"Mom, when did you come back?" She asked after entering the room and closing the door. “Not too long ago," Eloise said calmly as she walked to the wine cabinet and picked out a bottle. She took two glasses, then sat down and asked Arianna to take a seat across from her. She then opened the bottle, and filled both glasses with wine. Arianna sat down, picked up one of the glasses. She did not drink in a hurry, but swirled the glass gently, watching the red liquid flow."Mom, I’m sorry you have to go through this," she said. "Likewise." Contrary to her, Eloise drank the wine in one go, then stared at the glass in a daze, "It's all fault. I'm sorry." "Mom, don't say things like that!" She patted the back of her mother’s hand, disapproving, "Things are not at its worst. Why would you say such a thing?""It's because I'm not good enough. That’s why dad brought the kid home!" Holding the glass tightly, her knuckles turned white. She gritted her teeth and continued, "I'm

"Mom, try not to lose your cool. That woman's moment of triumph is fleeting at best. She’s not deserving of the title of Mrs. Tanner," Arianna said, her gaze growing intense. Eloise was startled. "Arianna, what are you going to do? Don't touch her. You know how your father is.” Using her own resources, Eloise could have dealt with that woman, but if she touched her, Joseph would find out. She was so kind in front of him for many years, but all her patience was in vain. She did not want to risk losing everything just because of a small matter. Just like Arianna said, she should bear with the anger for a while. The final victory was to have dominance over the Tanner family. The winner of the battle was still unknown."Mom, don't worry. Of course, I won't do anything. However, only fate can decide what happens.” Arianna smiled lightly, took a sip of wine, and then seemed to remember something. "By the way, Mom, is Uncle Derrick not feeling well recently? You and Aunt Stephani

Nathaniel was still in bed when he heard a loud knock and his room door flung open. He got up while yawning and went to get a cup of coffee. His hair was in a mess, looking tired. He started sleepily, “What do you need to tell me? What’s so important that you had to invite yourself here? Can’t we just talk at the office?”Arianna kicked something beside her aside and looked at Nathaniel’s place disapprovingly. “Can’t you clean this place up? Better yet, can’t you employ someone to do it for you?! Look at this mess!”“Who would come and clean up? Besides, I’m living here alone, and I don’t have to take care of anyone nor need anyone’s help.” Nathaniel lay on the sofa and placed his legs on his coffee table while sipping his coffee. “Feel free to make yourself at home.”Arianna’s brows furrowed as she looked around the room. She spotted a bar stool and sat on it, “Have you heard? Henry got caught and is being held somewhere.”“I knew it.” Nathaniel pointed at Arianna with his index f

Unlike Nathaniel, Arianna was more concerned about who could benefit her more in her struggle to gain power within the Tanner family. She did not care about the kickboxing aspect of these families.“That may not be true,” Nathaniel remarked while shaking his head.“What do you mean?” Arianna asked.“I’m saying Henry would not give in to destiny that easily. He would not concede defeat so quickly,” Nathaniel had taken his time to learn about Henry when he conducted his background search on him.After being banished from the Lodge family, Henry’s hatred grew to the extent that he only wanted to return to the family to regain his authority when his father died. Someone like him would not give up and admit defeat that easily.Arianna disapprovingly frowned as she remarked in annoyance, “Why are you so determined to place all your bets on him? Why do you believe in him so much? From my perspective, we should try to mend our relationship with Justin instead of waiting for him to make hi

The forensic department’s autopsy report was final, and there was no more dispute about Wilfred’s death. Soon after, the Lodge family finally buried Wilfred’s body.After settling his funeral, Lily wanted to discuss the issue about Henry with Justin, but she was astounded when her name once again became a hot topic on the internet. This time it was not good.The post consisted of her voice recording. The recording only contained a short part of what she had said in the Lodge family meeting, explaining that she could easily mix poisonous content into her perfumes.The recording created waves of commotion on the internet. Lily’s name was among the most searched on Twitter, which slowed their servers down for a moment. This issue stirred up a considerable ruckus everywhere because it was too controversial.Who would still dare consume Lily's products if she could add dangerous substances to her fragrances? No one in their right mind would still want to use perfumes, essential oils, or

When Alexander answered the phone, Lily was close enough to hear what was being said even though he did not use the loudspeaker. It was a call from the headquarters of the La Beaute Group. A surge in refund requests came in at the company's mall outlets in the past three days. It did not matter if the item was brand new, secondhand, or had been bought long ago, as customers still brought in their complaints about it. Management at the malls has warned La Beaute Group that if the issue was not fixed soon, the stores would be shut down. “Are you serious? Why do you need to consult me about issues like this? Is the PR team that useless?” Alexander replied coldly.It was not because Alexander did not know what to do but because La Beaute Group was a vast global corporation in which everyone had a role. This issue was a nightmare for the public relations team, so they were the ones who had to deal with it. If they called the director for every occurrence, he would be unable to d

Even though there was no caller ID, she knew who the number belonged to as they had contacted her frequently just a few months ago. It was from Kingsland. She answered the call but remained silent while waiting for the other side to speak. “Is this Lily Christian?” The person on the other side asked impatiently.“Yes,” Lily replied.“Lily Christian, the Perfumers’ Society has decided to revoke your license as a perfumer, and you’ll need to be questioned and checked!” He said crudely. There was an air of arrogance in his tone as well.Lily smirked and looked at Alexander, then asked, “Who do I have to be questioned by?” The guy on the phone did not expect Lily to be so calm, so he paused before saying, “By the Society, of course! You’ve caused controversy and brought shame to the perfume industry, so we’re considering suspending your qualification. After some questioning and background check, we’ll decide whether to reinstate you.” To stress that he was not joking and t

Alexander was not pretending but truly did not care about such a thing. That made Lily’s smile widen because he understood her so well. Back then, she did not take the exam for the perfumer certification because she felt it was too formalized. She decided to take the perfumer's grade exam because, as a newcomer to the field, she was eager to demonstrate her competence but needed more confidence in her ability to create fragrances. The second reason was that Nathaniel convinced her to. He had just started a business and was looking for a perfumer to head the Research and Development department. No matter how well-known a perfumer was, having a certificate attesting to their proficiency benefited the company.On the other hand, Nathaniel knew little about the perfumer certificate and did not care much about it. On top of that, Lily discovered via her research that most of the required syllabi for the certification were rigid, theoretical items. In contrast, creating scents was a cre

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
