Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: The Fall of Million Corp

The sharply dressed man strode confidently toward the stage, his polished shoes clicking against the marble floor. Lilian’s eyes narrowed instinctively as she watched him approach. “What on earth is Foster doing here?” she whispered under her breath, a flicker of suspicion crossing her face. “Is he planning to cause a scene?”

Foster’s usual charming smile was firmly in place as he stopped directly in front of her. His tone was polite, almost rehearsed. “Ms. Lilian, I apologize for the interruption. I’m here representing my employer—to deliver a gift.”

Behind him, one of the men stepped forward, extending a sleek black folder toward Lilian. She took it hesitantly, her brow furrowing in confusion. What was Sebastian up to now? His secretive nature always kept her on edge.

Carefully, Lilian opened the folder, and her eyes widened in shock at what she saw inside.

It was a share transfer agreement—specifically, the transfer of the last remaining shares of Million Corp.

Foster’s smile deepened. “These are the final shares of Million Corp. Our employer wishes to present them to you as a gift. He also asked me to convey his apologies.”

The room fell into a stunned silence, the weight of his words sinking in. Everyone present knew the remaining shares had supposedly been acquired by Empire Group. So how were they suddenly being handed over as a gift?

Unless… could it be that Ms. Lilian of Skyreach Group had some undisclosed connection with the leader of Empire Group?

The implications rippled through the crowd, sending shockwaves of speculation and disbelief.

Lilian stared down at the documents, her fingers trembling slightly. This gift was overwhelming—she hadn’t done anything to earn such a grand gesture. And an apology of this magnitude? It was far from ordinary.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden ring of her phone.

Foster answered his own phone briefly before passing it to her. Lilian took the device, and a voice she knew well—deep, rich, and magnetic—came through the speaker.

“Lilian, today is important for you. I’m sorry I can’t be there in person. Please accept these shares as my gift. Don’t refuse.”

“This is far too much—” she began, but the man’s voice cut in, soft and indulgent. “Material things don’t compare to you, no matter their value. Please, accept this.”

The tenderness in his tone melted her resolve. She found herself unable to refuse. “…Alright. I understand.”

With that, under the watchful eyes of everyone in the hall, Lilian accepted the final shares of Million Corp and publicly declared that Skyreach Group now held complete control over the company.

Only then did the crowd truly grasp the reality: Skyreach Group had emerged as the true victor in the battle against Million Corp.

Even the seasoned veterans of the business world looked at her with newfound respect and awe. None had anticipated the conflict ending this way.

So young. So visionary.

They couldn’t help but admire her.

As applause erupted around the room, the grand ball officially commenced.

Several young heirs approached Lilian to offer their congratulations, but Karina intercepted each one effortlessly, not breaking a sweat.

Mr. Austin strolled over, chuckling softly. “You really caught me off guard tonight.”

Lilian smiled warmly. “You flatter me, Mr. Austin. Skyreach Group wouldn’t be standing here without your support.”

Mr. Austin nodded approvingly. This young woman was truly exceptional. The assistance they had provided was minimal compared to what she had achieved. If the Shanks family now enjoyed peace and prosperity, it was entirely because of her.

Suddenly, a deep voice broke through the conversation. “Mr. Austin! You know Ms. Lilian? Aren’t you going to introduce us?”

A sharply dressed man appeared, accompanied by a younger man, smiling expectantly as if certain Mr. Austin wouldn’t refuse such a simple request.

Lilian caught a fleeting flash of irritation cross Mr. Austin’s face and was about to respond when another voice interrupted.

“Sorry to intrude. I need to speak with Ms. Lilian.”

Without waiting for an answer, the man took her hand and gently led her away.

When the two men realized it was Jacob, they wisely chose not to protest. No one wanted to cross the Axen Group—not even accidentally.
