“Don’t act too smart, Lily!” Rose snapped, her voice trembling with frustration.

Lily let out a mocking laugh. “Oh, Rose, I don’t take orders from you anymore. But let me ask you something. What exactly are you celebrating today? Your engagement or Ryan’s downfall? Either way, it’s not my concern. Celebrate however you like. Goodbye!”

The call ended with a decisive click.

Ryan, glaring at his phone, hurled it across the room in a fit of rage. The sound of the device shattering startled everyone in the room. It was rare to see him lose control like this.

“Baby, calm down,” Rose said softly, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

“Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down after this?” Ryan yelled, only to catch sight of the startled look on her face. Taking a deep breath, he softened his tone. “I’m sorry, Rose. I didn’t mean to shout at you. Please forgive me.”

Rose smiled weakly, trying to reassure him. “I understand, Ryan. Don’t worry. We’ll find a way to fix this. We can’t let that woman walk all over us.”

“You’re right,” Ryan agreed, his expression hardening. “We won’t let Lily win.”

As he pulled her into his arms for comfort, Rose’s mind raced with thoughts of how she could help. Turning toward her father, who appeared lost in thought, she asked, “Dad, can you do something to help Ryan? We can’t let this go unanswered.”

All eyes turned to Morgan as he stood and made his way toward Ryan’s parents. A sly smile spread across his face as he placed a hand on Ryan’s father’s shoulder.
