Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Sharon’s Past

Back inside the car, Lilian had already removed her hat and sunglasses, revealing her composed face. Ryan glanced at her and let out a soft chuckle. “Chairman, you really do manage to surprise me every time.”

Lilian shot him a sharp look. “What’s so surprising about it? I said I’d go, so naturally, I went.”

Something suddenly clicked in Ryan’s mind, and he turned fully toward her. “Chairman, that piece of land Killian won at the auction—it looked promising. Why did you decide to let it go?”

A cold, knowing smile curved Lilian’s lips. “It was promising, yes. The location was stunning, the views breathtaking—ideal for a residential project, if only the land were actually buildable.”

Ryan blinked in confusion. “Wait, is there something wrong with the land?”

“Wrong with the land?” Lilian scoffed lightly, a trace of sarcasm in her voice as she stared out the window at the passing scenery. “What could possibly be wrong with land?” she mused to herself, though her tone suggested otherwise.

Meanwhile, inside a sleek black sedan—

“Find out everything. Who exactly is the chairman of Skyreach Group?” Killian’s voice thundered, filled with rage. “How dare some upstart company ignore me? I want to know who’s behind this.”

His assistant nodded quickly, eyes sharp. “Yes, sir.”

Killian’s frustration had been simmering for days. Ever since that wretched girl had saved the old man, nothing seemed to go his way. First, he was ousted from Goodman Corp. Then, every attempt to acquire Skyreach Group was met with flat refusal.

And now, tonight, a supposedly minor company had made a mockery of him. That girl—she was his relentless adversary.

“Hmph. You want to make this difficult? Fine. Let’s see who has the last laugh.”

With the auction now behind her, Lilian found her schedule freeing up considerably. Karina and the rest were more than capable of managing the day-to-day operations, allowing Lilian to focus fully on her studies.

It had been over a month since she last saw Sebastian. They hadn’t reached out to each other once. He was probably caught up in his own world, and Lilian made no effort to bridge the silence. After everything she had endured in her past life, she had learned to be cautious—perhaps overly so—when it came to relationships.

The name Skyreach Group had spread rapidly following the auction. One by one, its other business divisions began gaining traction throughout Solara.

Yet Lilian knew her true battlefield was not here. It was in the place that had once tried to bury her. That knowledge drove her to push herself harder than ever.

November slipped past in a blur.

In a luxurious villa somewhere in Solara—

A woman reclined gracefully on a plush sofa, dressed in silk pajamas that shimmered softly under the warm lighting. She sipped her coffee with slow elegance, her makeup impeccable, her beauty both striking and sultry.

The door opened quietly.

Worse still, clients who once worked with Million Corp were suddenly defecting. A little investigation uncovered the truth—they were switching to Skyreach Group.

“What? Skyreach is just some small-time company, isn’t it?” Sharon frowned, clearly unimpressed.

Her life revolved around shopping, beauty treatments, and indulgence. She rarely paid attention to the business world. When she lived in the Goodman estate, she could manipulate people. But out here, she barely gave it a thought. Killian’s career was something she didn’t even try to understand.

“We’ve lost a ton of clients to them lately,” Killian snapped, his frustration bubbling over.

Sharon’s eyes widened, her voice trembling. “It’s all my fault, isn’t it? If it weren’t for me, none of this would have happened. You were supposed to inherit the Goodman family legacy… Maybe you should talk to your father. Ask him to take you back. I don’t want to be the reason you suffer.”

Tears welled in her eyes as she wiped them away.

Killian exhaled deeply, swallowing his frustration. “Don’t say that. You’ve stood by me all these years without any title or recognition. I’m the one who failed you.

“No matter what happens, I won’t abandon you. Million Corp may not be as powerful as Goodman Corp, but we still have roots here in Solara.”

Sharon looked up at him, her eyes shining with tears but her spirit glowing inside. “As long as you’re not hurting, I don’t care what happens to me.”

Killian gently squeezed her hand, his eyes dark and sharp with determination. “Don’t worry. I’ll destroy Skyreach Group—no matter what it takes.”
