James snorted and cut her off: "Today is a happy day – Lily's coming home from the hospital. Why bring up that troublemaker?"

The servant tried to continue, but William and Henry's cold glares silenced her.

"That wretched girl must have known about the seafood allergy and deliberately made an entire seafood dinner, William fumed.

"And here I thought she was finally starting to accept Lily. Turns out it was all premeditated!" Henry added angrily.

Lily put on a frightened expression and timidly said:

"Big sister is being punished because of me. She's been alone in that cellar for so many days. What if she's angry when she comes out?"

James' expression hardened. "Don't worry, Lily. We've been too lenient with her before. She's never faced real consequences. After this lesson, she won't dare bully you again."

As he spoke, he instinctively pulled out his phone and refreshed our chat history. But our last messages were still from three days ago. In those three days, I hadn't sent a single message or made a single call. James' eyes flashed with anger.

"That ungrateful brat! It's been days and she hasn't even sent one message asking how Lily is doing!"

At that moment, Lily deliberately grasped James' hand and said in a tearful voice:

"I just wanted big sister to spend time with me. I never meant to steal anything from her."

James quickly set down his phone and stroked Lily's head affectionately. "Lily, you're so kind. Not like her – she's nothing but an ungrateful wretch."

William's eyes filled with cold disdain as he thought of me. "That's right. She dares to harm family just to get attention? She's truly despicable!"

Henry nodded in vehement agreement and sneered, "Unless she's learned her lesson and is willing to kneel and apologize to Lily, I'll throw her out of this house myself!"

I stood nearby, listening to my brothers' words, and could only laugh bitterly at the absurdity. But my spirit's actions went completely unnoticed by the living.
