As their boss had ordered, they should be courteous first before using force. If Ralph were willing to go with them without much trouble, everything would go smoothly. However, they would not need to be polite if he resisted. They were given orders to shove their way in and drag him away. These words successfully woke Ralph up. The memories of what happened came rushing in. He remembered the fire he set, the raging flames, and his mother's words. How did they find him so quickly? Were they going to drag him back as a convict?The colors of his face immediately drained, but Hannah had already opened the door before he could decide what to do. The man outside stopped ringing the doorbell and looked at her. With a men's shirt on, Hannah stood there calmly. Her two long, slender legs were exposed. "What do you guys want?" Hannah held the door frame with one hand and pulled the door open a crack with the other. She had no intention of fully opening the door.The man outside the do

Hannah leaned very close to Ralph, with one hand on the door and the other on his shoulders, looking at him affectionately. "What are you afraid of?""I-I'm not afraid!" He replied with trembling lips. He was terrified but could not let it show in front of the woman he liked.However, Hannah smiled and said, "It's okay to be scared. Nothing is embarrassing about that. With me here, you don't have to be afraid."Ralph noticed her exaggerated tone and nonchalant gaze. He thought she seemed different from before and not the same gentle and docile Hannah he once knew. Ralph was a little confused as he stared at her, frowning. "Are you genuinely Annie orโฆ"'Or are you Heather pretending to be Annie?' Why were the two so alike?โHannah's face immediately dropped when she heard what he said. "What did you say?! Repeat it!""No, no, no. I-It's nothing! I'm just spouting nonsense!" Startled, Ralph quickly took back what he said and waved around as he struggled to explain himself. For a mo

When Hannah heard this, her anger disappeared utterly. Instead, she casually said, "Who do you take me for? As long as you have me in your heart, thereโs nothing you need to be sorry for!"With that, she leaned into his arms.Although this beautiful woman had snuggled in his chest, all Ralph could think about was how Alexander was looking for him. Was it illegal for Ralph to burn his own house? If Alexander took back his properties, would it be considered arson?Although Hannah was a little unhappy when she sensed his absent-mindedness, what he said just now had piqued her interest. "Why would you go to jail? You didn't break any laws.""Iโฆ" Ralph trailed off. After licking his dry lips, he continued, "I burned down my house yesterday."You burnt down your own house?!" She looked up at him in surprise and bewilderment. "Why would you burn down your house? Do you mean the Russell Estate?""No!" He sighed. Then with her support, the two sat on the sofa, and he roughly told her what

"What's wrong? Donโt you believe me? I'll take you home to have a look then." Upon saying that, Hannah pulled Ralph up with her. "Follow me!""Wait, hold up!""What's the matter? Do you distrust me that much?" Hannah was starting to lose her patience.On the other hand, Ralph did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "We need to change before we leave!"Then he gestured to the two of them. How could they leave the house dressed like that?Ralph had a lingering feeling of surrealness on the way to Heather and Hannahโs place. It was not that he had never been here before, but he would usually stay outside. He went in only when Heather was in a good mood.Now, he was sitting in their family car with the daughter of the Riggs family next to him. Then the two walked in together openly. At the door, the servants humbly greeted them and took Ralphโs coat.Even as he stood in the middle of the house, he was still in a daze. Although this house was nothing compared to the Russell

The door opened, and a musty smell came from inside. Ralph quickly covered his nose, and his eyes were greeted with an unbelievable scene. There was only a single light bulb in the dungeon. The interior was small, with only a bed in the corner. On the bed was a person, and because of the bad lighting, he could not see the person's face. However, he could easily guess who it was."Is that your sister?" Ralph asked softly as he turned to look at Hannah. Although his voice was soft, the drowsy Heather still heard it and frowned. "Who's there?!"Hannah smiled at Ralph before taking two steps inside. "My dear sister, it's me, of course. Are you still hoping someone else will find you at this point?""You think you've won now, don't you?" Heather spat with a sneer. "I don't 'think' I won because I already did. Don't you think so? Do you think you'd have another chance to stand, Heather? Don't be stupid! How long youโll live will depend on my mood.""Why don't you kill me right now?

"Today was just a setback. As for you two, you've been losers your whole life and will always be!" Heather stared at the two of them mockingly, as if they were the ones that lost. Her gaze was piercing. Despite the situation she was in right now, she did not show any weakness at all. Her words struck a chord with Ralph.She was right. His whole life, he had been a failure. Although he had been doted on by his mother since childhood, his father had never seen him in a good light. Ralph used to think his father was biased, but now he finally understood the real reason behind it. Ralph was not Hugoโs biological son. He was not a Russell. That was why Hugo had never planned to hand over the Russell family to Ralph.From the very beginning, he was not qualified to fight for the family properties. Still, for years, he continued doing so. Now, all his plans became the joke of the town. In the end, even his mother, who loved him the most, abandoned him. Ralph had nothing left. All he c

Ralph nodded. "I am! Of course, I'm happy! It's just that I agree with her. I'm a loser, and I've been a failure my whole life!"Looking down at his own hands, he had never felt so powerless. It was depressing and frustrating."Don't listen to what she says!" Hannah scowled. "She's only putting up a brave face right now. When have you failed? You're standing here right now while she lies in the dark alone. She's the loser here!" "I have nothing right now. You're the only one who sees me. Iโm a loser," Ralph mumbled bitterly."Who said you have nothing? You still have me!" She handed him an apple and only smiled after he took a bite. Then, she continued, "Besides, success and failure are temporary. Even if you have nothing now, it doesn't mean you won't have anything in the future.โI didn't even have a life I could call my own ever since I was born, but look at me now! Don't worry. Iโll help you get back everything that you deserve!" She comforted him.Hearing this, Ralph could

Today was the first time in a long while that Ralph could sleep soundly without much worry. After all, even if any of the Russell family wanted to come over, they could not just enter at their own will.However, he tossed and turned for a long time. When he turned to the side and looked at the person sleeping next to him, he was a little dazed by what he saw.The woman looked beautiful when she slept. He used to think she was cute and docile, but after seeing how Heather turned out, he realized Hannah was more unpredictable than he imagined.Back then, he used to think Heather was hard to read. Little did he know that Hannah was even harder to see through. These two sisters appeared alternately in his mind, giving him a headache.Ultimately, he got up and went to the balcony for a smoke. As he reflected on his life, he felt that he had always been caught up in a whirlwind.Then a thought appeared in his mind. โThis is good. With Hannah by his side, I have control of the Riggs fami

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? Just be careful, and donโt be rash like you promised," Aust
