“I’m here to support my future wife,” Ryan said through gritted teeth, forcing a smug smile. “By the way, didn’t you claim you were married, Lily? So, where’s this ‘perfect husband‘ of yours? Why isn’t he here? Maybe he doesn’t care about you as much as you think. Or does he simply not love you?”

His smug tone and mocking expression made Mia’s blood boil. Her hands clenched into fists as she resisted the urge to slap him across the face. How dare he insult her idol like that? She huffed, stepping forward before Lily could respond.

“Are you high on something, Ryan?” Mia sneered, making a dramatic gagging noise. “Or have you just stopped looking at that ridiculous face of yours in the mirror? Maybe losing your company also made you lose your mind.”

Lily fought back a laugh, letting Mia take the lead. Mia’s glare sharpened as she continued, “Let me make one thing clear–my Lily’s husband is leagues above you. He’s the best husband in the world. Handsome, incredibly wealthy, kind, and hardworking. Do not dare to compare yourself to him, you pathetic excuse for a human being.”

Lily chimed in, her tone calm but cutting, “Exactly. My husband loves me deeply, and he works hard to manage his successful company. Unlike you, he’s not wasting his time lurking around sets, trying to act like he has it all together. You wouldn’t understand what it’s like to have real responsibilities or be a real man.”

Ryan’s face turned a deep shade of red, his fists tightening at his sides. He could feel the weight of their words stabbing at his pride. Already overwhelmed by his failing company and mounting troubles, their taunts were like salt rubbed into an open wound. Yet despite his anger, one question burned in his mind: Who was Lily’s husband?

He had no doubt that whoever the man was, he must be someone immensely powerful, someone who outranked him in wealth and influence. The thought only deepened his frustration.

Rose, who had been seething quietly beside him, finally broke her silence. Her lips curled into a smug smile as she said, “Elder sister, you might feel victorious now, but don’t get too comfortable. You may have caused trouble for my fiancé’s company, but don’t forget–I have the Miller company. With its resources, I can support him. Your little schemes won’t work for long.”

Despite her confident tone, her hatred for Lily burned fiercely. Every fiber of her being wanted to lash out, to scream, to tear Lily down. But with so many eyes watching, she had no choice but to maintain the pretense of composure.

“Oh, the Miller company,” Lily said, her voice light but thoughtful, as if she’d just remembered something important. She tilted her head, pretending to consider the weight of Rose’s words. “How could I ever forget about the Miller company?”
