โWhat do you mean, Eloise?โ Elizabeth asked as she picked up the phone again. She was a bit skeptical of what Eloise wanted to relay, but since it involved her son, Elizabeth decided to continue listening.โNothing. If you get Joseph to answer the call, Iโll talk to him. I won't say anything if you choose not to pass him the phone. Your son has confessed he was responsible for everything, and Iโve spoken to my lawyer. Youโd probably have to wait till heโs 40 for him to get out of prison!โElizabeth was frightened by what Eloise had just said. She yelled angrily, โStop trying to scare me! My son did nothing wrong! You and your daughter are the ones who framed him!โ Even though Elizabeth tried to sound harsh, she still passed the phone over to Joseph, saying, โTake it! If she calls again, Iโll throw your phone out the window!โโWhat do you want, Eloise?!โ Joseph asked impatiently.โDo you know that your brother left the hospital?โ Eloise did not even bother to say hi and went straigh

Eloise paused before continuing, โTry your best to gain as many shares as you can, and also try to liquidity those shares into cash, understood?โโMom, thatโs illegal.โ Ariannaโs heart skipped a beat after hearing what her mother said.โTry your best to do it as cleanly as possible. Make something illegal seem legal,โ Eloise explained nonchalantly. โThis was something that frequently happened in the past. However, you must ensure you do this fast. Iโm worried your uncle might be planning something. Make sure you get your people to man the lobby entrance,โ Eloise instructed.โOkay, I understand,โ Arianna replied nervously. It felt like she was preparing for a colossal war.โAri, we can only depend on ourselves now. Wait, thereโs still Nate. Iโll ask him to help,โ Although Eloise could no longer salvage her relationship with her husband, she still had her children, and that was enough.On the other hand, Joseph sat in a trance after Eloise hung up on him. He could only return to his

Unlike the Tanner family, Lilyโs week had been relatively peaceful. The paparazzi had stationed themselves outside her studio but could not get anything on her since she barely left her workplace.She only traveled back and forth between home and her studio. Moreover, Alexander and Lily had made their relationship public long ago, so the media had even less to dig into. Ultimately, the paparazzi voluntarily left since there was nothing to do.On the other hand, there was finally news about the Perfumersโ Society, as officials had decided to investigate them. News about them caused a massive stir regarding the societyโs integrity, such as Lawrence being the societyโs qualified advisor and whether the other members had accepted bribery during competitions.This issue had caused public outrage, and officials had no choice but to look into it.The Perfumersโ Society now faced possible dissolution as the public had negative impressions of most of its perfumers. Therefore, some members s

โHello, is this Ms. Lily speaking?" The person calling spoke to Lily fluently in English.Lily froze for a moment before nodding. "Yes, this is her."The caller responded straightforwardly, "Iโm calling to inquire about the perfume one of the models from Aisha Agency used in Bryxton Cityโs fashion show. You were the one who devised and developed the themed series, am I right?โLily asked, "Where did you get that information?"Hearing her vigilance, the caller laughed and said, "Ms. Christian, please don't misunderstand. We have no malicious intentions. Weโre from Grandeur. Weโre very interested in your perfume and want to discuss a collaboration with you. Do you have some free time?""Grandeur?โโThe world's largest perfume brand and company?โ"That's right. We're the Grandeur you're thinking of. W-Weโre not scammers and are interested in your perfumes. Look, can we discuss this sometime?" The Grandeur representative seemed to be able to guess Lilyโs thoughts.Lily pondered for

The representative probably did not expect Lily to refuse directly. They were taken aback for a moment. "Ms. Christian, why don't you consider our offer first?"This offer was so tempting that the representative believed almost nobody would refuse. However, Lily did not even bother to listen. "Oh, thatโs okay. I won't sell them, no matter what the offer is. Thank you for your appreciation, goodbye."Lily was about to hang up after speaking neatly. Still, the representative could not help but say another sentence, "Ms. Christian, we appreciate those perfumes, but I hope you also know that no matter how talented you are, you can't do much alone.โOur company can provide the most powerful platform, and as far as we know, your situation in Hyderland is not doing well. It's hard to say whether you can continue to work in this industry.""Your company wonโt have to worry about me. Thank you for your concern, goodbye." Then Lily hung up without any hesitation."Don't you ever consider th

Lily followed the police to the station but did not know much about the current situation.Since the police knew about her relationship with Alexander, they were very polite. Still, she was not fully convicted. The officers took her to a room and served her a cup of hot tea before sitting for interrogation."Ms. Christian, we heard from Mr. Damian that he had bribed you. He also accused you of adding harmful ingredients to the Victory perfume. Is that right?โ The officer asked."I did no such thing," Lily said lightly, "I don't know him either. Frankly, I didn't know who he was until the Tanner Corporation accused me.""If you haven't done anything wrong, why did Mr. Damian single you out? Do you have any grudges against Mr. Damian or the Tanners?" The officer asked again.Lily replied calmly, "No. As for why Mr. Damian accused me, you need to ask him. In addition, I believe all the evidence he listed, including photos and recordings, etcetera, can be used for forensic identificat

Somehow, someone bailed Damian out of jail.Nathaniel appeared at the police station wearing a neat suit and looking energetic. โI'm here to bail Mr.Damian out. By the way, I also want to report someone.""Who do you want to report?" The officer frowned as he thought the Tanner family was going in circles with this incident. It was so troublesome."I want to report Ms. Arianna, the Tanner Corporationโs vice president, for threatening Damian to give a false testimony."The surrounding police officers looked at each other in surprise.โฆAfter a while, Damian saw Nathaniel and smiled. When Lily exited her interrogation room, she saw those two and was shocked. However, everything made sense to her after some thought. Nathaniel had joined Tanner Corporation, so it was not unusual for him and Damian to get together. It was not a strange thing at first, but suddenly a light flashed in her mind, and many things came together. Everything connected as Lily became more aware of the situat

Although Lily did not have a great impression of Arianna, she knew Nathaniel was not a reasonable person either.โI see. Thatโs how it is.โ She appeared to have come to a sudden realization and smiled at Damian. โThe Tanner family sounds complicated.โDamian did not know how to respond to that.โAs for youโฆโ Lily looked at Nathaniel and took a step closer to him. While looking into his eyes, she asked, โWhatโs your role in all of this? A helper? An accomplice? Or are you merely seeking justice for him because of the unfairness he went through?โโI found out about this after getting the evidence, and I donโt want to see so many innocent people get dragged into this. Thatโs all. I know you have a deep prejudice against me, but trust me, this time. Arianna was the one who planned this.โโHeโs right!โ Damian nodded fervently by the side.โItโs all because of that woman! If it werenโt for her, I wouldnโt have suffered so much and fallen from the top of the pyramid overnight. I wouldnโ

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?
