Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband

Chapter 80

Finished

Standing at the entrance of Miller Corporation, Lily's eyes lingered on the towering structure that once

symbolized her ambition. This building had been her masterpiece, a dream painstakingly crafted, only to be

unjustly taken from her. Now, it was tto reclaim it-step by step, on her terms.

Her thoughts drifted to the phone call she’d received from her so-called father, Morgan. His voice was overly

sweet, like honey masking poison. First chis apology for Rose’s behavior during their last encounter,

delivered with a facade of sincerity. Then, almost predictably, he segued into his true motive. requesting her

assistance on a new project.

At first, Lily had considered outright rejection. But then a better plan formed in her mind. With Ethan already at

his office after their warm morning together and Sister Mia taking a day off to recover from her emotional turmoil

the previous day, she found herself free of obligations.

“Why not pay Miller Corporation a visit?” she thought, a sly smile tugging at her lips. “Let's see what kind of

trouble | can stir up.”

With renewed determination, she entered the building. Her heels clicked confidently against the polished marble

floor as she walked, completely ignoring the whispers and curious stares of the employees she passed. She

made her way to the elevator, pressing the button for Taylor's floor without hesitation.

When she reached Taylor's office, she gave a cursory knock on the door before immediately pushing it

open.

“Cin-“Taylor began, only to stop mid-sentence when he saw her walk in without waiting for his invitation.

His brow furrowed in mild annoyance. “Why bother knocking if you're just going to barge in?”

Lily shrugged, meeting his gaze with a casual smirk. “I knocked. You were just too slow to respond.”

Taylor sighed, his lips twitching as if to suppress a laugh. “Elder sister, please, have a seat.”

Rolling her eyes, she dropped into the chair opposite him. “As if | needed your permission,” she said, her tone

dripping with sarcasm.

Taylor chose to let her remark slide, leaning back in his chair with a relaxed smile. “How have you been, Elder

Sister? Is that self-absorbed Rose still giving you trouble on set? Oh, and congratulations on your marriage.

How's Ethan treating you?”

His casual mention of her personal life made Lily's jaw tighten. Her fingers curled into fists beneath the table as

her sharp gaze locked onto him. “How do you know all this?”

She saw no reason to dance around the subject. Directness, she decided, was the best approach.

Taylor's smirk widened, as though he had been waiting for this reaction. “I'm impressed,” he said, leaning

forward slightly. “I thought you'd try to deny it or play dumb with scliché lines like, ‘I don’t know what you're

talking about.”

Lily crossed her arms, her expression unyielding. “Enough games. Speak plainly. How do you know all this?”

Leaning back. Taylor chuckled, clearly amused by her confrontational tone. “Elder Sister, I've always kept tabs on

you,” he admitted, his tone light but confident. “I know everything-how you met Mia, your little stunt at the

Marvellous Universe office, that chandelier incident at my success party, your audition and even your marriage

to Ethan.”

Taylor had been watching her every move. The question was, why?

Finished

Leaning forward slightly, her voice was calm but steely. “And what exactly are you planning to do with all this

information?”

Taylor's smirk deepened, but he remained silent, savoring the moment as though he had all the tin the

world. His silence only fueled her determination to uncover his motives and stay one step ahead.

As Taylor recounted the events of her life in meticulous detail, Lily felt an icy chill run down her spine. The man

before her wasn’t just clever he was dangerous. He seemed to know everything about her every move, her

plans, and her secrets.

She couldn't help but wonder if Taylor was aware of all her actions, why hadn't he said anything? He could have

exposed her to Morgan at any moment, derailing her quest for revenge. Yet, he remained silent. Why? What was

he waiting for?

Even so, she told herself it didn’t matter. If he chose to reveal her secrets now, she would still find a way to

achieve her revenge. But his silence, his calculated demeanor, made her uneasy.

Lily’s prolonged silence seemed to amuse Taylor. With a chuckle, he broke the tension. “Are you scared?”

She lifted her head and laughed, her tone sharp. “Scared? What should | be scared of? It was you and your

family who destroyed my life, not the other way around.”

Meeting his p gaze, she asked pointedly, “If you know so much, Taylor, why haven't you exposedyet? What

are you waiting for?”

Taylor leaned back in his chair, clapping his hands in mock applause. “Elder Sister, | must say, I'm impressed.

You've ca long way. Back then, you were naive-so incredibly stupid. Thankfully, it seems your brain has

finally started working properly.”

Lily's jaw tightened. She clenched her fists but said nothing, her eyes flashing with annoyance. Had he forgotten

that the very position he occupied was built on her sweat and tears?

Seeing her expression, Taylor smirked. “Don’t look atlike that, Elder Sister. | know this company is the result

of your hard work, but who told you to be so gullible back then?”

Before she could retort, he added with a casual shrug, “Anyway, now that you have Ethan as your support

system, | can finally relax. Do you know how exhausting it’s been, protecting you from the shadows?”

His words caught her off guard. Protecting me? Lily’s eyebrows shot up as she sneered. “Protecting me? Don’t

flatter yourself, Taylor. How much of a hypocrite can you be? You and your despicable family ruined my life. If

usingas a pawn or a slave is your idea of protection, then your definition of ‘help’ is twisted.”

Taylor stood, his demeanor calm, and walked to a shelf. He retrieved a file and placed it on the table in front of

her. “Believe it or not, Elder Sister, I've saved you countless times-especially from Rose’s schemes. That banquet

wasn't the first tshe tried to drug you and destroy your reputation. | stopped her more times than you

realize.”

Lily’s eyes narrowed in suspicion as she stared at the file.

He continued, “I even tried to warn you, in subtle ways. | left hints, hoping you'd pick up on the truth about our

family. But you ignored every single one of them. No matter how hard | tried to open your eyes, you never saw

the bigger picture.”

Her heart skipped a beat. What? Was this true?

“You're lying,” she said, her voice shaky but defiant. “Why would you help me? You're Morgan's son, Rose's twin,

and the heir to this company. Why would you, of all people, help someone like me-an outsider?”

Taylor's smirk softened, but his eyes remained unreadable. “Outsider or not, you've always been a part of this

family, whether you like it or not. My reasons are my own, but trust me, Elder Sister, everything I've done was to

protect you in ways you didn’t see-or chose not to”

Lily stared at him, her mind racing. Was he being honest? Or was this just another layer of manipulation in the

intricate web of lies spun by the Miler family?
