"Lillian, you're here. You really came."
Brandon stepped forward excitedly, entirely unable to hide the beaming smile on his face at the sight of his sister.
Lillian's expression remained neutral, offering very little in the way of a smile.
Brandon and Colin were overly attentive, flanking her on both sides to escort her into the room.
However, Ethan completely ignored their dynamic. He stepped right in, casually pushing Brandon aside and taking his spot.
Brandon shot Ethan a glare, noting the man's complete lack of tact. But since Ethan had been present in Lillian's office the last time he sneaked in, he recognized him.
Knowing this man was someone Lillian trusted, Brandon swallowed his complaints and let Ethan flank her.
Even so, as they took their seats, Brandon managed to grab the chair next to Lillian, leaving Colin out of luck.
The other side was already occupied by Ethan.
"Lillian, who are these two...?"
Seeing that Mr. Peregrine and Sienna had no intention of leaving, Brandon finally realized there were extra guests.
Lillian gave them a casual glance and motioned for the two to sit down as well.
Brandon looked at them in shock.
Unfazed, Lillian said smoothly, "My personal doctor and nutritionist. Is there a problem?"
At the mention of a doctor, Brandon remembered that Lillian hadn't fully recovered yet.
He immediately feigned concern. "Lillian, how is your health these days?"
Lillian couldn't care less about his superficial worry.
She replied coolly, "Don't worry, I won't die."
