Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 541

**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession Series 541**

**Chapter 541: Julius’s Arrival**

Lillian maintained her serene demeanor, her face a mask of calm. “No, nothing like that,” she replied, her voice steady. Deep down, she was acutely aware of the insinuations Isabelle was making, but she had no desire to unveil the truth just yet. What she needed was to uncover Laney’s true intentions.

And then, there was the unsettling issue of the milk tea. Each of the three cups had been clearly tampered with, a fact that gnawed at her like a persistent itch. Who was Laney aiming to ensnare? Was this a scheme of her own design, or was there a puppeteer lurking behind the scenes? The answers remained shrouded in ambiguity. Until she could unravel this tangled web, feigning ignorance was her only option.

Isabelle, observing Lillian’s uncharacteristic cluelessness, felt a mix of emotions swirling within her. Should she lay everything bare, or would that only serve to deepen Lillian’s confusion? Just as she was about to voice her concerns, a palpable excitement rippled through the gathering.

“Julius is here!” someone shouted, their voice slicing through the chatter.

“Let’s go see! Who would have thought we’d get to see Julius today? What incredible luck!” another guest chimed in.

“Yes, it’s been ages since anyone laid eyes on him,” someone else added, their tone filled with nostalgia.

The crowd began to shift, an eager wave pushing toward one corner of the room, a collective curiosity igniting the air.

Lillian had never anticipated encountering Julius this evening. She had assumed that by keeping her distance, their lives would remain separate, two parallel lines never meant to intersect. But Kingston was too intimate a setting for such a fantasy to hold true.

Isabelle took a sip of her juice, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Even after all these years, Julius remains the center of attention,” she remarked, her enthusiasm palpable.

Isabelle’s gaze snapped back to Lillian, her expression shifting to one of indignation. “That’s entirely different! Admiring someone is one thing, but I still need my cow dung. Let me finish my meal first, and then I’ll go find him!”

At that moment, Julius’s gaze fell upon Lillian, and he made his way toward her, his voice soft and inviting. “Lillian, so you’re here too,” he said, a hint of surprise coloring his tone.

For reasons he couldn’t quite articulate, he had always found her intriguing. From their very first encounter, she had treated him with an odd hostility, maintaining a deliberate distance that only fueled his curiosity. He wanted to delve deeper into the enigma that was Lillian.

Chloe, spotting Lillian from across the room, felt a surge of animosity rise within her. “What are you doing here?” she spat, her eyes ablaze with ire.

Since Lillian’s arrival, Chloe’s life had spiraled into chaos. Her once adoring parents had grown cold and distant, and her grandfather no longer showered her with the affection he once did. Just the thought of it sent a wave of fury coursing through her veins.
