Chapter 151

In Paris

As soon as Lily walked away with her group. Ryan swiftly approached Rose, his face clouded with concem. Gripping her arm gently but firmly, he asked in a lushed, anxious tone. “Rose, did she say anything? Who is he? Who is her husband? Is he here? Is he some rich, powerful, and influential man? Do we know him

Rose raised an eyebrow, her lips curling into a sly smile. “Why are you so flustered, Ryan Are you planning to compare yourself to her husband? Or are you perhaps jealous?”

Ryan chuckled awkwardly, tapping her forehead lightly with his finger. “Come on, Rose. What nonsense are you thinking? Why would I be jealous of someone insignificant? I was just curious after all, this mysterious husband of hers nearly caused my business to crumble

Rose let out a small sigh, her shoulders relaxing. Tim sorry, Ryan. I shouldn’t have doubted your intentions. It’s just that… talking to her makes my head ache. I can’t stand her attitude!

“I understand,” Ryan said softly. “But tell me, did she give you any hints? Is he here?*

Rose shook her head. “No, she said he’s not here yet. But Ryan, you know what’s strange? She told me that I wouldn’t believe her even if she revealed who he is. Doesn’t that sound suspicious?”

Ryan’s brows knitted together. “She said that? Could he be someone important, someone powerful?”

Rose shrugged casually. I doubt it. Think about it, Ryan. Who is Lily anyway? To the world, she’s just the eldest daughter of the Miller Family. She has no fame, no power, nothing. Sure, she’s pretty, but apart from her face and her figure, what else does she have to offer?”

Ryan frowned, deep in thought. “Let’s wait and see who this mysterious husband is.”

“Agreed,” Rose said as they turned and walked away.

Meanwhile, across the grand hall, Lily and Mia made their way toward Director Young-
