Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204: Geo’s Explanation

Stella let out a sharp, mocking laugh that echoed lightly in the room. “So, Ms. Sinclair is a singer, huh? Just not a very famous one, I suppose. No wonder I’ve never come across your name before.”

She arched an eyebrow, her tone dripping with condescension. “If you don’t mind me asking, are you currently signed with any entertainment company, Ms. Sinclair?” It was clear now—Lillian was just some obscure, unknown performer. Her father’s reaction had been wildly exaggerated.

Lillian responded with a lazy smile, her voice calm and unbothered. “Singing is just a personal pastime for me. I sing a little for fun, and I never expected to have an audience. As for signing with a company, I’m not interested.”

Stella’s smile twisted into something more patronizing, almost as if she were pitying Lillian. “Is that so? What a shame. I was actually considering introducing you to my father’s company. But if you’re not interested, then I suppose it’s pointless. After all, opportunities in this world don’t come to you—you have to fight for them yourself.”

A faint spark of mockery flickered in Lillian’s eyes. “Thank you for the offer, Miss An, but I’d rather earn my achievements on my own. Climbing over others is just not my way.”

Stella blinked, caught off guard by Lillian’s blunt dismissal. In Kingston’s elite circles, Stella was used to getting her way; no one had ever dared to put her in her place before. Today was a first, and it unsettled her more than she expected.

Just then, a warm, gentle voice interrupted the tense exchange.

“Hope I’m not interrupting, ladies.”

Lillian turned to see Cayden and his brother Robin approaching with easy smiles. The socialites nearby immediately softened their tones, their voices sweet and demure. “Of course not! We’re delighted to have Mr. Robin and Mr. Cayden join us.”

The brothers were widely regarded as the most eligible bachelors in Kingston—born into top-tier families, blessed with striking looks, and known for their approachable, charming personalities. Many young women had long admired them from afar.

Cayden smiled warmly at Lillian. “Lillian, Grandpa’s been looking for you.”

Relieved to have a graceful exit, Lillian nodded. “Alright, I’ll go.”

Cayden led her to Geo’s study, a quiet sanctuary lined with shelves full of books. The first thing that caught Lillian’s eye was the extensive collection—more than half were about calligraphy and painting, their spines worn from frequent use.

His expression turned solemn, though his voice stayed calm. “Skyreach Group should be moving into Kingston soon, right?”

Lillian’s gaze remained steady. “Yes, the preparations are already underway. Thanks to you, everything has gone smoothly over the past two years.” She knew well that the Hawk family had played a vital role in facilitating Skyreach Group’s seamless entry into Kingston.

Geo waved off the praise with a dismissive gesture. “The Hawk family didn’t actually do much. Every permit for Skyreach Group was approved without delay this past year. There’s someone else behind this… and I think you know exactly who.”

Could it be him?

Geo continued, lowering his voice slightly. “The real reason I wanted to see you today is because I need your help with something critical. Radovia has developed a drug—one that can enhance a person’s physical strength, stamina, and explosive power by ten times.”

He paused, letting the gravity of the situation sink in. “If they manage to administer this drug to their troops, it would pose a serious threat to us. I know Skyreach Group has its own research division, so I want your team to analyze this compound and, if possible, find a way to counteract it.”

With that, Geo stood and walked over to a display shelf. He carefully retrieved a locked box, opened it, and took out a small vial. Holding it out to Lillian, he said quietly, “Here. This is what we’re dealing with.”
