“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.

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.”
