“Four? That's impossible, Uncle! Everyone knows there are only three prestigious families-the Ethans, the Tangs,
and the Lins,” Ryan said, his voice filled with disbelief.
Morgan leaned back, his expression shadowed with secrets. “There’s another one-the Longs,” he revealed, his
tone carrying an air of finality.
“The Longs?” Ryan repeated, confusion evident in his eyes.
“Dad, who are the Longs?” Rose chimed in, her curiosity piqued. “If they're one of the prestigious families, why
doesn’t anyone know about them? And what's the connection between Lily and these families?”
Morgan sighed deeply, hesitating for a moment before answering. “I can’t tell you everything. The less you
know, the better it is for you. What you must understand is this-Lily is the daughter of one of these prestigious
families.”
“Which one is it?” Rose asked, her voice trembling. “The Ethans? The Lins? The Tangs? Or... is it the Longs?”
“That's irrelevant,” Morgan said dismissively. “I took her in for a reason, and you've ruined everything today. She
was supposed to be our golden opportunity, but now...”
“I'm sorry, Dad,” Rose murmured, guilt weighing down her voice. “But | still don’t understand. If she belongs to
such a powerful family, why did they abandon her at an orphanage?”
Morgan shrugged, his expression unreadable. “I don’t have the answer to that. Years ago, | happened to see a
man leaving a baby at the orphanage’s doorstep. He mentioned something about her identity, though I couldn't
catch much. After he left, | brought her home.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Who was that man, Dad?” Rose pressed.
“I never saw his face,” he admitted. “He was wearing a mask, so | couldn't identify him. But one thing is certain-
he wasn’t her father. That much | know.”
“Not her father?” Rose echoed, trying to piece together the puzzle. If he wasn’t her father, then who was he?
And why would someone leave an infant at an orphanage like that? Could it have been an act of revenge against
her real parents?
And what about her lineage? Was she connected to the elusive Longs?
Rose's thoughts spiraled as jealousy began to creep in. Why her? Why does it have to be her? If Lily discovers
her true heritage, she'll outshinein every way. | can’t let that happen. I'm the one who deserves to carry the
legacy of a prestigious family, not her.
Her musings were interrupted by Ryan's voice. “But Uncle, what about the Longs? Why hasn't anyone heard
of them?”
Morgan glanced at him, his gaze serious. “The Longs were shrouded in mystery even in their prime. Something
happened years ago-something big-and they vanished without a trace, almost overnight. Since then, no one
dares to speak about them. It's as if they were erased from history.”
Hearing Mr. Morgan's words, Ryan sank into deep thought. Lily... your background is far more fascinating than |
imagined. You've captivated my interest even more. It seems I'll have to make you mine sooner or
later.

today. Let Lily do whatever she wants. Your only role is to be a good younger sister to her. Can you manage
that?”
“But Dad-"
“No buts, Rose,” Morgan interrupted, his tone firm. “Here's the truth-I planned to use her talents to benefit us.
Then, after a few years, we'd make her disappear, and you'd take her place.” A sly, sinister smile spread across
his face.
Rose's eyes widened in shock. “W-what do you mean, Dad? Are you saying we're going to... to kill her?” Her
voice trembled, disbelief etched on her face.
“Rose, my dear,” her mother, Casey, interjected calmly, “if you want to step into her place and becthe
daughter of that family, Lily has to be removed from the picture. It's the only way forward.”
“And what's the plan, then?” Ryan asked, intrigued.
Morgan leaned back in his chair, his expression cold and calculated. “Her real parents must still be searching for
her. When the tis right, we'll introduce Rose as their long-lost daughter. Once she’s accepted, everything
else will fall into place. With Rose's position secured, we'll gain the wealth, status, and influence we've always
desired. That's the plan.”
Rose stared at her father, stunned by the audacity of his scheme. But as the idea sank in, a twisted sense of
excitement replaced her shock. This plan is genius, she thought. Becoming the daughter of such a prestigious
family... my life will be perfect. People will admire me, envy me, and bow down wherever | go.
Casey noticed the subtle smile forming on her daughter's lips. “Do you see now what your father has been
working toward?” she asked.
Rose nodded slowly. “I understand. But Dad, isn’t this too risky? What if they don’t believe us? What if they
demand a DNA test or something? It could expose us.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMorgan chuckled softly. “Rose, do you really think I'd leave such details to chance? I've been preparing for this
since the day you were born. | have a trusted contact who can handle that part. You don’t need to worry about
anything.”
Relieved, Rose nodded again. “I see. | trust you, Dad. I'll play my role and treat Lily... nicely.”
Morgan's lips curled into a satisfied smile. “That's my good daughter. Stay patient, and everything will work out
as planned.”
Ryan, who had been silently observing the conversation, smirked to himself. This old man is cunning, no doubt.
Every single detail has been accounted for. Marrying Rose might not be such a bad idea after all. But no one can
stopfrom having Lily too.
As Morgan's gaze shifted to Ryan, he added, “The plan will be set into motion after your marriage to Rose.”
Ryan’s smirk deepened. What a brilliant scheme. This family truly knows how to play the game.
Meanwhile, Rose's thoughts drifted back to Lily. Sorry, Dad, but | lied. | can never treat that girl nicely. The first
thing | need to do is get her out of my film-immediately.
