The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 126 Summary Natalie feels relieved when Ethan, Carson, and their group arrive just in time to stop a group of men who had been harassing a young girl named Spring. Ethan confronts the men calmly, demanding to know how his sister offended them. The men claim Spring hurt one of their friends, leading to a brief scuffle that Ethan and Carson quickly end, forcing the men to retreat. Spring, who appears delicate but has a sharp edge, thanks them tearfully, though Lilian suspects her act is not entirely genuine.
Ethan questions Spring about the incident, learning that she accidentally hurt one of the men while trying to escape their grasp. Despite some suspicion, Ethan decides not to pry further and leads the group away from the bar. Spring follows them, claiming she is scared and wants to stay close, which raises Lilian's doubts. Natalie reassures Spring that she is safe now, but Ethan warns that if the men return, there is little they can do. Spring watches them leave with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
After the incident, Lilian enjoys a peaceful break from her exams, spending time at home with her dog Sunny. She scrolls through Twitter, amused by the mixed reactions to her viral video and growing fame. Despite the curiosity and criticism about her identity and appearance, Lilian remains unfazed and finds the online drama entertaining. On a whim, she posts a photo of sunlight streaming through her fingers, signaling her enjoyment of the moment.
Feeling inspired by the bright morning, Lilian decides it's the perfect time to surprise someone special she hasn't seen much lately due to their busy schedules. She smiles with anticipation, looking forward to reconnecting and sharing a meaningful moment during her rare break. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 126: Spring A wave of relief escaped Natalie's lips as she spotted the group approaching. With a bright smile, she exclaimed, "Thank God you're here! Those jerks were harassing that girl and even tried to grab us." Her voice carried both gratitude and frustration.
Ethan and Carson stepped forward, their expressions calm but alert. Ethan's tone was steady as he addressed the men, "I want to know exactly how my sister offended you." The man glared at them with a dark, menacing look. "Mind your own business. That woman hurt one of our guys, and now she's coming with us-end of story." Ethan didn't flinch. He shrugged off his jacket and handed it to Jill. "I'd really like to see what you mean by 'hurt.'" The man sneered, lips curling into a cruel smile. "Fine. You asked for it. But don't blame us for what happens next.
Grab that bitch." His crew lunged forward, and a brief, tense scuffle erupted. The small crowd gathered around them watched silently, holding their breath. Lilian's eyes flicked toward the girl Natalie had been shielding. She appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen-delicate, almost heartbreakingly beautiful. Yet beneath that fragile exterior, there was a sharpness in her gaze, a hidden edge that suggested she was far from innocent. Noticing Lilian's stare, the girl-Spring-quickly dropped her eyes and adopted a timid, helpless expression. Lilian let out a quiet, cold laugh inside.

Quite the little actress, she thought. Both Ethan and Carson had been trained from a young age. It didn't take long for them to overpower the men. The leader of the group gritted his teeth, struggling to stand. His face twisted with pain as he spat out, "This isn't over." He shot one last venomous glare at Spring before turning and retreating with his men. As the tension eased, Spring stepped out from behind Natalie. Her voice was soft and sweet as she said, "Thank you so much. I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't stepped in." Tears shimmered in her eyes, betraying her fragile act.
Ethan rubbed his sore arm, offering a casual smile. "Don't mention it. But what exactly did they mean when they said you hurt their friend?" Spring looked flustered, biting her lip. "They tried to grab me, and I accidentally hurt one of them while trying to get away. Then they chased me here." Ethan studied her for a moment, then replied coolly, "Well, it's over now. Let's get going." He had no intention of digging deeper into her story-it wasn't his concern. If it hadn't been for Natalie and Luna, he wouldn't have intervened at all.
The group began to leave, and Spring quickly followed them out of the bar. Carson gathered Joy and Nancy and left in his own car. Lilian shot a sharp glance at the girl trailing behind them. "Is there something else you need, Miss?" She had been suspicious of Spring from the start. Natalie and Luna were the ones who had helped her, yet all the gratitude seemed directed at Ethan. That alone set off alarm bells. Spring's voice was soft as she replied, "I'm not trying to cause trouble. I was just scared, so I thought I'd stay close to you." She even stole a quick glance at Ethan as she spoke.
Natalie smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, they're gone now. My brother scared them off. You're safe." "But what if they come back?" Spring asked, her voice dripping with feigned vulnerability. Natalie was about to respond when Ethan interrupted, "If they do, there's nothing more we can do. It's late, and we're heading home. Please take care of yourself." Without waiting for an answer, he led the others to the car and drove off. Spring watched them disappear, her eyes flashing with a hint of resentment. With exams finally behind her, Lilian allowed herself to fully relax.
She spent the next two days holed up at home, enjoying the rare peace. Even Sunny had been let out and was happily pacing the living room, tail wagging. Lilian sat on the couch, scrolling through Twitter on her phone. After her video went viral, Wayne had made sure her face was blurred, but still publicly announced that the singer was the newest artist signed to Skyreach Group Entertainment. As he had said, "No need to waste good resources." He even helped Lilian launch her own Twitter account. In just a month, she had amassed over a million followers. She found the comments entertaining.
Most people were eagerly asking when her album would drop. Others were curious why she never posted a full-face photo. Everyone was desperate to see what she looked like. "Why won't she show her face?" "Probably too ugly to reveal." "Who even is this? So much jealousy in the replies." "I'm just being honest. That video wasn't clear at all-you couldn't see anything. She's never been on a show." "If she doesn't want to show her face, so what? Mind your own business." Lilian found the chatter amusing.
She didn't care whether the comments were positive or negative-wherever there are people, there's drama. No point in taking it too seriously. On a whim, she snapped a photo of sunlight streaming through her fingers by the floor-to-ceiling window. Her hand looked slender and fair, glowing softly in the morning light. She posted the picture on Twitter with the caption: "Morning sunlight through my fingers. Feeling the warmth. Finally on break." After sending the post, Lilian glanced out the window. The sun was shining bright and clear.
A sudden idea struck her-it was the perfect moment to surprise someone special. Between school and work, they hadn't spent much time together lately. She smiled to herself, anticipation fluttering in her chest. Conclusion The chapter gently unfolds the tension between protection and suspicion, weaving together the fragile facades characters present to the world and the truths they conceal. Spring's vulnerability masks a complexity that unsettles Lilian, while Ethan's unwavering calmness provides a steady anchor amid the chaos.
As the dust settles from the confrontation, the uneasy calm hints at deeper tensions simmering beneath the surface. Spring's delicate facade and the suspicious glances exchanged suggest that not everything is as it seems, and her true intentions may soon come to light. Ethan's guarded demeanor and Lilian's growing wariness set the stage for a complex web of trust and deception that promises to unravel in the coming chapter. Meanwhile, Lilian's newfound online fame and the flood of public attention add another layer of intrigue to her life.
With a flair for crafting emotionally intense plots and unforgettable characters, she blends love, desire, and drama into every story she writes. Cedella's storytelling style is immersive and addictive-perfect for fans of heated romances and heart-pounding twists.
