Fortunately, Anastasia had little interest in sweet beverages. Now, she was just actively trying to drink water.Maria rushed over and pushed all the snacks on the counter to the ground when she saw her niece walking toward the kitchen counter. Anastasia was speechless. Ultimately, she quietly hovered over Maria's hands and took a glass of water.Maria watched her quietly. When she noticed the change in Anatasia's complexion, she quickly explained, "Tasia, don't be offended! I was just looking out for you. Look at you. You shouldn't be eating these things.""I don't want to eat them," Anastasia answered solemnly. She was full today, and she was not craving any snacks. She was just a little thirsty."That's great!" Maria exclaimed, even though she did not believe Anastasia. "I was afraid Mrs. Russell mightโve influenced you. You know your dad has been worried sick about you. I heard you've been controlling your diet, haven't you? It seems like it's working. You look a little thinner

"Iโฆ" Maria was dumbfounded. "Why wouldn't I care about how you feel? I'm telling you privately, aren't I? On top of that, I'm just telling the truth! You need to face reality! Do you want me to lie to your face and tell you that you're not fat?โDo you want me to tell you that you're too thin and should eat more? Is that what Lily has been telling you? Only your family would be honest with you, and sometimes honesty is hard to swallow. However, you must know we're doing this for your good. Why would outsiders try and help you?"Maria continued to persuade her niece, "Look at you. You've known her for a few days, and you're already saying hurtful things to your aunt. I think you should stay away from her. As your aunt, why would I try to hurt you?""I just said one thing, and you're already offended? Aunt Maria, your heart must be made of glass! All these years, you've been saying these nasty things to me. Why didn't you stop to think about how it'll hurt me?" Anatasia questioned col

Fabian instantly understood that Mariaโs anger stemmed from somewhere else, and she was here to vent. He calmly summoned a housekeeper to clean up the mess and poured himself another glass.Then he casually ate his peanuts and asked, "What did she do this time? You know how she is. She's a young lady with a temper, so you must be more patient with her.""Be more patient? Then why don't you do it? That niece of yours is getting more unbearable now. She would throw a small fit back then because she wanted to eat. She has started to answer back to everything I say while also slamming cups.โShe even questioned me, saying I didn't consider how she felt when I was in her house!" As Maria explained her situation, rage began to pulse through her veins. She wondered if any of the maids had seen what had happened."Oh? She said that?" Fabian raised his eyebrows and sipped his wine. He was a little surprised by what he heard."Who else would've said that? Me? What is she rambling about? Wit

"Look at you. I just meant that wouldn't it be good if you could be a Secretary like Cameron? I'm not saying that I want to marry him. Why are you so uptight?" Maria nudged him and continued, "Besides, with Cameronโs dull temperament, only your sister can stand him. I could never!"She couldn't afford to offend her husband. After all, she still wanted to live a life where she didn't have to worry about having a roof over her head. Therefore, she quickly tried to coax him.Upon hearing this, Fabian's face lifted. "That's true. He's too uptight. To be honest, he's like a thorn in my flesh. I doubt he could climb to where he is now without that temperament of his!"After muttering a few words, he continued to drink his wine. Then he thought of something and turned his head to look at her. "By the way, have you figured out what kind of miracle doctor you've been seeing yet?""Don't even talk about that. I didn't see him because your niece refused to see him. If you ask me, I think Mrs.

On top of that, it was unnecessary for the company's president to come for a bid. If their company had a good plan, one of their employees could do it for them.However, Fabian shook his head and looked at Maria. "You don't understand anything! Do you know why Alexander went abroad? According to one of the sources, something happened to his factory in Burnwken.โThere's some sort of poisoning among his staff. Regardless of whether it's something he can deal with or how chaotic Burnwken is, once he leaves, who knows when heโll come back."Fabian hoped that Alexander would not return. It would be even better if he died there. Once Alexander died, La Beaute Group would be in chaos. Following that, the company's market share would drop, which would be when Fabian would step in and buy a large portion of the company. Then he would take advantage of this opportunity to surpass them.Even the thought of this made him laugh out loud."It's so chaotic in Burnwken. Why does he have to go th

"Ree, do you know what time it is? Why are you still experimenting? Even though you're back, you're rarely at home. You stay out so much that I barely see you," Maria said.However, the voice on the other end was calm. "Even if I'm home, how often would you see me?""Iโฆ" Maria was at a loss for words.Rhea was right because Maria was rarely home herself. She would go out to play cards with her friends or go shopping every day. Recently, she had been occupied with this miracle doctor and would always drop by Cameron's house."Then let's go shopping when youโre back. Don't spend your days stuck in the lab. What's there to do there? How can you find a boyfriend if you lock yourself up in that place? You're not young anymore; if you don't start thinking for yourself, I'd have to step in! Are there any boys chasing you right now?"Sure enough, Maria brought up this topic again.The call went silent, and Maria thought the call had gotten disconnected, so she checked to see if Rhea was

Unexpectedly, Rhea said, "I know! You're talking about Mr. Dominic's secret apprentice. Is there any proof of it? As far as I know, he has never disclosed who his apprentice is. Could he just be a fraud?""No, no!" Maria quickly defined. "I heard about this from an insider. It took me a lot of effort to find that informant. I'm sure the news is reliable! Mr. Austin has never publicly declared that he is Mr. Dominic's secret apprentice. He's not a liar. He took excellent care of my friend's cousin's grandson!"Rhea was speechless at her mother's feeble attempt to convince her."All right, now. Let's not talk about this. It's making me angry! That brat doesn't even appreciate my efforts!" The more Maria talked about this, the angrier she became. In the end, she waved around and stopped talking."Did you say that Anastasia doesn't want to be cured? That she doesn't want to lose weight?" Rhea asked again after returning to her senses."Who knows?! I think Mrs. Russell is brainwashing

The lights in the instituteโs laboratory were on all night. Austin yawned at the crack of dawn as he removed his mask and washed his hands. He rubbed his worn-out, swollen eyes as he left the lab.He had not stayed up for two nights straight in vain. They were already at their final stage. He did not think the problem was that serious.Over the past two days, he had carefully pondered the issue at hand. Since Lily could do it, why couldn't he? How was she any better than him? She was only a part of this project earlier than him and had more experience than him.Since she had more opportunities for practice, she would be further along than he. He must have been too impatient these days to have overlooked this.With this new point of view, he let himself get caught up in the project and worked long hours. He wanted to spend more time narrowing the gap between him and Lily. He needed to achieve something.If he failed to overthrow this woman, he would have to reevaluate himself.Aus

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?
