Just as Nathaniel happily prepared to go to the meeting, his assistant hurried in, flustered. “Mr. Hall, bad news!”

Thinking that she had jinxed him, Nathaniel grew stern. “What bad news? How could there be bad news with me around?”

As the assistant ran over, she tried to catch her breath as she sputtered, “N-No, sir, it’s Mr. Tanner…he…”

Nathaniel frowned. “Which Mr. Tanner are you talking about?”

‘It doesn’t matter if there are too many Tanners here because I’ll get rid of them in a moment, and the company will soon have nothing to do with them.’

“Mr. Tanner, the general manager!” She stomped her foot and gritted her teeth. “Joseph Tanner.”

Nathaniel was unperturbed. ‘What could that old fool do?’

He picked up his coffee cup from the desk and took a sip, saying slowly, “Oh, him! Didn’t I tell you he’s going to step down soon, and there’s no need to bother about him? What’s the matter?”

“He…jumped off a building to kill himself!”

Nathaniel did not go to the hospital, as

    Nathaniel saw Damian sitting there when he left the interrogation room. Damian bolted to his feet. “You swindled my family’s properties and made a fool out of me, you f*cker!”“Let me give you a piece of advice, you little pr*ck. Think twice before you spout nonsense. How did I make a fool of you? If I remember correctly, you were the one who reported your sister to the police.“Tsk, tsk, people like you would even stoop to press charges against your own kin, and now you’re targeting me with your slander! Please put this man under a thorough investigation, officers. Something might seriously be wrong with him!”Nathaniel was so pleased with himself that he could hardly hide his excitement.Although Joseph’s suicide attempt had slightly disrupted his plans, he did not mind it so much. ‘Even if he had jumped off a building and become paralyzed from the waist down, he still wouldn’t be able to convict me. I had everything taken care of long ago, and I wouldn’t have gotten what I wante

    “There’s no need to worry about my wife. I can take good care of her.” Derrick smiled. “You should worry about yourself more.”He turned to the police officers. “I’d like to make a report.”Nobody had expected this turn of events. The supposedly dying Derrick was fine, and he also wanted to make a police report against Nathaniel with concrete evidence.The crisis that had befallen the Tanner family seemingly ended overnight.Things had returned to normal now that Derrick had returned. However, the top management of Tanner Corporation underwent radical changes as those who sided with Arianna and Nathaniel during the crisis got sacked.Only then did people realize everything was part of Derrick’s plan.Although Tanner Corporation seemed to be in its heyday, there had been many problems due to power struggles even among the management team, which ultimately hurt the company’s interest.Due to the conflicts between Arianna’s team, the old-timers, and those that Joseph had rallied in

    “Let’s welcome our new chairman!” The door opened, and Benedict entered.Many gasped since they all had heard that he had died. Not only was Benedict still alive, but he also showed up as the new chairman of Tanner Corporation. The quick-witted ones caught quickly realized that Derrick had planned much of what had happened for this very day.Like a loving father, Derrick had gotten rid of all the obstacles so Benedict could safely replace him. Soon, everyone clapped to welcome him, knowing that they should at least show support for the new chairman.Benedict walked over and said solemnly, “It’s not the first time I’ve been here, and it’s not the first time I’ve joined the meeting either. However, this is my first time standing here as your chairman. From now on, I’ll be working hard with you all to make Tanner Corporation even greater.”“I believe Benedict needs no introduction, as you all know him. Let’s move on to the second agenda. Our company is going to launch a new project wh

    Meanwhile, at the hospital, Joseph did not expect to meet his elder brother in this state and felt overwhelmed with emotions. He did not even know what to say, “Derrick, I…”Having discovered what had happened over the past two days, Joseph went from shock to acceptance to slowly understanding the truth.It was only a couple of months, but he felt like he had finally woken up from an endless nightmare. Joseph thought he had everything under control but now realized he was just a pawn in someone else’s plans.In the end, all he had gotten was this.Derrick pulled a chair over and sat in front of his younger brother, asking warmly, “How are you feeling now?”“How else would I be feeling? I’ll have to live like this for the rest of my life.” Joseph sighed, looking older than even Derrick.“Derrick, I only have a favor to ask. I know I’ve done you wrong, but I hope you can promise me something since we’re brothers, and I’ve ended up like this.”“Is it about your son?” Derrick though

    Joseph thought about how Arianna had threatened his livelihood, ‘What kind of daughter would dare treat her father that way?’Derrick shook his head and said earnestly, "Then, why did she do this? Have you ever thought about why she has such great ambitions? Also, have you seen what she has done for the company over the past few years?""Isn't Ari being a bit too greedy with her ambitions? I've already given her so much. I even told her that once Damian inherited the company, she would be the first lady with power over Tanner Corporation. Yet, she's still unsatisfied."Derrick laughed when he heard that, "Look at you. You still don't understand what's happening, even now. Since you feel you've given her so much, why are you letting your illegitimate son inherit the company? Why haven’t you considered maybe Ari could also lead Tanner Corporation to success?“I know there were troubles at the company over the past few days, and I've been in the hospital. I didn't bother stepping in b

    “Derrick, even if I'm in the wrong, you should help me take care of Damian…and…Ari," Joseph cautiously said after a moment of hesitation.At this point, he had no one else to turn to except Derrick. The two were brothers at the end of the day. Joseph could only hope that blood was thicker than water and that Derrick would be willing to help."We'll talk about it once they're out. They're children of the Tanner family anyway. However, anything that has to do with the company will be under Benny’s care in the future. I won't interfere in any of the company's personnel changes. Besides Benny, people from the HR department will handle those. Regardless, I can assure you your children won't suffer."That was the best Derrick could do. If he allowed nepotism to continue in the company, Tanner Corporation would fall sooner or later.Joseph lowered his gaze, a little disappointed. He initially thought his children would have a chance to re-enter the company. Even if they could not hold a p

    Joseph refused to accept it and threw the documents to the ground with a flick. "I won't sign it! I won't sign it!""It's your choice. If you don't sign it, I'll sue you. Let's separate from each other for a while. Whatever it is, I know I won't stay with you any longer. I'm tired, Joseph, I genuinely am.""Tired? Eloise, we've been together for years. Now that I'm like this, you're just going to divorce me?!" Joseph growled as he patted his leg unconsciously."Joseph, you know that's not the reason. Indeed, many envy me for marrying into a wealthy family. I’m sure we’re both aware of how much you’ve given me and what I’ve done for the family over the years. “Still, you proudly parade around with your mistress for years and even bring your illegitimate child into our home. Have you ever stopped to consider how I'd look and feel? Have you honestly never considered getting a divorce?"This question immediately stumped Joseph. He did think about it before. Every second he spent in E

    Eloise’s recent experiences and her son and daughter’s imprisonment were like a hail strike on her. The ploy she had spent half her life planning—how the Tanner family's properties would end up in her children's laps—came crashing down.She was now alone, and nothing interested her anymore. She had fought and stepped on eggshells for years, yet, what was it all for?Nathaniel turned out to be a monster she almost could not recognize, plotting against his sister. As for Arianna, Eloise did not have the heart to see her again. She had failed as a mother and as a wife.Joseph cared for Elizabeth all year round and even raised a son with her. He even brought his illegitimate son home to try and inherit the family business. Eloise had nothing else apart from having the title of being his wife.All her hopes and efforts came to nothing. It was all futile."No matter how selfish you were, you've still taken care of Stephanie all these years. The Tanner family is also yours. Even…" Derric

    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
