The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 164 Summary The group emerged from the cave as daylight faded, and Richard decided to camp outside to better verify the mineral vein's presence. Lillian welcomed this, as it gave her quiet time to plan away from others. Wanting to avoid unwanted company, she asked Richard if she could walk in the forest. Richard was cautious, reminding her that her communication devices were confiscated and she had no money, making escape difficult.

Red, clearly disdainful of Lillian, warned of the dangers in the mountains and urged her to rest, but Richard calmly allowed Lillian to walk as long as she didn't stray too far. Lillian ventured into the forest, while Red expressed concern to Richard about her possibly running off. Richard dismissed the worry, seeing Lillian as just a fifteen-year-old girl unlikely to cause serious trouble. He focused instead on preparing for Mr. Nicholas's arrival and ordered Red to receive him. Meanwhile, at Solara, Light Estate, Sebastian stood troubled, reflecting on recent events.

Despite their efforts, no new information was gained about the conflicts involving Lillian. Sebastian suspected Richard, who had been investigating Lillian, and ordered his team to track Richard's every move. Foster recalled that Lillian had gambled away valuable ivory pieces in Morovia and connected this to Richard's earlier investigation involving her gambling skills. Sebastian speculated that Richard's interest in Lillian was tied to exploiting her extraordinary talent, especially given the instability within the Stint family. He felt a protective, almost paternal urge toward Lillian.

With determination, Foster set out to begin a thorough investigation as Sebastian watched the stormy sky, worried about Lillian's safety and whereabouts. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 164: The Man's Investigation The group emerged from the cave, the fading light casting long shadows across the rugged terrain. To verify the presence of the mineral vein more thoroughly, Richard decided they would set up camp outside for the night. This arrangement suited Lillian perfectly, as it granted her additional time to devise a plan in the quiet solitude of the forest.

- Wanting to avoid the company of people she found unbearable, Lillian approached Richard with a request. "I'd like to take a walk in the forest," she said softly, hoping he would agree. Richard looked at her thoughtfully, scrutinizing her face as if trying to read her true intentions. "Have you thought this through? You can't really run away. Your communication devices have all been confiscated by my men, and you don't have any money. No matter where you go, you won't get far." Red's voice cut through the air, cold and impassive. "Ms. Lillian should rest. We're deep in the mountains here.

There are countless unknown dangers lurking. If something happened to her, would we be expected to send our men out to rescue her?" Her disdain was obvious-she couldn't stand Lillian's constant disrespect, always speaking as if she held all the power just because of her gambling skills. Richard, however, remained composed. He shrugged off his suit jacket and spoke with calm authority. "Ms. Lillian may walk as she wishes, but she must not stray too far. The mountains at night are perilous." He wasn't genuinely concerned about her fleeing; after all, she was only fifteen.

How much trouble could she truly cause? What mattered was her unique ability, not keeping her locked up like a prisoner under constant surveillance. Satisfied with his answer, Lillian stepped out into the forest. Watching her retreating figure, Red frowned. "Sir, aren't you worried she might run off?" Richard uncorked a bottle of wine, poured himself a glass, and swirled the deep red liquid thoughtfully. "Red, you're too cautious. She's just a fifteen-year-old girl. What kind of storm could she possibly stir up? Enough of this. Get the workers moving. Mr.

Nicholas will arrive tonight-you go and receive him." - Solara, Light Estate. Sebastian stood silently before the vast floor-to-ceiling window, his gaze fixed on the darkening sky outside. The clouds gathered ominously, mirroring the storm brewing in his mind. "Sir, we haven't learned anything new from her," Foster reported respectfully from behind. "That girl confessed she had conflicts with Ms.

Lillian and admitted to working with those people just to threaten her friends-a petty act of revenge." For over a month, their boss had been relentlessly occupied, rushing between overseas business deals. Under his immense pressure, Sebastian's team had worked tirelessly, as if their very lives depended on it. They had hoped for a moment of calm once he returned and reunited with Ms. Lillian. But instead, trouble had found them-who dared to lay a hand on her? It was utterly shameless. Sebastian's dark eyes flashed with a fierce, almost predatory light. His voice was icy. "Track Richard.

Follow his movements down to the smallest detail." He had considered every angle. Richard was the most suspicious figure in this tangled web. When Richard first investigated Lillian, there had already been subtle signs. - Foster's eyes brightened with sudden realization. "Sir, during our last investigation, we discovered Ms. Lillian had gambled away more than a dozen top-grade ivory pieces in Morovia. Richard's earlier investigation was also linked to her gambling with stones.

Could it be that he brought her along to exploit her abilities?" "The Stint family has been unstable lately, with everyone pursuing their own agendas," Sebastian mused, his tone grim. "If Richard only wanted her for her gambling skills, then he must have a specific purpose in mind." "If I'm correct, he's currently in Morovia." Sebastian's narrow eyes gleamed coldly. "Her talent is extraordinary-too extraordinary. People will always covet someone like her.

Why do I feel more and more like a father fiercely protecting his daughter?" "I'll start the investigation immediately," Foster said hurriedly before rushing out. Sebastian's gaze lingered on the storm-darkened sky, his face etched with worry and determination. Lillian, where are you? Conclusion The chapter closes on a note of quiet tension, capturing the fragile balance between freedom and control that defines Lillian's current predicament.

Her brief escape into the forest symbolizes a yearning for autonomy amidst the watchful eyes that surround her, while Richard's measured tolerance reveals a complex dynamic where power is wielded with subtle restraint. The looming storm outside mirrors the emotional turbulence beneath the surface, hinting at the deeper conflicts yet to unfold. Meanwhile, Sebastian's protective instincts and relentless pursuit of the truth underscore the theme of guardianship and the lengths one will go to shield those they care about.

As the night falls over the mountains, Lillian's solitary walk in the forest may reveal more than just her need for space-it could become a pivotal moment where hidden truths start to surface. Richard's calm demeanor masks a calculating mind, and the tension between caution and underestimation sets the stage for unexpected developments that will challenge the fragile balance of trust within the group. Meanwhile, back at Solara, Sebastian's growing suspicion and protective instincts hint at a looming confrontation.

His relentless pursuit to track Richard's every move suggests that the stakes are higher than ever, and the true nature of Richard's interest in Lillian may soon come to light. The emotional weight of a father's concern intertwined with a strategic investigation adds layers of complexity, leaving readers eager to uncover how these intertwined paths will collide and what consequences will ripple through their lives.
