I'll Stand Tall While Your Clan FallsOn Valentine's Day, Lily Compton's youngest uncle, Cecil Compton, makes a grand show of putting a no-limit bid on Lily's first night at the auction.
"Lily, we've been childhood friends since young! I must be the first man to pop your cherry!"
I let out a scoff before taking off my engagement ring and throwing it at Lily's face.
"Our engagement ceremony will be taking place soon. Your behavior reflects both our families' reputations."
Cecil glares at me maliciously. "Lily, you and Jerry have yet to get engaged, and yet here he is, already setting up rules for you! Things will definitely get worse for you if you do end up marrying him!"
Lily's gaze turns glacial as she lets out a cold huff.
"This is just a marriage alliance. Is my virginity really that important, in any case? Besides, Cecil has already dumped his money on the bid. I can't just let him walk away with nothing, can I?"
As I coldly watch the shameless pair walk into a washroom, I dial a number.
"Since Lily treats our marriage like child's play, then I suppose there's absolutely no reason for the Comptons to continue existing in this world."
