Chapter 2133

Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2133-The queen calmed down and looked sad, probably because of Lily’s self-deprecating tone. Maybe it was also because Lily’s words made her realize something.

“I never thought he’d do this to me.”

“Maybe you were just in denial,” Lily said, “He’s served you for many years and is the person you trusted most. I doubt you’d want to think he would betray you.”

Lily knew how it felt to be betrayed by someone. She felt angry, disappointed, and sad when she discovered Mike had deceived her, even though the organization forced him to.

‘Not to mention the queen’s situation. People in power and influence are most concerned about betrayal by those closest to them. Once one breaks that trust, it can be permanent.’

The queen sighed and shook her head. “Why would he do this? My health has been terrible recently, and I’ve relied on his advice. He doesn’t need to—”

“Greed knows no bounds, Your Majesty.” Lily looked at the queen without fear or panic.

“Aren’t you afraid?” the queen asked, “You know what you’re about to face soon.”

“Well, if being scared could fix things, I’d be terrified of whatever’s coming. But we both know it can’t.”

Lily shook her head and said steadily, “You should be more afraid than me now.”

The queen widened her eyes and laughed, “Me? Afraid of you? Why should I be? I’m the queen, for goodness’ sake!”

“Of course you are. Still, you fear getting old and dying. It’s a problem you’ll be facing soon, and now you also have to face betrayals and the loss of… Well, we’re fearless when we have nothing to lose, right?

“Simultaneously, the more we have, the more we fear losing those things,” Lily said as if chatting with a good friend. However, her words struck the queen as they revealed her true feelings and harsh reality.

“No way!” The queen shouted, “That’s enough of you fear-mongering! You’re just trying to divide us.”

“When did I speak of fear-mongering and divide?” Lily smiled indifferently and approached the queen, saying, “How about betrayal and treachery? I doubt Fred would use those words in your presence, right?”

“Just shut the hell up!” The queen covered her ears and shut her eyes.

“You can choose not to listen, but can you prevent things from happening?” Lily got herself a glass of water, then sat on the sofa.

Hearing nothing, the queen slowly opened her eyes, thinking Lily had left. Yet she was surprised when she looked over her shoulder and saw Lily smiling at her.

The queen gripped her wheelchair’s push rings and said hoarsely, “What’s your point? You’re a prisoner just like me.”

“We’re not exactly in the same situation,” Lily shook her head and said, “I have a chance of leaving, but I’m afraid it’ll be tough luck for you.”

The queen blinked, saying, “Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around?”
