Chapter 174

Lily turned around to find Rose standing before her, wearing a smug smile that hinted at trouble. Before Lily could figure out what this was about or say anything, the host of the show hurried over to them.

“Can I get a picture with both of you?” the host asked excitedly.

Before Lily could respond, Rose quickly smiled and grabbed her arm. “Of course!” she said sweetly, holding onto Lily as though they were the best of friends.

Lily felt a pang of suspicion at Rose’s overly friendly demeanor. What was this woman up to? Since when did Rose act like this?

After the pictures were taken, Lily politely excused herself, intending to walk away. However, just as she turned to leave, Rose grabbed her arm again.

“Where do you think you’re going, Elder Sister?” Rose said, her tone falsely sweet. “I need to talk to you.”

Lily frowned and tried to pull her arm free. “I don’t want to talk to you,” she said firmly.

Leaning in, Rose’s voice dropped to a low whisper. “Do you really want to create a scene here, Elder Sister?”

Before Lily could respond, Mia stepped forward, her eyes blazing with irritation. “And what if she does?” Mia shot back, clearly fed up with Rose’s antics. “Why don’t you leave her alone?”

Rose’s composure faltered for a moment, but she quickly regained it. With an exaggerated sigh, she forced a smile and turned to Mia. “Miss Mia, I’ll let your rude behavior slide today because I’m in a good mood,” she said. Then, shifting her gaze back to Lily, she added with a smirk, “I just want to have a little chat with you, Elder Sister. What’s the harm in that? Unless… don’t tell me you’re scared of me?”

Lily rolled her eyes at the provocation. Turning to Mia, she offered a reassuring glance, signaling that she could handle this herself. She then removed Rose’s hand from her arm and led her to a quieter corner of the room.

“First of all,” Lily said sharply, crossing her arms, “I’m not scared of you. The reason I don’t want to talk to you is that seeing your face ruins my mood. Do you understand that, Miss Rose?”

She gave Rose a hard look before continuing, her voice dripping with irritation. “Now stop wasting my time and spit it out. What do you want?”

Rose’s expression darkened, and she gritted her teeth. “What do you mean by ‘spit it out‘? Don’t cross your limits, Lily,” she warned, her tone laced with anger.

Lily smirked at her attempt to sound threatening. “Oh, really? And what will you do if I cross my limits?” she mocked. “Are you going to send your pathetic fiancé after me? Or maybe hire some more of those weak goons? What’s your plan this time, huh?”
