Melanie was speechless as she did not expect Frank to react like that. She looked at him, only to see that he had turned and walked to the refrigerator. He took a can of cold beer, opened it with a snap, and took a big sip.โYou think too much, Melanie,โ Frank shook his head and continued, โI thought you wouldโฆโ He rolled his eyes, probably to rethink his words, then shrugged and said, โYou need to be open-minded and free-thinking. I didnโt expect you to be so rigid.โRemember, weโre here to have fun, and Iโm happy if youโre happy. Why are you overthinking? I can give you everything you want, and you can satisfy me with what I want. Isnโt that good enough? Why do you carry such heavy thoughts, huh?โ Frank looked nonchalant as if it was not a big deal that Melanie had just rejected him.In contrast, Melanie felt quite embarrassed while looking at him.โDonโt worry. Iโm just here for fun, and I donโt like forcing others. Itโs no problem if you donโt like it.โ Frank nodded. โIโm going

After listening to his words, Melanie looked around the room again, but all she could think about was what Frank's room looked like. She took a deep breath and said, "It's not bad."Nathaniel was dissatisfied, "What do you mean by โnot bad?โ You should know that the price differs significantly.โ "Well, thereโs not much of a difference to the other rooms," Melanie didn't want to discuss this, so she replied perfunctorily.โHow can your room be almost the same as the others? It cost a few hundred dollars more.โ Nathaniel did not realize how Melanie felt, but he continued, โMel, weโre relatively well-off now, but you know the company is facing some major problems now. We still need to recruit new talents and expand our market, so we must calculate every penny carefully. It might be difficult now, but if you think about the futureโฆโโOh, here we go again with โthe future!โ You always talk about the future!โ Melanie thundered as she was unable to bear Nathanielโs rambling. โWhat I w

Nathaniel called a few times, and when he found out he had been hung up on, he felt depressed. Did Lily go to Middle Valley as well? Recalling Melanie's words, he was doubtful. First class? Rolls-Royce? Was Rebirth that generous? Also, did La Beautรฉ Group have such extensive resources to support a small subsidiary business? "Mr. Hall." A laboratory staff came over with a joyful face. "The new productโs finalized, and itโs the same as before." "Really?" Nathaniel was excited but quickly restrained himself. "Has it been tested? Is it exactly the same? Remember, there must be no difference at all!"It was a bit of luck and nuisance. The perfume prepared by Lily seemed to have some extraordinary magic power. People who admired it had become loyal fans, so they would no longer buy it if there were even a slight difference. That was the reason this caused such a big issue. He had to ensure that things were exactly the same so that the factory could increase producti

"Mr. Hall?" Olivia blinked, trying to clear her head, "Whyโd you come to my house?" "I heard that youโre on leave. I should take care of my subordinates as the boss, shouldn't I?" He knew she was looking out of the peephole, so he leaned in front of the door. His suddenly enlarged face startled Olivia, and she took two steps back. "You!" "Olivia, are you planning to keep the door closed and let me stand outside to talk to you?""Mr. Hall, I'm sick, and I'm home alone. It's not a good time." She did not want to open the door or say anything more to Nathaniel. It was not a good idea for him to come because everything that needed to be said had already been expressed long ago. Fortunately, her mother went out to buy vegetables. Otherwise... Speaking of the devil, there was a voice from outside, "Who are you?" Mother? "Hello, I'm Olivia's boss. My last name is Hall, and I'm the president of MN Inc." Nathaniel's voice sounded. "Oh, Mr. Hall!" Oliviaโs m

Unexpectedly, Nathaniel walked to the door. "What do you mean, youโre okay?" Oliviaโs mother raised her hand and thumped her. "I see you havenโt been well. I thought you were on leave, but it turns out that youโre just lazy! What were you planning to do since you're too lazy to even go to work?โHer mother spoke while hitting Olivia a few times. Olivia did not dodge but said helplessly, "Mom, don't worry about it. Go on with your errands." โItโs not that I want to boss you around, but you should know how to be responsible. Even your boss had to come to find you! Now tell me, when will you straighten up?โ"Mom..." Olivia grew very helpless.Nathaniel, standing at the door, seemed to be watching a play. He waited for Olivia to be smacked a few times before he cleared his throat and stopped her mother. "Mrs. Hart, I think Olivia may have some other reasons. Don't blame her. Iโm not here to find her guilty. Iโm just concerned if sheโs uncomfortable or had encountered dif

Nathaniel noticed Oliviaโs puzzled expression and knew what she was thinking. He smiled proudly and said, โWhy donโt you believe me? Well, if you donโt, you can return to the lab and have a look or ask the others. Donโt be silly, Olivia. You canโt overpower someone stronger than you.โWhat do you think Lily can offer you since sheโs gone? Has she ever cared about you? Do you even know what sheโs doing now? Lily was on a first-class flight and got picked up by a Rolls-Royce. What about you? Youโre living in a shabby rented house with your mother, and youโre throwing a tantrum with me and being absent from work.โHow long can your savings last? A year or two, or maybe three to five months? What will you do after that? Have you ever thought about your future? Your contract will expire in two years, so I will hang on to you before it does, and I wonโt approve if you want to resign.โIf you insist on leaving, you can pay the compensation. Do you think you can afford to challenge me, Oliv

If Olivia continued her charades, it would only lead to her having no salary. Without income, she would go into debt with expenses like rent, utilities, etc. After all, money was everything, and without it, life would be miserable.Olivia returned to work as usual. If Nathaniel still insisted on deducting her salary, she could sue him. Besides, she wanted to return to see how they solved the issue. She was pretty clear about how the staff worked. Nathaniel would not want to keep her if she did not have the capabilities. The industry was relatively a niche, and very few people had outstanding perfuming skills. That was also why MN. Inc. was so reliant on Lily.Could it be that Melanie was also quite skillful?โฆIt was 6 p.m. at the hotel. After Melanie and Nathaniel finished their phone call, Melanie cried for a while. Then she fell asleep when she was tired and woke up quite late. She quickly got up to shower and dressed up for that nightโs planned activities.Melanie knew her a

Melanie got ready, but she did not receive any calls from Frank. Melanie thought something was off about this, so she went straight to Frankโs room to look for him. After ringing the doorbell for a long time, no one answered the door. Instead, she alerted a hotel server. โCan I help you, miss?โโI'm looking for Mr. Moreau. He is not answering. Iโm worried that something might have happened to him.โ She said anxiously.โOh, Mr. Moreau left about half an hour ago.โ The server replied with a smile.โHe left?! No, thatโs impossible!โ Melanie could not believe what she had heard. โWe agreed to go together, but he hasn't called me yet. How could heโฆโSuddenly, something came to her mind, and her heart began to race. โWas it because I rejected Frank? No, that canโt be. Didnโt he say he wouldnโt force it if I didnโt want to? He couldnโt have stood me up because I rejected him!โOf course, the organizing committee had invited Melanie to the event, but nothing could compare to her showing u

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?
