Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: The Corporate War Comes to a Close

As tensions escalated, the stock price of Million Corp took a nosedive. Seizing the moment, Lilian quickly instructed Ryan to start buying up shares aggressively.

Meanwhile, outrage erupted across social media platforms. The public demanded accountability—someone from Million Corp needed to step forward and apologize. The company’s board members felt the mounting pressure and compelled Killian to confront the scandal head-on.

Killian sat slumped in his chair, eyes fixed on the rapidly falling stock figures flashing on the screen. He muttered to his assistant, “Arrange a press conference immediately.”

At that point, his only option was to contain the fallout and salvage whatever reputation remained.

During the press conference, Killian faced the cameras with a heavy heart. He publicly apologized to Skyreach Group, acknowledging that his failure to supervise his team had allowed the misconduct to happen. He expressed sincere regret and promised to take full responsibility for the damages Skyreach Group had suffered.

Watching Killian’s heartfelt apology on the screen, Lilian couldn’t help but grudgingly admire his talent. His voice, tinged with genuine emotion and tears welling up, was undeniably persuasive. It was almost tragic that such skill had been misdirected.

Slowly, the storm of criticism online began to subside, but Million Corp had already taken a severe hit.

All eyes then shifted to Skyreach Group, waiting eagerly for news on when sales would restart. Yet, silence reigned.

Inside the sleek, modern offices of Skyreach Group, Karina observed Lilian flipping through a stack of documents at her desk. With a hint of anxiety, she asked, “Everyone’s waiting for your decision. When will we resume sales?”

Without looking up, Lilian replied calmly, “Why rush? Since everything’s on pause, let’s give the team an extended break—a rare chance to unwind.”

Karina shook her head with a knowing smile. Lilian always appeared so composed and mature, but occasionally her playful, almost childlike side peeked through. Of course, Karina understood the real meaning behind her words.

“Lilian, the public was misled. That’s why the backlash happened,” Karina reminded her gently.

Lilian set aside the completed paperwork and picked up a fresh folder, her voice cool and measured. “I’m aware. That’s exactly why I’m tackling the problem at its source. Since our products’ integrity was questioned, we need to clear up every doubt before resuming sales.”

Karina didn’t argue. She knew Lilian’s strategy was sound—and she also understood the deeper reasons driving her actions.

Meanwhile, the comment section on Skyreach Group’s website was buzzing with activity.

People kept asking when the products would be available again.

Then, one user shared their positive experience with the supplements.

That post sparked a flood of similar testimonials. Soon, dozens more appeared, creating a vibrant community of satisfied customers.

As for Killian’s earlier schemes, Lilian had held back from making any moves. She knew she needed solid, undeniable evidence first. When facing enemies, the strike had to be precise and final; anything less could spiral into endless complications.

Back on campus, with only a month remaining before the break, Lilian’s spirits lifted at the thought of reuniting with her master.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She glanced at the screen and answered. “Jill? What’s going on?”

“Lilian, where are you? Do you have a moment?” Jill’s voice was quiet, almost defeated.

Sensing the distress behind Jill’s words, Lilian responded softly, “I’m just about to leave the school gate now.”

“I’ll wait for you there,” Jill said before hanging up abruptly.

Lilian stared at the screen for a moment, then rose and strode purposefully out of the campus.

There, standing by the gate against the chill wind, was Jill. She wore a pink coat, her long hair fluttering gently in the breeze. Her face looked pale and worn, shadows of worry etched across it.
