Chapter 940: Hear Me Out

Lena couldn't say anything after Minjun said those words.

She truly had hurt him plenty of times.

She thought he was doing the best for him by keeping him away from the public eye—and that included everyone he loved.

However, Lena was wrong.

She was doing it for herself. She was selfish.

For so long, she had kept her identity. She didn't want to go through what her dad went through. When people didn't know of her identity, she was more respected, and resistance was lower.

Moreover, she didn't have to face so many enemies.

She knew that a lot of people were praying for Phoenix's downfall. Too many people want to bring it down.

So, Lena did all of these to keep her peace...to keep the empire that her father had built.

Because it was the only tangible memory she had of him. 

However, to what expense?

She hurt her child more than anyone else in the world just because she was self-centered.
