Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 584

**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 584**
**Chapter 584: The Press Conference**

Sebastian’s lips twisted into a sardonic smile, a chilling expression that sent shivers through the crowd. “Ms. Laney, your statements are utterly disjointed. You just confessed to being intoxicated that night. So tell me—how on earth did you end up in my room?”

A flicker of panic ignited in Laney’s eyes, but she quickly steeled herself, straightening her back as if preparing for battle. “I… you were the one who brought me there,” she replied, her voice wavering slightly, yet she attempted to project confidence.

Sebastian let out a low, mocking laugh that echoed through the hall, filled with disdain. “Now that’s truly amusing. My fiancée was drunk that night, and I was merely looking after her. How could I possibly have escorted you to my room?”

Under his piercing, playful yet frosty gaze, Laney blurted out, “You’re lying. That night, you were in your room. When I entered your bedroom, you were resting. That’s the truth. And you refuse me. So I’m certain the child I’m carrying is yours.”

Her declaration sent shockwaves through the audience, a ripple of disbelief coursing through the crowd. So she had approached him first. Many eyes turned toward her, some filled with contempt, others with intrigue.

Sebastian turned his attention to Foster, his expression unreadable. “Begin.”

Foster rose from his seat, moving deliberately toward a computer stationed at the side of the stage. He plugged in a flash drive, and moments later, the massive screen behind them flickered to life, illuminating the tense atmosphere.

The footage revealed a woman stealthily opening a door and ascending the staircase. She paused on the ninth floor, entered a room, and remained inside. At four in the morning, the door swung open once more, and the same woman emerged. It was unmistakably Laney. But just ten minutes later, another man exited the very same bedroom, a stark contrast to the first.

Gasps of shock erupted throughout the room, a wave of disbelief washing over the attendees.

Her voice trembled as she spoke, raw emotion breaking through. “So you’re implying that you were aware all along that I would pursue you, and you set a trap for me?”

“Incorrect,” Sebastian replied, his tone as frigid as ice. “The trap was one you walked into of your own volition. No one coerced you. If you hadn’t entered that room that night, even if I had laid a trap, it wouldn’t have ensnared you. Isn’t that the truth?”

Tears streamed down Laney’s cheeks, her voice breaking as despair flooded her words. “Yes, I schemed to get close to you. But is it wrong to love you? Is it wrong to seek my own happiness? Why won’t you grant me even the smallest chance? I’m not inferior to Lillian. Why do you treat me this way?”

“You’re not wrong for seeking happiness,” a clear, resolute female voice rang out through the conference hall, cutting through the tension like a knife, “but what you should never have done is invoke the name of ‘true love’ while covertly attempting to seduce my fiancé.”
