The host blinked in surprise at Lily’s answer. “Really? You mentioned his name? When?” he asked, racking his brain to recall the interview. He couldn’t think of any moment when she had dropped a name. 

It wasn’t just the host who was stunned. Everyone watching the live broadcast was equally baffled. The same question echoed in the minds of viewers everywhere: When did Miss Lily reveal her boyfriend’s name? 

Lily smiled gently, her expression calm yet enigmatic. “I did mention his name during the interview. If you listen carefully, I’m sure you’ll figure it out. I hope you all enjoy discovering it.” 

The host chuckled, clearly impressed by her playful yet mysterious approach. “Miss Lily, I must say, that’s quite clever. I’m certain this episode is going to set a record. People will rewatch it countless times, dissecting every word you said just to uncover the truth.” 

Lily nodded with a soft smile, her demeanor remaining composed and confident. 

Sitting beside her, Rose couldn’t hide the tension building within her. Despite her deep hatred for Lily, she had paid close attention to every word spoken during the interview. Like a hawk, she had been watching her rival from the start, waiting fo 

any slip or clue. 

Rose replayed the interview in her mind. Aside from Lily’s strange description of love, the rest of the discussion seemed ordinary. But clearly, she had missed something. What was the clue? What detail had escaped her notice? 

Her thoughts churned. If you want to defeat your enemy, you must first understand them, she reminded herself. And yet, she knew so little about Lily’s mysterious husband. Whoever he was, he had thwarted her every scheme against Lily. Every time she set a trap, he was there, unseen but effective, shielding his wife from harm. 

Who was this man? Rose’s unease grew. Whoever he was, he wielded immense power. The way Ryan’s company was brought to its knees overnight could only mean one thing–Lily’s husband held a status and influence that were unparalleled. 

It didn’t matter to Rose whether this man was young, old, or if Lily was his wife or mistress. What mattered was the sheer power he commanded. And if his influence surpassed that of the Miller Family, then she was in deep trouble. 

A cold dread gripped her. She could imagine the worst–case scenario: a day when everything she and her family had built was stripped away, a day when the Miller Family was reduced to a laughingstock. Lily was determined to exact her revenge, and with her husband’s power, she could very well succeed. 

But what about her? What did Rose have to defend herself? To protect her family? She clenched her fists, forcing herself to stay composed. This was her chance to act, to strategize for the future. If she didn’t, she feared the day her world would crumble under the weight of the truth and her rival’s relentless determination.” 

Rose’s mind raced with determination. If she could uncover the name of Lily’s mysterious husand, wouldn’t it be much easier to take action against her? A sly smile spread across her lips as she replayed the interview in her head. But the burning question remained: Where? When during the interview did Lily reveal his name? 

Suddenly, a thought struck her like a bolt of lightning. That odd description of love! 

Yes, that was it! The peculiar way Lily had described love now made perfect sense. The words she had chosen–Zeal. Happiness. Everlasting. Heartfelt. Affection, and Nice–weren’t random. Rose pieced it

together, her eyes widening with realization. 

Ethan.

Lily’s husband was Ethan. But who was he? That was the next mystery she had to solve. I’ll figure out who this Ethan is if it’s the last thing I do, she thought with a steely resolve. 

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Ethan was grinning from car to car as he watched the interview. His joy was palpable, radiating from him like sunlight. He felt as though he was walking on clouds. 

Two things had filled his heart with happiness. First, Lily had confessed her love for him on live television. And second–his personal favorite–her confession meant that everyone now knew she was taken. No one would dare try to compete for her heart now. 

As he thought about her subtle yet meaningful gesture, his grin widened. She was so clever, so perfect, and -most importantly–his. Feeling an overwhelming surge of love, Ethan picked up his phone. He had to call his assistant and set some plans in motion. He wanted to surprise his wife and make her feel as cherished as she had just made him feel. 

At the same time, in Pedro’s house, the atmosphere was the complete opposite. The room was engulfed in darkness, its heavy gloom suffocating anyone who dared enter. The air was thick with tension, punctuated by the sounds of objects smashing against walls, shattering into pieces. 

Pedro’s face was a mask of rage as he watched the interview. The moment Lily confessed her love, his fury ignited. A murderous intent burned brightly in his eyes, his thoughts spiraling into a dark abyss.
