Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 448

**TITLE: The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 448**
**CONTENT: Chapter 448 The Discussion**

Lillian shook her head, a bitter smile creeping onto her lips, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I can’t go back. Ever since my mother passed away, that place has felt foreign to me. And do you honestly believe Vivian would allow me to return?”

Laura let out a deep, resigned sigh, her expression heavy with empathy. “Oh, Lillian, you’ve endured so much. That woman, Vivian, she’s as cunning as they come. And your father—he was just the type to fall for her charms. She played the long game, waiting patiently for years, and right after your mother’s death, she stepped into the Sinclair family with all the subtlety of a storm. You can only imagine how intricate her schemes must have been. Perhaps it’s for the best that you stay away; a home like that no longer deserves someone as wonderful as you. It’s truly tragic that a woman of your mother’s caliber was brought down by someone like her.”

Lillian met Laura’s gaze, her resolve hardening. “Don’t worry about me; I will reclaim everything that belonged to my mother.”

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Laura gave her hand a gentle pat. “Your father is in his study upstairs; you should go see him. He’s been talking about you non-stop.”

Lillian nodded, her heart fluttering with a mix of anticipation and apprehension as she ascended the staircase to Geo’s study on the second floor.

As she stepped inside, she found Geo seated at his desk, reading glasses perched on his nose, completely engrossed in a book. His focus was so intense that she hesitated, unsure if she should interrupt his quiet moment.

“Look who finally decided to grace us with her presence after all this time in Kingston,” Geo teased, glancing up as Lillian approached and settled quietly beside him. “What’s the matter? Have we grown too old for you?”

Lillian took a seat on the stool next to his desk, a smile breaking through her initial hesitation. “How could I ever think that? You’re as lively as ever! With all that energy, you could easily pass for a twenty-year-old.”

Geo closed the book with a flourish, pointing at her with a playful grin. “You cheeky little thing; only you would dare to tease me like that. Getting bolder with age, are we?”

“That’s because you’ve instilled that courage in me,” Lillian shot back, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

A cautious expression settled on Lillian’s face, her brow furrowing in thought. “We’ve analyzed its properties thoroughly, but we’re still in search of the herbs that can counteract its effects. I’ve encountered two similar compounds on separate occasions; they shared a key ingredient, yet their effects were entirely different—both had the capability to control a person’s nervous system.”

“And what were the results?” Geo pressed, his interest piqued.

“I managed to extract the medicine using silver needles,” Lillian replied, her tone tinged with both pride and concern.

Noticing the weight of her words, Geo’s smile softened, the warmth of his understanding evident. “You’ve done remarkably well. And since Radovia hasn’t made any moves lately—they’re likely exercising caution—you’ve bought yourself a bit of breathing room.”

Lillian nodded, her determination unwavering. “Don’t worry, Mr. Geo. I’ll find a solution as swiftly as possible.”
