Taylor stood awkwardly, feeling like an intruder as he watched the affectionate couple in front of him. His elder

sister, Lily, was being swept off her feet-quite literally-by her husband, Ethan. A mix of awe and embarrassment

filled him as he quickly averted his gaze.

This was his first tseeing the man who was both revered and feared in the business world. Ethan, the

formidable “Devil King of the corporate realin, was now his brother-in-law. The realization sent a wave of

excitement through Taylor, but he tried his best to stay composed.

Two minutes passed.....

Steeling his nerves, Taylor decided to glance back at them, only to be utterly shocked-they were still kissing. His

jaw dropped. If anyone else were around, this would have been front-page news by morning. Desperate to break

the awkwardness, he cleared his throat and let out a small, intentional cough.

Still, he was ignored.

Finally, as the couple pulled apart, seemingly out of breath, Taylor let out a sigh of relief. At least the public

display of affection had ended.

“Elder Sister...” he called out hesitantly, his voice breaking the momentary silence.

Lily turned, her face instantly flushing a deep shade of red. Only then did she realize they hadn't been alone the

entire time. Embarrassed, she quickly composed herself, clearing her throat. “Ethan, this is Taylor,” she said,

motioning toward her brother. “Taylor, meet Ethan.”

“Hello, Brother-in-law,” Taylor greeted nervously, his voice betraying his awe.

-Ethan turned his piercing gaze toward him and replied curtly, “Hello.”

The one-word response was enough to make Taylor's nerves spiral out of control. He stood there, fumbling for

words, before finally blurting out, “Elder Sister, | should get going.”

Lily smiled warmly. “Alright. Take care, Taylor.”

“Goodnight, Elder Sister. Goodnight, Brother-in-law,” Taylor stammered, eager to make his escape. He turned,

ready to bolt, when Ethan's voice stopped him in his tracks.

“Taylor...”

Turning back cautiously, he responded, “Yes, Brother-in-law?”

Ethan wrapped an arm protectively around Lily's waist, his expression softening just slightly. “Thank you,” he

said, his voice sincere. “Thank you for looking out for her all these years.”

Taylor stood frozen, unable to believe what he had just heard. The great Ethan had not only acknowledged him

but also expressed gratitude? And smiled?

For a moment, he questioned if he was dreaming. Only when he saw Ethan's car driving away with his sister

safely inside did reality sink in. A wide grin spread across Taylor's face as he pinched himself to confirm it was

real.

He chuckled softly, walking back toward the hotel. “Ethan thanked me,” he muttered to himself, his excitement

bubbling over. “He actually smiled at me!”

Feeling a renewed sense of satisfaction, Taylor decided to sneak back into the Miler family’s room. He couldn't

resist the urge to see their reactions after the night's events,

When he entered the room unnoticed, the atmosphere was heavy with tension. A heated discussion was

underway, and no one paid attention to him slipping into a corner.

Rose’s voice broke through the thick silence, filled with guilt and desperation. “Dad, I'm so sorry. This is all my

fault,” she cried, her hands trembling. “Everything that happened tonight...it's because of me. | ruined

everything. | didn’t mean to mess up your plan. | didn’t think things would turn out this way.

Taylor leaned against the wall, a satished smirk playing on his lips as he watched the scene unfold. The mighty

Miler family, reduced to fear and chaos-it was a sight he wouldn't forget anytsoon.

Taylor leaned against the wall, stifling a laugh. “The show’s over, and she’s still playing the victim,” he muttered

to himself, rolling his eyes at Rose’s tic display.

Morgan let out a heavy sigh. “Rose, my dear, this isn’t your fault. Lily had everything planned from the start. She

knew far more than we realized.”

“But Uncle,” Ryan interjected, his brow furrowed, “if Lily knew all this, why did she stay silent until now? Why

wait?”

Rose, still visibly shaken, added, “Exactly, Dad. If she’s known all along, she must have been waiting for the right

moment. She's been acting differently these past few weeks. Are you absolutely sure she hasn't found her

parents? What if-”

“No!” Morgan interrupted sharply, shaking his head. “That's impossible. No matter what she does, she can’t. find

them.”

Ryan's suspicion deepened. “How can you be so certain, Uncle?”

Morgan met his gaze and chuckled, though the sound lacked warmth. “You don’t need to concern yourself with

that. Focus on your work. You'll need to manage without Lily’s contributions from now on.”

“Got it, Dad,” Ryan replied with a shrug, though inwardly, he knew he needed to tread carefully. It was clear

Morgan's guard was up, and he couldn't afford to make a mistake.

Casey approached her husband, placing a hand on his shoulder. “Morgan, what's our next move? We can’t just

sit and wait for her to strike again.”

Morgan squared his shoulders, his expression hardening. “First, none of you should show any fear when dealing

with Lily. She has no solid proof against us yet, so she can’t take any action-for now. Rose,” he said. turning to

his daughter, “you need to avoid her as much as possible. Don’t give her any opportunities to use you against

net

Addressing the room, he continued, “All of you need to stay alert. Don't let your guard down, and don’t do

anything that could play into her hands. The battle has started, and we need to make sure we're not the ones

losing in the end.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Casey hesitated before speaking again. “Do you think she was telling the truth about her husband? Could he

really be as powerful as she claims?”

“I believe she was being honest,” Morgan replied thoughtfully. “She’s not acting alone-someone is supporting

her, and it’s likely her husband. We need to find out who this man is.” He rubbed his temples, the

weight of the situation pressing down on him.

“Don’t worry, Uncle. Ill have my detective look into it,” Ryan said, his voice laced with determination. His pride

had been wounded, and he wasn’t about to let Lily get away with challenging him. “We'll find out exactly who

this so-called husband of hers is”

Rose clung to Ryan’s arm, a sly smile on her face. “Don’t stress, Ryan. She won't be able to touch you.”

Ryan smiled back, pressing a light kiss to her forehead. “I know”

Morgan, observing the exchange, narrowed his eyes. “On that note, it’s tto move forward with your

engagement. After what happened today, it’s better if we solidify this alliance as soon as possible.”

“Really, Dad?” Rose gasped, her excitement bubbling over. She turned to Ryan, eyes sparkling “What do you

think. Ryan?”

“I think it’s an excellent idea,” he replied with a smirk. “If we announce our engagement tomorrow, it might give

us the

upper hand over Lily and whatever she’s plotting.”

Rose squealed with delight, throwing her arms around him. “I love you so much, Ryan!”

In the corner, Taylor smirked silently, shaking his head. Let's see if you'll still be celebrating tomorrow, Ryan.

Let's see if those tears will be of joy or regret.
