Inside the grand hall of the Miller Mansion, a tense silence hung in the air. The maids had discreetly cleaned away the shattered glass, leaving no trace of the earlier chaos, and quietly retreated to avoid the looming storm. On the large couches, the family members sat with varying expressions–anger, frustration, and, for some, a simmering sense of betrayal.

As Lily entered the hall, she felt a thrill course through her veins. Her sharp eyes swept over the room, landing on each disgruntled face. Their reddened expressions were priceless, and a sly smirk tugged at her lips. Looks like my little “gift” was well received.

Rose was the first to notice her presence. Her eyes narrowed as she took in Lily’s calm demeanor and the infuriating smile playing on her lips. Rage and jealousy burned in her chest, but she kept her tone mocking.

“The rebellious sister returns,” she sneered. Just wait, Lily. Dad’s furious this time, and you’ve definitely crossed the line. He won’t spare you.

Her words drew the attention of everyone in the room. All eyes turned to Lily as she strolled in, her poise and serenity a stark contrast to the tension surrounding her.

Casey, the matriarch, was the first to break the silence. “Lily, dear, why didn’t you answer your phone?” she asked, her tone a mix of concern and accusation.

Lily feigned an innocent expression, tilting her head slightly as if confused. “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t have my phone with me,” she replied sweetly. Then, turning her gaze to Rose, she added with mock concern, “Rose, are you okay? Manager Nathan told me you weren’t feeling well. I was so worried.”

Rose’s face twisted into an angry sneer. “Cut the act, dear eldest sister. After everything you’ve done, you think I’d believe your fake concern? Spare me!” she snapped, her voice dripping with contempt.

The room tensed further as she continued, her voice rising. “How could you? Did you even think about your family before doing something so cruel? You’ve stabbed us all in the back! And for what? After everything we’ve done for you, this is how you repay us?”
