“Four? That’s impossible, Uncle! Everyone knows there are only three prestigious families–the Ethans, the Tangs, and the Lins,” Ryan said, his voice filled with disbelief.

“Dad, who are the Longs?” Rose chimed in, her curiosity piqued. “If they’re one of the prestigious families, why doesn’t anyone know about them? And what’s the connection between Lily and these families?”

Morgan sighed deeply, hesitating for a moment before answering. “I can’t tell you everything. The less you know, the better it is for you. What you must understand is this–Lily is the daughter of one of these prestigious families.”
