“We locked her up in the backyard,” Alexander said, “Would you like to see her?”

He thought Cameron would not want to do that after what she had done to him.

After some thought, Cameron stood up and said, “I guess I should.”

Soon after, they arrived at the outhouse, and Alexander unlocked the door to enter first. Although he used the area to imprison Rhea, it was clean and did not stink. He looked inside and saw Rhea sitting against the wall in a daze.

She seemed discouraged for the past few days as if she had nothing to live for. However, she was lively when she tried talking terms with Alexander. It was like she had a split personality.

Alexander approached her and stopped Cameron from getting too close. “Rhea.”

She blinked and smiled slightly. “Why? Did you change your mind? If you’re not here to discuss working with me, fuck off! I don’t want to see you.”

“Well, there’s someone who’d like to see you.” Alexander stepped aside.

Rhea was disinterested in knowing who the visito

    Rhea knew what had happened to her father but did not care about him. Although Cameron knew she was ruthless, he did not expect her to treat her parents like nothing. “Aren’t you worried about him?” he could not help but ask with a frown.Rhea sneered, “I can’t even save myself. Besides, he’s too dumb to do business in a dog-eat-dog world. He should thank me for helping him sustain his business for so long.”Her words shocked Cameron and Alexander. Rhea noticed it and sat upright before saying, “I might sound harsh, but I’m speaking the truth. If you feel sorry for my dad, why don’t you just let him go? Would it make a difference if I pleaded on his behalf?”“He’s only in trouble because of you,” Cameron murmured. Rhea laughed. “What a joke! He would have gotten arrested long ago if it weren't for me. As you know, he’s done many stupid things over the years. It was just a matter of time before he ended up in jail, right?“You should blame the timing instead. If we could’ve pu

    Things had been strange at the embassy over the past two days. Although the staff continued their work as usual, they turned away almost all visitors and postponed most scheduled activities.The official explanation was an internal reshuffle of work for two days. However, according to a rumor, some embassy personnel had contracted a virus during the sanitation work. Some also heard the embassy had tried sweeping it under the rug to contain the commotion.No one knew where the gossip had originated, but it had also left the other foreign embassies uneasy. After all, the pandemic in Burnwken had only just ended.After witnessing or experiencing the pandemic, people wondered what would happen if another outbreak occurred. It caused everyone to be on edge, with each embassy starting its own investigations. Some even demanded an explanation from the Hyderland government.Puzzled by the rumor, the government tried to ask about it from the Yudonian embassy. However, the embassy continuo

    Lily put down her fork and knife, picked up a spoon, and cut into a cake. She ate it and closed her eyes to savor it.“It seems I’ve been too kind to you.” Fred stormed over and swept the food onto the floor. The cup and plates shattered when they landed.Lily gazed at him and casually licked the cream off her spoon. Meanwhile, the aide heard the noise and nearly ran upstairs to see what had happened. However, he stood rooted because Fred told him to stay downstairs no matter what.Fred was livid when he saw how calm Lily was. He would have strangled her if he did not need her. Worse, Lily’s following words would further provoke him.She put down her spoon and looked at him before looking at his hand that had swept off the food. She said, “Your arm has healed, huh?”Lily intentionally reminded him who had injured his arm.Fred’s arm had healed after using a splint for a few days, but it would still feel sore whenever he used it. Still, it was nothing compared to another thing Lil

    Fred could not figure out when Lily made the poison. After all, he had kept her under tight watch, using many surveillance cameras and listening devices.“Does it matter how I made it?” Lily smiled. “Maybe I know magic?”Fred was speechless. He saw her smile and released her, no longer as fierce as before. He groaned and slowly crouched in pain, one hand palming his stomach.Lily was not surprised to see that. She turned slightly and looked down at him. “Do you feel discomfort?”Fred did not answer.“Do you feel a burning sensation in your chest every noon? You’re hungry, but you don’t feel like eating, huh? Do you have severe diarrhea while your stomach hurts like hell?” Lily resembled a concerned doctor trying to diagnose him.Fred bit his lower lip, not answering. However, he knew she had perfectly described all his symptoms. Besides confirming Lily had poisoned him, he had been away due to illness.He did not take it seriously when he felt nauseous and threw up on the first

    “I’ll never let you go!” Fred roared.Lily clapped and walked aside to pour herself a glass of water while giving him a thumbs-up. “Bravo! So be it then, tough guy. I don’t care anyway. No one can save me besides myself.“Of course, I’m no match for you guys, and it would be best if you could set me free. If you won’t, we’ll just die together, right?” She gulped the water, acting like she no longer cared.“What about your children? Don’t you care about them?” Feeling slightly better, Fred held onto the table and staggered up.“So what if I do? Will you let them go?” Lily said as she shrugged helplessly.“I will!”Lily was so surprised that she spilled her water.Fred knew she still cared most about her children based on her reaction. After taking a deep breath, he struggled to stand, saying, “I’ll never let you go. You know how much resources we’ve invested in R10. Besides, you’re irreplaceable.”Lily remained quiet. She knew being irreplaceable was why she remained unharmed ev

    “I’m talking about Nick Corden,” Lily said. Puzzled, Fred frowned. “Nick Corden?”“Mike Corden’s son. You guys kidnapped the boy to force Mike into doing your bidding. Don’t tell me you don’t know about it,” Lily said bluntly.“Oh, that boy!” Looking as if he had just remembered who Nick was, he asked curiously, “Why do you care about someone else’s son? Or is he also yours?”Lily knew what he was implying by his annoying look and tone. She did not bother to argue with him. Instead, she said, “My babies and Nick are nothing compared to a duke like you. It’s an excellent deal, right?”Fred rested his chin in his hand and smiled. “I guess you’re right.”“So, is that a yes?” Lily asked. “No!” Fred said decisively. Lily stunned. She thought he would agree after hesitating for a moment. After all, Mike was useless to him now, and it was pointless to hold Nick hostage.‘Wouldn’t giving up Nick to save his own life be a good deal?’Lily stressed, “Think twice. It’s your life we’r

    Fred stopped and turned around to look at Lily expectantly. Lily saw his adamant expression and thought before asking, “Why?”Fred was puzzled. “Can you tell me why? Nick is useless to you. Why do you have to—"Before she could finish, Fred interrupted, “I have another use for him, so I’ll never set him free!”He probably did not want to waste his time and knew she could never escape. He added, “You and that kid can’t be part of your terms. Besides that, feel free to name anything else.”Fred sighed and palmed his chest in pain. His pain was real, so he would never make a deal with her if he had not felt something within him.Lily frowned, intrigued by what he said, but decided to put it aside. Considering his attitude, she could not save Nick. She knew she could not rescue her children if she missed this opportunity.“Okay! I’ll make a deal with you,” Lily said after taking two steps forward.“On what terms?” Fred asked, raising his brow. “Just release my children. You can

    Lily’s words terrified Fred, causing him to palm his stomach. “You’re just trying to scare me!”“You’ll soon find out whether or not I’m telling the truth,” Lily smiled and returned to sit back down while looking at him, “So? Do you want to make the deal? I’m tired and need my rest.”Fred glared at her, wondering if he should trust his words. Still, he could not tell if she was telling the truth. He initially thought she was bluffing about the poison, but the physician he visited proved him wrong.Fred did not know how much he could trust her this time. He slowly clutched his stomach when the pain returned. Although he looked calm, sweat dripped from his forehead.‘Should I take the risk?”After a momentary hesitation, he said, “Fine, I’ll give your children to your husband and show you the live feed. However, you must immediately give me the antidote afterward!”Lily nodded. “Deal!” …Alexander was at a loss when he suddenly received an anonymous letter. The letter told him t

    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
