Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Not Meant for the Ordinary

After the eldest son had stormed out in a fury and Gordon’s stern stance became unmistakably clear, the rest of the Goodman family, though visibly displeased, dared not utter another word. One after another, they quietly filed out of the room, leaving only a heavy silence behind.

Only Jordan remained, his voice trembling as tears streamed down his face. “Dad, you don’t even understand what that girl did to me—she destroyed everything! You have to make her fix this!” His desperation was raw, his pain laid bare.

Gordon’s eyes narrowed as he looked at his son, a mixture of sorrow and revulsion flickering across his face. Once, he had taken immense pride in his power and the legacy he was building, but now, looking at sons like Jordan, he felt nothing but bitter disappointment. With a cold, biting tone, he said, “If you can’t keep yourself in control, maybe it’s better that you’ve been broken. At least you won’t be out there causing harm to anyone else.” He dismissed Jordan with a wave of his hand, his voice final and unforgiving.

Jordan understood that his father’s words were absolute—there was no room for argument or appeal. His eyes burned with hatred as he cast one last venomous glare at Lilian before slamming the door behind him, the sound echoing sharply in the tense room.

Lilian’s expression was one of pure mockery, a faint smirk playing on her lips. She then turned to Gordon, her voice light and steady. “Mr. Gordon, I cannot accept the twenty percent stake. Now that you’ve settled your family issues, we can consider this matter closed.”

Gordon let out a weary chuckle, shaking his head slightly. “You should keep it, Lilian. If it weren’t for you, I’d probably be lying next to my wife right now. No amount of money could ever repay that. And, to be honest, I gave you that stake for selfish reasons. You’re not an ordinary person. There may come a time when Goodman Corp faces challenges only someone like you can handle. My eldest son is intelligent, but twisted. I fear this isn’t the end of our troubles.”

Lilian arched an eyebrow, a sly grin tugging at the corner of her mouth. “Well, aren’t you clever? No one’s ever tried to size me up like that before. What makes you so sure I’d want to help Goodman Corp when the time comes?”

Gordon simply smiled, choosing not to answer.

Without pressing further, Lilian reached into her bag and pulled out a small bottle of medicine, handing it to him. “This is a formula I developed myself. Focus on getting better—your family’s chaos is still your burden to bear. Since you’ve handled things cleanly this time, I’ll let it slide. But if there’s a next time, I won’t be so forgiving. And about that twenty percent—you might want to reconsider.”

Without waiting for a response, she gently lifted Sunny into her arms and headed toward the door.

Gordon watched her leave, a quiet certainty settling over him. Lilian was destined for greatness. With her healing talents, keen instincts, and ruthless streak when necessary, she was someone who would shine brightly in any arena she entered.

As Lilian descended the grand staircase, the rest of the family had already vanished from the estate. Stepping outside into the crisp evening air, she noticed a sleek Ferrari pull up smoothly to the curb. The window rolled down, revealing a handsome young man with a polite smile.
