Lily had a headache when she woke up. She opened her eyes and saw her familiar surroundings but still felt drowsy. The thin blanket over her body had fallen, and the air had a tinge of sweetness.

‘Did I sleepwalk?’

She remembered eating and drinking with Jenny and Olivia in the restaurant but wondered what had happened next. It was a blur. On the one hand, she had some impression of it, but her memory was not vivid on the other.

She felt dizzy when she put her feet on the floor and tried to stand up. After standing unsteadily for a while, she tried to sit down again. Only then did she feel better.

“You’re awake.” Alexander walked out of the kitchen and saw the situation. Yet he was unsure if she was sober or about to start another round of drunken ranting.

“Y-You fetched me home?” Lily asked with uncertainty with one hand on her temple.

“Your assistant fetched you home.” Alexander crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame. “I happened to be at the community's door and sa

    “What smells so good?” Lily rubbed her nose and could not help sneezing. The sudden sneeze spoiled the warm, loving atmosphere.“It’s hangover soup.” Alexander let go of Lily and straightened his body. Then he said, “I’ll go and get you some to drink.”By the time Lily sat up, Alexander had already carried a bowl over and put it in front of her. “Drink it while it’s hot. Then go back to the room, take a bath, and rest well.”“I’m not sleepy,” Lily mumbled softly, stirring the soup with a spoon. “Are you sure this is hangover soup?”Although she had never tried it before, she imagined hangover soup to taste weird. However, this soup tasted good. The lotus lily, walnut, red dates, plum, and other unidentifiable ingredients had a nice color and a pleasant taste.‘This is hangover soup?’“I think so.” Alexander did not seem to have any doubts since these were not questionable ingredients. “This is my first time making it. I found the ingredients online. The other hangover soup recipe

    Alexander pondered for a moment and determined the key points. “To a certain extent, they still consider you a newcomer.”Lily nodded in agreement.Although she had been in this field for a long time, few people knew she was a perfumer. This was because she worked behind the scenes the whole time and MN Inc. had stolen her past works. MN Inc. and Melanie took all her fame and reputation. Now, she was a known perfumer and was doing her work upfront. Her identity as a newcomer had given her plenty of room to show her talent, but at the end of the day, she was still a newcomer.The exclusive, high-end products were made for the rich and powerful, and the average person could not afford them. The product’s price was high, so the buyers were pickier. They looked for perfumers who were well known in other areas as well as perfumery.It was no longer a question of her abilities. It was basically unattainable.“I know that I’m not famous or well-known. Therefore, I’ll make other prepara

    It was the same this time. She could smell alcohol on him but could question nothing. All she could do was cover her nose with her hand and frown.“Did you drink?”“Your nose is that sensitive?” He smiled with indifference and moved closer to her.“Can you smell what I’ve eaten?”The smell of alcohol became stronger as he approached her. It made her feel sick, and she hurriedly took a few steps back. “Don’t do that!”“Don’t tell me you’re shy. This is also a part of your training. You must have a sensitive nose to work as a perfumer, right?” Frank laughed and reached out to touch her cheek.Melanie was not interested in continuing the conversation. “Okay, stop playing! Time is running out, and we need to find out the problem quickly. Remember what you promised me? Are you able to do this in your current condition?” “Are you very clear whether I am able to?” Frank reached out to press the elevator button while he looked at her meaningfully from top to bottom.Melanie was speech

    Melanie was not good enough because her nose was not sensitive, and she did not have sufficient talent. Her lack of practice also contributed further to her degenerated skills. However, she knew the basic principles and process and was helping on the sidelines.She must admit that Frank was very charming when he was working seriously. He carefully dripped the extracted essential oil and some other ingredients. Then he stirred the mixture to blend them. Finally, he placed it on the rack for the mixture to settle and waited for the result.He did three trials and made three test tubes of samples. He said, “One of them will be the result we are looking for. There might also be a surprise.”“Do you mean similar style series?” Melanie asked.“Looks like you are not too stup*d.” Frank raised his eyebrow and lifted her chin with his hand.Melanie turned to the side to avoid his touch. “However, similar style series are not very useful. Consumers won’t usually buy two perfumes of similar

    Before Melanie could breathe a sigh of relief, she felt herself being lifted and placed onto the table behind her. She panicked as she remembered her doctor’s advice. She tried to stop Frank by pushing against his chest, “Frank, wait, we can’t!”“We can’t?” His smiling face immediately darkened, “Mel, how could you just dump me after using me? Don’t forget. You still need me!”“No! It’s not that I’m trying to avoid you. It’s just…” Melanie still needed him, so she could not make him unhappy. She bit her lip and decided to tell him the truth, “I’m pregnant, so I can’t…”A glimpse of surprise flashed across Frank’s blue eyes, but then he remembered, “Mr. Hall’s?”Melanie nodded, “The doctor said my pregnancy is not very stable, so I didn’t mean to reject you, but you should know I have my reasons.”After listening to her explanation, Frank finally released her. He seemed like he had lost interest in continuing, “You’re saying that you’re due soon? Mel, I thought you were a twenty-fi

    Before Frank could say something, Melanie quickly continued, “Even though I’ve decided not to keep the baby, it doesn’t mean we can do it. I have inflammation now, and it might even affect you. Can we continue this after I’ve recovered, please?”Frank just stared at her silently.“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to keep my end of the promise. My informant has already informed me that Lily is on a break, and she will most likely go on a trip abroad. I might have trouble carrying out my plans in Sapphine, but it’ll be a different story when she’s abroad,” Melanie tried calming Frank down. She leaned into him while gently poking his chest.“Really?” Frank doubtfully questioned, as he did not trust her at all.“Of course! I heard her new product was a success, so I’m guessing she needs to leave to look for inspiration for her next product,” Melanie was annoyed when she thought about this, especially since she was having multiple problems here and there.Firstly, her health started to dete

    Frank held Melanie’s chin with force. “I’m indeed a player, but I’m not satisfied with just anyone! I want only the best,” he stressed as he moved closer, breathing down her neck. At that moment, he was like a vampire craving blood, and it terrified Melanie as she shivered. Thankfully, he had no fangs and did not try to bite her. Instead, he only placed his lips on her neck and gently bit her. “The scent that I love could only be found on perfumers like you!” Melanie froze. She could feel him slowly pulling away and letting her go, yet she did not dare move or breathe, fearing him changing his mind seconds later. In other words, Frank was only interested in female perfumers, as they were the ones who would come in contact with different scents for an extended period. Their body odor would always carry a hint of floral or spice scent, which might cause discomfort to some, but others loved it. ‘Does this mean that Frank was one of those?’ Her mind was a mess, and she need

    “There are other ways to help me.” Frank placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her around with force. “You could always try something creative!”     “Something creative?” Melanie was confused, but she understood what he was referring to when she met his sly gaze. It disgusted her just thinking about it, but she did not want to upset him, so she tried reasoning gently, “Frank, if you could just be patient for a little longer, I’ll get someone beautiful from the industry! How about your partners? I could drive you there! I still have morning sickness, so it would just be messy and…”Before she could even finish, Frank grabbed her by her hair and pulled her head back roughly, “Enough of your nonsense! What does your pregnancy have to do with me? Is the baby mine? Mel, you should know better than try playing games with me! Don’t forget that you still need me to help you win your year-end championship!”He looked at her menacingly, “You should feel honored that I’ve chosen you.

    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
