Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband (Lily and Ryan) novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95 

Lily tilted her head slightly, a light chuckle escaping her lips as she gently lifted Rose’s chin. “Oh, my sweet, naive little sister,” she said, her voice dripping with mock concern. “It seems you didn’t understand my plan at all. Let me simplify it for you.” 

Her smile widened as she continued, her tone feigning kindness, “Here’s the idea: tomorrow, Ryan and I will get married quietly, just the two of us. At the same time, you’ll announce your breakup with him. Simple, isn’t it?” 

She gave Rose a moment to process before adding, “Alter a month or so, you can tell everyone about your relationship with your actual boyfriend. That way, you won’t face any awkward questions, and everything will fall into place perfectly.” 

Lily leaned in closer, her eyes gleaming with amusement. “See? It’s a win–win situation. You get to move on, and I’ll be happily married to Ryan. After some time, when everything settles down, we can even host the “big wedding‘ you were so insistent on, maybe in a year or two. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect solution, little sister? 

Rose’s eyes widened in shock, her lips parting to respond, but no words came out. She stood there, stunned. and unable to speak, while everyone else in the room remained silent. 

Seeing no one object, Lily’s smirk deepened. She crossed her arms and continued, her voice laced with false sincerity. “Since no one seems to have any objections, I’ll take that as agreement. Great! That settles it, then. Tomorrow, Ryan and I will be married.” 

“No! This can’t happen!” Rose’s voice suddenly broke the silence, sharp and panicked. 

Lily sighed, feigning irritation. “Now what, little sister?” she asked, her tone calm but her eyes watchful. “Is -there yet another issue?” 

Under her father’s furious glare, Rose hesitated, her confidence faltering. She stammered, “E–elder sister, you can’t marry Ryan!” 

“And why not? 1 

“Because…” 

Lily’s tone remained light, but there was a glint of challenge in her eyes.

Lily placed a hand gently on Rose’s arm, her expression softening just enough to appear genuine. “Rose, 

are you so nervous? Is there something you want to tell me? Don’t be afraid. I’m your elder sister–you 

can trust me.” 

She leaned closer, her voice dropping slightly as if to coax a secret. “What’s wrong? Everyone else has agreed, but you keep objecting. Why, Rose? Why are you so determined to stop my marriage to Ryan?” 

Rose remained silent, her head lowered, and her trembling became more noticeable. Lily pressed further, her voice steady but persistent. “Is there something you need to confess, little sister? Go ahead–say what’s on your mind. Or is it that you’re hiding something from me?” 

Lily’s words hung in the air like a taunt. She knew exactly how to manipulate the situation, confident that Ryan was Rose’s Achilles‘ heel. The desperation in her younger sister’s eyes was all the confirmation she needed. Rose would never allow Ryan to belong to someone else, and Lily planned to use that to her advantage. 

Rose’s voice finally broke through shaky and defensive. “There’s nothing to confess elder sister. It’s inst

that. I think rushing into a marriage tomorrow isn’t a good idea. It’s too soon.”

“Oh?” Lily raised an eyebrow, her smile returning. “Too soon? But why? You’ve just spent the past hour convincing everyone that this was all a misunderstanding. If there’s no problem between Ryan and me, why should we wait? Shouldn’t I marry the man I love?” 

Rose’s face paled as she grasped for an answer. Her heart pounded in her chest as she realized that every excuse she offered only seemed to tighten the trap Lily was setting. 

“How strange.” Lily remarked, her voice laced with mock curiosity. “I would’ve thought my little sister would be overjoyed to hear about my marriage plans. But looking at you now, I can’t say that’s the case. What’s wrong. Rose? Is there a problem with my marriage, or… could it be that you’re upset because I’m the one marrying Ryan and not you?” 

Rose stiffened, her eyes wide in shock. “Elder sister, what are you saying?” she stammered. 

Lily raised an eyebrow and smirked, her tone sharp. “Oh, please, Rose. Spare me the theatrics. I’ve had enough of this little act, and honestly, it’s getting boring. Let’s just cut to the chase, shall we? You know exactly what I’m talking about, don’t you?” 

Before Rose could respond, Morgan, sensing the situation spiraling out of control, stepped in hurriedly. Forcing a polite smile, he said, “Lily, that’s enough. Let’s all go home. The truth has already come to light, so 

there’s no need to-” 

“Father,” Lily interrupted with a cold smile, her voice firm. “I’m talking here. I’d like to go home too, but before that, we need to clear a few things. If we don’t, I might have to take this matter public. And trust me, Father, you wouldn’t want that, would you?” 

Morgan’s expression darkened, and a shiver of unease ran through him. Was that a threat? This girl dared to threaten him? 

Without giving him a chance to respond, Lily turned back to Rose. “Now, as I was saying, dear little sister- 

“Lily!” Morgan’s voice thundered as he snapped, “Is this how you speak to your father?” 

Lily’s calm demeanor cracked slightly as she let out an irritated huff. Turning her piercing gaze to her father, she retorted, “When I’m speaking to Rose, no one interrupts me. Is that understood, Mr. Miller?” 

“How dare you speak to your father like that!” Casey exclaimed, her voice rising in anger. 

Lily sighed dramatically, pressing her hand to her forehead as if warding off a headache. “Tsk, tsk, Mrs. Miller. Are you hard of hearing? Didn’t I just say no interruptions? Or do you need me to put it in writing for you?” 

“You-!” Casey’s face flushed with fury, but words failed her. 

Turning to the room at large, Lily’s lips curled into a sardonic smile. “Honestly, I’ve always known that everyone in this family lacks a certain… intelligence. And I truly believe it–you don’t need to keep proving me right. But for once, try to use what little brains you have and stay quiet.” 

Everyone except Taylor was stunned into silence, their faces a mix of shock and disbelief. What was happening? Had Lily completely lost her mind?
