Chapter 58

Finished

After being reprimanded by Lily, Ryan quietly retreated to a corner, his lips pressed together in silence. His shocked expression gave her a deep sense of satisfaction. In her previous life, she had been nothing more than a puppet to him, blindly following his every command and enduring his dismissive attitude. But now? Now he was the one standing there, stunned and speechless. The reversal felt exhilarating–a long–overdue victory in putting him in his place.

With Ryan dealt with, Lily turned her attention to her younger sister, Rose. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she raised an eyebrow, a challenge gleaming in her gaze. “Rose,” she said with a smirk, “I’m calling you out. Do you dare to accept my challenge?”

Rose didn’t hesitate, puffing out her chest with confidence. “Of course, I accept,” she replied, her tone laced with pride.

Before the tension could escalate further, Morgan’s voice boomed across the room, shattering the confrontation. “Enough! I’ve had enough of this nonsense from both of you!” he roared, his face red with fury. “There will be no challenges, and no one will accept any challenges! Do you hear me?”

His anger was palpable, the veins on his forehead bulging as he struggled to keep his temper in check. He turned to Lily first, his voice trembling with disappointment. “Lily, I never thought I’d see this side of you. What is all this talk about challenges and ruining each other’s futures?”

Then he shifted his glare to Rose. “And you. Rose! Is this how you speak to your elder sister? Hurling insults and saying such vile things? You’ve both let me down! You’re my daughters–how can you behave like this toward each other?”

Lily let out a bitter laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Really, Father? Am I truly your daughter?”

Her words hit Morgan like a physical blow. His face turned pale, and his heartbeat quickened. This was the question he had feared the most. Lily, what are you saying? Of course, you’re my eldest daughter,” he stammered, his voice unsteady.

Shaking her head, Lily gave a hollow chuckle. “I don’t believe that anymore. I feel more like an orphan you took in to serve your family.
