Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 643

**Chapter 643: The First Round Victory**

Merrick’s expression softened as he nodded, a sense of satisfaction washing over him. “Good. Hearing you say that brings me immense pleasure. However, there is another vital tradition we uphold in the Philips family: siblings must always support one another and collaborate. This principle stands above all others. I sincerely hope you keep it close to your heart.”

Eric met his gaze, his tone steady. “Yes, I understand.”

At Kingston University, an electrifying atmosphere enveloped the students, their excitement palpable.

“Ms. Lilian is absolutely phenomenal! Did you see how she completely shut down that Radovian representative? He was left speechless!” one student exclaimed, his eyes wide with admiration.

“Absolutely! They had the audacity to belittle the wisdom of our ancestors,” another chimed in, indignation lacing their voice.

“Those arrogant Radovian representatives must have never imagined that we Dracovians would resort to using a worm to unravel the entire issue,” a third student added, a grin spreading across their face.

“That was just too satisfying! It felt like a sweet victory!” someone else declared, their enthusiasm infectious.

Meanwhile, in the Empire Group’s headquarters, a man observed the girl’s clever expression on the screen, a fond smile creeping onto his face. He stood up, retrieving his jacket from the couch with a fluid motion, and made his way towards the exit.

Foster, ever the diligent assistant, hurried after him. “Sir, where are you headed now?” he inquired, a hint of concern in his voice.

Without turning around, the man replied, his tone light and playful, “I’m off to apologize to my little fiancée.”

Foster paused for a moment, processing the unexpected revelation, before quickly resuming his pursuit.

In a different villa, a young man sat on the edge of his sofa, his eyes glued to the conference highlights playing on the television. The moment he heard the name “Leonard,” he straightened up, a flicker of interest igniting within him.

“Alright, alright, I get it,” the young man replied, a hint of impatience in his tone as he headed upstairs.

Outside the Kingston Auditorium, the triumphant victory of Dracovia in the first round sent waves of jubilation throughout the city.

Mr. Jorge and Noah emerged from the building, enveloped by a throng of enthusiastic supporters.

Paul strolled alongside Lilian, a playful smirk on his face. “You little rascal! I genuinely thought you were going to stand me up.”

Lilian’s expression turned apologetic. “I’m so sorry, Paul, for making you anxious. I nearly missed the conference due to some personal matters.”

“It’s perfectly fine, as long as you made it. But I must say, your performance today truly astounded me. What inspired you to use leeches?” Paul asked, genuine curiosity shining in his eyes.
