Alexander was not home when Lily arrived. She went to wash up, changed into her home clothes, and made herself a cup of hot cocoa before taking a seat to open the folder Justin had given her earlier.

He said it was some information she might need, but she did not ask him to search for anything, so she had no idea what it was about. After taking the papers out, Lily glanced at them and caught sight of Nathaniel's name. ‘It’s about him?’

Once she scanned the documents, she was surprised to find that it was the result of an investigation into Nathaniel’s background, where the most crucial part was his relationship with his mother.

The document had detailed information about Eloise. Everything from her identity to her current status, and even facts like Eloise introducing Frank to Nathaniel. The last page had the most critical information, however. It was the DNA test of Nathaniel and his mother.

This information astonished Lily. She knew nothing about Nathaniel’s family, even though t

    She fiddled with the doll with her fingers, sighed, and said, "Tell me, where did that young man go?"Across her, the wooden doll stared back with a smile. …Nathaniel called Eloise as soon as he got home, but both of his calls were declined. Seeing this, he assumed that it must be inconvenient for her to pick up his calls, so he dared not to call again. However, he was too agitated to sit still and turned on his computer to look at that day’s sales data and check the situation online. He saw that the sales were still declining, and although the rate of product returns had decreased, there were still many applications for it. Nathaniel had already released a statement, so he could not retract it. Now, the only matter he could focus on was to deliberately slow down the after-sales process and try to minimize the losses while he rebuilds his reputation. At the same time, new staff were being recruited to speed up the processes in the laboratory. Nathaniel planned to launch a few new

    "About that…" After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "I didn't aggravate her. She's the one who made things difficult for me. Now that the public has stated their opinion, sympathy is useless. Everyone believes Lily. If the product return rate continues like this every day, it's over for our company.""You…" She was so angry that she could barely stand up. Eloise did not speak. Instead, the sound of footsteps was heard from her end. She was probably looking for a convenient place to talk, and once she found it, she glowered, "She played no role in the plan I gave you! You know exactly what forces are behind her, yet you continue to provoke her. Aren't you just courting death?!""No, I told you. I didn't do anything. She started it first. No matter how pitiful I try to be now, no one would believe me!" Nathaniel felt helpless. Eloise snorted coldly. "I don't think you have to pretend to be pitiful. You're already an id*ot!" Nathaniel was speechless. Then, Eloise said, "Okay,

    "Tell us! What did you buy?""That's a big piece of furniture!"Many colleagues gathered around curiously, and some even leaned in to look inside. However, the box was so tightly sealed that all they saw were wooden boards. "I didn't buy it!" Lily shook her head and put one hand on the wooden box. "Did the security say anything else about who had sent it?"Her colleagues all shook their heads and said that they did not know. Tapping her fingers on the wooden frame, Lily not only wondered who sent it but also how to open it. Who knew what was inside this enormous box? Could it be that she had been in the limelight too much recently and someone sent her something to retaliate? When this thought flashed through her mind, she abruptly pulled her hand back as if she was afraid something inside the box would bite her."Wow, this box is huge!" Olivia rushed over with pancakes in her hands. "What's inside?"Lily looked at her and casually said, "A bomb!"Olivia instantly jumped back. Fortun

    "Oh, I understand. Don't worry. It'll be fine."After hanging up the phone, she worriedly stared at the enormous wooden box. She had no idea how the security guard brought it up. It was a struggle even to wrap her whole arms around the box. Alexander told her to get someone to move the box to somewhere spacious; who was she going to ask to do that?While Lily was stressing out about this, Olivia, beside her, beamed excitedly. Olivia had already eaten her breakfast and cleaned up before she came over. When she noticed Lily staring at the box, Olivia went toward her and asked, "Why haven't you opened it?""I'm scared this might be a prank." Then Lily turned to look at Olivia helplessly and said, "Besides, how do you dismantle this thing?""It should be quite easy. You'll need a plier and a screwdriver to open it!" Olivia seemed to be well-versed in this."Then, you do it!" Lily instantly took the opportunity to ask for Olivia's help.After rolling up her sleeves, just as Olivia was

    “If this isn’t a gift from that b*stard Nathaniel, then… it's from your boyfriend.” Olivia smiled meaningfully at Lily.She was the only one who knew who Lily’s boyfriend was. Lily had wanted to deny it but changed her mind. If she kept denying it, the others would be even more interested in the person, and their curiosity about him might exceed the gift itself. Lily did not want people to keep asking about this matter, so she responded vaguely, “Yeah!”“Wow, look at how creative her boyfriend is!”“Yeah, I’ve seen people gift flowers, chocolates, make-up, and handbags, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone gifting a wooded sculpture.”“By the way, shouldn’t your boyfriend send you rare spices or plants instead, Lily? A gift you’ll surely like!”Her colleagues chattered non-stop. Jenny saw their excitement and coughed, “Why don’t I see you guys actively speak up during meetings instead?” Her sudden reminder woke everyone up. It was still working hours, and they were still i

    The trio was stunned when they read the apology post.How could this be called an apology statement? It was more like a shift-the-blame statement. Nathaniel wrote a long article, but the trio could only summarize it as follows: Firstly, Nathaniel had spent the past few days carefully checking, scrutinizing, and researching the experiential records and could finally prove that the previous products were indeed Lily’s work and not Melanie’s.The reason for the previous misunderstanding was because of Melanie’s deception. He was also deceived and did not know the truth. Now that Nathaniel knew, he deeply regretted it and wanted to apologize to Lily.Secondly, the relationship between him, Melanie, and Lily was a personal issue, and Nathaniel did not want to discuss it publicly. However, due to everyone’s concern, he wanted to make it clear that he had no regrets as he was in love.Nathaniel wrote a long article with the conclusion that he was willing to apologize to Lily with utmost

    “Yes, pretend you didn’t see it.” Lily turned around and looked at the standing wooden crane sculpture, “You can consider it a break. There’s not much time for you to relax as the new work is about to start.”“We have a new project?” Olivia was eager. She had not worked in a while, and her hands were beginning to itch. Even though working in a lab might be exhausting, it was gratifying.“Soon!”…It shocked Alexander when he saw the wooden crane sculpture in the living room as soon as he got home. It stood out!“This is…” He said hesitantly.Lily had just cleared up some space and was about to move the sculpture when she saw him return. She waved at him, “You came back just in time. Come help me move it.”‘Do you still need help moving this?’ He took off his coat, rolled up his sleeve, and waved her away. He lifted the sculpture and moved it to the spot she cleared up.“You bought it?”“Someone gave it to me.” Lily shook her head and looked at it carefully. The artistry wa

    When Alexander noticed the change in her face, he understood it might be a sensitive topic and immediately said, "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to." Lily was grateful for how considerate he was. His thoughtfulness had shown in the past few days that they spent together, and she allowed herself to let her guard down completely.Now that she thought about it, Nathaniel had never shared his life before, and it was the same for her. Although the two of them had been together for so long, there was no proper bond between them. They hid secrets from each other while having their walls up. Therefore, it was inevitable that they became what they are now."I've never told you about my family," Lily said as she warmly took his hand and led him to the sofa.Seeing how gentle she was, Alexander quickly quieted down and took her hand, nodding slightly. “Yes." "I was born in Brown City," she said slowly. "I'm from the Lodge family of Brown City.""The Lodge family?""

    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
