Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: His Fury

Jill had been overwhelmed with anxiety and anger throughout the entire day. When she finally saw Nora standing by the school gate, a surge of fury took over her. Without hesitation, she stormed forward and delivered a sharp slap across Nora’s cheek.

“You witch! What did you do to me and Rina yesterday?” Jill’s voice cracked with accusation and pain.

Nora staggered slightly, her cheek burning from the unexpected strike. But instead of reacting with anger, a cruel smile spread across her face as she thought about Lillian—the tormentor who was now gone. A soft, mocking laugh escaped her lips. “Senior Jill, what are you even saying? I don’t understand. We argued yesterday, yes, but after that, I left.”

Standing beside Nora, Eda spoke gently, trying to calm the situation. “You must be mistaken, Jill. Nora was with me shopping all day yesterday.”

Jill’s eyes narrowed, her sneer growing sharper. “Keep pretending if you want. But how do you explain this—right in the middle of our argument, Rina and I suddenly blacked out. And you say it has nothing to do with you? Who’s going to believe that? Are you going to admit it or keep lying?”

Nora’s expression hardened as she shot back fiercely, “Admit what exactly? We argued, yes, tempers flared, but that’s it. You’re remembering wrong.”

“Tempers flared?” Jill scoffed bitterly, her voice rising with rage. “Don’t make me laugh. You drugged me and Rina. You helped those people take us away. You were working with them, weren’t you? You were the one who helped lure me so they could threaten Lillian and take her away. Isn’t that what happened?” Each word was laced with fury, her conviction unwavering. How else could everything have fallen into place so perfectly?

For a moment, Nora’s eyes flickered with a rare satisfaction. Yes, she had been the bait that day, collaborating with those men to trap Lillian. The instant she learned it was to deal with Lillian, she agreed without hesitation. Now that Lillian was gone, the bitterness that had festered inside her for so long finally began to fade.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Nora said quickly, trying to maintain her composure. “Lillian just asked for leave, didn’t she? How could I possibly be involved? I have my own things to take care of, so I’m leaving now.”

Before Jill could react, she raised her hand to strike again, but Nora caught her wrist mid-air with a cold smirk.

“Really? You think you can hit me twice?” Nora sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. “Lillian’s disappearance isn’t my doing. That first slap? I’ll let it slide because you’re upset. But don’t push it.” She shrugged off Jill’s arm and turned to walk away, her confidence unshaken.

But just as she spun around, a figure stepped into her path.

His eyes were dark and intense, glowing with a terrifying, murderous light. “Say that again. What happened to Lillian?”

The triumph she had felt earlier twisted into bitter regret. Yet confessing would mean admitting guilt—something she refused to do.

Eda’s eyes shimmered with fake tears as she added in a trembling voice, “Nora truly doesn’t know anything. Lillian was close with the campus heartthrob—maybe another jealous girl had something to do with it. After all, plenty of girls envy her.”

She said this deliberately, hoping to plant the idea that Lillian was a frivolous girl, always entangled in drama with boys. But she had chosen the wrong person to try this on.

Sebastian didn’t even glance at Eda. A cold, humorless laugh escaped his lips. “Foster, take her away. Make sure she’s well looked after. When she decides to talk, she’ll be released.”

At those words, Nora’s knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground, fainting from sheer terror. Foster immediately signaled the guards, who rushed forward to carry her off.

Eda watched everything unfold, her eyes darkening with venomous hatred. She didn’t need to ask why this man was here for Lillian. Even now, with Lillian gone, someone was still standing up for her. The rage inside Eda only grew fiercer, burning hotter than ever.
