Lily was slightly taken aback, her eyebrows raising in curiosity as she asked, “How did you figure that out?”

Mia chuckled, teasingly pointing out, “Well, someone's been smiling and blushing a lot... It’s not hard to

tell!”

“Really?” Lily thought, instinctively touching her cheeks. Noticing her reaction, Mia burst into laughter. “Lily, you

seem much more vibrant today. It's like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders!”

With a small smile, Lily nodded. “Sister Mia, you're absolutely right. | feel so free, like a heavy burden has finally

been taken away. Honestly, | never imagined I'd feel this way... | think I've fallen in love.”

“Of course, | was right!” Mia said proudly, flashing a triumphant smile. “But tell me, how did you confess to

him?”

Lily shook her head. “I didn’t.”

“What?!” Mia exclaimed, puzzled. “Why not? What are you waiting for?”

“Sister Mia, Ethan has done so much for me-more than | could ever ask for-without expecting anything in return

except love. So, | want my confession to be truly special, something unforgettable for him.”

Intrigued, Mia leaned in closer. “Alright, so what's your plan?”

Lily hesitated, frowning slightly. “I haven't figured it out yet. But don’t worry, I'll cup with something

meaningful.”

After spending another hour chatting and brainstorming, the two headed off to the shooting location. Lily was

brimming with excitement for two reasons: one, she couldn't wait to see the expression on a certain someone's

face, and two, her big scene for the day.

When their car arrived at the set, the area was buzzing with reporters and paparazzi. As Lily and Mia stepped out

of the car, Ethan's bodyguards formed a protective barrier around them. The moment the reporters spotted Lily,

they rushed forward, bombarding her with questions.

“Miss Lily, what's the current status between the Miller Family and the Quinn Family?” one shouted.

“Is the engagement still happening?” another asked loudly.

“What's your opinion on the situation?” a third chimed in.

Hearing their clamorous questions, Lily paused and turned to face the crowd. With a calm, confident smile, she

addressed them. “Hello, everyone. | know many of you are curious about the engagement and the relationship

between the Miller and Quinn families. Letclarify-my younger sister is deeply in love with Ryan, and the

engagement is proceeding as planned. A small issue won't disrupt the bond between our families. Thank you.”

Her poised demeanor and radiant smile left the reporters momentarily stunned. As soon as she finished

speaking, their cameras clicked furiously, capturing her every expression. Before they could ask any further

questions, Lily turned and walked away with grace.

Once inside the set, she was quickly ushered to review the script while the props team prepared for the next

scene. Sitting in a quiet corner, Lily focused on her lines, while Mia busied herself with phone calls nearby.

Ryan approaching. Their cold glares spoke volumes. However, instead of reacting, Lily’s lips curled into a sly,

mocking smile as she met their eyes, unbothered by their presence.

Lily rose gracefully from her chair as soon as Rose and Ryan approached, their expressions dark with anger.

Instead of mirroring their hostility, she greeted them with a bright, cheerful smile. “Oh, my dear little sister,” she

said, her tone dripping with false sweetness.

Mia also stood, matching Lily’s energy as she clapped her hands lightly. “Congratulations on your engagement,

Rose,” she said with a smirk, her words laced with subtle mockery.

Rose's face twisted in fury, her teeth clenched so tightly that it seemed as if she might break them. “You witch!”

she hissed through gritted teeth.

Her anger had been simmering since earlier that day. Arriving at the set with Ryan, she had been greeted with

hollow congratulations. But worse were the whispers-people gossiping about her relationship and casting

judgment. It was all because of Lily. That smug smile on her face now only added fuel to the fire.

Lily raised a finger to her lips, shushing her tically. “Calm down, little sister. This isn’t the Miller mansion

where you can throw tantrums. We're out in public, and there are plenty of people here who don’t know about

your family’s dirty secrets. Do you really want to cause a scene?”

Her words were sharp, cutting like a knife through Rose’s composure. Before she could respond, Lily continued,

her voice laced with sarcasm. “You know, I've always said you're a fake beauty with very little common sense.

But letgive you sadvice, as your elder sister. When you're out in public, don’t scream like a banshee.

It’s embarrassing. For appearances’ sake, you should showrespect and maybe even smile a little.”

Lily tilted her head, her smirk deepening. “After all, people are watching. Unless, of course, you'd like them to

find out about your ‘truth. In that case, go ahead-shout all you want.”

Mia let out a chuckle, thoroughly enjoying the exchange. Meanwhile, Rose's and Ryan's faces burned with

humiliation and rage.

“Lily, that's enough!” Ryan snapped, his voice trembling with suppressed anger. “You can't talk to my fiancée like

that!”

Lily raised an eyebrow, her smirk unfaltering. “Oh, really? And what are you going to do about it?”

“That's none of your business,” Ryan retorted, his glare hardening.

Before he could say more, Mia burst out laughing, her voice echoing in the tense air. “Oh, con, Mr. Ryan.

Let’s not pretend. Everyone knows why you're here. Did you forget you're jobless now? Maybe you're hoping to

break into the entertainment industry. Should we help you get an audition?”

Lily caught on to Mia's jab and nodded in mock sympathy. “Ah, | see it now. Poor Ryan, once the mighty CEO,

now reduced to being his fiancée’s assistant. How tragic!” She let out a tic sigh before adding, “Honestly, |

thought you'd be scrambling to save your company. But look at you-following Rose around like a loyal little

puppy. How pitiful!”

Her laughter rang out, light and unbothered, while Ryan and Rose stood frozen, their faces cycling through

shades of red and green in anger and embarrassment.

Deep down, they knew Lily’s words weren't entirely wrong. As much as they wanted to lash out, they couldn't

risk exposing their precarious position to the world. For now, all they could do was swallow their pride, grit their

teeth, and force fake smiles onto their faces, pretending as though nothing was amiss.
