The Lion Queen of Business in Reverse Chapter 21
On a rainy morning after the storm, the Stewart Building loomed large and silent in the hazy dawn light. Alicia stood across the street in a coffee shop, gazing at the familiar structure through the glass window. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail, and she wore plain jeans and a dark jacket, trying to look inconspicuous.The coffee shop was filled with the rich aroma of coffee, and early commuters hurried in and out, paying no attention to the young woman in the corner who seemed so ordinary. Alicia took a small sip of her cappuccino, the bitter taste causing her to slightly frown.Her gaze swept over every corner of the building, searching for any possible surveillance. The sudden attack that separated her from the ghosts and Nova had left her needing to reconnect with her allies.Alicia took a deep breath and stood up. She placed the empty cup on the counter and pushed open the glass door, stepping into the cool morning air. Her steps were determined and composed,

The dazzling lights were like scattered stars, Intuition told her that these two people were after her.Without time to think much, Alexis quickly shut down her computer, pulled out her USB drive, and stuffed it into her pocket. She grabbed her coat and backpack, quickly checking to make sure she hadn't left anything important behind. Just as she was about to leave, her eyes fell on a business card on the nightstand.Alexander Black.The name made Alexis pause for a moment.

The Lion Queen of Business in Reverse Chapter 1: Reunion at the Dinner Party
The night sky over London was shrouded in a thin layer of fog, and the dim glow of the ancient street lamps looked particularly faint in the mist. However, the Stewart family mansion was lit up like a bright jewel, illuminating the misty night. Tonight, the Stewart family had organised a grand charity dinner to raise money for a local orphanage. Inside the hall, guests were gathered, dressed and mingling, all with false smiles on their faces. Alicia Stewart, the eldest daughter of the Stewart family, entered the gilded hall wearing an old dress that her mother Eleanor had made herself. She had the family's unique blonde hair and blue eyes, her skin was fair as snow, and her features were delicate and three-dimensional, as beautiful as the goddesses of Greek mythology. Her deep blue eyes, however, were tinged with a hint of melancholy and seemed to hold endless secrets. The dress she wore, though old, had been transformed by Eleanor's skilful hands, taking on a different lustre
The Lion Queen of Business in Reverse Chapter 2: Dancing Together
The two stepped onto the dance floor and Edward gently wrapped his arm around Alicia's waist, her hand on his shoulder. In time with the music, they began to spin gracefully."Remember when we were little and learnt to dance in your back garden?" Edward asked softly, a nostalgic glint in his eyes.Alicia laughed, "How could I forget? You were always stepping on my feet back then, and we were both as clumsy as two little bears."Edward smiled back, "It seems we've both improved a lot."They danced on the dance floor as if they were back in those carefree childhood days. Alicia felt a long-lost sense of camaraderie and warmth, and she found herself enjoying this wonderful moment of reunion.However, this beautiful moment was soon interrupted. A brightly dressed young woman suddenly appeared beside them and said in a shrill voice, "Edward, so there you are! I've been looking for you for ages."Alicia recognised the woman as Edward's cousin, Sophia Hart. Sophia had always had a soft spot
The Lion Queen of Business in Reverse Chapter 3: The Tenacity of the Dandelion
Alicia followed the waiter back to the banquet hall and quickly found her mother, Eleanor. However, the scene she saw caused her heart to tighten. Her mother, Eleanor, was talking to several noblewomen, but with a hard look on her face.As Alicia approached, she heard the unpleasant dialogue."Oh, Eleanor dear," said a lady in a fancy gown in a hypocritically sweet tone, "you are trying so hard. And trying to find some social opportunities for Alicia, how... lovely."Another lady picked up, "Yes, Eleanor. But you have to realise that things are... It's not the same as it used to be. After all, with Aaron gone, your positions... You understand."Alicia saw a flash of pain on her mother's face, but Eleanor quickly hid it, still maintaining her elegant smile."Our family's position remains strong," Eleanor said calmly, "and Alicia has inherited her father's talent and charm. I am sure she will have a bright future.""Oh Eleanor, you're always so naive," the third lady sighed falsely, "Do
The Lion Queen of Business in Reverse Chapter 4: Car Accidents
"Look at that, what a touching scene," Maria said conspiratorially, "Our little Alethea has finally found someone to lean on."Elizabeth sneered, "Yeah, didn't think she had it in her. Edward Hart is a rare golden master, I wonder what tricks she used to hook up."Alicia felt a surge of anger rise up, but she forced herself to remain calm. She gracefully straightened Edward's jacket, then looked directly at the two elders, her tone calm and firm:"Dear Aunt Maria, Aunt Elizabeth, I understand your curiosity about my friendship with Edward. However, I must correct your misconceptions. Edward and I grew up together, and our relationship is pure and genuine, and in no way is it the kind of relationship you have IMAGINARY."Maria grunted dismissively, "Don't pretend, Alicia. After your father's death, your family's status was in tatters. Now that you're suddenly so close to the Hart family's second son, aren't you just trying to climb up the power ladder?"Alicia smiled faintly, a hint of

When the ambulance arrived, both Alicia and Eleanor were in a coma. Paramedics carefully extracted them from the warped car and quickly transported them to the nearest hospital.In the hospital, Eleanor woke up earlier. Despite the pain all over her body, she insisted on visiting her daughter. With the doctor's persuasion, she reluctantly agreed to undergo the necessary tests and treatment first."Mrs Stewart, your injuries are not serious, but you need to rest," the attending doctor said seriously, "Your daughter's situation is more complicated and she is still in the intensive care unit. We are doing our best to save her."Eleanor's heart was like a knife, and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing down, "Please, you must save my daughter!"Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa on the other side of the city, William and Richard were raising their glasses in celebration."The plan went well," William said smugly, "That ungrateful girl should have shut up for good."Richard nodded, a sini

Over the next few days, Alicia's hospital room became a small parlour. Family, friends and business associates came to visit. Everyone acted concerned and friendly, but Alicia always felt a little uncomfortable. She began to scrutinise the expressions, words and actions of each visitor, trying to pick up clues.William and Richard were among the first relatives to visit. They brought expensive gifts and hypocritical care."Dear niece," William said with a beaming smile, "we are so happy to see you safe and sound."Richard nodded in agreement, "Yes, we were all terrified. I heard you lost some of your memories?"Alicia was keenly aware of the looks exchanged by her uncles. She decided to act like she knew nothing about the details of the crash." The doctor said it was normal and that it might take a while for your memory to fully return."William and Richard looked relieved. They exchanged a few more pleasantries and excused themselves, leaving Alicia alone with her thoughts. She was b
