Lilin walked up to Sophia with a frown and looked up at her sister, who was much taller. She stretched out her hand and said, "You wanted to give back the painting to me, right? Well, give it." Sophia did not notice anything peculiar with the painting, and she was not prepared to argue with Lilin in front of Adam. After all, she had just promised her father that she would get along well with her sister, so she happily returned the painting to Lilin.

Lilin rolled her eyes at Sophia after taking back the painting. She then handed it to 'Benjamin' in front of everyone and said, "Here! Take better care of the painting I gave you next time!"

Lilin replied, "You're welcome!" She then turned to look at Adam and said, "See, Dad? Benjamin is a very sensible, polite little boy. Some people just don't know how to teach their children!"

Adam had a slightly contorted expression, while Sophia gritted her teeth after hearing the sarcasm in Lilin's words.

Lilin ignored Sophia and held the boy's hand. "Come with me. I'll bring you to your father's room!"

Bryan nodded and said, "Okay." He left obediently with Lilin, while Sophia was left to deal with Adam's scrutinous gaze.
