She raised her hands in protest. “I swear, Dad, I didn’t spend anything! I didn’t touch the money. I don’t even know how this happened, but it wasn’t me!”Derek, seizing the opportunity, stepped closer. “If she’s still denying it, Dad, why don’t you read the transaction history for everyone to hear? Let’s see what this ‘innocent’ sister of ours was doing with all that cash.”Mr. Hartley, now fuming, pulled out his phone and began reading aloud, his voice dripping with rage. “The transaction was made yesterday. Eight million dollars—gone, just like that. And no explanation.”Lily’s heart sank as she realized how little room there was for her to defend herself. The evidence seemed stacked against her, but she knew deep down she wasn’t responsible. Her voice shook as she tried to reason with her father. “Dad, I know what it looks like, but please, you have to believe me. I didn’t do it. There has to be an explanation, but it’s not me.”Mr. Hartley’s face was red with fury. “Yesterday! Yo

Lily clenched her fists, her voice rising. “I didn’t steal anything! Why can’t any of you see that?”But the tension in the room was suffocating, the accusations flying back and forth with no end in sight. Lily felt the weight of the world crashing down on her, and despite her desperate pleas, no one seemed willing to believe her innocence.Mrs. Hartley, shaking her head in disbelief, murmured, “I just don’t understand. How could you do this, Lily?”Lily’s heart shattered at her mother’s words. “Mom, I didn’t,” she whispered, tears finally spilling down her cheeks. “I didn’t do anything.”But Derek’s mocking voice cut through the silence once again. “Of course, you didn’t. You’re just the victim here, right? It’s always someone else’s fault, never yours.”And with that, the blame game continued, the atmosphere growing even more toxic as Lily fought to defend herself against a family that refused to listen.Lily’s heart sank at her father’s words. His cold tone felt like a knife twistin

Amidst the tears and turmoil, Lily’s voice trembled with frustration as she affirmed, "I had nothing to do with this! It was Derek—he’s the one responsible!" She turned to her mother, desperation in her eyes. "Can’t you see what he’s doing? He’s manipulating you—both of you!"Mrs. Hartley’s face was lined with concern, but disbelief clouded her judgment. “Lily… how could you lay such grave accusations against your own brother?”Lily snapped, her frustration boiling over. “Because it’s the truth! Can’t you see how he’s playing you all? He’s been doing it from the start!”Derek, sensing an opportunity, quickly capitalized on her outburst. “You can’t handle the truth, can you?” he said smoothly, his voice dripping with mockery. “Just give it up already.”Lily’s eyes flashed with anger as she fired back, “I know what you’re doing, Derek. I know you’re hell-bent on bringing me down. You’ll stop at nothing to make me look like the villain, but I won’t let you get away with it.”Derek scoffe

Lily’s mind raced with a thousand thoughts. She glanced up at Robert, her voice barely a whisper. “Do you really have it?” she asked, her words laced with equal parts hope and doubt.Suddenly, Robert’s voice boomed, cutting through the chaos, silencing everyone in the room. “I *have proof!*” he repeated, louder this time, the firmness in his voice commanding attention.A heavy silence followed his words, the tension in the room palpable. All eyes were now on Robert. Even Derek, who had been gloating just seconds earlier, now faltered slightly, though his smirk remained.Lily’s heart raced faster, her hope rekindled. Could this be it? Could Robert really have what she needed to finally prove her innocence?Mr. Hartley’s eyes narrowed, still skeptical, but curiosity flickered behind his stern exterior. “What proof are you talking about?” he demanded, his voice edged with doubt. Robert met his gaze steadily. "Proof of the transaction. The one Derek made under Lily’s name.”The air grew h

Robert, sensing her inner turmoil, glanced at her as they walked toward his car. “Don’t worry, Lily,” he assured her gently. “We’re going to prove your innocence. I’ll help you get through this.”Lily’s heart swelled with gratitude. She looked at him, her eyes filled with emotion, and thanked him softly, her voice thick with sincerity. “Thank you, Robert. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”Together, they walked to Robert’s car, and as they got in, Lily felt a new surge of hope. The road ahead was uncertain, but for now, she wasn’t facing it alone.Meanwhile, as they left the house and settled into Robert’s car, he turned to Lily and said, “Why not head over to the conference that Glidson Group of Companies is hosting? Maybe we can prove your innocence there. If we dig into the contract, we might find out that you actually signed it and not Derek.”Lily's face shot up with a determined look, her mind racing. Could this really be the opportunity she had been waiting for? The chance

"What are you doing here, Robert?" Derek sneered, his eyes raking over him with disdain. "Come to open doors for people? Or maybe do the janitor’s work? It suits you, doesn't it? A gigolo playing pretend with people like us—pathetic."Derek's gaze then flicked to Lily, his expression darkening with mockery. "And you, Lily," he spat, sizing her up with an exaggerated look of disgust. "Still clinging to this loser? You really have no shame, do you? The both of you, just desperate and delusional."Lily’s blood boiled at his words, the venom in his voice cutting through her like a knife. She had held her tongue for as long as she could, but now she could no longer suppress the anger that surged inside her."Shut up, Derek!" she snapped, her voice trembling with fury. "You’re nothing but a liar, a manipulative coward who’ll do anything to bring me down. Don’t think for a second that your schemes will last forever—I’ll make sure everyone knows who you really are!"Her words echoed with the

Derek’s smugness was unbearable, and it made Lily’s stomach twist even tighter.The man on stage cleared his throat, drawing everyone’s attention back to him. “Unfortunately, our director is not able to join us this evening, but I will be standing in his place to make the necessary announcements.”Lily’s nerves spiked further, her mind racing. She glanced at Robert, who gave her an encouraging nod. The moment of truth was drawing closer, and despite her anxiety, she knew she had to stay calm. This was their chance.As the man continued, his words felt distant to Lily, who was struggling to keep her emotions in check. Anger boiled inside her as she couldn’t understand why the director himself was absent for such a monumental day.She gritted her teeth, her foot tapping anxiously against the floor as the man droned on with pleasantries. Her fingers were clenched tightly on her lap, and she kept shifting in her seat, unable to sit still.Her breathing grew uneven, and she stole quick glan

Lily's heart, which had been racing moments earlier, began to steady. Robert's words infused her with a new surge of confidence. She nodded slightly, taking a deep breath.The flicker of hope from earlier had grown into a flame, burning bright within her. She was ready. The truth was about to be revealed, and everyone would see who she truly was.On stage, the man continued with a smile. “I would like to welcome to the stage the person who negotiated this remarkable deal, whose skill and perseverance have brought about this partnership.”Derek’s parents turned to him, pride practically radiating from their faces."That's our boy!" his father whispered with excitement, nudging him. “You did it, Derek.”His mother beamed, “We always knew you had it in you.”Lily, too, was on edge, her breath held in anticipation. This was it. The moment she had been waiting for.The man on stage paused for dramatic effect, letting the tension build. Then, with a smile, he said, “Please help me welcome M
