He had assumed the Wilson family would remain inconspicuous, given their patriarch's death and their apparent disinterest in fame. Yet, here they were, suddenly drawing attention in Glophia with a press conference.

Kayla continued to trim the rose branches in the living room, while Nancy quickly handed her the new ones.
"Tell Sean to return as soon as he can. Since you've made him the head of the Scott family, he should represent us there."

Once neatly arranged, the flowers lay scattered amidst spilled water, creating a mess.
A sudden silence enveloped the living room.
