Chapter 95

Lily tilted her head slightly, a light chuckle escaping her lips as she gently lifted Rose’s chin. “Oh, my sweet, naive little sister,” she said, her voice dripping with mock concern. “It seems you didn’t understand my plan at all. Let me simplify it for you.”

Her smile widened as she continued, her tone feigning kindness, “Here’s the idea: tomorrow, Ryan and I will get married quietly, just the two of us. At the same time, you’ll announce your breakup with him. Simple, isn’t it?”

Lily leaned in closer, her eyes gleaming with amusement. “See? It’s a win–win situation. You get to move on, and I’ll be happily married to Ryan.

“No! This can’t happen!” Rose’s voice suddenly broke the silence, sharp and panicked.

Lily sighed, feigning irritation. “Now what, little sister?” she asked, her tone calm but her eyes watchful. “Is -there yet another issue?”

Under her father’s furious glare, Rose hesitated, her confidence faltering. She stammered, “E–elder sister, you can’t marry Ryan!”
