Lilah was both amused and exasperated. "Alright, alright. We're here to help Livia find someone suitable. We're just the backdrop today; these young people are the main focus."

She glanced around but couldn't spot Livia.

"By the way, where's Livia?" she asked, puzzled.

Gerard replied, "When I arrived, I saw her being called away by Mom. She probably had something important to tell her."

Indeed, at that moment, Livia was sitting beside Lady Brenda, with another person next to them—Lady Brenda's dear friend, Lila.

Since Lady Brenda had brought her from the hospital to stay in the Harris family's back garden, Lila rarely ventured out unless Lady Brenda personally invited her.

"Auntie, is there something you need from me?" Livia asked, feeling inexplicably anxious, sensing the tense atmosphere.

Brenda held her hand, speaking earnestly, "Livia, I asked you to come today because I have a few things to tell you. As you can see, there's a party going on outside. I've invited many young boys and girls, but most of them are boys. It's a good time to start thinking about your future, so take a look and see if you like anyone. You can start talking to them slowly..."

"No, no, no, Aunt Brenda, I'm not considering finding a boyfriend right now," Livia quickly waved her hand. Given her current situation, she hadn't thought about looking for a boyfriend.

"Listen to me. Your parents aren't reliable, so as your elder, I naturally have to plan for you. You're still young and have plenty of opportunities to choose. If you find someone today, that's great.If not, it's fine too.It's just to prepare you mentally.

After all, you'll eventually get married, won't you?"

Brenda's voice was gentle, yet there was an undeniable certainty in her words.

Livia was silent for a moment before nodding lightly, "I'll listen to you, Aunt Brenda."

Brenda smiled with satisfaction. "And also..."

She paused, her eyes lowering, as if the words got stuck in her throat.

She glanced at Lila, who was sitting beside her, seeking help.

Lila, straightforward as ever, said directly, "Livia, I told your aunt about what you asked me to help with before. She knows everything now.”

Her calm statement of facts was devoid of any embellishment.

Yet, those simple words made Livia's face change instantly, and she instinctively wanted to disappear.

Her private thoughts were suddenly laid bare.

"Aunt Brenda, I... I was just caught up in the moment. I haven't thought about it since. I just wanted to..."

"I know. Lilah mentioned it to me too. She hopes you'll study hard and become my successor," Brenda said, looking at her with a forgiving gaze, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"I originally thought you weren't capable of much, but when you showed great bravery in a difficult situation, I saw your courage. I believe you can achieve great things in the future.

So, starting today, besides teaching you myself, I'll find a few more teachers for you. You need to learn well, understand?"
