The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 245 Summary In this chapter, Karina explains to Lillian that Sinclair Group, once the dominant pharmaceutical company in Kingston, is struggling due to the nationwide success of Light Pill. The company sees a new formula as their chance to regain their lost status. Lillian, confident in Sinclair's decline without her mother's medical expertise, decides to manipulate the situation by planting Light Herb on a designated land, ensuring the mole within Sinclair remains unsuspected.
Meanwhile, at Sinclair Group headquarters, Henry, the CEO, is thrilled after receiving the stolen formula from their insider. He is eager to have the lab start working on it, hoping this new project will revive the company after months of failures and declining stocks. The formula represents a critical turning point for Sinclair Pharmaceuticals, offering a glimmer of hope amid their struggles. The scene then shifts to a birthday party for Eda, which Lillian reluctantly attends after being persuaded by her friend Natalie.
Lillian is dressed simply and is not enthusiastic about the event, especially since she barely tolerates the host. Natalie, in contrast, is more interested in the social and romantic aspects of the party, focusing on attractive men and food. As they arrive at the villa, a sleek sports car pulls up, and Daylen, impeccably dressed, greets them warmly. Natalie admires Daylen's looks, while Lillian is more cynical about the social dynamics. Inside the villa, the party is extravagant, filled with classmates in formal attire and business guests mingling to make connections.
Daylen explains the social strategy behind such events, emphasizing the importance of networking in high society. After a brief interaction, Daylen leaves to mingle, leaving Lillian and Natalie to navigate the party on their own. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 245: The Mole "Sinclair Group has long held the crown as Kingston's pharmaceutical powerhouse," Karina explained, her voice steady yet tinged with concern. "But lately, their influence has been slipping. The nationwide success of Light Pill has dealt them a severe blow.
This new formula-they see it as their ticket to reclaiming their former glory." Lillian raised one perfectly shaped brow, a flicker of cold amusement lighting her eyes. Without her mother's medical genius supporting their ventures, Sinclair Group's decline was inevitable. A thin, icy smile crept across her lips. "If they're desperate to climb back up, then let's give them the push they need. Make sure the mole stays unsuspecting.
Tell the herbalists to clear a section of land-I want Light Herb planted there." Her words hung in the air like a sudden drop in temperature, sending a shiver through Karina, as though the very atmosphere had grown frigid. After ending the call, Lillian's gaze drifted to the leaves swirling in the breeze outside the window. She narrowed her eyes, a quiet determination settling in her chest. So soon. I really am going back to that place. - Sinclair Group Headquarters, CEO's Office Henry clutched the stolen formula tightly, his eyes sparkling with barely contained excitement.

"Has anyone from Skyreach Group caught wind of the breach yet?" he asked, voice low but urgent. His subordinate bowed respectfully. "Not a word. The formula was taken directly by our inside man and delivered straight here." A triumphant grin spread across Henry's face as he chuckled softly. "Excellent! This is perfect. Inform the lab to start working on the formulation immediately." The man bowed once more before hurrying out of the room. Leaning back in his chair, Henry exhaled deeply. For months, one project after another had crumbled, flaws multiplying, stocks plummeting.
The pressure had been suffocating. But now, with this formula in hand, Sinclair Pharmaceuticals finally had a chance to breathe again. - The weekend had arrived, and Eda's birthday celebration was already in full swing. Lillian had no desire to attend, but Natalie had practically dragged her along. "Lillian, are you seriously going to wear that?" Natalie asked skeptically from the passenger seat. Lillian was dressed simply-a sleek silver sweater hugged her frame, paired with slim black pants and ankle boots.
Natalie, by contrast, had gone all out in a formal party dress, embodying elegance-except for the way she slouched in her seat, which somewhat spoiled the effect. Lillian shot her a sidelong glance and chuckled softly before leaning back to close her eyes. A rare Sunday meant for rest, and here she was, wasting it at a birthday party-worse still, one hosted by someone she could barely tolerate. - About thirty minutes later, their car pulled up in front of a sprawling villa. No sooner had they stepped out than the roar of an engine sliced through the air.
A sleek sports car accelerated and came to a stop right before Lillian. The door swung open, revealing Daylen, impeccably dressed in a black suit, crisp white shirt, and a black bow tie-looking every bit like a prince stepped out of a graphic novel. "Okay, Daylen is seriously handsome," Natalie whispered with a dreamy smile. "Almost as good-looking as Young Master Gong." Lillian rubbed her forehead, exasperated. Natalie's world revolved around two things: food and attractive men. If there was a restaurant worth trying, she'd be there. If a handsome guy was nearby, she'd be watching.
Daylen strode directly toward Lillian, a warm smile playing on his lips. "Seems like fate keeps throwing us together." Lillian smirked. "If that's fate, then Mr. Daylen must have a whole bunch of soulmates." Daylen laughed, clearly unbothered by her teasing. - The group entered the villa. Inside, the atmosphere was dazzling. Normally reserved classmates had transformed-boys in tailored suits, girls in flowing gowns. Beyond them, clusters of guests from Solara's business circles mingled, laughter and polite conversation filling the expansive room.
Natalie leaned close and muttered, "This is way over the top." Daylen smiled knowingly. "It's typical. With Eda's father's position, many people use occasions like this to curry favor. They bring gifts, make connections-it's all about seizing opportunities." Natalie nodded thoughtfully. "Makes sense. In high society, these things are almost expected." Daylen excused himself, needing to circulate among his acquaintances, leaving Lillian and Natalie to explore the party on their own.
Conclusion The chapter delicately unfolds the tension between ambition and loyalty, weaving through the intricate dance of corporate rivalry and personal entanglements. Lillian's steely resolve amid the looming threat to Sinclair Group underscores her complex position-caught between the cold calculations of business warfare and the subtle warmth of unexpected connections. Meanwhile, the shimmering facade of the birthday party contrasts sharply with the undercurrents of strategy and desire, highlighting the duality of appearances and hidden motives.
As the mole's role becomes more pivotal, tensions are likely to escalate, with loyalties tested and secrets threatening to unravel. Lillian's cold determination hints that her return to a familiar, possibly dangerous place will bring both challenges and revelations, stirring emotions she might have thought long buried. Meanwhile, the social scene at Eda's extravagant birthday party offers a stark contrast to the corporate battles, yet it's clear that beneath the glittering surface, alliances and rivalries simmer.
Lillian's interactions with Daylen and the high-society guests suggest that personal dynamics will intertwine with larger power plays, setting the stage for unexpected confrontations and shifting relationships.
