Lilah knew Miranda had a strong will and her own thoughts. No one could force her to do anything she didn't want to.

Danna was abruptly cut off, her expression turning rigid.

"Lilah, what are you... "

"Why didn't you inform me about this beforehand?" At this moment, Absolon suddenly spoke, "I have never forced anything.

Why are you doing this now?"

Absolon was making his stance clear; he didn't want to make things difficult for Miranda.

Karol stood up as well, "Sister, Grandma is only thinking of what's best for Sister Miranda. You might not know, but there are already many rumors outside saying that Sister Miranda is our family's child. They say our father is lucky to have two such excellent daughters.

But people also gossip behind our backs. When you returned home, Father made a public announcement. Now, with Sister Miranda's situation, it's putting Father and our family in a difficult position."

"As far as I know, Miss Morris has already severed ties with Father. As for the reason, you should know better than anyone, right?" Lilah retorted mercilessly.

Karol was left speechless, his words swallowed back down.

Danna stepped forward again, "It's like this. During your father's injury, Karol has been taking care of him, showing remorse and willingness to change. Your father is also willing to give her a chance. Lilah, isn't it better to forgive when possible?"

Lilah shrugged, unconcerned. "I don't care. I'll handle whatever comes my way. Whoever plots against me will pay the price."

Danna's face turned pale with anger.

Karol was equally at a loss for words.

At this moment, Miranda spoke leisurely, "Please continue your conversation. I won't be joining you."

She had no interest in entangling with the Morris family's grandmother and grandson, always preferring to keep things simple.

"Stop right there!" Danna, feeling her dignity threatened as Miranda really began to leave, rushed to block her path.

She enunciated each word clearly, "Miss Fang, do you find the Morris family too lowly for your esteemed self? As far as I know, your adoptive father, Benton, isn't exactly a famous figure, is he?"

The Hanson family wasn't much different from the Morris family, but they always kept a low profile, never involving themselves in disputes, almost forgotten by many.

Danna's words were sharp.

"Indeed." Miranda simply smiled nonchalantly, "Madam, you're right. I do look down on you, and also on this so-called Miss Morris. Some of your actions, my sister might overlook for Mr. Morris's sake, but not me.

I never let a grudge go unpunished and have no interest in sitting at the same table with those full of schemes, ready to harm and crush others. I definitely don't want to call someone like Karol 'sister', let alone you."

Miranda's expression was indifferent as she pointed at Danna's nose and smiled, "Madam, Karol is your pupil.

If she's so unscrupulous, how noble can you be? I'm really frightened. I'm afraid today you might call me Miss Fang, and tomorrow you'd call me something worse, while your carefully taught Miss Morris betrays me behind my back. That would truly be unjust."
