When Lily heard her father’s question, Morgan hesitated for a moment before speaking. To him, Lily was a vital piece in his plans, a chess piece he couldn’t afford to lose. He recalled her earlier bold words, which made him tread carefully. He didn’t want to risk provoking her emotions further, as it might lead to unpredictable consequences.

“Lily, why did you do this? What made you go against my decision?” he asked cautiously, his tone soft and fatherly.

Lily, feigning innocence, replied, “What have I done to deserve such extreme reactions from all of you?”

Watching her father address Lily so gently, Rose couldn’t contain her frustration. He was speaking kindly to her, while moments ago, he had been shouting at her. Unable to control her emotions, she burst out, “Are you still pretending, Lily? Just admit it–you’re rebelling against us. You just want to-” But before she could finish, she caught her father’s sharp, disapproving glare and immediately fell silent.

“Rebel? I don’t understand. Other than Rose, can someone explain to me what’s going on?” Lily asked, looking directly at her father with wide, questioning eyes.

Morgan let out a weary sigh, feeling the onset of a headache from all the commotion. Pointing to the TV, he asked, “Lily, what is the meaning of this?”

Turning her attention to the screen, Lily saw the news and smirked briefly. Quickly masking her expression, she exclaimed in an excited tone, “Oh my God! I almost forgot. This is my surprise for you all! Wait-” She looked around dramatically and added, “Wait a second… Rose, were you accusing me because of this? Is this what had everyone so worried?”
