Arianna had settled her matters with Noah, but she still felt uneasy. She had not found the perfumer or Damian yet, and there was the issue involving Derrick.

She would have an even harder time if he had a will. Stephanie might look weak, but she was ambitious and would make a fuss about it.

Arianna squatted before Eloise and said earnestly, "You’re the only one who can deal with this, Mom. Aunt Stephanie listens to you. You must ask her to hand over the power and shares Uncle Derrick has. Otherwise, it‘ll be difficult for me to gain a firm foothold in the company."

"You said your uncle wants to write a will?" Eloise asked after some thought.

"Yeah."

"He’s keeping his guard up against us." Eloise paused and thought for a while before continuing, "How was your uncle's physical condition the last time you visited?"

“He wasn’t doing too well, but the doctor managed to resuscitate him. I didn’t expect him to survive.” Now that Arianna thought about it, she could not help feeling regr

    Damian was hungry and tired. He did not know how many times he had shouted but only knew that his mouth was dry and his throat was hurting. At this moment, the door opened.The iron gate made a sharp, piercing noise. The sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground made him feel like they were about to take him to an execution ground. Damian’s heart pounded in fear. He was tired but still opened his eyes to look at the person who approached him unhurriedly with a tray.It was a tall black figure whose face Damian could not see clearly, but for some reason, he thought the person was smiling. The person’s smile made Damian shudder."Who... are you?" He asked hesitantly and instinctively backed away. However, there was no room for retreat as his back was against the wall. His eyes darted around frantically."You don't recognize me anymore, Mr. Damian?" The person stood before Damian and looked down at him as if looking at his prey. There was a cold smile on his lips while his eyes we

    “That’s not it,” Nathaniel shook his head and elaborated, “Don’t forget that you were the one who wanted this project. My initial suggestion was genuine, as I wanted to ensure the project would succeed.“However, you insisted on interfering even when you didn’t know what you were doing. You were afraid I would take your credit, and since you were so inclined to be a fool, I figured I might as well give you a push!”Damian was speechless in the face of Nathaniel’s mockery, so he turned to face the other side. “What do you want from me now that I’m here? It’s not like you can ask for ransom.”Who would still be willing to help Damian at a time like this? Arianna could not wait for him to disappear, and as for Joseph, even if he were willing to pay the ransom, he would not be able to fork out the money.If Damian did get out, he would still have to pay his dues in prison. He leaned his head against the wall as he felt disheartened. Just a few days ago, he was so happy and sure of hims

    Damian lifted his head and narrowed his eyes at Nathaniel. He also knew of Nathaniel’s past and had heard about Nathaniel’s failed attempt at sustaining his business, resulting in MN Inc.’s bankruptcy.Nathaniel was in a lot of debt and treated like a pest on the streets. Everyone wanted to either stay away from him or beat him up. Damian was not sure who had helped him, but Nathaniel had ended up becoming one of the project managers at Tanner Corporation. It was mainly because of this that Damian disliked him.Damian thought he did not have the right to be in that position because he was a failure. He had even suspected something unusual had happened between Nathaniel and Arianna. Unfortunately, he was just like Nathaniel now. Life was so unpredictable.“I can get you out of prison. Plus, I can ensure you will no longer worry about your reputation when appearing in public. Then you can return to work at Tanner Corporation as usual. Better yet, you might even obtain a higher positio

    Nathaniel knew what Damian was concerned about, so he smiled casually. “You can choose whether or not to trust me; it’s entirely up to you. However, I’m only giving you this opportunity once.”Damian was confused by his actions but tempted at the same time. How could one not give in when the offer was so attractive? He gulped and asked, “What do you need me to do?”“I’ll let you leave, then you have to surrender yourself to the police,” Nathaniel drawled, looking at the view before him and not at Damian. “You must admit to using harmful ingredients in the perfumes and that you were the one in charge of looking for a perfumer.“You need to tell the police that you were responsible for everything, including assigning La Beaute Group’s Lily Christian as the perfumer responsible for this project. However, you must emphasize that she was responsible for using harmful ingredients and that you were unaware.”“Who’s the person from La Beaute Group?” Damian was confused as he had never hear

    If Damian had that number of shares, he would not need to fight with Arianna for power. Even if Joseph gave him everything he had, it would not add up to more than 10% of company shares.“Just because you don’t have it now doesn’t mean you won’t have it in the future,” Nathaniel sounded so sure of himself, “To prevent you from going against your promise, I want you to sign this now so that I can all feel at ease.”“Are you sure?” Damian raised his eyebrows and asked in distrust. If he had 55% of shares from Tanner Corporation, he would get to call the shots as the whole corporation would be his. If that time came, Damian would not have to be afraid of anyone and would not even care about his position in the company.After all, he only wanted to advance in the company and replace Arianna as an essential person that could support the Tanner Corporation. Still, he had never once imagined he would someday be able to obtain this amount of company shares.It felt like a dream but was thi

    Two major news appeared on the headlines—the first being Arianna and Noah’s public announcement that they were in a relationship. The media caught the couple on camera on a date being intimate with each other.When asked if they had plans to get married or if they got involved because their families had proposed a business marriage, the couple gave the media a vague response while not denying its possibility.If the two families did decide to be united in marriage, it would be massive news as Arianna and Noah had issues with Lily. The Tanner family was responsible for pressing charges against Lily for a corporate crime. Simultaneously, the Perfumers’ Society claimed that Lily did not have an official license to practice her career as a perfumer.With these two issues combined, it looked like they were working together to take Lily down.There was also the news about something happening within the Perfumers’ Society. At first, the public was distracted from the issue of Lily’s perfu

    Arianna only shook her head. She did not seem relieved—instead, countless thoughts ran through her head. “No, no, something isn’t right.”If Damian had suddenly appeared and told the police someone had framed him, that would make more sense. No one knew better than Arianna that Damian thought someone had framed him, and according to his character, he could not keep something to himself for such a long time.Damian had disappeared for some time and reappeared just to surrender to the police. All this was so unusual. Arianna knew something was amiss when this bizarre incident happened. She feared it would ruin her plans.“Nothing would go wrong, right?” Arianna’s underling frowned. “He has already confessed, so what else is there to verify? He was responsible for the project, so it’s only normal for him to take responsibility. Maybe you’re just overthinking, Ms. Tanner.”“What do you know!” She reprimanded, “If it were that simple, why would I have gone through so much hassle to fram

    Arianna instinctively moved her phone away from her ear as if hearing Nathaniel blow his nose would dirty her. After waiting for him to finish, she continued, “Could you power through it? I need you to come into the office. I have something important to discuss with you.”“What’s the emergency?” Nathaniel sneezed and asked, “I saw the news, aren’t you getting married soon? Congratulations! Is this related to your wedding plans? Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to attend the ceremony.”“Enough of your nonsense!” Arianna frowned and continued in a low tone, “I’m not talking about that—I’m talking about Damian.”“Didn’t he just turn himself in?” Everyone heard the news since the Tanner Corporation ensured the public discovered the perfume incident. So, everyone was waiting for the court’s decision as this issue had garnered much public interest.“Yes, he turned himself in, but don’t you think it’s strange?” Arianna’s brows furrowed. “There must be someone behind orchestrating this.

    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
