Nathaniel held his cigarette in one hand, tilted his head, scratched his scalp with his pinky finger, and walked toward her slowly, “Still, I must be courteous enough and make the stakes clear to you. Since you insist on being so stubborn and disobedient, I have no choice but to calm you down first. Then we can talk.”

He raised his chin, glanced at his men, and turned around. For such a simple matter, he felt no need to do it himself. Immediately after, he heard wind whirring and the faint sound of fists and feet colliding with bodies behind him. Nathaniel frowned and was about to turn around to tell his men to be more discrete. He wondered why his two bodyguards had so much trouble dealing with a woman.

However, he froze in place just as he turned to his side. A sharp wind blew across his cheeks, and at the same time, he felt a sharp blade on his neck. The blade glinted with a frigid light, and Nathaniel could feel the cold steel. Sweat from his sideburns trickled down his cheeks as

    “Why are you here?” Even though she asked, Lily was quite pleased to see Alexander at that moment.Alexander glanced at Lily, thoughtfully turned down the air conditioner in the back console, took a shawl, and put it around her. “Did you get into trouble lately?” By his estimation, Lily should have exited the building long ago. Alexander almost wanted to get out of the car to check on her himself.“It’s no big deal.” Lily gestured with her fingers, indicating no problem, but after raising her hand, she pulled her injury and involuntarily hissed. Hearing her gasp, Alexander frowned and pulled Lily closer. “Are you hurt?” His expression was grim, his tone even grimmer. The fact that he was pissed showed on his face.Lily quickly explained, “N-No, I just haven’t stretched my muscles for a long time. I feel a little sore, that’s all.” Lily was afraid Alexander would not believe her, so she turned to face him, saying, “If you don’t believe me, just look. Where am I injured?”Alexander s

    Over the past few days, Alexander did for her things Nathaniel had never done and was incapable of doing in the last few years. “That’s because… you are my wife.”While saying this, Alexander leaned in to kiss Lily on the lips. Although she was a little shy, she did not move away, and her response greatly encouraged Alexander.He pursed his lips in satisfaction and deepened the kiss.…When Nathaniel returned home, he felt defeated and humiliated. He never imagined one day he would be threatened with a knife to the neck, let alone by Lily!Why was Lily so good at boxing, and when did she learn it? How could he have been unaware of the fact? That said, what else did he not know about her? Crunch! He had stepped on a piece of debris. Melanie sat on the living room sofa amid the mess, holding a cushion in her arms. Seeing Nathaniel, she raised her arm and hurled the cushion toward him. “I thought you’d never come back!”Nathaniel dodged, and the cushion hit the door behind him

    Nathaniel was not kidding. Soon, he put up a lawyer's letter on the company homepage in which he threatened legal action against Lily, demanded an apology, and sought compensation for the company's financial losses.Not only was the letter posted on MN Inc.’s website, but platforms such as Twitter and Reddit all had the same statement. MN Inc. appeared to be taking this seriously. Given that MN Inc. was taking such a firm stance while Rebirth was utterly silent, the public opinion quickly became one-sided. Although the press conference events were bewildering, and some people had begun to believe in Lily's innocence, they soon changed their minds after reading MN Inc.'s statement.If Rebirth was innocent, why were they silent? Why did Lily fail to produce any favorable evidence?Faced with MN Inc.’s accusation, Lily maintained a low profile, but she answered by reposting MN Inc.’s statement and lawyer’s letter with the caption, “Bring it on.”The caption seemed understated but

    However, Rebirth was just a subsidiary of La Beauté Group, and its relationship with the parent company was ambiguous. No one from Rebirth had yet to express any support for Lily.Olivia felt uneasy. Under Nathaniel's constant urging, she returned to the office to investigate what had transpired.Meanwhile, Lily officially reported for duty at Rebirth. Although they had negotiated a deal, the contract had not been signed. An appointment was made the day before for Lily to come in for work. According to Alexander, Lily should familiarize herself with the company before officially starting work. Owing to Lily's vehement insistence, Alexander did not intervene too much. He left it to Edward Sullivan to handle Lily's onboarding. Even so, Lily knew that her arrival would not be peaceful.Walking through the office, Lily arrived at the general manager's office. Three people were waiting inside, two of whom she had met."Mr. Will."Sitting in the middle was George Will, the general m

    George could not tolerate others questioning him like this. “Ms. Gray, mind your words,” George said with a darkened expression.“There’s nothing wrong with my words. I’m just speaking my mind. I don’t know Ms. Christian’s background, but I will never let a plagiarist into my team!” After saying this, Jenny Gray turned and left the office.“M-Ms. Gray! W-Wait…” The human resources manager could not stop Jenny and sighed embarrassedly. “Ms. Gray is short-tempered and blunt with her words, Mr. Will. However, she is doing this for the good of the company. Please don’t mind her attitude.”“Would she still be the project manager if I minded her attitude?” George shook his head and turned toward Lily, saying, “You shouldn't take her words seriously too. That’s just how Ms. Gray is, but you’ll get to know her better. She has a kind heart, even though she has a bad temper and is overly blunt. I think you two will be able to work together and get along well in the future.”‘Get along, huh?’

    Anthony opened the door and peeked his head in. ”Mr. Hall, Olivia Hart is here.” “Let her in.” Nathaniel nodded. Olivia put away her phone awkwardly and entered the office with a forced smile. ‘Forget it. It’s better to check the situation first before telling Lily.’“M-Mr. Hall.” After addressing Nathaniel rather stiffly, Olivia stood by the side silently while waiting for him to speak. To be honest, Olivia did not like Nathaniel very much. She followed Lily for quite some time as the duo buried themselves with work in the laboratory.Olivia had always thought of herself as diligent, as she was one of the most hardworking students during her school days. Only after following Lily did Olivia find someone as hardworking as her. The duo would be so engrossed with lab work that they sometimes forgot to eat and sleep.Olivia had even lost count of times when she helplessly fell asleep in the laboratory. Even when she woke up, she saw Lily still recording, analyzing, and researching

    “Lily disobeyed the company’s arrangements and joined another company, betraying MN Inc. in the process. That is why we’ve fired her,” Nathaniel said as he tossed an envelope on the table indifferently. Then he continued, “You’ve been with us for quite some time, and we know you’re a capable employee. Keep up the good work; we trust you will have a bright future ahead!”Olivia looked at the thick envelope.“Open it.” Nathaniel motioned for her to open the envelope with his chin while smiling complacently. When he tossed the envelope on the table earlier, the flap opened slightly, revealing a stack of 100-dollar bills. Olivia knew the envelope contained a considerable amount of money without opening it.“Mr. Hall, are you trying to bribe me?” Olivia asked, her brows raised, but she did not pick up the envelope.“What are you talking about?” Nathaniel pursed his lips, shaking his head. “This is the company’s remuneration to you. As long as you keep up the good work and obey the compa

    However, his threat meant nothing to Olivia. She paused her steps and slowly turned around. The sight of his angry face made her chuckle. “Do as you wish, Mr. Hall! From now on, I’ll choose when I want to work and what time I’ll arrive. If you wish to penalize me for being late or playing hooky, go ahead!”Then Olivia opened the door and walked out of his office.“You’re letting her go just like that?” In disbelief, Melanie stared at the door through which Olivia had exited, then turned to Nathaniel and said, “She’s going to tell the press all that nonsense! How could you let her leave?”With a dark expression, he roared in return, “What should I have done instead? We’re at the company building! Do you know how many people saw her enter my office? Do you think I could lock her up?”“What should we do now?” Melanie was anxious and bit down on her lip. There are a lot of folks who are doubtful of her these days. The name Melanie had made for herself with much difficulty was now r

    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
