work. Owing to Lily's vehement insistence, Alexander did not intervene too much. He left it to Edward Sullivan to handle Lily's onboarding. Even so, Lily knew that her arrival would not be peaceful.Walking through the office, Lily arrived at the general manager's office. Three people were waiting inside, two of whom she had met."Mr. Will."Sitting in the middle was George Will, the general m

George could not tolerate others questioning him like this. โMs. Gray, mind your words,โ George said with a darkened expression.โThereโs nothing wrong with my words. Iโm just speaking my mind. I donโt know Ms. Christianโs background, but I will never let a plagiarist into my team!โ After saying this, Jenny Gray turned and left the office.โM-Ms. Gray! W-Waitโฆโ The human resources manager could not stop Jenny and sighed embarrassedly. โMs. Gray is short-tempered and blunt with her words, Mr. Will. However, she is doing this for the good of the company. Please donโt mind her attitude.โโWould she still be the project manager if I minded her attitude?โ George shook his head and turned toward Lily, saying, โYou shouldn't take her words seriously too. Thatโs just how Ms. Gray is, but youโll get to know her better. She has a kind heart, even though she has a bad temper and is overly blunt. I think you two will be able to work together and get along well in the future.โโGet along, huh?โ

Anthony opened the door and peeked his head in. โMr. Hall, Olivia Hart is here.โ โLet her in.โ Nathaniel nodded. Olivia put away her phone awkwardly and entered the office with a forced smile. โForget it. Itโs better to check the situation first before telling Lily.โโM-Mr. Hall.โ After addressing Nathaniel rather stiffly, Olivia stood by the side silently while waiting for him to speak. To be honest, Olivia did not like Nathaniel very much. She followed Lily for quite some time as the duo buried themselves with work in the laboratory.Olivia had always thought of herself as diligent, as she was one of the most hardworking students during her school days. Only after following Lily did Olivia find someone as hardworking as her. The duo would be so engrossed with lab work that they sometimes forgot to eat and sleep.Olivia had even lost count of times when she helplessly fell asleep in the laboratory. Even when she woke up, she saw Lily still recording, analyzing, and researching

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
