Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245: The Mole

“Sinclair Group has long held the crown as Kingston’s pharmaceutical powerhouse,” Karina explained, her voice steady yet tinged with concern. “But lately, their influence has been slipping. The nationwide success of Light Pill has dealt them a severe blow. This new formula—they see it as their ticket to reclaiming their former glory.”

Lillian raised one perfectly shaped brow, a flicker of cold amusement lighting her eyes. Without her mother’s medical genius supporting their ventures, Sinclair Group’s decline was inevitable.

A thin, icy smile crept across her lips. “If they’re desperate to climb back up, then let’s give them the push they need. Make sure the mole stays unsuspecting. Tell the herbalists to clear a section of land—I want Light Herb planted there.”

Her words hung in the air like a sudden drop in temperature, sending a shiver through Karina, as though the very atmosphere had grown frigid.

After ending the call, Lillian’s gaze drifted to the leaves swirling in the breeze outside the window. She narrowed her eyes, a quiet determination settling in her chest. So soon. I really am going back to that place.

Sinclair Group Headquarters, CEO’s Office

Henry clutched the stolen formula tightly, his eyes sparkling with barely contained excitement.

“Has anyone from Skyreach Group caught wind of the breach yet?” he asked, voice low but urgent.

His subordinate bowed respectfully. “Not a word. The formula was taken directly by our inside man and delivered straight here.”

A triumphant grin spread across Henry’s face as he chuckled softly. “Excellent! This is perfect. Inform the lab to start working on the formulation immediately.”

The man bowed once more before hurrying out of the room.

Leaning back in his chair, Henry exhaled deeply. For months, one project after another had crumbled, flaws multiplying, stocks plummeting. The pressure had been suffocating. But now, with this formula in hand, Sinclair Pharmaceuticals finally had a chance to breathe again.

The weekend had arrived, and Eda’s birthday celebration was already in full swing.

Lillian had no desire to attend, but Natalie had practically dragged her along.

“Lillian, are you seriously going to wear that?” Natalie asked skeptically from the passenger seat.

Daylen laughed, clearly unbothered by her teasing.

The group entered the villa.

Inside, the atmosphere was dazzling. Normally reserved classmates had transformed—boys in tailored suits, girls in flowing gowns. Beyond them, clusters of guests from Solara’s business circles mingled, laughter and polite conversation filling the expansive room.

Natalie leaned close and muttered, “This is way over the top.”

Daylen smiled knowingly. “It’s typical. With Eda’s father’s position, many people use occasions like this to curry favor. They bring gifts, make connections—it’s all about seizing opportunities.”

Natalie nodded thoughtfully. “Makes sense. In high society, these things are almost expected.”

Daylen excused himself, needing to circulate among his acquaintances, leaving Lillian and Natalie to explore the party on their own.
