His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Rhea had no idea what sort of deal Lily had made with Yasmin. After all, the queen had only put Rhea in charge of the laboratory two days ago.

Rhea knew Lily was different from her. The former was upset that almost everyone favored Lily. From the look of it, Lily was not serious about her experiment at all.

"Whatever." Lily glanced at Rhea casually. "Snitch on me if you want."

Rhea's hand hurt, making Lily's attitude agitate her further.

"Do you think I won't? You're not the queen's only favorite! Don't forget why you're here, Lily. There are no VIP guests in the embassy," Rhea mocked and turned to leave.

Lily remained seated as she gazed after Rhea's departing figure. As the former's smile faded, she grew solemn. Lily knew she was not the queen's favorite. Although Yasmin seemed kind and friendly, she was highly selfish.

If not, she would not have held onto the throne for so many years without abdicating and ignoring her son's advice to stop the experiment. Therefore, Lily thought only a better alternative could change Yasmin's mind.

Indeed, Rhea was right to think Lily was just messing around in the lab. The latter knew it was impossible to achieve immortality and did not want to waste her life limited life on something so meaningless. Besides, Lily never intended to develop such a thing anyway. While it was possible to slow down aging and prolong life through stimulating cell regeneration, such research would take a very long time. What mattered most to Lily was to show Yasmin that she was indeed experimenting. Lily planned to show her finished product after some time. It did not matter whether or not Lily's experiment would work since Yasmin and her experts would know nothing about it.

After all, even a bright and experienced woman like Rhea had failed to understand Lily's research just now.

Since Yasmin trusted Lily's abilities, others would believe whatever Lily said. Lily only had one goal now-to rescue Nick.

Lily did not care if she were to die at the embassy, with or without the queen, as long as she could get Nick out. Still, Lily did not want to die without destroying the research and ensuring it would not harm anyone again.

Meanwhile, Rhea stormed away to look for Yasmin. However, the guards stopped her, informing her that the queen was not around.
