Startled, Rhea stopped and wondered if Lily knew she was trying to escape. However, the latter shifted her cold gaze back to Fred
and said, “You've long found a vessel for yourself. You even picked a young one to have enough tto make preparations, didn’t
you?”
Fred grew pale, saying, “Say whatever you like. | know the queen won't believeanymore because of your lies!”
“You know better thanwhether or not I'm telling the truth.”
Rhea suddenly thought of something. Although Lily’s words were baffling, Rhea strangely understood them. Rhea wondered if she

Fred was stunned and played dumb. “I don’t know what you're talking about, Your Majesty. Still, | know you're not going to believe
He then stopped talking and put on an innocent look. Those who did not know any better might think he felt aggrieved. However,
Rhea had a hunch about what was happening when the queen mentioned Nick. Rhea could hardly believe it.
She never thought the boy would serve such an essential purpose. Rhea thought, ‘No wonder Fred wantsto tell Mike that his
son is already dead, even if it might drive him crazy!
‘Fred has never wanted to use Nick to control Mike. It's only a smokescreen to hide his real purpose. He abducted Nick to be his

‘If they hadn't exposed him today, | would have never thought about it.’
"Oh, yeah?" The queen sighed. "Are you truly so loyal to me?"
Fred remained quiet with an innocent look.
"Since you are, you should be willing to sacrifice yourself for me, right?" the queen asked.
Puzzled by what she meant, Fred looked over his shoulder at her.
The queen turned her wheelchair around to face him. She then moved closer and said, "I know you're loyal to me, and you've done

Fred thought he could turn things around and looked at her expectantly.
