The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 123 Summary Lilian returned to school amid widespread news that Skyreach Group had completed the acquisition of Million Corp, shocking the city. The revelation that Empire Group had transferred shares directly to Skyreach's chairman, who was rumored to be a young woman, fueled rampant speculation. People debated the nature of the takeover and the relationships behind it, but no official clarifications were given, leaving the public in suspense. Meanwhile, Killian was consumed by anger and frustration in his secluded villa.
His volatile temper had worsened since the acquisition, leading to violent outbursts against Sharon, who lived in fear and endured his abuse silently. Eventually, fearing for her safety, Sharon fled the house in the dead of night, gathering a few belongings before escaping the escalating violence. Unaware of the turmoil in the villa, Lilian kept informed through someone watching over Killian and Sharon. She was particularly surprised to hear that Killian had confessed something to Gordon, an unexpected move given his usual cold nature.
At the same time, Skyreach Group began plans to develop Million Corp's coastal land into villas, a resort, and a botanical garden, balancing business with environmental preservation. Amid these events, Lilian focused on her final exams. On the morning of her first test, she received a good luck message from Sebastian, which brought a brief smile before she entered the exam hall confidently. After completing her exams, Lilian and her friends celebrated their relief by going to Night Palace, a luxurious bar with a lively atmosphere.
There, as they reached the second floor, they spotted Ethan, catching their attention and marking an unexpected encounter. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 123: Winter Break The following morning, Lilian returned to school, her thoughts still swirling with the recent upheavals. News had spread like wildfire across Solara: Skyreach Group had officially completed the acquisition of Million Corp. The announcement sent shockwaves throughout the entire city, leaving everyone stunned and speculating about what this would mean for the future.
What added to the confusion was the revelation that Empire Group had directly transferred the shares it had acquired to the chairman of Skyreach Group. This unexpected move left many scratching their heads, trying to make sense of the sudden alliance. Rumors began to spread rapidly, fueled by whispers and half-truths. One particularly startling piece of gossip was that the chairman of Skyreach Group was, in fact, a young woman. This news only intensified the buzz, stirring even more curiosity and speculation among the public. People debated endlessly, trying to piece together the truth.
Some insisted that Skyreach Group was merely a subsidiary under Empire Group's vast umbrella, while others believed that the chairman possessed powerful connections that made such a takeover possible. There were even murmurs suggesting a close, perhaps personal, relationship between the Empire Group leader and the mysterious chairman. Theories piled up, but no one from either company stepped forward to clarify the situation, leaving the public to wonder and guess. Meanwhile, far from the bustling city, in a secluded villa, Killian sat slouched on a worn-out couch, his face drawn and weary.

The flickering television screen showed the breaking news, but Killian's eyes burned with fury. Unable to contain his rage, he suddenly grabbed the ashtray from the table and flung it at the screen, shattering the glass with a loud crash. Sharon, standing nearby, flinched instinctively, fear washing over her. Since Million Corp's acquisition, Killian's temper had become increasingly volatile, swinging wildly like a tempest. Even the smallest irritation could set him off, and she had learned to tread carefully around him.
Now, she dared not approach him, praying silently that he wouldn't notice her presence and unleash his anger upon her. But her hopes were dashed when Killian abruptly grabbed a handful of her hair, his face contorted with rage. "This is all your fault, you bitch," he spat venomously. "Because of you, I lost everything. Now everyone's laughing at me. What, even you don't want to be around me anymore?" With a savage motion, he struck her across the face. A sharp, burning pain flared on Sharon's cheek, and her ears rang from the blow. She shrank back into a corner, silent and trembling.
The beatings had become more frequent lately, and she had long stopped begging for mercy-she knew it only made things worse. Killian's fury only deepened at the sight of her trembling form. After a moment's heavy breath, he stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind him. Once she was certain he had left, Sharon scrambled to her feet, heart pounding. She hurried to the bedroom, quickly gathering a few clothes and some precious belongings before fleeing into the cold night. She knew that if she stayed any longer, the violence would only escalate-perhaps even to a fatal end.
Back at school, Lilian remained completely unaware of the turmoil unfolding in that villa. Ever since the acquisition, she had arranged for someone to keep tabs on Killian and Sharon, ensuring she stayed informed about their situation. When the news first reached her that night, she responded with only a faint, indifferent "Mm." What truly caught her attention, however, was learning that Killian had gone to confess to Gordon. That was unexpected. Yet, considering Killian's cold and selfish nature, such a move wasn't entirely unbelievable.
Skyreach Group wasted no time in initiating the takeover of Million Corp's assets. After careful discussions with Ryan, they decided to develop the coastal land into a series of villas and a resort, thoughtfully preserving the natural beauty of the area. The remaining land was slated to become a botanical garden, a peaceful green space for the community to enjoy. Amid the whirlwind of business and planning, Lilian focused on her studies, preparing for her final exams.
On the morning of the first exam, just moments before entering the exam hall, her phone buzzed with a message from Sebastian: "Good luck." She glanced at the screen, a small, genuine smile touching her lips. Silencing the phone, she tucked it away and stepped confidently into the hall. The next two days passed in a blur, the exams demanding her full attention. When the last test was finally over that evening, Natalie-who had been eager to break free from the stress-dragged Lilian and Jill out to celebrate.
Their destination was a striking building glowing with neon lights, the sign above the entrance reading "Night Palace." Inside, the atmosphere was both luxurious and intimate. The five-story bar featured private rooms on each floor, centered around a spacious dance floor beneath a grand crystal chandelier that sparkled brilliantly. Natalie beamed with pride. "Not bad, right? I found this place myself. They say it's a ton of fun. Tonight, we let loose!" Jill nodded enthusiastically. "I've been here once with my brother. It's amazing.
Perfect spot for a night like this." She grinned and pulled Lilian and Luna toward the stairs. Just as they reached the second floor, a group of people appeared ahead, catching their attention. "Ethan!" "Ethan!" Jill and Natalie called out together, their voices ringing clearly through the lively crowd. Conclusion The chapter delicately captures the tension between public triumph and private turmoil, weaving together the contrasting worlds of power and vulnerability.
While the acquisition of Million Corp signifies a strategic victory and a new beginning for Lilian and her allies, the shadow of Killian's unraveling rage and Sharon's escape from abuse reveals the darker costs behind the corporate battles. Lilian's poised determination amidst the chaos underscores her resilience, even as the undercurrents of fear and uncertainty ripple through those closest to her. In these moments of upheaval and fragile hope, the story reminds us that strength often emerges not only from victory but from enduring hardship and choosing to move forward.
As Lilian and her friends find themselves in the vibrant yet mysterious Night Palace, unexpected encounters are sure to ignite new tensions and reveal hidden alliances. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation, and the presence of familiar faces like Ethan hints at confrontations or revelations that could shake the delicate balance Lilian has been trying to maintain. Meanwhile, the shadows cast by Killian's unraveling temper and Sharon's desperate escape continue to loom ominously.
