**TITLE: The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 636**
**CONTENT: Chapter 636 City-Wide Attention**

The Sinclair family was engulfed in a palpable tension, a weight that pressed down on every member of the household. The silence was deafening, each person lost in their own thoughts, grappling with the uncertainty of the moment.

Meanwhile, the Hawk family was equally engrossed in the unfolding drama of the competition. Their keen eyes were trained on the events, every detail scrutinized with unwavering focus.

In the expansive main hall, Mr. Geo sat composed, an island of tranquility amidst the brewing storm. Uncharacteristically, Lambert was also present, a rare sight that added to the gravity of the situation. Laura occupied a seat to one side, her expression a mixture of concern and anticipation. Across from her, Ashley sat with the Hawk family brothers, her fingers nervously tapping against her thigh.

With a tremor in her voice, Ashley broke the silence, “There are only five minutes left. Do you think Lilian will make it in time?” Her eyes darted toward the entrance, as if willing Lilian to appear.

Mr. Geo, however, remained unfazed, taking a deliberate sip of his tea, the warm liquid offering him a moment of calm.

Laura let out a heavy sigh, her brow furrowing with worry. “After everything that has happened, I truly wonder how that girl is managing. The world outside is blissfully unaware, but we know the weight Lilian carries.” Her tone was laced with empathy, reflecting her deep concern for her friend.

Mr. Geo finally spoke, his voice steady and reassuring. “She will definitely come. That girl possesses a mindset that is unparalleled. She understands the delicate balance between national pride and personal ambition. She knows exactly what is at stake.”

Meanwhile, students from Kingston University were huddled together, their eyes glued to the screens, sharing the collective hope of their peers. The representatives were among them, and while they couldn’t participate directly, their spirits soared as they cheered for their fellow students.

In a similar vein, at Riverdale High School in Solara, Jasper had orchestrated a gathering in the auditorium, ensuring that the entire school would witness the spectacle unfold together.

Inside the Kingston Auditorium, the atmosphere was electric. Time ticked by with relentless precision, each second stretching into eternity.

Paul’s gaze flicked to the wall clock, its hands moving with cruel slowness. Only two minutes remained. The reality of the impending conference loomed over him like a dark cloud, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that without Lilian, their chances were dwindling.

Outside, two staff members clad in sharp black suits stood sentinel at the entrance, poised to seal the doors at the moment the clock struck ten.

“Yes, we were genuinely worried you wouldn’t make it,” Noah chimed in, his relief evident as he returned her smile.

Nearby, Ivan, a member of the opposing team, couldn’t resist the opportunity to taunt. In Radovian, he sneered, “You Dracovians really seem to have no grasp of time. The conference is about to commence, and you waltz in at the last moment. As the hosts, isn’t this a bit embarrassing?”

Lilian turned her gaze toward him, her expression unwavering. Ivan appeared to be in his sixties, with short, graying hair and a sharp, critical gaze that could cut through steel.

“This is Dracovia,” she replied coolly, her voice steady. “I must kindly remind our international friend to adhere to local customs and communicate in the Dracovian language. Regarding punctuality, we Dracovians believe in maximizing every moment. The conference is set to begin at ten o’clock, and I arrived precisely at 9:59. Not a second late. My timing is perfectly reasonable. So, I would advise this gentleman to choose his criticisms wisely next time. Otherwise, he risks losing face and wasting everyone’s time. Now, that would truly be disgraceful.”

Her words hung in the air, leaving the audience in stunned silence. Ivan, caught off guard, found himself at a loss for words, his bravado shattered by the unexpected retort from the young girl.

As Lilian made her way to the row of student representatives behind Mr. Jorge, the atmosphere in the auditorium shifted, charged with newfound energy and anticipation.
