“Lily,” Rose hissed through gritted teeth, her eyes blazing with anger. “How low are you willing to stoop? Just because Ryan doesn’t want you, you’re now trying to sabotage our relationship? But let me make one thing clear—you’ll never succeed. My bond with Ryan is unbreakable, and your pathetic lies mean nothing to us

She let out a triumphant laugh, her voice dripping with mockery. “Try as hard as you want, but you’ll never take Ryan away from me. Oh, and there’s something you should know, dear sister Rose’s tone turned cutting. “Ryan was never in love with you. It was all an act–a clever ploy to keep you under our control”

“Rose, stop!” Morgan’s sharp voice cut through the air, but she ignored him entirely, continuing with her taunts. “Do you know what the real joke is, Lily? This whole time, you actually believed Ryan loved you! But

the truth is, he never did. Not even for a moment.”

Rose’s expression was smug as she stepped closer, her voice filled with derision. “Get it into your head–you. can never have him. He’s mine, and he always will be.”

The sound of slow clapping interrupted her, echoing through the tense room.

Lily chuckled, her calm demeanor unnerving everyone in the room. “Finally, the masks are off. I was getting tired of this theatrical charade. Honestly, you all deserve awards for your performances. She paused, then fixed her sharp gaze on Rose. “But you know what, Rose? The joke’s on you.”

Her smile widened as she added, “You can keep that worthless excuse of a man. I don’t need him. In fact, let me enlighten you–I’m already married. And my husband? He’s nothing like your slimy boyfriend. He’s talented, exceptional, and leagues above anyone in this room.”

Rose’s smirk faltered, but she quickly recovered, rolling her eyes. “Oh, please! You expect me to believe that nonsense?” she scoffed.

Lily shrugged nonchalantly. “Believe whatever you want. The truth remains–I’m married. And here’s a little advice for your so–called man: tell him to stay far away from me. My husband doesn’t take kindly to filth trying to touch me.”
