Tiffany’s eyelashes trembled as tears welled up in her eyes. She sobbed and said, Tm sorry, Lisa. I’ll apologize on their behalf. I’ll take full responsibility for the missing items and compensate accordingly
“Nonsense!” Julius scoffed. “The items belong to us and there’s no need for compensation.”
“I remember Mom once said that if a servant is caught stealing, they’ll be dismissed.” Lisa said.
Greta and Roxanne’s faces instantly turned pale while Tiffany’s tears began to fall freely. She clutched Julius’s hand and pleaded, “Julius, don’t send Greta away! She had been with me since I was young–I beg you, please…”
Seeing his sister in such distress, Julius’s temper was instantly gone. He sighed and relented, “Alright, alright. Don’t worry. I won’t send Greta away, and I won’t tell Mom about this either.”
Then, he turned to Lisa and scolded. “Stop accusing them of stealing! Watch your mouth.”
Grabbing her collar, he warned. “You’d better not spread this around, or you’ll regret it.”
Lisa staggered from the force, but she remained expressionless,
She looked up at Julius coldly and said softly, “You’re such a wonderful brother. You’d rather let me suffer than let a servant be wronged.”
Julius was momentarily speechless. ‘Greta is different.”
“How so?” Lisa countered. Just because she used to be Tiffany’s nanny, does she get a free pass for stealing and framing me?”
“You–Julius’s temper flared. “When did you become so sharp–tongued?”
Lisa shook off his grip and brushed past him. “If anything goes missing from the kitchen again, don’t come asking me. Ask your precious Greta
Julius fumed. “What kind of attitude are you giving me?
Lisa ignored him and walked out of the kitchen,
This is outrageous! Julius grumbled. “Who spoiled her into acting like this?”
Tiffany, still teary–eyed, tugged on his sleeve. Julius, don’t be mad. Lisa didn’t mean it.”
“She absolutely meant it!” Julius kicked the kitchen door in frustration. “She knows I’m already stressed out lately and deliberately picked this moment to make things worse for me!”
Tiffany quickly comforted him while subtly signaling Greta to clean up the mess.
Then, she glanced in the direction Lisa had left.
Was it my imagination, or had Lisa changed overnight?
Could a person’s personality shift to drastically after a serious illness?
Wiping away her tears, Tiffany said, “Julius, go ahead and eat first.”
What about you?”
Ill go find Lisa and apologize.” Tiffany said gently. “After all, she was wronged.”
Julius frowned and was about to protest, but Tiffany cut him off with a soft smile. “Come on, Julnus, isn’t keeping the family harmonious the most important thing?”
Julius scoffed inwardly
You consider Lisa as family, but she’s never considered you as our

Yet, seeing Tiffany’s innocent and kind demeanor, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything harsh Fine, I won’t stop you. But if she still refuses to listen, just leave her be,” he said
Tiffany walked to Lisa’s door and politely knocked Lisa! Are you there?”
She appeared courteous, but before Lisa could respond, she had already pushed the door open–Lisa’s shabby little room didn’t even have a lock.
Lisa was sitting on the bed reading a book. Tillany walked over and sat beside her. Still mad? Julius wasn’t targeting you on purpose, you know. You probably don’t know this, but there’s a mole in his studio. Someour leaked the main track of his new
“The rival released the song hrst. Julius’s album is supposed to drop tomorrow at six in the evening. He’s in complete panic because he can’t find another song of equal quality in time. That’s why he’s been so irritable–don’t take it personally.”
Lisa looked up at her and asked, “And how is that my problem?“
Lisa, how can you say that? Tiffany frowned and added sadly, “Tin just an adopted child, yet even I’m worried about him. As his biological sister, shouldn’t you are even more)
She sighed and continued, “You used to want to get closer to Julius, didn’t you? You two have just been apart for too long. Hut, blood is thicker than water. If you keep showing In your sincerity, he’ll eventually be moved and accept you”
If this had been the Lisa from the previous life, these words would have lilled her with hope, making her desperate to prove herself to Julius, But now…
When Julius had escaped the fire, he hadn’t even looked back.
Some people were just heartless, no matter how much you gave them.
“So, Lisa, Tiffany took Lisa’s hands and said sincerely, “I’m begging you on Julius’s behalf. Can you write a new song for him? He’s in a really tight spot right now.”
Ah. So this was what it was all about
In her past life. Lasa hail fallen for this emotional manipulation, staying up all night to compose a song. She had thought that even if Julius wouldn’t thank her, at least he’d soften toward her. Instead, his attitude only became worse.
Lisa had been writing songs for Julius for quite a while now. All of his biggest hits were her work. Since Julius had always. despised her, Lisa never dared to hand the songs over directly. Instead, she’Mask Tillany to pass them along for her.
“Lisa Did you hear me?” Tiffany’s brow furrowed as she pleaded. “I’m begging you!”
“Alright” Lisa nodded. I’ll write it
Tiffany beamed I knew you wouldn’t hold a grudge against Julius! I know it’s a lot to ask, but… could you finish it by eight in the morning? The song still needs to be recorded.”
Although Lisa was a genius, composing a hit song overnight–one good enough to replace the lead track of a pop star’s album
was nearly impossible. It would incan staying up all night, maybe even pulling an all–nighter without rest.
However, Lisa simply nodded. Til have it ready on time
Tiffany’s heart leaped with joy She thought Lisa had changed, but clearly, she was still the same gullible fool.
“Thank you. Lisa Tiffany gushed Tll definitely put in a good word for you with Julius for him to accept you!”
Lisa didn’t waste any time–she simply wrote down the song she had composed in her past life and handed it over by the agreed time
Tiffany’s eyes sparkled with a mix of delight and jealousy as she looked at the sheet music.
Why Why did this country–bumpkin have such incredible talent for songwriting?

“This is amazing. Lisa. Tiffany said. “I take it to Julius right away! You should get some rest–those dark circles under your eyes made me feel sorry”
Lisa nodded but she didn’t leave. Instead, she hid in the shadows, waiting
