Once the acupuncture was done, Miranda gave the old lady a full-body massage, leaving her slightly perspiring.
Yet, in the end, the Sanderson family only arranged for them to stay in a modest room, not befitting their status.
Lilah, unable to bear it any longer, held Miranda back, demanding to know her intentions.
Miranda's expression changed several times before she finally sighed, motioning for Lilah to stay calm.
"Sis, I'm tracking someone, and only Cason can help me,"
Miranda said through gritted teeth.
"This person is extremely important to me, and I must find her. So I have to play humble, letting the Sandersons think I'm clinging to Cason for personal gain, so they let down their guard and overlook my true purpose... "
"So, you and Cason have a mutually beneficial relationship, and he's not as simple as he appears, right? With many descendants and tangled power dynamics, Cason wants to seize control but lacks the strength, so he relies on his maternal family, acting as a puppet?"
Lilah analyzed with a frown.
Miranda paused, then chuckled, "Sis, should I say you're insightful because of your experiences, or praise you for watching so many dramas that you see through everything?"
Lilah rolled her eyes, gripping Miranda's hand. "You, you, you're so patient. Aren't you angry at how they treat you?"
Miranda laughed, "I know what I want, so some things aren't worth taking too seriously."
"If you won't take it seriously, then let me do it for you, Lilah said with a cold smile." Having a protective sister who stands up for her family isn't so strange, is it?"
Miranda was momentarily taken aback, puzzled by the situation.
Lilah explained to her, "Think about it. If they knew that you, a perceived weakling, have an even more clueless sister who's muscle over mind, wouldn't they feel more at ease? After all, someone with no brains is the easiest to control, right?"
Miranda raised an eyebrow, sensing something was off. "But what about your identity?"
"Don't worry. When I arrived, your brother-in-law had already taken care of erasing my identity. Only Cason from the Sanderson family knows, and as long as he keeps quiet, no one else will find out." Lilah was ready to go to great lengths for her sister.
She was tired of playing the role of the cold and calculating goddess and thought that changing her style once in a while might not be a bad thing.
Just then, there was a knock at the door—more accurately, a pounding.
Jada's voice called from outside, "Dr. Hanson, our matriarch isn't feeling well again. Could you come out and take a look?"
This wasn't a request; it was a provocation.
Miranda was about to open the door, but Lilah stopped her.
Lilah gestured for Miranda to come closer and whispered a few words in her ear.
Then, Lilah opened the door.
