Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 476

**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 476**
**Chapter 476: Eda’s Departure**

At that moment, Daylen approached with a purposeful stride. He cast a quick glance at Eda, his expression a mix of concern and determination, before turning his full attention to Lillian. “Can’t you find it in yourself to let her go this time? Deep down, Eda isn’t a bad person; she’s just been spoiled by her circumstances. I genuinely apologize for her behavior, on her behalf.”

Eda stood there, her heart racing, as shock washed over her. She had never anticipated that he would come forward to defend her at such a critical juncture. The warmth of his words wrapped around her like a comforting blanket, yet it also made her feel vulnerable.

Lillian’s voice sliced through the air, icy and unyielding. “I’m sorry, but not every ‘sorry’ can right the wrongs that have been done. Eda’s actions didn’t just affect me; there are others whose reputations have suffered because of her. I can’t speak for them, nor should I.”

Daylen opened his mouth, as if to argue further, but Eda interjected, her voice firm. “You don’t need to defend me any longer. I don’t want your pity or your apologies. I’ve harbored feelings for you for such a long time, and I’m exhausted from this emotional turmoil. From this moment on, I’m setting you free—truly free.”

She pivoted to face Lillian, determination etched on her features. “The conflict between us ends here. If fate brings us together again in the future, let’s hope we’ll be nothing more than strangers.” With those final words, she turned and began to walk away, her heart heavy yet resolute.

A brisk gust of autumn wind swept through the air, rustling the leaves and carrying away the remnants of their confrontation.

Lillian watched as Eda’s figure receded into the distance, her heart a mixture of relief and sorrow. Even in her disheveled state, Eda held her head high, as if the confidence and pride that had once been stripped away were gradually returning.

The fallout from the forum incident had finally reached its conclusion. Rosie and several of her classmates faced various consequences for their actions, while Eda was expelled and subsequently sent abroad by her father. In a surprising turn of events, Lillian ultimately chose not to pursue legal action against Eda—perhaps out of a desire to leave her with a shred of dignity amidst the chaos.

For the students at the University, the entire affair served as a harsh yet invaluable lesson in social responsibility and the consequences of one’s actions.

As time passed, life on campus gradually resumed its normal rhythm. Conversations about Lillian shifted from the scandal that had rocked their world back to her financial acumen—and, of course, her powerful fiancé who seemed to cast a long shadow over her achievements.

In the dormitory, Elsie couldn’t resist teasing Lillian as she leaned back in her chair, a playful smirk on her face. “Who would have imagined, Lillian? At your age, you’re already worth hundreds of millions. Why didn’t you major in finance instead of medicine? Isn’t this all a bit of a waste?”

Elsie groaned in frustration. “Easier said than done! You two are both in med school; if you hit a snag, you can always discuss it together. And Laney—what’s up with her lately? She vanishes every afternoon after class. I have no study buddy left!”

Isabelle paused her studying and glanced over at Laney’s desk, her brow furrowing. “I’ve noticed that too. Haven’t you two seen? She’s been putting a lot more effort into her appearance lately. Do you think… she might be dating someone?”

Her words struck both Elsie and Lillian like a bolt from the blue, leaving them momentarily speechless.

“But that doesn’t seem right,” Elsie said, her brow creasing in confusion. “Sometimes she comes back in such a good mood, but other times, she looks completely downcast. And she never gets calls from anyone. If she’s in a relationship, shouldn’t she be glued to her phone all the time?”

Lillian’s gaze lingered on Laney’s desk, her mind racing with possibilities. Could it really be…?
