Lily turned around to find Rose standing before her, wearing a smug smile that hinted at trouble. Before Lily

could figure out what this was about or say anything, the host of the show hurried over to them.

“Can | get a picture with both of you?” the host asked excitedly.

Before Lily could respond, Rose quickly smiled and grabbed her arm. “Of course!” she said sweetly, holding onto

Lily as though they were the best of friends.

Lily felt a pang of suspicion at Rose’s overly friendly demeanor. What was this woman up to? Since when did

Rose act like this?

After the pictures were taken, Lily politely excused herself, intending to walk away. However, just as she turned

to leave, Rose grabbed her arm again.

“Where do you think you're going, Elder Sister?” Rose said, her tone falsely sweet. “I need to talk to you.”

Lily frowned and tried to pull her arm free. “I don’t want to talk to you,” she said firmly.

Leaning in, Rose’s voice dropped to a low whisper. “Do you really want to create a scene here, Elder Sister?”

Before Lily could respond, Mia stepped forward, her eyes blazing with irritation. “And what if she does?” Mia shot

back, clearly fed up with Rose's antics. “Why don’t you leave her alone?”

Rose’s composure faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained it. With an exaggerated sigh, she forced a

smile and turned to Mia. “Miss Mia, I'll let your rude behavior slide today because I'm in a good mood,” she said.

Then, shifting her gaze back to Lily, she added with a smirk, “I just want to have a little chat with you, Elder

Sister. What's the harm in that? Unless... don’t tellyou're scared of me?”

Lily rolled her eyes at the provocation. Turning to Mia, she offered a reassuring glance, signaling that she could

handle this herself. She then removed Rose’s hand from her arm and led her to a quieter corner of the room.

“First of all,” Lily said sharply, crossing her arms, “I'm not scared of you. The reason | don’t want to talk to you is

that seeing your face ruins my mood. Do you understand that, Miss Rose?”

She gave Rose a hard look before continuing, her voice dripping with irritation. “Now stop wasting my tand

spit it out. What do you want?”

Rose's expression darkened, and she gritted her teeth. “What do you mean by ‘spit it out? Don’t cross your

limits, Lily,” she warned, her tone laced with anger.

Lily smirked at her attempt to sound threatening. “Oh, really? And what will you do if I cross my limits?” she

mocked. “Are you going to send your pathetic fiancé after me? Or maybe hire smore of those weak goons?

What's your plan this time, huh?”

Before Rose could respond, Lily continued with a shrug, her tone taunting. “Honestly, it's note I'm wrong. Isn't

that what you and your lapdog of a fiancé do best? Barking all day without achieving anything?”

Lily's words hit their mark, and she could see the fury simmering in Rose’s eyes. Without waiting for a response,

Lily turned on her heel. “Whatever you wanted to say, I'm not interested,” she called over her shoulder. “And |

definitely don’t have tto waste on you.”

But just as she began to walk away, Rose's voice stopped her in her tracks.

“Ethan,” Rose said, her tone smug and deliberate,

Lily paused, her back still facing Rose. Slowly, she turned around, her eyes narrowing as she took in the self-

satisfied smirk on Rose's face.

“Your husband's nis Ethan, isn’t it?” Rose said, her voice dripping with triumph.

Lily's expression froze. She said nothing, but her silence spoke volumes.

Lily remained silent, her expression calm, as she watched Rose smirk arrogantly. Misinterpreting her silence as

shock, Rose puffed up even more.

“Surprised, aren’t you?” Rose sneered. “| knew you'd be speechless. Well, now | know your husband’s nis

Ethan...”

“So?” Lily replied nonchalantly, cutting her off.

The sudden indifference in Lily's tone threw Rose off. She studied her elder sister's face, trying to decipher her

reaction, but something didn’t feel right.

“Aren’t you shocked? | mean, | know your husband’s name, Lily!” Rose exclaimed, her smugness faltering

slightly.

“Shocked?” Lily chuckled, shaking her head in amusement. “Oh, I'm shocked, alright. But not for the reason you

think.”

Her response made Rose frown in confusion.

“Tellsomething,” Lily continued, raising an eyebrow. “You're still living with Morgan and Ryan, right?”

Rose hesitated for a moment but nodded.

“And yet, despite living with those two clowns, your brain is still functional enough to piece this together. That's

what shocks me, little sister,” Lily said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “But honestly, what are you planning to

do with this information? Oh, wait, letcorrect myself-what can you even do about it?”

Rose froze, the realization hitting her like a slap. That was true-knowing Lily’s husband’s ndidn’t actually

give her any leverage. Her mind scrambled for a retort. “I... I'll..."

“Nothing,” Lily finished for her, laughing lightly. “You can’t do anything.”

Rose's face turned red with frustration. Her fists clenched tightly as she glared at Lily, her anger boiling

over.

“Aww, don't be like that, little sister,” Lily teased, feigning concern. “Why the death glare? | didn’t drag you to a

corner and force you to parade around like a proud peacock shouting my husband’s name.”

Lily's tone softened into mockery as she leaned closer. “So tell me, what exactly were you trying Did you really

think I'd be scared just because you know my husband's name? How utterly ridiculous.”

achieve?

The color drained from Rose's face as she stood there, stunned and speechless. Lily, however, was thoroughly

enjoying the spectacle.

“Since you're so interested in my husband,” Lily continued, casually draping her arm over Rose’s shoulder, “why

don’t | share a little more information with you? Maybe you and those fools you live with can cup with a

master plan.”

Lily’s smile widened. “His nis Ethan.”

“Ethan?” Rose repeated slowly, her confusion evident. She searched her memory, trying to recall anyone

significant by that name. There weren't many people with that name, but it still didn’t click.

“Does that nring a bell?” Lily asked, tilting her head.

Suddenly, Rose’s eyes widened in horror as the pieces fell into place.

“No... That's impossible!” she gasped, taking a shaky step back. Her voice trembled as she continued, “Ethan...

The heir of Collins Corporation? The prince of one of the four prestigious families?”

Lily nodded, her smirk growing more pronounced.

“No! It can’t be true. He's... he’s a prince, and you're...” Rose stammered, unable to complete her sentence.

“You're lying!”

Lily shrugged, her expression calm and confident. “Believe whatever you want. It doesn’t matter to me. Anyway,

| should get going. My husband’s probably waiting foroutside.”

Without sparing Rose another glance, Lily turned and walked away, her demeanor poised and unbothered.

Rose stood frozen, trembling with a mix of fear and disbelief. Was Lily toying with her, or was she actually telling

the truth? Could Mr. Ethan-one of the most powerful and influential figures-truly be Lily’s husband?

The possibility sent a chill down her spine.
