When Alexander received the call from Margaret, he was in a meeting at the company. He needed to report on establishing new projects and expansion ideas overseas. Initially, he did not want to answer the call, but as he used his phone to read the data analysis, he had no choice.

After declining the call, he quickly summed up his meeting and returned to the office to call her back. On the phone, the old lady sounded aggressive. "Where are you now?"

"I'm in the company."

It seemed like Margaret was in a bad mood. "Come back right away!"

"You mean, now?"

"Yes, now!" After a pause, she said again, "Bring your wife with you!"

Before Alexander could refuse, Margaret immediately said, "If you don't bring her, I'll send someone to pick her up myself! Is she unable to leave the house now that she's pregnant? As your grandmother, I don't even get to meet her at least once?"

Alexander kept quiet for a moment and pursed his lips. He did not want to argue with her on the phone. "Got it."

    The walking stick Margaret held was drilling into the ground, showing her anger. "Is she hurt?"Alexander knew his limits, so he calculated each of his moves. Initially, that fight would never have hurt Heather. However, she had her pride, so she used all her killer moves to try and beat him. It was inevitable for him to respond and fight back. His moves were a little heavier than anticipated. Thus, he expected that she might get hurt.'Did she go around complaining to people?'It was a little out of character for someone as strong as her to do such a thing. Was this her way to get the Russells to put pressure on Alexander?"She was so badly injured that she vomited blood!" Ralph roared. Then he turned to look at Margaret. "Mom, you didn’t see how messy her house was when I arrived. The tables were upside down, and the blood Heather vomited formed a small puddle on the floor.“She's still recovering from her injuries now. I'm afraid she would have died if she didn't learn kickboxi

    Now, it was Ralph's turn to be at a loss for words.It was true; there would always be winners and losers when it came to sparring, and it was common for the fighters to get injured. It was also true that Heather was indeed not a feeble woman. Even as Ralph said it just now, he felt a pang of guilt in his chest.His words were unjustified in the first place, but after Alexander's rebuttal, Ralph was stunned.On the other hand, Celine, who had been quietly sipping tea and watching the whole thing, calmly said, "Alex, you're right. Although it was just a sparring session, why would Heather want to spar with you? Besides, when did you get so good at kickboxing? As an aunt, a mother, and a grandmother, I have never heard about it."Her words seemed to have enlightened Ralph, and he immediately returned to his senses. "Yes! Exactly! When did you learn how to kickbox like that? What are you trying to prove here?""Grandpa took me to classes when I was younger. It wasn't a secret, but no

    “Enough!" Alexander suddenly yelled. His voice echoed in the room, startling Margaret, who immediately stopped crying. She looked at him with wide eyes, not knowing why he had suddenly gotten angry. Alexander had always been a firm person, but for the sake of his grandfather and seeing how they were his elders, he had always been more lenient on them. However, they were going overboard. While changing the policies in recent years, Alexander had quietly kicked out all the moles in the company. He had not planned on kicking Ralph out if the latter had been honest with his work. However, Ralph was cunning. His greed for personal gain was too strong, and it did not take him long to get into trouble as he managed a branch. Hence, he could only be booted out. Now, he was just a tiny shareholder who did nothing and got a small share of the bonuses. This caused a lot of dissatisfaction in the family. They could only rely on their status as elders to talk to Alexander. "As a descend

    His threatening aura was so overpowering that it frightened the others, causing them to freeze on the spot.Not long after he left, Margaret returned to her senses and howled, "Where have I gone wrong?!" "Mom, don't cry! He's just an ungrateful child, and you know that. He doesn’t even look like a Russell! He's always been so distant from us! “I've said since the beginning that this family could not be handed over to him, but Dad wouldn't listen! Look at him now! He doesn't even care about you!" Every single word Ralph uttered struck Margaret's heart like an arrow. She hated it, but there was nothing she could do.When Hugo was still alive, they argued about this many times. She wanted to entrust the family to their youngest son. There was no reason for Hugo to skip his son and give it directly to their grandson. However, Hugo was stubborn. After all, he was the head of the household. Once he had decided that Alexander would take over, he kept his promise until his deathbed,

    Similarly, Celine's words had also gotten to Ralph. "Mom, can it be that the brat, Alexander, isn't a Russell at all?"“Why are you saying such nonsense?” Margaret slapped his arms and glowered, "Can you stop questioning our bloodline?"He had been slapped, but from the force of the slap, he knew she was not angry. Therefore, he continued, "Did I say anything wrong? Who knows where Patrick met her? “They got married behind our backs, and she was already pregnant when he brought her to the house. Maybe she's not even pregnant with Patrick's son! Patrick had always been such a kind soul. He couldn’t have known about it, or maybe he did, but he was just too soft-hearted and protected her. Whatever it is, we don't have any proof right now!”Ralph suddenly had an idea and said, "How about… we run a DNA test?!" "How? Your eldest brother has been gone for years, and that woman…" Margaret sighed. She was exhausted."Mom, with the technology now, you don't need to test the DNA against y

    Heather naturally did not hope for Ralph to help her get some justice. She was more concerned about where Alexander had learned kickboxing and what kind of secret handbooks he hid.After practicing kickboxing for many years, she suddenly felt that everything she learned was all a fraud. Thinking about it was driving her crazy. Although she was injured, she could not wait any longer and hurriedly asked someone to find out where Alexander got sent to when he was a child.The company's affairs had been put on hold recently as all focus was on finding the handbook. Heather’s assistant even took all the company’s calls. Albeit, there were still things she would have to deal with personally.She let out a few coughs as she was about to get up. Her chest felt stuffy and painful. She had no idea how much strength Alexander had used in their fight, but because she had pushed herself too hard, the injuries she had sustained were more severe.When she fought Lily, although she did not scathe

    It was just moments ago Heather told Hannah to go home, but now, Heather wanted her to go to the company instead. It seemed Heather had quickly changed her mind."Good to know. Remember, I raised you. You must do whatever I tell you to. You're just my shadow. Do you understand?" Heather emphasized for the thousandth time. She wanted to drill it into Hannah's head.Hannah knew she should not forget her roots and not have any intention of overstepping. "Yes, I understand! I am your shadow, and I exist only for you," she repeated mechanically.Her meekness immediately calmed Heather down as she replied with satisfaction, "There are some documents to process back at the company. Chloe will guide you on where to sign. You don't have to talk much and ensure you come right back after signing them. It's not your first time there, so you should know not to talk too much. Understand?""Yes!"After nodding, Heather waved, indicating Hannah to leave before she laid down again. She needed two

    Hannah's parents had no attainments of learning kickboxing. Instead, they were more focused on business. Not only did their business grow into what it was today, but they also maintained it reasonably well. Coupled with what their ancestors had done, they had shares in various industries.They had just expanded their branch to Kingsland in recent years. They had initially planned to make Kingsland their headquarters and develop it here. That was why Heather had no interest in business and was always impatient when it came to it. She had no choice but to deal with the affairs that came along with it patiently.To a certain extent, Hannah knew a little more about businesses than Heather did. Although Hannah would occasionally sign things, she did not do it perfunctorily. She would always carefully look through the project details and occasionally point out some mistakes and inadequacies.However, Heather had never allowed her to attend any necessary meetings for fear of getting caught

    Lily tilted her head up to fight back her tears, saying, “There’s something I find strange.”“What is it?” Mike asked after comforting his son.“Instead of detaining Prince Ross, Her Majesty has sent him back to Yudonia. If so, why couldn’t we reach him?”After some thought, Mike answered, “There are two possibilities. It’s probably due to poor signals, or he doesn’t want us to contact him.”The two shared a look, knowing what each other was wondering.‘Why can’t we contact Ross? Is he planning something?’…Three days later, Lily inserted the last needle into the queen’s leg and looked up at her, saying, “You should start feeling your legs tomorrow. Still, it’ll take some time before you can stand.”Suddenly, Lily chuckled.“Why are you laughing?” 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, “Of course, you wouldn’t.”“That’s… quite a pity,” the queen murmured thoughtfully.“Well, there’s a price to pay for everything. That’s how the world balances itself,” Lily continued, “I can’t stop you if you must carry on with R10. Still, I won’t witness whether or not it succeeds. I just wish the outcome isn’t something you’ll regret.”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 Yasmin’s legs. “Your Majesty, those needles—”The queen waved dismissively. “It’s okay. Lily will remove them later.”Even so, Rick was wary. “You’re being too careless, Your Majesty. What if that woman—”“She wouldn’t,” 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.“Tell me. What do you want?” The queen took a deep breath to calm herself. She then reminded herself that she could always say no to Lily’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 don’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 wasn’t sure if you’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, didn’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.“That’s it?!” 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.‘I haven’t felt my legs for over a decade. I wouldn’t mind waiting for three more days.’“Are you sure I can get up and walk in just three days?” 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, “I can’t guarantee that you’ll walk as fast as you once could. After all, you haven’t used your legs for a long time, and your muscles have atrophied. Still, you’ll recover slowly.”Yasmin nodded repeatedly, thinking it was good enough. She never dreamed of walking as well a

    “Because only our opinions matter." Lily thought of something and said, "Unless you choose to believe Rhea.""I… don't trust anyone." Yasmin’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? You’ve done enough as a queen over the last few decades. Aren’t you tired of living a lonely life?”Lily gently spoke as she gazed at Yasmin’s back.The older woman caressed her knees with both hands and stared down at her legs, murmuring, “Sightsee, huh? I’ve forgotten what that’s like.”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 Lily’s suggestion.Lily asked, “What 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 couldn’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 who’s willing to die for him. If Mike decides to take drastic action against you— Yes, you're a queen, and you don't care much about an insignificant businessman.“However, 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?""You…" 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, “Bring Lily over. I’d like to see what excuses that sly woman can come up with.”"Your Majesty?" Rick was puzzled. "You know she'll just lie to you. Why must you—"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, “Her Majesty wants to see you.”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. “You stay.”"But we came together!" Mike glanced over his shoulder at Lily, signaling her to persuade the man. Rick added, "The queen doesn’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 queen’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, “If any of you go with her, they might stop or suspect you. They won’t do that to me. It’s natural for me to want to see and rescue my son. I’m the best candidate because it makes sense for me to sacrifice myself for him.”After a short silence, Lily said, “You’re right.” She then looked at Alexander, who pondered before slowly raising his head and saying, “Me too.”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, “Thanks, you guys!”"Why are you thanking us? Just be careful, and don’t be rash like you promised," Aust
