Rose’s face was twisted with frustration as she realized her plan had completely fallen apart. Just then, a hand rested lightly on her shoulder.

“Is there a problem?” came a calm yet sharp voice.

Rose turned around, quickly masking her irritation with a bright, practiced smile. “Of course not, Miss Mia. I’m just relieved that all those terrible rumors have been cleared up. I was so worried about my elder

Mia raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a faint smile. “Were you, now? It’s funny, isn’t it? People with ill intentions always seem to fail when it comes to harming Lily. You know why? Because she’s surrounded by people who genuinely love her and would go to great lengths to protect her.”

Rose let out a light laugh, nodding her head in agreement. “Absolutely, Miss Mia, I’m one of those people. I love my sister and I’ll always protect her.”

Turning to her manager, she said firmly, “Let’s go, Nathan.”

As Rose and Nathan walked away, Mia’s smile faded, replaced by a cold sneer. You’re right about one thing. Rose–you are one of those people. But not the kind who protects; you’re the kind who schemes.

“Z–Ethan…” she managed to whisper, her voice hoarse and barely audible.

Outside the door, Ethan paced restlessly, his brows knitted in deep concern. He debated whether to call a doctor, but the sound of Lily’s frail voice calling his name shattered his hesitation,
