The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

Catherine's beautiful eyes were now filled with tears. Her lips trembled slightly as she gazed at her aunt, Princess Zenobia, and said in a choked voice, "It's alright, Aunt... I'm just a little sad... Even though the children's father can no longer be with me, in my heart he will always be a great hero! Even if I'm all alone from now on, I will raise these two children with all my heart."

At this moment, Catherine's face was a mixture of endless sorrow and determination. Her originally fair and delicate face was as pale as paper due to excessive grief, and the crystal tears hanging at the corners of her eyes seemed as if they might roll down at any moment; however, she clenched her teeth, and her eyes revealed an unwavering light that moved everyone who saw her.

Hearing Catherine's deeply moving words and witnessing her utter grief, the curiosity and doubts of those around her vanished instantly, replaced by overwhelming sympathy and pity. They all lowered their heads, as if afraid that another glance at this pitiful woman would tear their hearts apart even more.

Queen Sharon, who had been sitting upright in her seat, quietly observed everything that was happening before her. Her wise and deep eyes showed no emotion, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a subtle smile of satisfaction—it must be said that her granddaughter Catherine's "performance" was truly brilliant, easily fooling everyone present.

If the Queen had been completely unaware of the truth beforehand, she would likely have been easily deceived by Catherine's acting skills, which were simply superb!

However, Queen Sharon only felt a sense of regret. She knew that her granddaughter had chosen to conceal the truth so that her other brother could successfully complete his arduous task.

It's important to understand that the more people who know about this, the greater the risk. Therefore, naturally, the fewer people who know, the safer and more reliable it is.

Therefore, as one of the insiders, and also one of the few people who knew that the child was still alive, Her Majesty had no choice but to do everything she could to cover for Catherine and the child.

However, such a deceptive scheme is ultimately unsustainable. If they want to solidify this so-called "truth" later, they will obviously need to put in much more effort and thought. It's better to solidify this "truth" they've envisioned now.

Queen Sharon knew that if she wanted to successfully deceive all the members of the royal family present and prevent them from arousing suspicion and launching an investigation, she needed to get her own personal approval as Her Majesty the Queen.

It should be noted that everyone present here is no ordinary person. Although the royal family has always maintained a facade of harmony, it does not mean that everyone can be easily fooled.

Queen Sharon first gazed deeply at her youngest granddaughter, her eyes filled with boundless love and tenderness. Then, she slowly swept her gaze across everyone present, her expression solemn and dignified. Finally, in a steady and firm voice, she spoke: “Just now, I received the crucial test results and immediately contacted the Chinese side for further confirmation. Now, I can tell you definitively that the child's father is indeed… He heroically sacrificed his life during a difficult mission. Therefore, from today onwards, all members of the Royal Family, please refrain from mentioning this matter again, lest Catherine be repeatedly reminded of those heartbreaking memories. Does everyone understand?”

As soon as Queen Sharon finished speaking, everyone nodded, indicating that they understood and would abide by her request. A heavy and oppressive atmosphere filled the room.

Crown Prince Blaine looked solemnly at the Queen seated on the throne and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, rest assured! We are all very clear that from today onwards, no one will dare to mention this matter again to harm Catherine. Otherwise, not only will Your Majesty not easily let off the hook for stirring up trouble again, but I, your son, will also absolutely not lightly forgive the person who made such a low-level mistake!"

Queen Sharon nodded slightly, indicating her approval and satisfaction with her eldest son's statement. She knew perfectly well that it was precisely because of her firm affirmation that her usually shrewd eldest son had completely believed the so-called "truth" that Catherine had so meticulously woven.

The others present were already used to this. After all, Crown Prince Blaine had always been so protective of Princess Catherine; whenever it came to matters concerning her, Prince Blaine would always stand up for her without hesitation.

Therefore, when they saw Prince Blaine once again demonstrating his firm support for Catherine, they were not too surprised, but simply watched the situation unfold silently.

The cabinet ministers were already used to this scene, after all, in this large and prestigious royal family, the most favored was undoubtedly Princess Catherine. Whether it was Prince Blaine, who had not yet become the crown prince, or the other princes, they would all willingly support her.

At this moment, Queen Sharon turned her gaze to Catherine. Her usually authoritative voice sounded slightly cold, yet even so, it still held a hint of gentleness. Queen Sharon slowly asked, "Catherine, have you named your two lovely children? They are about to be recorded in the family genealogy; it won't do if they don't have suitable names yet!"

Catherine had composed herself, though her voice was slightly hoarse as she said, "Grandmother, the children's names were chosen by their father before they were born. Both children will take my surname and their mother's surname, using their grandmother's side of the family name. The older brother is named Shi'an, and the younger sister is named Shi Ning. They haven't been given royal names yet. Moreover, the children's father and I have already discussed this, and Grandmother will choose another name for the children. I have already chosen their nicknames. I humbly request Grandmother to name the children."
