Her explanation?
Queenie fell silent for a while.
She suddenly turned her head and looked out the window. "You know what? I've actually long forgotten what my name really is. Ever since my teens when people started calling me Queenie Schmidt, I thought that I had become the real Queenie."
She lowered her head, a self-mocking smile on her lips.
"Ivy Lyons. That's my real name."
After speaking, she took a sip of red wine and said, "For so many years, the mysterious organization never contacted me, and I naively thought that I had really broken free from them. But unexpectedly, right after you obtained the V16, I received their summons. And now, I must hand over the V16 to them."
"Why?" Nora looked at her intently.
Why would a woman who was close to death go against her own will and let herself suffer coercion from others?
"Because of my family."
