Lily stepped forward, her voice steady as she made an announcement that left the entire room in shock, “Today, I’d like to share something about my identity. My name is Lily, and I am the eldest daughter of the Miller Family. Yes, that means I’m Rose’s elder sister.” 

A collective gasp echoed through the room. The reporters stared at her, stunned, 

“Rose’s elder sister?!” 

This revelation sent the reporters into a frenzy. They had only ever heard about Rose and Taylor, the two publicly known children of the influential Miller Family. The existence of another daughter was groundbreaking news. Cameras clicked rapidly, capturing every angle of Lily as the questions started flying. 

“Miss Lilyly, you’re saying you’re Rose’s sister?!” 

“Yes, that’s correct,” she confirmed with a calm smile. 

“Why was your identity kept a secret? Why has no one heard about you before? Were you deliberately hidden from the public?” a reporter asked. 

Lily shook her head gently. “It wasn’t exactly a secret. I spent most of my life in the States, away from the media spotlight. That’s why not many people knew about me.” 

“Then why did you choose to join Marvellous Universe instead of working with Motion Stars, a company affiliated with your family? Is there some kind of rivalry between you and your sister?” 

Lily chuckled softly at the question. “Rivalry? That’s an interesting way to put it,” she replied, suppressing the bitter truth. If only they knew about the real battlefield between us. 

She continued with poise, “The truth is, I wanted to build my career based on my own abilities, not because of my family name or connections. Everyone knows that Motion Stars is partially owned by my family. If I worked there, people might assume I got roles through favoritism. That’s not what I want. 

“Also, when given a chance to work under someone as amazing as Mia, wouldn’t anyone take it? I’m incredibly lucky to be part of Marvellous Universe.” 

The reporters seemed satisfied with her response, though one couldn’t help but dig further. “But Miss Lilyly, Marvellous Universe is one of Motion Stars‘ biggest competitors. If a situation ever arises where you must choose between Marvellous Universe and your family, who will you stand with?” 

Lily’s gaze didn’t waver. “That’s a good question. To me, both are important but in different ways. Professionally, my loyalty lies with Marvellous Universe. Personally, I will always love my family. I believe I can honor both without conflict.” 

Her thoughtful and diplomatic answer earned her nods of approval from the crowd. 

Meanwhile, the reporters turned to Rose, eager for her reaction. “Miss Rose, what do you think about this revelation? Did you know from the beginning that your sister would be playing the antagonist role?” 

Rose, masking her seething rage behind a warm smile, replied with practiced ease. “I was completely surprised when I found out. Seeing my elder sister here was unexpected but also a pleasant shock. I’m genuinely happy for her.” 

“And how do you feel about your sister working with Marvellous Universe, a rival company?”

Feigning support, Rose answered, “I’m thrilled for her. She’s pursuing her dreams, and I couldn’t be happier to see her succeeding.” 

One reporter pressed further. “Miss Rose, what do you think of your sister’s acting skills?” 

Rose forced a laugh, her fists clenched out of view. “I’ve always known my sister had exceptional talent. I’m proud that we now have the opportunity to work together in the same movie.” 

Her sugary words masked the simmering fury in her heart. The praise showered upon Lily was unbearable. This was supposed to be my moment. How dare she take the spotlight from me? 

Lily, fully aware of her sister’s inner turmoil, watched her with a subtle smirk. How does it feel, Rose? To see your worst enemy stealing the attention you thought was yours? 

The tension between the two sisters remained hidden under their polished facades, but the unspoken battle between them was only beginning. 

In her heart, Lily couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. Who would understand better than me? The memory of her past life was still vivid–how devastated she had felt when the truth had finally come to light. 

This is just the beginning, Rose, she thought with icy determination. Watch closely as I dismantle everything you hold dear, piece by piece. For every ounce of pain you caused me, I promise to return it a hundredfold. 

As the opening ceremony came to an end, the atmosphere was filled with excitement. The reporters left satisfied, armed with sensational headlines, while those who had come to criticize Lily walked away as her new admirers. 

Passing through the crowd, Mia suddenly stopped in front of Sierra. With a calm but cutting tone, she said, “Miss Sierra, may I have a word with you?” 

Sierra stiffened. Though she felt intimidated by Mia, she maintained her composure, forcing a polite smile. “Of course, Miss Mia. What can I do for you?” 

Mia leaned in slightly, her words sharp enough to cut. “Let me offer you some advice, Sierra. There are certain people you should think twice about offending. I happen to be one of them. Next time you plan to spread lies or post nonsense online, at least make sure your little scheme has a chance of succeeding.” 

Feigning innocence, Sierra tilted her head. “I’m not sure I understand what you’re implying, Miss Mia.” 

“Oh, perhaps your memory is failing you,” Mia retorted, her smile razor–sharp. “You might want to get your brain checked. It could help you make smarter decisions in the future. And let me warn you, Sierra, if you dare to target my artist again, I’ll make your life a living hell.” 

Before Sierra could respond, Mia grabbed Lily’s hand and walked away. 

Sierra clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. Mia’s words were like a slap across her face. Watching them disappear into the crowd, she sneered to herself. Fine, Miss Mia, you’ve won this time. But don’t get too comfortable. I’ll have my revenge–sooner or later. 

Meanwhile, Rose stood nearby, her barely controlled fury simmering beneath her carefully maintained exterior. Her manager, Nathan, stepped in quickly, placing a hand on her arm to stop her.
