Over the past few days, Arianna did not have the time to watch Lily’s every move because there was a bigger problem at home.

No matter how unwilling or repelled she felt, Joseph brought his illegitimate son home and acknowledged him as part of the Tanner family. She was a step too slow.

After only glancing at him, Arianna went to look for her uncle, Derrick. She understood that her mother could not stop this from happening anymore. If there were anyone who could stop her lunatic father, it would be Derrick.

“Uncle Derrick, I heard you haven’t been feeling well recently. I got someone to bring these nutritious supplements back from overseas for you, and I hope you’ll be in better health after taking them.” Smiling, she pointed at the things she brought while appearing obedient.

Derrick nodded and coughed a few times before he spoke. “You’re a thoughtful one. Why didn’t your parents come with you?”

“My mom has been busy with the Women’s Federation, but she always worries about you a

    Nodding severely, Derrick agreed, “You're right. I thought the same, so I didn't stop your father.”Arianna fell silent. She would have suspected that Derrick was not being genuine if she were not in the Oakley mansion in front of her uncle, who had watched her grow since childhood.“You’re different from me, Uncle Derrick. No matter what my dad does, I must support him because I’m his daughter. You’re the head of the Tanner household, so I thought you would disagree with my dad to protect the family’s reputation.“The rumors are pretty disturbing too. My so-called brother is relatively young, so what will the company employees and shareholders think if my dad allows him to join the company? Will even more rumors appear? I’m worried about our family’s reputation.”Arianna sighed and continued, "I know I shouldn't talk too much about these things, but as a family member, I must consider our family’s reputation. My dad was a little too impatient this time!"She looked anxious and wo

    It was already noon when Lily woke up. She felt a lot more energetic after taking a good rest. After cleaning herself, she was ready to leave.She asked Kasey to leave her address last night, but Kasey only gave her phone number. To prevent disappointment, Lily headed out ahead of schedule.While leaving, she dialed the number, and it quickly connected. "Hey, where will we meet later? By the way, are the fields ready? I want to check it out.”Lily had already reached the gate when she finished speaking. However, Kasey’s voice sounded at the other end of the call, but she seemed hesitant in her reply, “I-I’m sorry, I can’t sell the grass anymore. I was just bragging and didn’t have as much of it as I said I did.”"What?" Lily’s worst-case scenario had come true. Indeed, high expectations would always lead to disappointments. However, she felt things were not as straightforward as Kasey said after noticing her hesitance.Lily said affirmatively, “Are you not satisfied with the price

    "Why so impatient?" The other party smiled and said, "Since you're so impatient, let’s not wait for the afternoon. Why not... now?""Now?"She froze for a while, then saw the door open with a "click.” Standing at the door was Noah, who had just left in the morning. He was still holding the phone in his hand and shook it at her casually, with a face that could not hide his smugness.That explains why the voice was so familiar. She did not expect it to be him again! It appears he was the other girl's uncle, who was there last night. Does this mean he took the initiative and bought all the Water Hyssops the previous night?It made sense why he claimed that if Lily joined the society, she would have access to various rare materials simply by following his orders. Was that a proper threat? "I knew that you’d take the initiative to find me," Noah walked in with a grin and raised his foot. He continued, "Have you thought about it? What do you think? Are you going to change yo

    Raising his eyebrows, Noah watched her pick up some raw materials. She finished plucking, gave him a sidelong glance, and headed for the shed.The shed had the equipment ready, but it was not complete. It was obviously meant to make things difficult. Not that it affected Lily one way or another. She ignored him and continued working on perfecting the formula. For the past two days, she had done nothing at this place. It would be wasteful not to use the many premade items she already had. Those included refined essential oils. She only needed to combine the ingredients and get everything else ready; soon enough, a fragrance would develop. Noah followed her everywhere and watched her intently regardless of what she did. He said nothing and just stood there watching. Lily did not bother with the measuring tool and instead poured everything into a bowl and stirred it all together by eye. As soon as Noah saw that, he had to shout out an excited "Hey!" He started to speak ag

    Noah, a professional perfumer, had to admit that the quality of this perfume was exquisite. He may look calm on the surface, but he was shocked. Since first entering the perfume industry, he had experimented with numerous scents and studied the work of many renowned perfumers. He had never met a perfumer like her, one who could produce such sophisticated scents from such humble materials.With this new information, his perspective on perfumes shifted drastically. Everyone he knew, including his instructors and himself, believed that one needed high-quality ingredients to make a good perfume. It was the same way that genealogical research has shown that only exceptional individuals can produce exceptional offspring. However, he had his view of the art of perfumery radically altered. “Okay, why don’t we talk about the price of the Water Hyssop?” Lily was not interested in a meaningless competition like this. However, there was something she wanted, and she could not just let

    Staring at the arm holding onto her hand, a cold and sharp gaze flashed across Lily’s eyes. She was not angry when Noah lied to her and tried to lock her up, but she started to get mad when he laid his hands on her and spoke to her in such a condescending way. Lily smirked coldly, “Since you’ve bought those Water Hyssop, and you’ve chosen to waste them, what does it have to do with me? By the way…”“Ahh…it hurts!” Before Noah could react, Lily had already twisted his arm. He had been the one to grab her wrist, but he was the one now being held from behind. She twisted his arm, and his chest was pushed down to the floor. It was so painful that he yelped and drew in a sharp breath.“Mr. Richards…” Noah’s bodyguards wanted to step forward to help, but they were intimidated by the look on Lily’s face. She looked like a frail and gentle lady, but her eyes had so much power and cut like sharp icicles. She was terrifying when she turned Noah over effortlessly, twisted his arm, and

    Lily was suspicious of Noah’s intentions but did not want to stay any longer, so she chose to turn and leave. At that moment, two cars stopped right in front of them. Lily’s first reaction was to assume that Noah was responsible for this, so she turned to look at him.However, his reaction was the same as hers as he stared at the cars in slight surprise. Seconds later, he ran toward the car as one of the car doors opened.An older gentleman came out of the car. His hair was gray, and he had a walking stick in one of his hands. Even though he was old, he still looked healthy for his age. The man lifted his head and looked around him, finally setting his eyes on Lily.‘Mr. Adler?’ Lily was surprised. She might not know everyone in this industry, but she would undoubtedly recognize Lawrence Adler. He was the country's most well-known perfumer and representative of the highest authority in the perfume industry.Lawrence had already created many classic scents since he was young; the mo

    After recovering from her shock, Lily laughed, “Mr. Adler, please don’t joke with me. According to my understanding, I’m still too inexperienced to join the Perfumers’ Society.”Lawrence shook his head gently and explained, “We can’t use our old-fashioned views to look at society now. Society has changed, and talented young people can are everywhere. One can always accumulate experiences as one ages.“However, you’re already talented, so why would you go through all that? Isn’t that unnecessary? There’s no point in joining the society when you’re as old as me. What can people of my age do?” He concluded while waving one of his palms in the air.The man standing next to him had a pained expression. “Mr. Adler, what does that say about us if you consider yourself too old? You’re still in your prime, and we can only look up to you and admire your work. How can we, as juniors, compare to your achievements.”“That’s right!”“Yeah!”Others around Lawrence agreed by adding, “Mr. Adler,

    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
