The tension in the room was palpable, an icy chill settling over everyone. Taylor stood tall, his sharp gaze fixed on Morgan like a predator watching its prey. His posture was rigid, his fists clenched, prepared to act if 

necessary. 

From the start, he knew this confrontation was inevitable. Morgan’s true nature was bound to reveal itself. Yet, seeing the man bare his malice so blatantly still sent a wave of anger coursing through him. Today wasn’t just about settling scores; it was about protecting his sister. And Taylor had vowed that no harm would come to her, no matter what. 

Morgan, meanwhile, was expecting an outburst from Lily–anger, shouting, perhaps even tears. He could sense the dangerous energy radiating from her, but her expression was not what he anticipated. Instead of rage, she wore a smile. It wasn’t warm or kind–it was the smile of someone who held all the cards, someone who saw her opponent as beneath her. 

Her calm unnerved him. What was she playing at? 

“Confused, Mr. Morgan?” Lily’s smirk widened, her voice dripping with mockery. “Were you hoping I’d lose my temper? That I’d yell and scream like a helpless little girl?” 

She stepped forward, her tone turning sharper. “Oh, I’m sorry to disappoint you. But I’m not the person you thought I was anymore. You’re right about one thing, though–I don’t know who my parents are. Not yet. But don’t get too comfortable, Mr. Morgan.” 

Her smile turned cold, almost predatory. “You see, my husband is a powerful man. With his resources and connections, it’s only a matter of time before I find them. And when I do.” She let her words hang in the air, her gaze piercing through him like a blade. 

Morgan snorted dismissively, rolling his eyes in feigned indifference. But the subtle twitch in his jaw betrayed his uncase. He hadn’t planned for this. He had always assumed his scheme would work flawlessly, that Lily would remain under his control until she outlived her usefulness. 

“My, my,” Lily mocked, tilting her head slightly. “You’re awfully confident for someone standing on a crumbling foundation. Did you never stop to think about what will happen when my real parents discover what you’ve done? Imagine the fury of a family that’s been searching for their daughter, only to learn she was stolen and used like a pawn by you.” 

Her words hit their mark. For the briefest moment, Morgan’s composure faltered. 

But he recovered quickly, narrowing his eyes at her. “You talk big, but you’ll never find them,” he sneered. His tone dripped with arrogance. “Do you want to know why? Because I wasn’t the one who took you from your parents. Someone else did. I merely found you at the orphanage gate. Your only connection to them is through me. And, my dear, I’m afraid I have no intention of helping you.” 

His sinister grin spread across his face, his confidence seemingly restored, 

Lily raised an eyebrow, unfazed. “So, this is your trump card? That you’re the only one who knows the truth? How amusing,” she said with a chuckle. “Do you really think that’ll stop me? You underestimate the lengths I’ll go to uncover the truth.” 

Her smile vanished, replaced by a steely determination. “So, tell me, Mr. Morgan–are you challenging me?” 

Morgan’s smirk faltered just slightly as her unwavering resolve bore down on him. For the first time, a sliver of doubt crept into his mind.

Morgan chuckled, nodding his head confidently. “Of course, my dear. I’m challenging you! You claim your husband is powerful, right? Well, go ahead and find your parents. Let’s see if you’re capable of doing that.” 

Lily’s lips curled into a knowing smirk. “Oh, don’t worry, Mr. Morgan. You’ll see soon enough. But let me remind you of one thing–when I do find them, I’m not sure what they’ll do to you, But as for me…” She paused, letting her words hang in the air like a storm cloud about to burst. “I’ll make sure you regret every decision that led to this moment.” 

Her gaze swept across the room, taking in their pale and stricken faces. She smiled coldly. “Everything you’ve built on my back–your company, your so–called reputation, Rose’s acting career–it will all crumble to dust. You’ll be left with nothing. Mr. Morgan. Nothing.” 

Morgan feigned a shiver, his mockery evident. “Oh, I’m terrified,” he said with a theatrical laugh. “You think. you can destroy me? That’s a pipe dream, my dear. You don’t have any proof. Without evidence, you’re powerless against me,” 

Lily scoffed, glancing at the gathered faces, her contempt unmistakable. “We’ll see about that. Oh, and ler me make one thing crystal clear–from this moment on, I have no ties to the Miler family. As far as I’m concerned, you’re nothing more than enemies. 

Without waiting for their reaction, she turned on her heel and strode toward the door. But just before stepping out, she paused and looked back, her laughter ringing through the tense silence. 

“Oh, one more thing, Ryan,” she said, her tone dripping with disdain. “You’d better savor your sleep tonight. Tomorrow morning, things won’t be quite so pleasant for you.” 

She waved lightly and blew a mocking kiss to the room. “Goodnight, everyone.” With that, she walked out, leaving the Miler family drowning in their thoughts and fears. 

As she disappeared down the hallway, Taylor quietly slipped out of the room and caught up with her. “Elder Sister,” he called out softly. 

“Hm?” She turned to him with a raised brow. 

“That was incredible!” he said, his excitement bubbling over. “You were absolutely brilliant in there. But I have one question…” 

“What is it?” she asked curiously. 

“Why didn’t you bring Brother–in–law? If they had seen him, it would’ve been the perfect finishing blow, right?” He hesitated, unsure if he was overstepping. 

Lily chuckled, shaking her head. “Oh, Taylor, you’re right–it would’ve been spectacular. But if Ethan were here, everything would have been over in an instant. And where’s the fun in that?” Her eyes sparkled with mischief. “They used me for years, Taylor. I want to drag this out, to make them feel every ounce of pain and regret. Let them squirm while I take them apart piece by piece.” 

Taylor laughed, nodding in agreement. “You’re truly something else, Elder Sister.”
