“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?”

“You-!” Rose’s face turned crimson with anger. She was seething, her fists clenched tightly by her sides. “I’ll kill you, you little–Ryan is my-

“Rose, enough!” Morgan’s thunderous voice interrupted, silencing her. “Shut your mouth and stop spouting nonsense!”

Lily couldn’t help but smirk at the scene unfolding before her. Watching her so–called father chastise his beloved daughter felt like sweet vindication. In my previous life, he never raised his voice against her, no matter what she did. This… this feels incredible.

Ryan, sensing the dangerous direction of the conversation, quickly intervened. “Her best friend! I’m her best friend, Lily. Don’t overthink it. She’s just angry and speaking nonsense. Isn’t that right, Rose?” His tone was firm, and his sharp gaze bore into Rose, a silent warning clear in his eyes.

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
