Chapter 1118

Author: Luminous Night
"That’s right. I'm his grandmother..." Her hand that was combing her hair stopped. Margaret was deep in thought, and her eyes looked distant. "I'm his grandmother..."

"Mom, don't overthink! Look, I’m your son and his uncle, but he never showed me mercy!" Ralph noticed something was wrong and tried to persuade her, "Mom, we’re not forcing him to die. We just want him to hand over control of the Russell family. Didn’t you always want me to take over the family and the company? We’re just setting things right and getting everything back on track.”

"Setting things right." Margaret emphasized these three words and nodded, “Yes, setting things right."

Ralph felt that she had made up her mind and breathed a sigh of relief. He pushed the breakfast toward her, saying, "Mom, you should eat something. There’s no need to rush, as it's still early. You can eat slowly."

"Okay." She picked up the spoon and noticed he was still sitting there. Margaret asked, "Is there anything else?"

    Celine never woke up early, so she was grumpy when she opened the door. Her hair was in a mess, and her eyes were bloodshot. She angrily glared at Ralph, "What do you want?!""My dear sister, I brought you breakfast!" He said with a smile and presented the breakfast he had brought from downstairs."Oh, the sun must’ve risen from the west today." Celine glanced at the breakfast before covering her mouth as she yawned. After that, she turned around to brush her teeth and took a shower.Ralph heard the sound of water from the bathroom and did not follow her—instead, he sat in her room. He boringly flipped through the books on the table and mockingly laughed when he noticed that most of the books Celine had were novels.His elder sister was already an adult, but she still read these books. In a way, this was beneficial to him as Celine could not compete with him. Having an ally was much better than having an enemy, after all.Celine soon came out after freshening up. She lay on the so

    "What did Mom say?" Celine sipped the soy milk and continued asking."What else would she say? You should know that mom has loved me more than Alex since I was a child. I'm her biological son! She would surely side with me." Ralph was confident about this.Margaret’s doting made him feel that the Russell family belonged to him. Even if he did not inherit all of it, he should inherit its majority. Still, he never expected his father to give the family business to Alexander.Meanwhile, Ralph only received a small amount of equity. Ralph never received much of the family’s other businesses, real estate, and stores. These were only the tip of the iceberg compared to the Russell family’s vast wealth. He felt resentful at the thought of his father.Celine finished her soy milk, wiped the corner of her mouth, and put down the cup before she calmly replied to him, "I see. Thank you for breakfast.""So, we agree on this, Celine? You must help me when the time comes. Don’t forget that we’re

    Heather called Ralph to test him. However, she became somewhat interested when she heard his confident tone. “Can you tell me how you plan to take Alexander down in just a day? I’m quite interested now.”Even if Ralph was only boasting, he should make it sound believable. Heather believed Alexander would not have survived in the business industry for such a long time if Ralph could trounce him.Although Alexander was younger than Ralph, he took over the family business at a very young age. Initially, many thought Alexander was too inexperienced to lead the family. However, he convinced everyone of his abilities, and almost everyone acknowledged him.Alexander was a capable leader, and the family business had never been better under his leadership. Yet, Ralph claimed he would soon replace Alexander and take over the family business in one day.Heather wondered how that would be possible. Even with the family elders present, it would not mean Ralph would succeed.The Riggs family al

    Heather wondered if this was a stage she had to overcome to increase her kickboxing skills. She could not tell if this was good or bad, and she could not even walk properly.Chump rushed over to help her and led her to sit on the sofa, saying, “Let me get the family doctor over to check on you, Ms. Riggs!”“No, it’s fine. This isn't something the doctor can fix." Heather knew whatever was wrong with her was not a medical condition.This was due to her learning kickboxing techniques from the secret handbook, which a doctor would not know how to treat. She needed to depend on herself to balance out the different energies in her body.“I need to sit down and balance my inner energy. Stay here and guard me," she said sternly, crossing her legs on the sofa.Chump nodded as he stepped forward, then remembered something and turned to ask Heather, “Should I ask them to send the car back since we’ll no longer be leaving?”Heather finally remembered what she was supposed to do. Her dazed m

    Hannah bit her lower lip and mumbled, “I understand.”“Go on.” Heather waved dismissively. She looked pale and feeble.“Heather, are you okay?” Hannah asked worriedly.“I’m alright. Remember what I said.” Heather closed her eyes, not wanting to speak anymore.Heather opened her eyes as Hannah quietly left the room. The room was empty as she called out, “Chump!”“Yes, Ms. Riggs.” Chump quickly stepped forward.“Send two of our most trusted men to follow her, and remember not to cause a scene.” Heather had a calm expression on her face, not betraying her emotions.“Yes, I understand.” Chump knew what she meant and left to get it done.Chump had to stay by Heather’s side as she continued to meditate. She needed someone she could trust to be by her side in case of an accident, and Chump was the only one suitable for this. However, she also needed others to be around Hannah, especially since she had other thoughts recently. Heather needed to ensure nothing would go wrong.…As noo

    Alexander nodded and briefly looked around. “Where’s Grandma?”“Your grandmother will be out soon, don’t worry. We should start first,” Ralph said.Alexander briefly wondered if his grandmother's being present was particularly significant. He then moved forward and turned to look at Lily. She lifted her hand from his and took a few steps back, but remained by his side.“Good afternoon to all the elders here. Today, we’re gathered here…” Alexander paused for a moment and turned to Ralph. “Since you’re the one who called us here today, do you have something to announce?”When Alexander asked him first, Ralph smiled smugly. “Of course, I have something important to announce. This is something important involving the Russell family’s bloodline.”Once everyone heard that it was something important, they immediately sat up. One of Ralph’s uncles started to joke, “What is it? Bloodline? Ralph, are you planning to have a kid?” This caused everyone in the room to laugh.Ralph was not up

    Ralph’s comment convinced the elders, and most agreed. They nodded and said, “That’s true. Who would want to raise someone else’s child? Who would do that voluntarily?”“That’s right. If someone told me to raise someone else’s kid, I probably wouldn’t.”“How can we ignore the importance of a pure bloodline? Does that mean someone committed adultery in the family? Who is it?”Everyone around the room started discussing as this was a sensitive topic to them, instantly throwing the room into chaos. Everyone looked at each other accusingly and wondered who Ralph was referring to.The elders thought the person had stayed in the family for a long time, even though they were not related by blood.The Russell family was unlike ordinary families. They were a vast and influential family. Even those from the branch family benefited greatly from the family name. Endless wealth and power came with the family name, so why should someone who did not belong to the family enjoy these privileges?

    “No, the outsider wouldn’t be innocent at all.” Ralph interrupted. He could not allow Alexander to persuade the other elders.‘What a joke. If the outsider were innocent, Alex would be innocent, and everyone would forgive him. If that’s the case, I can’t claim my seat as the family patriarch.’“If the outsider enjoyed our family’s privileges, they would be at fault. How can an outsider be so entitled when they aren’t one of us? If the outsider is already an adult, they can make a living independently. Since our family has already nurtured the outsider, we must not allow them to take anything more from us.”It was evident that Ralph aimed his speech at Alexander. Some had already realized who he was talking about and looked at Alexander with unreadable expressions. If Ralph were right and Alexander was not a blood relative to the Russell family, then who was he? Does that mean his mother had an affair?When the elders realized who Ralph aimed his speech at, they chose to remain sile

    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
