Everything had been going smoothly for Lilian. Her brothers had taken charge of all the party preparations, leaving her with only one job: to rest at home. Though she felt restless, wanting to contribute, they were adamant. “Just relax, Lilian,” they insisted. “You’ve been working too hard. Let us handle this.”With no choice but to follow their instructions, Lilian spent her time reading, watching TV, and trying to enjoy the rare chance to slow down. It wasn’t easy for her, though. She loved being hands-on, and sitting idle felt unnatural.That morning, as the sunlight streamed through the curtains, Lilian walked into the living room. The house was quiet except for the faint rustle of leaves outside. She immediately noticed her dad sitting on the couch, a cup of coffee in his hand, his face relaxed and thoughtful.“Good morning, Dad,” Lilian greeted, her voice light and cheerful. A smile spread across her face as she stepped closer.Her dad looked up at her, his expression softening.

Lilian opened the backseat door for Matt, gesturing for him to hop into the car. As he climbed in, his eyes widened in surprise the moment they landed on his grandpa sitting in the front seat.“Grandpa!” he exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement. His face immediately broke into a big smile.“Yes, it’s me,” Grandpa replied, turning slightly in his seat to look at Matt. “Are you happy to see me?”Matt nodded enthusiastically, his head bobbing up and down. “Yes, yes!” he said repeatedly, his grin stretching from ear to ear.Lilian couldn’t help but smile at their exchange as she closed the door for Matt. She then made her way to the passenger side, opened the door, and slipped into the seat next to her dad.Her father started the car, a contented smile lingering on his face as he glanced in the rearview mirror at Matt. The car smoothly rolled away from the school parking lot, leaving behind the afternoon buzz of children and parents.“So, young man,” Grandpa said as he adjusted the

Lilian sat comfortably on the couch in the living room, scrolling through her phone with a relaxed expression. The house was peaceful, the soft hum of the air conditioner blending with the quiet sounds of the afternoon. It was one of those rare moments when everything seemed to be in place. Her mind wandered briefly to the events of the day, but the tranquility was broken when she heard the familiar sound of footsteps.It was Matt, her young son, bounding into the room with the energy that only a child could muster. His face was lit with excitement, a wide grin spreading across his features.Lilian raised an eyebrow as she saw him approaching. “You’re done with your school assignment?” she asked, her tone a mix of curiosity and playful suspicion.Matt nodded confidently, his chest puffed out slightly as if he had just accomplished something monumental. “Yes, I’m done,” he said, a smug smile creeping across his face.Lilian couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his display but didn’t hide

Matt held his grandpa’s hand tightly as they strolled through the garden, the sunlight filtering through the trees and casting soft patterns on the ground. Grandpa walked with a steady, deliberate pace, his cane tapping rhythmically against the stone path.As they approached a shaded area with a circle of chairs, a group of elderly men, all Grandpa’s friends, were already seated, chatting animatedly. Their conversations quieted when they noticed Grandpa arriving.The men lit up at the sight of him, their faces brightening with smiles. One of them, a stern-looking man with a surprisingly warm grin, stood up first.“You’re finally here!” he exclaimed, his tone laced with both humor and affection.“Yes, I’m here,” Grandpa replied with a slight nod, his voice calm but laced with authority.“Come, let’s sit down and enjoy ourselves,” the man said, gesturing toward the empty chairs. He led Grandpa to a comfortable spot, and Matt followed closely, sitting down beside his grandfather.As they

Silas glanced at Matt, who sat quietly among the group of chatting adults. “Young man,” he said kindly, “are you not bored sitting here with us old folks? Why don’t you go inside and play with the other kids? They’re just in the living room.”Matt shook his head politely, but before he could respond, Gabriel patted his hand and spoke gently. “You can go, Matt. It’s okay.”Matt hesitated briefly, then nodded. Rising from his seat, he walked toward the house.Inside, the living room buzzed with energy. A group of children laughed and played together, their voices blending into a happy cacophony. When Matt entered, the lively chatter stopped, and all eyes turned toward him. The kids froze in curiosity, their movements halting as they took in the unfamiliar face.They stared at Matt, their expressions ranging from curiosity to cautious interest. It was clear this was their first time meeting him. Despite the attention, Matt remained calm, his face betraying no emotion. Without a word, he

Matt stood up immediately when he heard Silas’s voice calling him from the doorway. Aria, still sitting beside him, looked up with wide, curious eyes.“Your name is Matt?” she asked, tilting her head in surprise.Matt nodded silently, avoiding speaking. He didn’t want to break the illusion of their quiet connection or make her feel uncomfortable around him.Aria blinked, then smiled brightly. “I’ll remember your name,” she said, her tone full of promise.Matt hesitated for a moment, giving her one last glance. There was something warm and genuine about the way she spoke that made it difficult for him to leave. But without a word, he turned and walked toward Silas, who stood waiting for him with an expectant smile.“Where have you been, young man?” Silas asked cheerfully. “Did you enjoy your time here?” He leaned down slightly, looking at Matt as if trying to gauge his mood.Silas reached out, intending to take Matt’s hand, but Matt instinctively stepped back, maintaining his polite di

“That’s good! Do you want to go again next time?” Lilian asked Matt, leaning closer to catch his reaction. Her face lit up with anticipation as she awaited his answer. This was the first time her son had openly expressed enjoying the company of other children, and it was a moment she wanted to savor.“Yes!” Matt exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with joy.Lilian’s heart swelled with happiness. It wasn’t always easy to get Matt to engage with others, and hearing him so excited about his day felt like a small victory. She pulled him into a gentle hug and kissed the top of his head.“I’m so glad you had fun, sweetheart. We can go back anytime you want,” she said warmly, her voice soft and reassuring.Matt nodded eagerly, his face beaming.“Are you hungry? I’ll make dinner for you,” Lilian added, brushing his hair back from his forehead.“Okay, Mom,” he replied, his voice carrying a hint of eagerness.Lilian helped him lie down on the couch, fluffing a pillow under his head to make him more c

Lily looked at her mother when she heard the comment but chose not to say anything. She had grown used to Sarah’s habit of boasting, especially in front of others, but now wasn’t the time to address it. Her mother’s overconfidence often embarrassed her, but causing a scene during the family introduction would only make things worse.“Oh, that’s okay,” Mrs. Thompson said, her smile polite yet forced. Deep down, she couldn’t help but feel slightly offended. It didn’t make much sense to her that the bride’s father couldn’t make it to such an important occasion. Everyone else in the room had responsibilities too, but they made the effort to be present.What could be so urgent that he couldn’t spare a few hours? she wondered silently. Still, she was skilled at hiding her emotions and kept her composure for the sake of maintaining a pleasant atmosphere.“Please, have a seat,” Mrs. Thompson said, gesturing toward the chairs with a welcoming smile.“Thank you,” Sarah replied, matching her smi

Marcus said nothing.His grandfather observed him carefully before speaking again. “Your mother told me the other day that it’s Lily you love. Is that true?”Marcus met his grandfather’s gaze but did not answer the question directly. “I will find a way to solve the problems,” he said, his voice steady but distant. Then, without another word, he stood up, bowed his head slightly as a sign of respect, and walked out of the house.Grandpa Thompson didn’t stop him. Instead, he turned to Isabella, his eyes weary. “You can leave too,” he said, his tone quiet yet firm.Isabella hesitated for a moment, watching as her father closed his eyes. She could tell he was exhausted—not just physically, but emotionally. Whenever he closed his eyes like that, it meant he didn’t want to be disturbed.She let out a small sigh and stood up, leaving the room without another word.Marcus drove aimlessly for what felt like hours, his thoughts a whirlwind of emotions he wasn’t ready to face. His hands gripped

“This will be the last warning.”Marcus frowned as he read the message on his phone, his fingers gripping the device tightly.A sense of foreboding settled in his chest as he tapped on the image attached to the message. The moment the photo loaded, his expression darkened. His jaw clenched. He immediately understood the warning.Shaking his head, he scrolled down, reading through the harsh comments under the news article. The story was about Lilian, and the comment section was flooded with insults, gossip, and outright lies. People were tearing her apart, dragging her reputation through the mud.Marcus exhaled sharply.He already had a strong suspicion about who was behind this.Lily.But he had no idea just how far she was willing to go.His fingers hovered over the screen before he forwarded the message to Lily. He didn’t add any words—just a single question mark.Barely a second later, his phone rang.He glanced at the screen. Lily.Marcus answered, pressing the phone to his ear.“

Noah raised an eyebrow, clearly puzzled by the situation unfolding before him.Moses, unfazed, shrugged his shoulders. He glanced at the email address once again, but there was nothing. The address was null—completely untraceable. Frustrated, Moses looked up at Franklin, his expression turning more serious. “Can you find the person’s email address? If we could find a way to become friends with them, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. We could use that to our advantage,” Moses suggested, his voice calm but with an edge of determination.Franklin shook his head, the frustration evident in his own voice. “No, it’s impossible. The person used a one-time email address. It’s designed to disappear once it’s been used. No way to track it,” he explained, his tone apologetic but firm.Moses furrowed his brow at the news. “But how did they know we’d need this information?” he muttered, more to himself than anyone else. “Who is this person? Why are they so involved in all this?” His mind was racing wit

Matt walked into his room and closed the door behind him. His small face was scrunched in frustration, and his lips were pressed into a thin line.He sat down at his desk, turned on his computer, and quickly logged in.Something felt off.He had sensed it the moment he left the living room.And now, curiosity burned inside him like an itch he needed to scratch.He opened his browser and went straight to the internet to see what was happening.He didn’t even have to search for long.His mother’s name was plastered all over the headlines.Matt’s heart dropped.With slightly shaky fingers, he clicked on one of the trending articles.As soon as the page loaded, his eyes skimmed over the comments section.It was full of hatred.“She’s beautiful, but she has such a wicked heart.”“Right? I heard she changed the wedding hall at the last minute just to ruin Lily’s big day.”“I think she’s just jealous that Lily was going to marry a handsome man like Marcus.”“Exactly! Women like her are t

Lilian had no idea about the chaos unfolding online.She hadn’t checked the internet all day.She wasn’t aware that her name was trending, nor did she know that thousands of people were discussing her, analyzing her face, comparing her to Lily, and debating her identity.She simply didn’t care.Her life had changed so drastically in such a short time that she barely had the energy to focus on anything outside her immediate world.At this moment, all she wanted was some peace.She walked into the spacious, elegantly furnished living room, where her brothers and father were seated. The large crystal chandelier cast a soft, golden glow over the room, making everything feel warm and inviting.Yet, despite the comfortable atmosphere, there was a strange tension in the air.Something felt off.Lilian smiled brightly when she saw them. “I’m back,” she said in a cheerful tone.Noah, who had been leaning lazily against the couch, immediately perked up.“Welcome back,” he greeted. Then, with a

The way she carried herself with elegance and confidence left people in awe.Comments poured in from every direction:“Wow. She’s stunning!”“Right? But… she looks so familiar.”“Honestly! I feel like I’ve seen her before.”“Wait a second—wasn’t she just a nobody? And now she’s the heiress of the Gabriels?”Speculation spread like wildfire. People dug into her past, trying to uncover details about the mysterious woman who had suddenly become one of the most powerful figures in the city.Lily’s Growing JealousyMeanwhile, in the quiet yet tense atmosphere of the Wilson family’s luxurious living room, Lily sat stiffly on the couch, her eyes locked on the television screen.

The news was everywhere.Social media, online blogs, and even major news outlets were flooded with headlines about the latest scandal. Two names dominated the trending list—Lily and Lilian. However, while one was trending for something positive, the other was at the center of sheer humiliation.Lily’s disastrous wedding had become the biggest topic of discussion.The headlines were brutal.“Abandoned at the Altar: Lily’s Wedding Disaster!”“The Thompsons Humiliate Bride—No Groom, No Family!”“A Wedding Without a Groom? What Really Happened?”The comments under the articles and posts were relentless, with thousands of people expressing shock, sympathy, and speculation.“She really got abandoned?” one user wrote in disbelief.“I thought the Thompsons were a responsible family?” another replied.“Exactly! Why did they treat her like that? Poor girl.”“She was engaged to the CEO for more than five years. And then, on the day of her wedding, her groom didn’t show up. Not him, not his famil

The following week, Lilian did not go to the company for a while. She needed time to process everything that had happened—the sudden change in her position, the realization that she was now in charge, and the responsibility that came with it. For days, she stayed home, contemplating whether she was truly ready to take on this role.Eventually, she knew she couldn’t delay it any longer. Monday morning arrived, and she made the decision to resume work.Unlike before, when she used to enter the building as an ordinary employee, today felt different. The moment she stepped out of the car and walked toward the entrance, there was an unfamiliar weight on her shoulders. Everything about this moment felt significant. She wasn’t just an assistant anymore—she was now the CEO.Moses walked beside her, just like he always had, but this time, their positions had officially switched. The once-powerful CEO was now her assistant. It was a strange and amusing turn of events, but Lilian knew he had no

Gabriel smiled with satisfaction as he observed his children. They were all making him proud, each excelling in their own way. Tonight had been a significant moment, and he couldn’t have been happier with how things had turned out.As he sat at the table, a group of CEOs approached him, their eyes gleaming with admiration and curiosity. One of them, a well-dressed man in his fifties, extended his hand in greeting.“Mr. Gabriel, it’s a pleasure to see you,” he said. “When did you return to the country? I didn’t hear any news about your arrival.” His tone carried genuine surprise.Gabriel shook his hand with a polite smile. “It has been about a week or two now,” he replied, his voice calm and composed.Another CEO, an older gentleman with silver-streaked hair, leaned in slightly, his gaze shifting to Lilian. He smiled in admiration. “You have a beautiful daughter, Mr. Gabriel,” he remarked. Then, with a chuckle, he added, “Is she single? How about arranging a blind date between her and
