“Rose, if you had been honest with me earlier, maybe all of this could have been avoided, Lily said with at weary sigh. “But what’s done is done. If you truly love him, then you can have him.”

Her words were calm, but her gaze carried a hidden sharpness.

“I understand how you feel,” she continued. “Don’t worry–I won’t stand in your way. You two deserve each other.” She offered a soft smile, her expression unreadable.

“Really, elder sister?” Rose’s face lit up with excitement, and she almost jumped for joy. Finally! This fool knows her place and won’t be competing for my man anymore, she thought smugly

“Of course,” Lily replied with a serene nod. “From this moment on, I declare that there is no longer any relationship between me and Ryan.”

Ryan nodded stiffly, forcing a smile. Meanwhile, Rose couldn’t contain her excitement. “Thank you so much, elder sister!” she exclaimed, her voice filled with exaggerated gratitude.

The Miler family visibly relaxed. Morgan and his wife let out deep breaths of relief, their tense shoulders finally casing. They had been bracing themselves for a confrontation that could have spiraled out of control. But now, it seemed everything had been resolved peacefully.

Watching the scene unfold, Taylor smirked from the corner of the room. His sharp eyes observed every detail. They really don’t see it coming, he thought, almost pitying his family.
