"Your sister seems to have a strong aversion to the Morris family, " Gerard commented slowly." Otherwise, why would she be so cold towards Absolon?"
"Being indifferent doesn't necessarily mean dislike, " Lilah replied." Maybe she just doesn't want to burden our father. She has her reasons."
"Would you like to know what secrets she's holding?" Gerard suddenly asked, his tone mysterious.
Lilah paused, then asked urgently, "What? Did you find something?"
Though curious, she thought that if Miranda didn't want her to know, there was no need to pry.
"I have found some things, but you need to be prepared, Gerard warned. Lilah's brow furrowed.
"Is it something good or bad?"
"Your sister might seem cool and untouchable, but she's actually a romantic idealist, Gerard said, sounding a bit resigned.
Lilah frowned deeply. How could that be?
"Explain yourself, " she demanded.
Gerard handed her a stack of documents. She quickly glanced at them, disregarding any concerns about invading Miranda's privacy.
She thought if it could help Miranda, it was worth it.
However, the photos and evidence infuriated her.
The investigation revealed that Miranda had been in a long-term relationship with a nobleman from Starvale's Kuskeonga, a Chinese descendant named Cason.
This man was handsome and capable, currently the CEO of his own company, controlling a large portion of Xylo's diamond business.
Yet, he didn't seem to care much for her. Over their three-year relationship, Cason had cheated twice, and the Sanderson family had frequently humiliated Miranda in public.
Despite suffering greatly, Miranda never gave up.
The last incident where Miranda was persecuted at the border was orchestrated by the Sanderson family, who disapproved of her relationship with Cason.
"This is outrageous! For such a worthless man, she nearly lost her life!" Lilah was so angry she could hardly stand it and wished she could shake some sense into Miranda.
"The worst part is, " Gerard sighed, "Cason has arrived in Eleywood, likely because of your sister."
Lilah stood up abruptly.
"That jerk dares to show up? Fine, I'll deal with him on my sister's behalf."
As expected, Cason soon contacted Miranda, but Gerard and his team intercepted the message.
Lilah disguised herself as Miranda to meet him.
