Austin felt Ross didn’t completely understand what was going on, so he explained, “No. Based on the conversation, Fred has failed
and been imprisoned. It sounds like Rick and Rhea haven't been punished.”
“Fred failed?” Ross knitted his brow and thought momentarily before saying, “So he has started the experiment? Then, my mom—"
“She should be fine now,” Alexander quickly said, “Based on the conversation, Fred has failed, and the one in charge now should
be Her Majesty."
“My mom's in charge?” Ross was surprised. “But didn’t Fred hold her captive?”
"Her Majesty is a smart woman. Perhaps she was only playing along," Alexander said solemnly.
Although the conversation didn't seem like much, it provided the crucial information. The group discovered the queen had taken

"You're saying my mom purposely led Fred to believe that he had the upper hand?" Catching on, Ross said, "I was so worried about
her. Looks like I've underestimated her, huh?"

Majesty has taken over? Also, why hasn't my granduncle returned?"
"Well..." Stumped, Ross hesitated for a moment before saying, "Perhaps my mom wants to talk to them, and they'll be back in a
few days. Don't worry, I'll go back now and tell her to release them."
"It won't work." Mike narrowed his eyes and spoke bluntly, "Now that the queen has regained control, Rhea is still conducting her
experiment while Lily and Dominic haven't been set free. What does it mean?"
Looking up at Ross, he said solemnly, "It means the whole plan isn't Fred's idea, but..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Ross understood his meaning. Stunned, he blurted out, "You're saying this is all my mom's idea?"
The others didn’t reply, but the answer was clear.

she want to conduct those experiments? I'm sure she didn't know anything!"
