The Morris family's private chef was remarkable, and although Lilah had only dined there a few times, each occasion left a lasting impression.

Everyone was clearly attentive to Absolon's mood during the meal, even Danna refrained from making any harsh remarks, making it the best meal Lilah had ever had at the Morris estate.

Midway through the meal, Danna suddenly stood up and approached Lilah.

Lilah was completely bewildered, wondering what was going on.

She had just praised Danna in her mind, hoping she wouldn't stir up trouble.

"Lilah, Grandma hasn't treated you well in the past, but you never let it bother you, and I'm very grateful. This is a treasure my late husband acquired at an auction overseas.

There's a pair, and today I'm giving them to you both as an apology for my past behavior. I... "

As she spoke, Danna started to remove her bracelets.

Seeing this, Lilah quickly stood up to stop her. "Mrs. Morris, that's not necessary."

To be honest, given Danna's track record, who knew what her intentions were?

Besides, she intended to give them not just to Lilah, but to Miranda as well, which felt like forcing Miranda to acknowledge her roots.

"We appreciate your kind gesture, but we can't accept these,"

Lilah spoke sincerely.

Danna's expression shifted slightly. She recalled Karol's advice to remain patient and maintain a good attitude, ensuring ho mistakes were made, and that Miranda would eventually acknowledge her roots, which would make Absolon happy and help him recover.

"Lilah, are you still upset with Grandma? I know I was wrong before, but I've changed."

Danna choked up, tears welling in her eyes.

Lilah's expression was indifferent as she noticed the displeasure in Danna's eyes.

"Madam, we're here to honor my father, not to accept gifts from you." Her voice carried a slight lift, with a hint of warning.

Danna grew more displeased.

Offering her treasured possessions was a great favor, yet they seemed ungrateful. Did they think they could have the moon on a stick?

"Lilah, you know that you and your sister are your father's only daughters. He cherishes you dearly, yet now he can't even acknowledge his own child. As his mother, it pains me to see this.

I know you're a dutiful child, aren't you worried for your father? He can't sleep at night. If Miranda were willing to acknowledge him and call him 'Dad', your father would... "

"Madam, please stop." Lilah interrupted, finally understanding the situation.

This banquet was another trap or setup, but this time aimed at Miranda instead of her.
