"Tomorrow..." Ralph was overjoyed. He was about to agree when he realized she would gain the upper hand if he did so right away, so he deliberately said prolongedly, "I'm afraid tomorrow..."

"Why? You can't make it tomorrow?"

"It's not that. It's just a little inconvenient. Tomorrow my house..."

Before he could say anything more, he heard her say, "Let's just forget about it."

Then, Before Ralph could suggest to change the date, Heather said, "I can find someone else."

Ralph immediately panicked as she was about to hang up. "Don't worry. I'm free tomorrow. I'm free!"

"You're free?"

"Yes, I'm free!" He said this while nodding constantly, afraid Heather would change her mind.

"Don't force yourself. Didn't you say it was inconvenient at home?" The voice was indifferent.

Sweat dripped down Ralph's forehead as he continued, "No, it's very convenient. How could it be inconvenient? I was joking with you. Look..."

He did not know why this woman was so capricious that he could not figu

    "Oh, you realized?" Heather snorted and did not even bother to glance at them. She stared at the wine in her glass. "You failed to take down a declining Lodge family and even returned injured. If you know your mistake, you should pay it with your life."Shivers ran through their veins. "We beg you! Please spare our lives!""Enough!" She put down her glass of wine heavily. "If I want to punish you, you will not live today! Your lives are still useful for me to complete some tasks!"She then commanded, "Get up!"After carefully looking at her to ensure it was not irony, the two stood up.Who would have thought that the famous and intimidating Light-Shadow Killers would be so humble in front of a woman?"I have a task for you. You’ll sneak into the Russell family mansion and find something for me tonight," she said unhurriedly."Master, I thought it wasn’t there?" One of them could not help asking."Just listen to my order. Do I need you to remind me whether it is there?" Heather

    "There is nothing to regret." He hugged her gently from behind with his palms covering her belly. "Only you guys are the most important people to me now."In terms of blood relationships, the Russell family was indeed very close. They were also his family, but since he was a child, he did not feel any warmth from them. The only little bit of warmth he felt was also because of his efforts. Only then his grandfather acknowledged his existence.What the members of the Russell family did later for wealth and power disappointed him to the core. Now, only the people in front of him were the most cherished.Lily was about to say something else when his cell phone rang. "Hello?"She did not hear him say anything, but his face became more serious, and he unconsciously relaxed his hand that held Lily. Lily glanced at him and got up to pour a glass of water so he could talk on the phone.When she was back after drinking water and resting for a while, Alexander had finished talking on the

    "Got it!" She raised her hand, pushed his head away, and smiled. "You are so long-winded Why didn't I notice it before? Also, I'm wondering, are you concerned about me or the little one in my belly? Alex, I'm getting jealous!""Of course, I’m concerned about both of you. You are both my precious ones!" He smiled and pulled her into his arms, kissed her cheek, and could not help kissing her again.She was his sweetheart, and he would protect her from any harm! Alexander secretly made up his mind....Thieves broke into the mansion before dawn and made a mess.It was obvious that it had been tampered with, but the thieves were still loose. It seemed that no valuables were missing. Everyone was checking their things to see if they had not noticed anything was missing. Another group of people was looking at the security tape.It was terrible!How they could sneak into the mansion quietly without the surveillance capturing any clues, and no one noticing it, but almost everyone's bedr

    "Insiders?!" Margaret almost jumped up. "Who? Who could it be? There’s a thief in our family. We must find it out!"While she spoke, she looked around as if she wanted to find out who the insider was."Mom, don't get agitated. This thief did not want money or our life, so he must be looking for something." Ralph thought for a while and said, "What do you think it could be?"Margaret frowned and thought for a while. She seemed to think of something. "You mean..."Before she could speak, she stopped abruptly when she saw Ralph's eyes. "I'm not the thief. How should I know what he is looking for?"Then she looked at Alexander unhappily. "Alex, you can’t ignore us when such a big incident happened to the Russell family. It would destroy our reputation. You must find this thief, and don't let him go easily! ""Grandma, are you sure you haven’t lost anything important?" Alexander saw everything in Ralph’s eyes when they exchanged looks. He knew that they had something to say.It wa

    "Okay. Slow down and drive safely on the road!" Margaret said with concern. She had always been extremely fond of her youngest son. Seeing that this marriage was about to happen, it must be perfect.After thinking about it, she looked at Alexander, who had just hung up the phone, and cleared her throat. "There's nothing you can do here. You've seen it. So, head on back to the company."After all, it was the eldest daughter of the Riggs family they were talking. Especially when the marriage was not official. Margaret did not want anything to go wrong. Especially this grandson of hers was simply the most unstable ticking time bomb in her eyes.Unexpectedly, Alexander curled his lips. "I have already made arrangements for the company. I’ll stay here today to accompany you.""I don't want your companionship!" Margaret blurted and yelled. She felt she was being inappropriate. Then she said slowly, "I mean. There are still many things for you to do in the company. The family business

    "That's right," Celine responded smilingly, "I heard you have a different class than others, but seeing it today, I’m convinced! With your charm and power, no wonder you can manage such a big family. I admire that. I would be satisfied if I had half of your charm when I was young.""You just goof around all day. You're not as sensible as Ms. Riggs," Margaret said.Heather was a little irritated by the way they spoke to impress her. Accustomed to hearing flattery, she was tired of hearing it. She never thought that even the members of the Russell family would be so flattering.All of the members of the Russell family had declined in her mind, save for Alexander. When she first came here, she wanted to take Alexander down, but she gave up after doing a comprehensive investigation.It was because he was shrewd and challenging to deal with, and it was almost impossible to find any weaknesses in him. It was not because Heather feared difficulties but because she did not want a man to hi

    While Ralph thought about this, he looked toward her ears subconsciously. He was not surprised to see the earrings he had gifted her were sitting nicely on her earlobes. He felt much better. Women were such contradicting beings! Heather obviously was in love with him but acted like she did not care much about him. Ralph concluded that this was probably due to her having to play the role of the head of the household in public. He would just play along with it, then.     He was confident that she would willingly choose to stay home, raise their kids and be an obedient housewife after marriage. By then, he would have the Riggs family’s power and wealth in his pocket. He would then have enough power to go against Alexander, and with the help of his mother and sister, taking back control of the Russell family would just be a walk in the park. He felt much better after changing his perspective, so he also started to side with Heather.Unfortunately, Margaret disagreed with her son’s v

    “Celine!” Ralph was worried that she would make matters worse, so he called out to her.     However, Heather seemed unfazed by Celine’s remarks. She smirked, turned to her assistant, and added jokingly, “If she’s willing, then why not.”“You!” Celine was furious. On the other hand, Ralph was worried that she would soil the meeting, so he quickly cut in, “She’s just joking, just joking! Mom, it’s not easy for Heather to handle her family business alone, so that she would assign some tasks to her assistant. I also agreed with her, and Heather doesn’t have much to ask for. She just wants everything to be simple…”“I didn’t say that I won’t ask for anything,” She narrowed her eyes at him. Heather sat straight and asked, “I-I would like to move into the Russell family house.”     “Our house?” Ralph asked in as much surprise as Margaret was. “Yeah, but I want a room all to myself,” she continued, “I wish to move in tonight.”“So soon?” Ralph asked, clearly confused by her intentions

    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
