Glancing at Lily, Jonathan cleared his throat and said, "We must thoroughly investigate your grandfather's death. However, you two insist on your own words, and it is difficult to tell the difference for now, but don't worry. Since I’ve taken over the family, I will give you a satisfactory answer.”

Sure enough, Lily wanted to get out of the way, sneering, "Granduncle, everyone understands the truth, but there should always be a conclusion. We mustn’t delay Grandpa’s burial. At least there should be a time limit, right?"

"Why are you so anxious? Are you guilty?" Jonathan said unhappily after giving her a side glance.

"There’s no point in arguing anymore, and it doesn’t matter whether or not I’m guilty. What matters is the result. I only hope to find out the cause of grandpa's death." Lily did not want to take a step back and continued, "The elders are here today. Since Granduncle Jonathan is in charge of the family now, I believe I can convince everyone with actions instead

    Alexander smiled and turned Lily’s body to face him. He gently placed her one hand on his chest and said warmly, "The heart is not always cold but also warm. How could you be so pessimistic, my love?"His lovely words made Lily blush, and the one hand he held was motionless, sticking to his chest. Lily’s hand felt warm from the heat of his body. "You knew this was a game and accompanied me through it all. Now you’re stuck here with me. I'm sorry," she sighed in a low voice.Alexander’s eyes sank, and he leaned down to bite her lips fiercely. It was not a gentle kiss, but a hard bite with his teeth, causing her to gasp in pain. After biting and releasing them, he stared into his wife’s eyes and said, "Remember this as a lesson. I'll punish you if you ever talk to me like I’m a stranger again."Lily was silent. ‘He’s such a domineering yet touching man.’She pursed her lips, and they felt numb. Still, the reality is that we’re stuck here, and they won’t give me the answer I want."J

    Justin’s doors remained open beyond Lily’s expectations. It was as if he was waiting for her. Although Justin did not close the door, Lily glanced inside the room, raised her hand, and knocked on the door twice."Come in," Justin's voice sounded.Lily noticed only one dimly lit lamp turned on in the room. Justin was sitting on a chair by the window with a cup of coffee in front of him. It smelled fragrant, but it seemed as if he did not even take a sip."Justin.""Sit down," he said. His eyes remained calm as he glanced at Lily.Although there was still no expression on his face, Lily thought his eyes looked much better than when they were in the mourning hall."You..." After hesitating, she wanted to ask Justin something but needed to figure out where to start."Didn't I tell you not to come back? You’re still so stubborn," Justin started the conversation. Although he complained, Lily could hear that he was concerned."Do you think I could still escape if I don't come back?" L

    She personally handed the candle to Justin, not thinking that any problems would occur."After you brought the candle back, did you light it up yourself, or did you hand it over to the housekeeper?"Taking a deep look at her as if guessing her thoughts, Justin's lips moved a little, and he faintly said two words: "Uncle Roger."Lily was silent.Roger did not have to explain himself. He was deeply devoted to Wilfred and had spent many years serving by his side. Nobody in the Lodge family would ever question Roger's allegiance.In other words, the doubts about the whole situation fell on the three of them. Since Lily and Justin could not argue, Henry and Jonathan saw this as an opportunity to attack them. At that moment, neither their guilt nor their innocence could be established with certainty."This is a conspiracy!" Lily's hand clenched into a fist. How vicious!It was not just as simple as framing. She wanted to know who tampered with the candle."I must find the real murder

    Justin’s answer was not necessary anymore, as his attitude spoke volumes. Lily got back to her room and noticed that Alexander was not there. She had no idea where he had gone, but as he had assured her, they were on the Lodge family's grounds, which were perilous at times but mostly safe. Therefore, she should not worry about him.She had to handle some things urgently, so Lily took out her phone and called Olivia, “Liv, there’s a small candle stick in the safe inside my lab. Could you please send it to the FDA for lab testing?” “Why?” Olivia had not seen Lily in days. She was overjoyed to hear from Lily, but before Olivia could ask how she was doing, Lily made an unexpected request.“I need it urgently. Please help me,” Lily added, “Don’t tell anyone about this. You need to do this personally, and when you have the results, take a photo of it and keep the report safe with you.” “Okay,” Olivia promised though she was still slightly confused. As a perfumer, they were trained to

    “Maybe the news hasn’t got out yet,” Lily smacked her lips and added, “Olivia, I need you to be the one to spread this news.”“Spread what…” Oliva hesitated, then asked, “Why do you need me to spread the word? The Lodge family won’t be releasing this news to the public?” This should be something the family had to announce to the public, especially when it was about Wilfred, an important figure in the country. News about him would surely be published in newspapers, and all the prestigious families in the country would attend his funeral. Olivia had nothing to do with the Lodge family. Wasn’t it a bit strange for her to be the one to release the news to the public?    “There’s a problem back at home, which is why…I need your help,” Lily clarified as she heard a knock on the door. She turned to look, and in came Alexander, followed by Edward behind him. Alexander had planned to tell her something but saw that she was talking on the phone, so he refrained.Instead, he turned to E

    “I know what’s the number,” Alexander came up from behind Lily and held her hand. Then he turned to Edward. “You can go now.”Edward nodded and left, not forgetting to close the door behind him.“Seriously? You’re jealous because of this? I was just trying to help Olivia!” Lily waved her phone in front of Alexander to remind him.“Of course, I know that!” Alexander pinched her nose lightly and pulled her to sit next to him. “So, what did Justin say?”“I think he was worried about something. He didn’t say much, but I’m sure he knows something. I just don’t know why he would allow them to do as they please,” Lily elaborated.Alexander thought for a few seconds before asking, “You’re saying he has given up his position as the head of the family?”“I’m assuming he did it to prevent the family from getting into a feud. However, judging from the current situation, I don’t think that’s working.” Lily had never expected this many problems to arise immediately after her grandfather’s deat

    “No, there’s not going to be an ‘or,’” Alexander remarked while waving in disagreement. “They’ll only pin it on Justin.”The elders treated Lily as an outsider to this issue, even though they wanted to form a coup, take over as the family head, and reap the benefits that came with it.However, it would be challenging for the elders to overthrow Justin as the family head if they did not push the cause of Wilfred’s death onto the scented candles he had used, primarily since the family doctor had always overseen Wilfred’s health.“That’s why I want to look for the culprit who sabotaged the scented candles as soon as possible,” Lily said while frowning, “Justin said he, Roger, and I were the only ones who directly came in contact with the scented candles.“However, Roger has been with our family for a long time and has been unwaveringly loyal to Grandpa, so it can’t be him. I don’t understand. How and when did the culprit do this?”Alexander deduced, “The Lodge family’s residence is h

    “Something happened within the Lodge family. Do you know about it?” Arianna asked.“You mean that the old man from the Lodge family is dead?” Nathaniel calmly replied as he started to clean up his bottles while studying them closely.“Of course, that’s not all. Have you heard of Henry Lodge?” Arianna sat on Nathaniel’s chair and looked at him. “Since you’re Lily’s ex-boyfriend, you must know a thing or two about the Lodge family, right?”Nathaniel sneered mockingly as the fingers that were fiddling with the incense stopped. Moments later, he continued, acting as if nothing had happened, “If it weren’t for Mother telling me about it, I wouldn’t have known she was from the Lodge family. So, how much do you think I know?”“Huh?” His answer surprised Arianna. “Wow, you were quite a horrible boyfriend then.”“That’s all in the past now!” His downcast eyes showed no emotions. “Why are you here, Ari? I’m sure it’s not just to lecture me.”Arianna drawled while playing with a pen on Nath

    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
