Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

One thing about Lily was that her lies and excuses were often believable. Even when people suspected she had hidden agendas, it was rare for anyone to guess what they actually were. After all, just like tonight's party, it wasn't merely an excuse Lily had come up with.
