Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband

Chapter 80

Finished

Standing at the entrance of Miller Corporation, Lily’s eyes lingered on the towering structure that once symbolized her ambition. This building had been her masterpiece, a dream painstakingly crafted, only to be unjustly taken from her. Now, it was time to reclaim it–step by step, on her terms.

Her thoughts drifted to the phone call she’d received from her so–called father, Morgan. His voice was overly sweet, like honey masking poison. First came his apology for Rose’s behavior during their last encounter, delivered with a facade of sincerity. Then, almost predictably, he segued into his true motive. requesting her assistance on a new project.

At first, Lily had considered outright rejection. But then a better plan formed in her mind. With Ethan already at his office after their warm morning together and Sister Mia taking a day off to recover from her emotional turmoil the previous day, she found herself free of obligations.

“Why not pay Miller Corporation a visit?” she thought, a sly smile tugging at her lips. “Let’s see what kind of trouble I can stir up.”

With renewed determination, she entered the building. Her heels clicked confidently against the polished marble floor as she walked, completely ignoring the whispers and curious stares of the employees she passed. She made her way to the elevator, pressing the button for Taylor’s floor without hesitation.

When she reached Taylor’s office, she gave a cursory knock on the door before immediately pushing it

open.

“Come in-“Taylor began, only to stop mid–sentence when he saw her walk in without waiting for his invitation. His brow furrowed in mild annoyance. “Why bother knocking if you’re just going to barge in?”

Lily shrugged, meeting his gaze with a casual smirk. “I knocked. You were just too slow to respond.”

Taylor sighed, his lips twitching as if to suppress a laugh. “Elder sister, please, have a seat.”

Rolling her eyes, she dropped into the chair opposite him. “As if I needed your permission,” she said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
