The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 122 Summary In this chapter, Foster unexpectedly appears at a grand event, approaching Lilian with a surprising gift: the final shares of Million Corp. Presented as a gesture from an undisclosed employer, the gift shocks everyone present, as it contradicts the known acquisition of these shares by Empire Group. The crowd speculates about Lilian's possible secret connection to Empire Group's leader, while Lilian herself is overwhelmed by the unexpected generosity and the accompanying apology.
Lilian publicly accepts the shares, declaring that Skyreach Group now fully controls Million Corp, marking a significant victory. The business community is taken aback by this outcome and begins to regard Lilian with newfound respect for her vision and leadership.

Their encounter ends with a bittersweet farewell, leaving Lilian with a quiet sadness as she watches him leave. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below 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. Walking beside Jacob, Lilian laughed softly. "Thanks for that. I wasn't sure how I was going to get rid of that guy." Jacob accepted a glass of orange juice from a passing waiter and swapped it with the wine in her hand. "No more alcohol for you. You're still young-too much will stunt your growth." Lilian didn't argue. She smiled and accepted the juice.
Jacob glanced at her, a teasing spark in his eyes. "New Year's almost here. Shouldn't you treat me to a meal or something?" She grinned back. "Sure. You pick the time-just give me a heads-up." She truly felt grateful to him. Even though she'd saved Mr. Arron once, she had to admit that much of Skyreach Group's success was thanks to Jacob's support. Taking a sip of his wine, Jacob leaned in slightly. "You have a beautiful voice. That song you sang tonight-it was really lovely." Lilian shot him a playful glare. "Do you always change the subject this quickly?" Conversation killer.
Nearby, whispers began to ripple through the crowd. The casual closeness between them was enough to spark rumors. There had already been speculation about a connection between Skyreach Group's chairwoman and the CEO of Axen Group. Now, seeing them together like this, those rumors felt all the more real. Suddenly, many understood: Skyreach Group was not a force to be underestimated. Lilian hadn't expected that simply talking with Jacob would shield her from so many hidden threats. As they chatted, a new voice interrupted. "Sorry to intrude. May I have a word with Ms.
Lilian?" She turned-and froze. It was Justin. Since their farewell at Sandy River, she had believed their paths would never cross again. Jacob looked between them for a moment, then quietly stepped away. Justin met her gaze. "How have you been?" Lilian studied him carefully. He must have uncovered her true identity by now. Not surprising-he was the richest man in Sandy River, after all. If anyone could dig deep, it was him. "I've been fine. And you?" Justin's brow furrowed slightly. "I've been alright. I wanted to apologize for what happened before.
Misty's been sent overseas, and Lily's been disowned. I know that doesn't undo what they did to you, but I hope... maybe someday I can make it up to you." Her voice remained calm, steady. "There's no need. If I've let them go, it means it's over. As long as they don't cross me again, I won't pursue it." She harbored no hatred for Justin. From start to finish, he hadn't truly understood what was going on. When he finally learned, he pleaded on their behalf-but as family, he had no choice. Justin searched her eyes, as if wanting to say more, but in the end, he swallowed his words.
He smiled softly. "Alright. If you're ever in Sandy River, I'd love to host you." With that, he turned and walked away. Some moments, once lost, were lost forever. He could only admit that he had met the woman he had always wanted to meet-at the wrong time, in the wrong place. Lilian watched him disappear into the crowd, an inexplicable, quiet sadness settling deep within her chest. Conclusion The chapter closes on a poignant note, highlighting Lilian's transformation from a cautious observer to a commanding force in the corporate world.
Her acceptance of the final shares symbolizes not just a strategic victory but a deeply personal triumph over past uncertainties and hidden alliances. The mingling of power, vulnerability, and unexpected tenderness throughout the evening underscores the complexity of her journey-one marked by resilience, unexpected support, and the bittersweet nature of relationships tested by ambition and time. Amidst the celebrations and whispered speculations, Lilian's encounters with Jacob and Justin reveal the delicate balance between past wounds and hopeful futures.
With the final shares of Million Corp now under Skyreach Group's control, the balance of influence has shifted dramatically, but not without stirring old wounds and new tensions. Lilian's encounter with Justin reopens a chapter of her past she thought was closed, hinting at unresolved feelings and the delicate line between forgiveness and betrayal that she must walk carefully.
