“Don’t you dare speak to Brother Ryan like that!” Rose roared, her voice trembling with rage. How dare this woman snap at my man! If only I could get rid of her right now…

Lily turned her sharp gaze toward her sister, her tone biting. “I’ll speak to him however I want. He’s my boyfriend. Who are you to interfere?”

Despite her overwhelming fury, Rose understood the unspoken message. No matter how much she despised Lily at that moment, she couldn’t openly contradict Ryan. Swallowing her pride, she nodded reluctantly. “He’s my best friend,” she muttered through gritted teeth. “That’s all. So don’t talk to him like
