Melanie shook her head, “Maybe it’s just too stuffy in here. Let’s go for a walk and have something to eat outside?”

“Okay, let me change. Where do you have in mind?” He stood up and asked.

“I’m still quite tired, so I don’t feel like going somewhere far. Why don’t we just go to the hotel’s restaurant?” Melanie lowered her head, acting as if she was exhausted.

“Sure!” Nathaniel replied without giving it much thought.

After getting changed, Melanie went to the hotel’s restaurant with Nathaniel. Since her mind was filled with thoughts of Frank, the moment she entered, her eyes immediately found Frank’s table. Her grasp on Nathaniel’s arm tightened as she tried to put on a calm exterior.

“A table for two,” Nathaniel said to the waiter. They were led to a table at the back when Melanie pretended to notice something. She nudged Nathaniel and said, “Isn’t that Mr. Moreau over there?”

Honestly, Nathaniel was not at all happy bumping into Frank. However, he was a fami

    The waiter served the food, and Melanie kept staring at the steak in front of her, slowly cutting it with her utensils and patiently cutting it into small pieces. In comparison, the two men seemed much more casual.“I haven’t had the time to thank you for your help, Mr. Moreau. You were right. After we adjusted the formula according to your note, we fixed the essential oil. Now the factory is back in full swing, even though the incident delayed our deliveries for a few days.“It took time, but we made up for it. Fortunately, the customers were understanding. It’s all thanks to you, and I appreciate it,” Nathaniel raised his glass as he said sincerely.Frank smiled faintly, "It’s no big deal." He also raised his glass.Melanie straightened her back abruptly when the two glasses clinked.Keenly aware of Melanie’s reaction, Nathaniel immediately put down his glass and asked concernedly, “What’s wrong?”Melanie shook her head and smiled. "I'm just a little tired, that’s all. You guys

    Nathaniel thought, ‘Frank has the fame, status, power, and wealth, so he surely has access to all the beautiful women he could ever want. Also, my mother introduced Frank to me, so he must be a friend of hers. Why would he lust for Mel?’With that thought in mind, Nathaniel felt relieved. He smiled at Frank, raised his glass, and said, “Thank you!” Then he downed his wine.Frank smiled inconspicuously. His eyes flashed behind his gold-framed spectacles."By the way, Mr. Moreau, how long will you be in the country? I’m unsure if you’re inclined to develop your career here." Now that Nathaniel had eliminated his doubts, he changed the subject, wanting to keep Mr. Moreau’s talents for his use."I’m not sure," Frank answered as he refilled his glass. Then he stared at the wine in his glass."Since you’re not sure, does that mean you’re up for consideration?" Nathaniel deliberately misunderstood his response. "If so, may I know which local company you like? Will it be possible for you

    Ignoring Nathaniel’s embarrassed expression, Frank gestured with three fingers, “Thirdly, what I dislike the most, is making friends." After speaking, Frank adjusted his jacket, stood up, and said, "I'll go get the bill. Enjoy your meal."That was a proper insult from Frank. Nathaniel was still full of hesitation earlier, trying to negotiate, but now he became furious. Considering their relationship, Nathaniel initially thought he could easily reach a consensus with Frank. Still, he did not expect Frank to be so callous and not give him any courtesy at all.‘Indeed, Frank is capable but does he think he’s the only great perfumer? He’s still far behind compared to the absolute top perfumers,’ Nathaniel downed his wine with this bitter thought in mind. Wanting to see if Frank had left, he turned around and saw a familiar figure. ‘Is that Lily?!’ He had almost forgotten she was here too. On the first day Melanie arrived, she ranted to him about it. Nathaniel squinted and saw Lily’s

    "No, but it's annoying. Still, you don't need to come and help me chase the dog." "Are you sure you want me to help? Then I'll head over." Alexander was more than happy to come and even more eager to announce their relationship to the world. "No! No thanks! I refuse!" Lily repeated three times, and he laughed out loud. "I'll be there for you anytime!" Alexander replied. Of course, it was impossible to ask him to help, and Nathaniel would not dare to do anything in such a public setting. However, hearing those words from Alexander made Lily feel at ease, and she smiled sweetly.Seeing her smile, Nathaniel was a little dizzy for a while. Given their long history together, he was used to having Lily by his side. He had grown accustomed to her busy schedule in the lab while dressed in work clothes daily, the peculiar aromas that permeated her body, and her unwavering expression and tone. However, these were the same reasons that made him feel very tired. How

    Lily sat up and looked at Nathaniel with an amused expression. She questioned him patiently, "Mr. Hall, if I remember correctly, you've been telling people that Ms. Thayer created your company's perfumes. Then, how could I have done something to your formula? “Besides, since Ms. Thayer created the perfume, she could just make alterations. How could I possibly be able to do anything to your formula? How was this my revenge?" Nathaniel had expected her to react this way, so he lowered his voice, "Lily, there isn't anyone around, so could you drop the act? We all know what's the deal with the formula. I admit I've used you, and I'm sorry. Still, you've almost destroyed my company. Now that you've left for Rebirth and doing well there, I won't ask much of you. I hope we can forgive and forget. How about that?" This was already his most significant concession. He would not press charges on what Lily had done, and she should not continue to hold grudges against him for his past mis

    "Mr. Hall, shouldn't you be accompanying your girlfriend? Why are you here bothering Lily? Lily is now our company's staff member, and she doesn't work for you anymore. If I were you, Mr. Hall, I would take care of my own affairs. You best be off before you lose something valuable." Jenny's condescending tone surprised Lily. What did she even mean by taking care of his affairs and losing something valuable? Nathaniel was also taken aback by Jenny's sudden mockery. He did not know her, so he did not know how to react."Ahh! I remember now. I wanted to tell you something!" After shutting Nathaniel up, Jenny finally remembered what she had wanted to tell Lily. Lily looked at her with curiosity. "What was it?"When Jenny was about to share her discovery, she noticed Nathaniel was still there. She turned toward him again. "Mr. Hall, don't you have something else to attend to? We’re a little busy here, as you can see, so could you kindly leave?" Before Nathaniel could react

    Jenny lowered her voice and told Lily secretively, “I just witnessed a secret affair.”Lily looked at her with slight disapproval and shook her head, “I didn’t know you had such a hobby.”“What’s with that look? How could you just judge me like that? I was only noisy because it was somewhat related to you. Why else would I be interested if it was just some random person? Besides, they were quite unsightly!” Jenny reasoned heatedly.“What do you mean by 'related to me?’” Lily asked as she pointed to herself.“It involves your ex’s current girlfriend. So isn’t that somewhat related to you?” Lily did not even realize who Jenny was talking about, “Are you referring to Melanie?”Jenny nodded, “Do you have another ex I should know of?”“What did you see?” Lily was not exactly interested, but she felt like she had to ask as Jenny was excited about sharing this piece of gossip with her.“I stayed in the bathroom for a while since I had a tummy ache. While I was in there, I heard someone rushin

    Jenny was quite surprised at how relaxed Lily was as she looked at Lily’s figure. Lily did not dwell on her past relationship that failed. Instead, she chose to be cool about it and moved on. Lily was now in a new relationship and living her life in style.She would have never expected to stay in the same hotel as Melanie and Nathaniel if she did not run into each other at the restaurant. Then again, that was the best hotel in town, so most who attended the sampling event stayed there. The prices also differed, depending on the floor the rooms were on.Lily waited a while before entering the elevator to Alexander’s room. She did not notice last time, but his floor was unusually silent. It was as if no one stayed on the same floor. Also, a thick carpet covered the hallway, making her footsteps discrete.Alexander’s room door was wide open when Lily arrived. “Did you book the whole floor?” She asked as she stood at the entrance. Lily observed both ends of the hallway and guessed it wa

    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
