This was the truth. It was as if the stars had aligned for Eloise to meet Naomi again.

This all stemmed from Damian's idea of hiring famous models to endorse his product. Although it was the correct decision, he appeared to have ignored the budget. If everything was as simple as he thought, why would they need him in the first place? Anyone in the company could have done the same thing.

Budgetary restrictions existed, but Damian also desired to expand his business into international markets. As a result, all of his costs were cut. Even the endorsement fees were reduced one by one.

However, he was adamant that in this industry, networking was more crucial than anything else and that the "friends" he made were reputable connections. He was quickly convinced after a quick resume check.

Although the proposed price was lower than the going market rate, he did not suspect anything. He had no idea about Naomi's friendship with Eloise either.

Seeing her sad look, Naomi was silent for a

    Although there was a frown on her face, she knew that Nathaniel was right. Not only did she know Naomi, but the two were also good friends. After so many years, Eloise never expected this friendship to come in handy. "Mom, I'm not trying to set you up. You're aware of what's going on. Our fate is on the line, and we're all in the same boat. Of course, we'd have to work together, don't you think so?" Nathaniel asked as he drove. Eloise shifted herself and let the shadows engulf her as she sighed.She had never thought the day would come when she and her two children would unite and fight against her husband and his second family. At first, all she wanted was to be a trophy wife and find a good family for her daughter to marry into so she could retire in peace.However, this was all wishful thinking at this point. Joseph was going to take everything she had to raise another family. How could Eloise willingly let him do that?"I've already helped you with Naomi. Are you sure you c

    The weather was excellent today, with the gentle breeze, fluffy clouds, and warm sun shining from the window into the big meeting room. Almost everyone had arrived, except…"What’s taking so long?" Joseph was starting to lose his patience. After all, he had been waiting here for half an hour, yet the person was still not there."I can't get through to him, and no one's answering." The secretary shook his head in embarrassment."Send someone to look for him, be it at his house or places he would be. We must find him no matter what!" Joseph growled. He was on the verge of losing his temper. However, he knew it was not the right time to let loose. There were more important things waiting to be done.Thus, he turned around and calmed himself down before re-entering the meeting room. "I'm sorry for keeping everyone waiting. Shall we start?""Are we not going to wait for Mr. Damian?" Arianna, who was sitting nearest to the main chair, asked casually.Hearing this, Joseph froze. At the

    All this created a better impression of Benedict for the executives. Although he was not interested in the business, he was not brainless. He would still offer some constructive opinions.The current computer system in the company was his idea, and he even hired someone to set it up. There were also several other profitable projects within the company that was all from his suggestions.Everyone still looked up to him, but due to Derrick's poor health, he had been in a hospital for a long time. As for Benedict, he went missing, and no one had seen him for a long time.Everyone was losing their patience when someone pushed the meeting room door open with a bang. Damian stood at the doorway, out of breath. His tie hung loosely around his neck, and his eyes were blank, staring ahead lifelessly.Seeing him, Arianna felt relieved yet annoyed.He knew what day it was and how important this meeting was. Yet, he showed up late and looked like a mess. As he moved closer, everyone could smel

    “My next plan is to expand the market. We'll first put the perfume up domestically before bringing it into foreign waters." His plans sounded almost perfect. He had even identified the relevant industrial chains.However, the executives looked through the report and frowned slightly. They did not look too happy."Excuse me," Someone raised his hand and interrupted, "We only have one perfume. Although we got a good response, don't you think we're moving too fast? Other companies have already monopolized the domestic perfume market.“There are recognized brands from giants like La Beauté Group and other companies. This is the first time we've stepped foot into this industry. Shouldn't we take things one step at a time and stabilize our product first?"The company's executives were from the older generation, and Damian's pie was too big for them to swallow."Mr. Park, you're being too cautious," Damian said with a smile, "You must have a fighting spirit in the business world. How can

    “Mr. Tanner, I'm sorry, but this is important! Do you remember how Naomi Schiffer was hospitalized?" The assistant asked anxiously."Yeah, I do. What's wrong? Didn't I get someone to send a get-well-soon gift basket for her? Is she trying to pull some strings?" Damian immediately assumed the worst when he heard this from his assistant.It didn't matter if she was a supermodel. The advertisements had been filmed, and she had also been fully paid. If she tried to pull something shady, Tanner Corporation had a professional legal team ready to fight her to the bitter end. "No. Naomi's team is saying that she was hospitalized because of her allergies, and the allergens are…"Damian became impatient as the assistant hesitated because he wanted to get back into the meeting room as soon as possible. Damian kicked him and prodded, "Say it!""She said that she's allergic to our perfume and that our perfume contains ingredients that are harmful to humans," Damian's assistant spat out in one

    Damian's assistant nodded in response and went to work. Damian continued standing outside the meeting room, afraid to enter. When he had finally calmed down, he entered the space while maintaining a natural demeanor. "Well, I have nothing more to say for today's meeting. Do you have any questions? Otherwise, let's adjourn."The project was important to him, and he could not mess it up now. Therefore, it was best to call off the meeting first.Everyone in the room was taken aback as soon as he said that. They were clearly at the peak of their discussion, yet the meeting was called off."Damian-” Joseph quickly corrected himself, “Mr. Damian, why are you adjourning the meeting before you're done with your discussion? Why don't you introduce the new perfume to us? The perfume sold out so fast that none of us got the chance to see it, am I right?" Joseph continued with a smile. "I brought two bottles here today. Why don't we give it a try?"He then retrieved two perfume bottles and

    Damian stood there with his feet numb, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. He was at a loss for words. "Damian, what's going on? These are slanders, aren't they?" Joseph was the first to come back to his senses and ask. Hearing that, Damian quickly nodded. "Yes, it's slander! There's nothing wrong with our perfume. Naomi called and said that she was hospitalized because of her allergies yesterday, but she did not mention it being from the perfume. In spite of this, the reports present a different picture. She must’ve planned this to frame me!" "Oh? Why would she frame you? Did something happen between you two?" Donovan questioned. Damian did not know how to answer. There was indeed no enmity between them. After a moment of thought, he replied, "Maybe she's trying to blackmail us for the money." "Then, why didn't she reach out to you instead of going straight to the reporters? Also, it’s said that you were the one who sent the media over." Donovan's gaze was sharp as he

    Arianna had been exceptionally quiet throughout the meeting, barely saying a word, to the point where people almost forgot she was there. Once Donovan called her out, everyone turned to look at her.However, Damian was still calm about it as he stood there with a smug smile. Although everything was a mess now, he felt it was not his fault. Donovan's accusing attitude upset Damian. 'Who does he think he is to question me like that?'"Mr. Elm, everything happened so suddenly. I do feel like it's premeditated." After thinking about it, Arianna continued, "I think this woman is quite suspicious as well.""Exactly! There's something fishy about this woman! She's trying to frame the company and me on purpose!" Damian interrupted, "Maybe La Beauté Group sent her. I'll go look into her at once!"Donovan shot him a look, and Damian immediately lost his arrogance. Although he was dissatisfied, he knew he was not the president of Tanner Corporation yet. Therefore, he was not qualified or powe

    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
