The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 246 Summary Lillian and Natalie arrived at a lively birthday party, blending into the elegant crowd as they enjoyed some hors d'oeuvres and conversation. Their peaceful moment was abruptly shattered when Adeline, dressed in a glowing lavender gown and surrounded by her clique, sarcastically confronted Lillian. The group mocked Lillian's casual attire and background, belittling her for not fitting in with their high-society expectations.
Despite the harsh insults, Lillian remained calm and unbothered, calmly continuing to eat while Adeline's group grew increasingly frustrated. Natalie, losing patience, fired back with sharp wit, turning their insults against them and exposing the absurdity of their claims about Eda's status. This exchange left Adeline and her friends embarrassed and angry, but Lillian herself stayed composed, refusing to engage further.
Adeline accused Lillian of crossing a line, though Lillian had barely spoken, and Natalie defended her fiercely, pointing out the hypocrisy of being provoked and then scolded for responding. The tension peaked with Lillian delivering a cutting remark about those who make a fuss over dress codes, prompting Adeline to storm off with her entourage. Once the conflict dissipated, Lillian and Natalie relaxed and resumed their friendly chat. The mood lightened further when Daylen joined them, curious about their plans for university.
Natalie enthusiastically mentioned Kingston University, and Lillian agreed thoughtfully, acknowledging the appeal of the capital city of Dracovia. Their conversation hinted at future ambitions and the close bond between the two friends as they looked ahead to graduation. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 246: The Banquet Dispute Lillian and Natalie made their way over to the lounge area, casually selecting some hors d'oeuvres before settling down on a plush velvet sofa. Around them, the room buzzed with the quiet murmur of conversations and the soft clinking of glasses.
Elegant guests in shimmering gowns and sharp tuxedos drifted past like a graceful parade, their laughter and chatter blending into the background as Lillian and Natalie began to chat quietly. Suddenly, a sharp, cutting voice sliced through the atmosphere, dripping with sarcasm. "Well, well, look who decided to show up," it sneered. "At a birthday party, no less-oh, it's Lillian." From the corner of the room, Adeline emerged, clad in a pale lavender dress that seemed to glow under the chandelier's light.
A delicate champagne flute rested in her hand, and she was flanked by a small group of girls, all smirking with a shared sense of superiority. Natalie's patience snapped. "Do you want something?" she asked, her tone edged with irritation. One of the girls curled her lip in disdain. "Lillian, this is Eda's birthday party. Couldn't you at least make an effort and wear something formal?" Another chimed in with a sneer, "I bet she doesn't even own a proper dress. Growing up in some forgotten town, what would she know about parties like this?" "Exactly," a third added.

"If you'd told me earlier, I could've lent you one of mine." Their giggles echoed, sharp and cruel. Adeline's eyes were filled with scorn as she looked at Lillian. But what truly unnerved her was Lillian's complete calm. She didn't flinch or show the slightest sign of being rattled. Instead, she continued eating as if none of their words mattered. Adeline felt a tightening in her chest, frustration bubbling up. How dare this girl remain so composed in the face of their mockery? "Alright, that's enough," Adeline declared, trying to sound magnanimous but failing to mask her condescension.
"Not everyone comes from Eda's background. That's just the reality of things." "Yeah," one of the girls added smugly. "Eda's practically the princess of Solara." Natalie suddenly spat out a mouthful of water, which splattered onto the floor, before breaking into uncontrollable laughter. "Princess of Solara? Oh please, that's hilarious! So, what does that make you? Her servants?" she said, eyes sparkling with mischief. The girls stammered, clearly taken aback. "Y-you're talking nonsense!" they protested. Natalie shot back with mock sincerity, "How is it nonsense?
You just called Eda a princess. Naturally, that makes you her little attendants. It's perfectly logical." Their faces flushed deep red, anger and embarrassment mingling. Adeline snapped, "Lillian, don't you think you're crossing a line? We're classmates, you don't need to humiliate people like this." Lillian raised an eyebrow in surprise. Had she even uttered a single word? From the very start, she had only been quietly eating. Natalie rolled her eyes dramatically. "Are you serious? Lillian hasn't said a thing.
You all came here looking for a fight over and over, and now you're whining because I answered back? What rule says you can provoke us but we can't respond?" The sharpness of Natalie's words left the group sputtering, unable to find a comeback. Adeline's glare hardened as she turned back to Lillian. "We were trying to be considerate. Showing up in casual clothes to Eda's party is an insult." Lillian's eyes grew cold and hard. "Who decided you have to wear a gown to a birthday? It's always the ugly ones who make the biggest fuss. That's you." Adeline's face twisted with fury. "Hmph.
Let's go," she snapped, turning sharply and storming off with her entourage. "There'll be other chances." Once the troublemakers had left, Lillian and Natalie relaxed immediately, resuming their conversation and laughter as if nothing had happened. Natalie rambled on about Joy, her voice light and animated, while Lillian listened quietly, a small smile playing at her lips. Just then, Daylen approached and slid into the seat beside them. "What's so funny?" he asked, curiosity in his eyes. "We're talking about which universities to apply to," Natalie replied. "Ah, right.
Graduation's coming up soon," Daylen said, taking a slow sip of champagne. "So, which schools are you aiming for?" "Kingston University, obviously," Natalie answered without hesitation. In her mind, wherever Lillian went, she'd follow-more people, more fun. Daylen glanced at Lillian, who was still chewing thoughtfully. "Kingston's a great choice. What about you, Lillian? Kingston too?" Lillian finished chewing, then gently wiped her lips with a napkin before responding. "Kingston University.
The capital of Dracovia certainly has its appeal." Conclusion The tension in the room, sparked by Adeline and her clique, ultimately revealed the strength and composure that Lillian embodies. Despite their sharp words and attempts to belittle her, Lillian's calm and unshaken demeanor spoke volumes about her inner resilience. Natalie's spirited defense not only highlighted their bond but also underscored the theme of standing firm in the face of judgment and prejudice.
Their laughter and ease after the confrontation served as a quiet victory, a testament to their ability to rise above petty conflicts and maintain their dignity. As the conversation shifted to the future and dreams of university, the chapter gently closed on a note of hope and possibility. Lillian's thoughtful response about Kingston University hinted at new beginnings and the promise of a fresh chapter in her life. The subtle warmth between the characters, combined with their shared aspirations, painted a picture of friendship and determination that will carry them forward.
The delicate balance between maintaining dignity and standing up to provocation will be tested, revealing new layers to the characters' relationships and their personal resilience. Emotions are likely to run high as Daylen's presence introduces another dimension to the unfolding story-his interest in Lillian's future and choices hints at potential shifts in loyalties and ambitions. The upcoming scenes may explore how these young adults confront their pasts and aspirations amid the glittering yet treacherous world they inhabit.
With graduation looming, decisions about the future will carry weight, and the bonds between friends will be both a source of strength and conflict.
