Chapter 883

Author: Luminous Night
No longer a young man, Joseph yowled in pain as he received Nathanielโ€™s kicks. โ€œHelp! Help!โ€

Yet no help was forthcoming. Nathanielโ€™s men had taken control of the place, and the maids dared not move a muscle. After venting his anger and losing his strength, Nathaniel finally stopped kicking.

Eloise remained still, applied the cold towel to her face, and looked indifferently at her son as if he were a stranger.

Nathaniel sat down to catch his breath and gestured with his hand. Then someone immediately poured him a cup of tea. His breathing became steadier when he took the tea and downed half of it.

He had never been so satisfied as he did at this moment. To him, it was an incredible feeling to vent the frustration he had kept in for so many years.

โ€œAre you all right? Nathaniel asked as he lifted his gaze to his mother, who sat opposite him.

If she had not guessed it when he first appeared, Eloise now realized the truth seeing Nathaniel attack Joseph. โ€œYou planned everything, inclu

    โ€œThis man fathers her, but Iโ€™m notโ€ฆweโ€™re not siblings.โ€ Nathaniel pointed at his own nose and snorted. โ€œBesides, a score needs to be settled even with a sibling, let alone her.โ€โ€œEven if the same man doesnโ€™t father you, youโ€™re both my children. Canโ€™t you work with her for my sake?โ€ The last thing Eloise wished to see was her children hurting each other. โ€œBesides, you wonโ€™t gain company control by setting Ari up. Donโ€™t forget youโ€™re not a member of the Tanner family. Itโ€™s not going to be easy for you.โ€Nathaniel felt upset yet chuckled. โ€œSee? Even you treat me as an outsider. Why should I bother to work with Arianna? Also, Tanner Corporation is going to change its name soon.โ€โ€œIn your f*cking dreams!โ€ Barely recovering, Joseph cursed. Nathaniel shot him a frigid glance and laughed, seeing him lying there, unable to get up. โ€œSay whatever you like. You, all of you, will witness it soon.โ€โ€œWhat are you trying to do?โ€Eloise seemed to have thought of something and added, โ€œPerhaps you

    Joseph grew agitated when he discovered what Nathaniel had done with Damian. โ€œYouโ€ฆ What did you do to Damian?โ€โ€œTsk! Tsk!โ€ Nathaniel chuckled. โ€œSo your son is more important to you after all. Havenโ€™t I told you? Theyโ€™ll be all right if you do as I say.โ€Nathaniel had Arianna to thank for nurturing such a good group of henchmen. Her mistake was assuming they would stay loyal to her, not knowing that most people were merely motivated by self-interest. As long as someone served their interest, it did not matter who they worked for.Tanner Corporation changed leadership almost overnight. Nobody thought the internal struggle within the Tanner family was so intense. While the competing higher-ups wondered which side to choose, Nathaniel had successfully claimed the company's helm.He had not only garnered the support of many small shareholders, but he also produced a declaration of transfer of shares stamped with both the personal and company seals that were authenticated to be Derrick T

    Alexander desired his wife, so he kissed her lips before she could finish her sentence.Lily had been so busy that they had not made love for quite some days. Seeing her returning home tired every day, he felt sorry for her and could not bear to disturb her. Now, seeing her so spirited and energetic, he could hardly hold back his desires for her.โ€œAlex, donโ€™tโ€ฆ Iโ€™m already lateโ€ฆโ€One could almost feel the heat in the air as the two made passionate love. As for the flight, no one gave a d*mn about it. After some time, Lily rolled over. She knew she had to get up but was so sore all over that she could hardly move.A hand reached over from behind her, slid down to her waist, and moved to the front. Lily was not in the mood and wanted to take Alexanderโ€™s hand off but felt his palm stay on her belly to give it a gentle massage.She shuddered and let him continue.โ€œNow I am 100% missing my flight,โ€ Lily let out a helpless sigh.Alexander moved closer, spooned her from behind, and aske

    Arianna never expected to suffer defeat at the hands of such a person. She thought she had everything under control and figured her only hurdle would be her uncle. However, she did not realize one of her henchmen would ultimately betray her.Eloise looked as if she had aged ten years as she sat across the table, with gray hair showing on two sides. โ€œAriโ€ฆโ€ Her eyes were reddish and still swollen. She had never looked so miserable. โ€œAre you happy seeing me like this?โ€ Arianna curled her dried lips. โ€œNow you can depend on your precious son to give you a life of comfort, huh? Youโ€™re just like dad. All you guys care about are your sons. Why bother to give birth to me, then?โ€She chuckled. โ€œI was so stupid and naive to think you were sincere in helping me.โ€โ€œAri, please, I never knew about Nateโ€™s plan, and he had kept me in the dark. Please believe me!โ€ Eloise said hurriedly, distressed by the disappointed look Arianna gave her. Although it did not matter to her whether Arianna or Nat

    Eloise sighed and interjected, โ€œYour uncle is in Nateโ€™s hands too.โ€"What?!โ€ Arianna was stunned as she looked over her shoulder. She thought about it and shook her head. โ€œNo, it canโ€™t be.โ€โ€œItโ€™s real, and Nate admitted it himself. Not just Derrick, but also that woman and her b*stard son. Now the company is his and has undergone an upheaval. I-I donโ€™t even know what to say.โ€Although she had not joined Tanner Corporation, she witnessed its daily growth. With her son taking it over, she felt mixed emotions now that it no longer belonged to the Tanner family.โ€œNo.โ€ Arianna shook her head and became pensive. โ€œWhat happened at the hospital made me realize that Uncle Derrick is not an easily manipulated person. If he could patiently set up the trap and pretend to be sick with Aunt Stephanieโ€™s help, how could an outsider take him hostage and take over Tanner Corporation so easily?โ€If even Arianna had failed despite various attempts, could Nathaniel succeed just like that? She felt it

    Damian looked at his father and became slightly agitated because he had not seen him for many days. More importantly, it had been a difficult period for Damian. โ€œDadโ€ฆโ€Joseph wanted to scold him, but he noticed how much weight his son had lost. He heaved a sigh and sat down. โ€œWhere have you been the last few days?โ€โ€œI got kidnapped by Nathaniel Hall.โ€โ€œSo it really was him!โ€ Joseph sighed again. He had expected it, but he still got upset hearing the answer.โ€˜That man is truly a wolf in sheepโ€™s clothing!โ€™Knowing his track record, Joseph was unhappy when Arianna brought this man into the company, but he did not think much about it then.He almost bought the rumor about Arianna having an intimate relationship with the man. Still, considering her preference for men, Joseph knew it was unlikely she would fall for someone like Nathaniel. After Arianna became engaged with Noah Richards, he grew more certain of it.Yet, he had never expected that Nathaniel was a son Eloise had given bi

    โ€œHeโ€™s in control, my a*s!โ€ Joseph snorted. โ€œTanner Corporation has been around for years. Thereโ€™s no way that every employee would take him seriously, especially the old-timers. Once I give my orders at the right time, I can still take the company back!โ€Elizabeth brightened hearing this, but she did not feel convinced after giving it some thought. โ€œAre you sure? Youโ€™ve failed to seize Tanner Corporation after so many years, so how can you get it back now itโ€™s in that manโ€™s hands?โ€โ€œItโ€™s different now. My brother was still around back then.โ€โ€œBut your brother isnโ€™t now?โ€โ€œHeโ€™s gone missing, probably kidnapped by Nathaniel. Yes, we have to report this to the police!โ€ He grew convinced that his plan could work. โ€œDamian, get ready to go to the police station. Wait, no, we should think through what weโ€™ll say before we leave.โ€Elizabeth noticed Josephโ€™s manic expression and asked, slightly worried, โ€œAre you all right?โ€โ€œIโ€™m fine! I just got an idea. Damian, you tell the cops that you

    Behind a massive desk in the Tanner Corporation Building was a near-transparent glass wallโ€”wiped so clean that it looked nearly transparent,allowing light to shine through freely.He looked beyond the glass and took in the sprawling city landscape, thinking this was the pinnacle of his life and that he deserved to work there.Nathaniel was holding a wine glass with its red liquid swirling inside. Its color was bright and compelling. He recalled the past few months with a slight smile as if what happened was only a dream.He thought he could build a career through his own efforts and become somebody that people would look up to, but his company went bankrupt, and he had to dodge his creditors like a complete loser.Arianna then took him in and brought him into the company. He knew she was just using him and would cut him loose when she obtained her goal, so he had long prepared for his game plan.Each thought he or she was the mastermind, not knowing they were all Nathanielโ€™s pawns

    Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, โ€œThereโ€™s something I find strange.โ€โ€œWhat is it?โ€ Mike asked after comforting his son.โ€œInstead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldnโ€™t we reach him?โ€After some thought, Mike answered, โ€œThere are two possibilities. Itโ€™s probably due to poor signals, or he doesnโ€™t want us to contact him.โ€The two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.โ€˜Why canโ€™t we contact Ross? Is he planning something?โ€™โ€ฆThree days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queenโ€™s leg and looked up at her, saying, โ€œYou should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, itโ€™ll take some time before you can stand.โ€Suddenly, Lily chuckled.โ€œWhy 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, โ€œOf course, you wouldnโ€™t.โ€โ€œThatโ€™sโ€ฆ quite a pity,โ€ the queen murmured thoughtfully.โ€œWell, thereโ€™s a price to pay for everything. Thatโ€™s how the world balances itself,โ€ Lily continued, โ€œI canโ€™t stop you if you must carry on with R10. Still, I wonโ€™t witness whether or not it succeeds. I just wish the outcome isnโ€™t something youโ€™ll regret.โ€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 Yasminโ€™s legs. โ€œYour Majesty, those needlesโ€”โ€The queen waved dismissively. โ€œItโ€™s okay. Lily will remove them later.โ€Even so, Rick was wary. โ€œYouโ€™re being too careless, Your Majesty. What if that womanโ€”โ€โ€œShe wouldnโ€™t,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.โ€œTell 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 Lilyโ€™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 donโ€™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 wasnโ€™t sure if youโ€™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, didnโ€™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.โ€œThatโ€™s 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.โ€˜I havenโ€™t felt my legs for over a decade. I wouldnโ€™t mind waiting for three more days.โ€™โ€œAre 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, โ€œI canโ€™t guarantee that youโ€™ll walk as fast as you once could. After all, you havenโ€™t used your legs for a long time, and your muscles have atrophied. Still, youโ€™ll recover slowly.โ€Yasmin nodded repeatedly, thinking it was good enough. She never dreamed of walking as well a

    โ€œBecause only our opinions matter." Lily thought of something and said, "Unless you choose to believe Rhea.""Iโ€ฆ don't trust anyone." Yasminโ€™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? Youโ€™ve done enough as a queen over the last few decades. Arenโ€™t you tired of living a lonely life?โ€Lily gently spoke as she gazed at Yasminโ€™s back.The older woman caressed her knees with both hands and stared down at her legs, murmuring, โ€œSightsee, huh? Iโ€™ve forgotten what thatโ€™s like.โ€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 Lilyโ€™s suggestion.Lily asked, โ€œWhat 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 couldnโ€™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 whoโ€™s 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.โ€œHowever, 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?""Youโ€ฆ" 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, โ€œBring Lily over. Iโ€™d 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, โ€œHer Majesty wants to see you.โ€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. โ€œYou stay.โ€"But we came together!" Mike glanced over his shoulder at Lily, signaling her to persuade the man. Rick added, "The queen doesnโ€™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 queenโ€™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, โ€œIf any of you go with her, they might stop or suspect you. They wonโ€™t do that to me. Itโ€™s natural for me to want to see and rescue my son. Iโ€™m the best candidate because it makes sense for me to sacrifice myself for him.โ€After a short silence, Lily said, โ€œYouโ€™re right.โ€ She then looked at Alexander, who pondered before slowly raising his head and saying, โ€œMe too.โ€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, โ€œThanks, you guys!โ€"Why are you thanking us? Just be careful, and donโ€™t be rash like you promised," Aust
