Chapter 99

• 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.
