Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband by Isabella Reed

Chapter 91

Morgan had been taken aback earlier when Lily reached out to suggest a family dinner. While he agreed to the idea without much hesitation, an unsettling feeling lingered. Something about her recent befinder felt out of place, leaving him uneasy.

The changes in Lily were undeniable. She was no longer the obedient and submissive person he had shaper her to be. The difference between the Lily of the past and the one sitting across from him now was stark b was as though she had become an entirely new person, unrecognizable from the pliable young once controlled so effortlessly.

He couldn’t pinpoint when it all began to unravel, but he suspected it started about a month ago. For reasons unknown to him, she began defying his instructions and making choices that didn’t align with h expectations. The realization that his hold over her was slipping filled him with frustration and

Morgan was no fool; he knew such drastic changes didn’t happen without cause. For days, he obsessed oner possible explanations, unable to shake the gnawing suspicion that she might have discovered something truth that he had worked so hard to conceal

In his desperation, he had her movements and actions investigated, but the results yielded nothing conclusive. Then came the incident where Lily openly confronted Ryan about his relationship with Rose was then that Morgan pieced together what could be the root of her transformation.

For years, Ryan had been his leverage, the one person Lily idolized and trusted without question. By using Ryan as a pawn, he ensured she would remain compliant. That was why he had repeatedly warned Rose to tread carefully and avoid exposing their secrets. However, his warnings often fell on deaf ears.

Rose’s growing arrogance and recklessness had begun to create cracks in their carefully constructed facade The worsening tension between Rose and Lily was a direct result of Rose’s inability to follow simple instructions, and this friction threatened to derail his plans entirely.

Even earlier that day, Morgan had argued with his youngest daughter over the family dinner. When Lily expressed her desire to reconcile with Rose, he had seen it as a golden opportunity to mend their strained relationship. However, Rose had dismissed the idea, insisting she had more pressing commitments–a so- called charity event that she refused to miss.

Her stubborn refusal had only further irritated Morgan. His once–beloved daughter, who could do no wrong in his eyes, was now acting like a spoiled child, oblivious to the stakes at hand. He had hoped to use the dinner to smooth things over between the two sisters, but Rose’s absence threw a wrench in those plans.

As Morgan mulled over these frustrations, a sense of dread began to creep in. He couldn’t shake the feeling that Lily was no longer the malleable pawn she once was–and that realization left him both wary and deeply unsettled.

Morgan’s frustration reached its peak earlier when Rose flatly refused to attend the family dinner. He had ordered her to cancel her so–called charity event, but as always, she paid no attention to his words. She stormed off, leaving him stewing in anger. Moments like these made him question whether he had gone too far in spoiling her. Yet, every time the thought crossed his mind, he quickly dismissed it–after all. Rose was his only daughter. If he didn’t indulge her, who would?

His thoughts were interrupted when Taylor sighed audibly. “It’s just not the same without Rose here,” Taylor remarked, glancing at his parents.

Casey quickly stepped in, offering a warm smile. “Your sister had an important event to attend. If she could have, she would’ve been here with us.”
