"Why bother?"

Hearing the black-clad woman's persuasion, a wry smile appeared on the face of the mixed-race beauty, she pointed to her flower-like face, that beautiful face stained with tears:

"Scorpion, do you think I'm beautiful?"

The mixed-race beauty was evidently a bit drunk, her gaze was somewhat scattered, and that lost and destitute appearance made the black-clad woman feel even more distressed!

"Queen, in my eyes, you are the most perfect woman in this world!"

What Scorpion said were all heartfelt words. She was already one of the top five super assassins on the assassin list, and the reason she stayed by the mixed-race beauty's side was not because the latter paid more but because she was too perfect!

Whether it was her appearance, her personality, her abilities, everything about her symbolized this woman's perfection!

Scorpion even suspected there would never be another woman more perfect than Her Majesty in this world!

Listening to Scorpion's words, the wry smile on the mixed-race beauty's pretty face deepened, that faint bitterness and melancholy were heartbreaking:

"Scorpion, you are wrong! I am not perfect, if I were perfect enough, how could he sneak away from me..."

Saying this, the mixed-race beauty picked up a glass of Brandy Alexander and fiercely drank it down, then with bleary eyes said:

"Scorpion, we've known each other for a year, and you've protected me for a year. Perhaps you still don't know my past!"

At this moment, the mixed-race beauty, with her dreamy gaze, slowly started telling Scorpion:

"I was born in a red-light district in Nevada! My mom was a prostitute, my dad an unknown white man! I was born and raised in the red-light district! There, I've seen countless women sell their bodies and souls for a few bucks, letting men trample and humiliate them!"

As she spoke of her past, the tears in the beautiful eyes of the mixed-race beauty flowed more urgently:

"I was unwilling to live like my mother, living humbly under men's charity, under men's trampling. I wanted to change my life, change my fate! So, at the age of 18, I left the red-light district where I grew up, left my prostitute mother, and came to New York alone!"

"In New York, I worked diligently, putting in ten times more effort than others, just to prove one thing: women can live without relying on men, women can surpass men! I wanted to become a Queen, to make all the men in the world worship at my feet! I wanted to prove that women are not weaklings!"

The mixed-race beauty's eyes flashed with intense determination, so earnest that it shook Scorpion!

She was discovering for the first time that Her Majesty was the daughter of a prostitute, and she succeeded, enough for any man in the world to worship her!

"Later, I came to this bar—the Romantic Bar!" The mixed-race beauty looked at this bar, her beautiful eyes shining with a different feeling:

"I started here as a server, delivering drinks to guests! But once, a nasty group of guests came to the bar. They were thugs and hooligans from Green Street. The leader of that group set his eyes on me and wanted to assault me in the bar!"

"At that time, I had already despaired. No one could stop it, and no one dared to step forward, they were all a group of desperate outlaws!"

At this point, there was no trace of fear on the mixed-race beauty's face, instead, it revealed a sweet smile:

"But he appeared..."

The mixed-race beauty said, pointing to where she sat, smiling at Scorpion:

"At that time, he was sitting there, under the neon lights, so mysterious, so captivating! However, unlike all the hero-rescues-beauty plots, he didn't take action, nor did he stand up, he just said one sentence and made those thugs flee!"

"What did he say?" Scorpion's face showed intense curiosity, and she straightforwardly asked.

"My name is Ye Feng!"

The mixed-race beauty's smile was so bright, as if those four words had utterly integrated into her heart, every mention of it was like stepping back to the past, back to the days with him:

"It was those four words that drove away all the thugs and made me fall in love with him! Later, I wanted to treat him to a drink, he asked what drink I liked, and I said 'Brandy Alexander'!"

"Brandy Alexander?" Only then did Scorpion understand why Her Majesty always sat in the same position each time she went out and drank the same drink!

"Scorpion, do you know the meaning of Brandy Alexander?" The mixed-race beauty asked Scorpion with a smile!

Scorpion shook her head, she didn't know much about drinks!

"Brandy Alexander was concocted as a tribute to celebrate the marriage of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom and Queen Alexandra in the mid-19th century! It symbolizes the sweetness of love, a drink only meant for lovers! But I chose to give my first Alexander to him! My prince!"

"Then what?" Scorpion's curiosity grew deeper, couldn't help but ask!

"Then, while drinking Brandy Alexander and chatting, he asked me what my dream was, I told him I wanted to be the Queen, to make him and all men worship at my feet!

He laughed, but when he left, he told me he would give me the opportunity to become a Queen!"

"After that, he sent me to the FBA alliance! There, I was reborn, I worked hard, studied like crazy! I even forgot about the queen dream, I just wanted to follow him, to stand at the same height as him!

Later, I succeeded, I became the Queen of the FBA alliance, I can sweep Wall Street, I can influence the United States' economy, I can decide the fate of the American people! But... I lost him..."

At this moment, tears burst from the mixed-race beauty's eyes, she picked up the Brandy Alexander on the table, and fiercely drank it down!

One glass after another!

That kind of inconsolable sadness, heartbroken as if the gut were being wrenched, almost made Scorpion cry!

The Queen gained what she wanted but lost the one she loved the most!

Now there's only waiting, waiting for an impossible restart, a love that can never relive!

"Scorpion, do you know? I regret it so much now, I don't want to be a Queen, I don't want everything, I just want him…"

Saying this, the mixed-race beauty had already been reduced to sobs, lying on the coffee table and cried incessantly:

"I miss him... I think about him every day, from the moment I wake up in the morning until I fall asleep at night, I… there's not a moment I don't think of him... Today is the third anniversary of our acquaintance!

Three years ago on this day, I met him! Three years later today, I miss him even more…

I've made countless decisions, wanting to go to Jiangnan to search for him, but… but I'm even more afraid of meeting him… afraid of his indifference, afraid of his cold-heartedness…"

The mixed-race beauty cried her heart out, looking like a little girl who had lost her most cherished possession, so bewildered, so lost, so forlorn…

"I no longer wish to be the world's Queen, I... I just want to be his... woman..."
