Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156: The Celebration Begins

The moment Nora uttered those words, the atmosphere around them shifted palpably. The students nearby exchanged glances, their expressions hardening with disbelief.

Lillian and Natalie stared at her, stunned by the audacity on display. Nora’s shamelessness seemed boundless—twisting the narrative without a flicker of hesitation, playing the victim when she was clearly the one who had ignited the conflict.

Natalie scoffed bitterly, letting out a cold, sharp laugh. “What a drama queen,” she muttered. “We were just sitting here, minding our own business, eating quietly. Then you come over, sneer at us, and now you’re trying to paint Lillian as the villain? Where do you even get the nerve for that?”

Lillian rose slowly, her movement calm but deliberate. She crossed the small distance between them with measured steps, stopping directly in front of Nora. Her eyes locked onto the girl’s with a piercing intensity, and her voice was as cold as ice. “This is your final warning. Don’t come looking for trouble again. Next time, I can’t promise I’ll be this patient.”

Nora met Lillian’s icy gaze and felt a sudden chill crawl through her spine. Fear overtook her, and she stumbled backward, crashing hard onto the floor. The sound echoed faintly in the tense silence.

Before Nora could gather herself, Eda and a few other girls hurried over, concern written across their faces. Eda’s eyes sparkled with indignation as she snapped, “Lillian, that’s way too much. How can you treat Nora like that? It’s bullying.”

Lillian’s tone remained flat and unyielding. “Bullying? Did I lay a hand on her? Did I hurl insults? Who came over here looking for a fight in the first place?”

Her blunt response left Eda’s face flushed with embarrassment, unable to retort.

Without another word, Lillian turned to Natalie. “Let’s go.” Together, they walked away, leaving a heavy silence hanging in the air.

Eda watched Lillian’s retreat, her brow furrowed deeply. This wasn’t like the usual confrontations she had seen. Lillian was different—stronger, more unyielding. Handling her would be no easy task.

Lillian smirked, lifting her chin with pride. “Of course not. I’m a genius. I know everything. So… Jill, are you falling for me yet?”

Jill had just taken a sip of soda and nearly choked. She shot Lillian a playful glare, her cheeks flushing a soft pink. “Fine, you got me. I’ve fallen for you.”

She grinned mischievously. “If no one marries me in the future, I’ll just come to you. And don’t you dare reject me.”

Lillian nodded solemnly. “Deal. If you can’t find a husband, come find me. A beauty like you is worth keeping around just to brighten the room.”

Their laughter mingled with the lively hum of the celebration, filling the space with warmth and joy as the festivities truly began.
