Rewrite her thrilling life Novel

The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 286 Summary In this chapter, Lyla is surprised by Janus's unexpected concern for a girl he has just met, which contrasts with her belief that her brother rarely dwells on trivial matters. She questions him about his feelings and warns him that as a Soren, family reputation dictates alliances through marriage, not personal choice, cautioning him against unrealistic hopes. Janus counters by pointing out that their grandfather suggested Lyla marry Sebastian, a man she finds remarkable despite initially resisting the idea.

However, learning Sebastian already has a girlfriend, Lillian, stirs jealousy in Lyla. The siblings engage in a tense conversation about Sebastian and Lillian. Janus challenges Lyla's confidence that Sebastian would leave Lillian for her, but Lyla remains steadfast, convinced she is more extraordinary and deserving of Sebastian's love. She believes that despite the Whitmore family's opposition to Lillian due to her background, Sebastian will recognize who truly holds the greatest value for him. Janus, seeing her unwavering certainty, offers a quiet toast and leaves for the ballroom.

Inside the ballroom, the atmosphere intensifies with Sebastian's arrival, accompanied by heirs of powerful families, signaling significant social and political stakes.

When it came to her brother, she had always believed that trivial matters barely registered in his mind. Yet, what caught her off guard was the fact that he had spared a moment's thought for a girl he had only just encountered. "So, you've taken a liking to her?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. Janus didn't answer immediately; instead, he simply shook his head in silence. Undeterred, Lyla's voice took on a cool, measured tone.

"You should understand that being a Soren means carrying the weight of our family's reputation. Our marriages aren't personal choices-they're alliances. If you cling to unrealistic fantasies, all you'll find is heartbreak." Janus lifted the last sip of wine from his glass and met his sister's steady gaze. "Grandfather suggested you marry Sebastian. Are you truly willing to accept that?" A lazy smile played on Lyla's lips. "Why wouldn't I? Sebastian is remarkable, isn't he?" She admitted to herself that at first, she had resisted the idea.

But the instant she saw Sebastian, a spark of excitement-and even a hint of eagerness-had stirred within her. Discovering he already had a girlfriend, however, had sparked a sharp pang of jealousy. "He is remarkable, but Lillian is already by his side. Do you honestly believe you're so special that he'd leave her for you?" Janus pressed, his tone steady and unyielding. Lyla's confident smile deepened, almost daring. "Why not? I don't think I'm any less than Lillian. Sure, she's younger, but I'm convinced she's not as extraordinary as I am.

If I had met Sebastian first, he would have fallen for me first." Her certainty was absolute-something she had always believed deep down. Janus studied his sister's unwavering expression and couldn't resist probing further. "And if Sebastian insists on marrying Lillian? Then what? You'd have no chance at all." "No," she said firmly, shaking her head. "A family like the Whitmores would never let him marry a girl without a proper background. No matter how strong their feelings, it would all come to nothing in the end. The Soren family is different.

I believe Sebastian, as an exceptional heir, will understand who truly holds the greatest value for him." Her voice was steady, confident, almost as if she had rehearsed this conviction countless times. Seeing her blind certainty, Janus chose to say no more. He lifted his glass in a quiet toast. "Well, I wish you the best of luck." With that, he turned and made his way toward the ballroom. Inside, the mood had reached a fever pitch with Sebastian's arrival. After all, the entourage he brought with him included heirs from the most powerful families in Kingston.

Anyone who managed to establish ties with them stood to gain enormous advantages. "Mr. Whitmore, it's truly an honor to have you here," Rowan said graciously as he assisted an elderly man forward. Robert was dressed in a deep-colored jacket adorned with a subtle shimmering pattern, paired with simple black trousers. Though his posture was bent with age, his sharp, piercing eyes seemed to unsettle anyone who met his gaze. Sebastian, holding Lillian's hand gently, stopped before Robert with a faint, courteous smile. "You flatter me, Mr. Robert.

It's rare that I get some free time, so I thought I'd bring my fiancée along for a brief vacation." Robert's keen eyes flicked to the young woman beside Sebastian. He had to admit, she was stunning. "Oh? And when did you get engaged, Mr. Whitmore? None of us had heard a single word about it." Rumors had circulated about Sebastian having a girlfriend, but most assumed it was nothing serious. Judging by his calm and confident demeanor now, this was clearly far from casual. Sebastian looked down at Lillian with an unguarded tenderness that spoke volumes.

"She saved my life, so I gave her mine in return. From the moment we met, she has been my fiancée." His unwavering declaration left no room for doubt-their relationship was not something anyone could interfere with. The people around them were stunned, and Janus and Lyla, standing nearby, heard every word. Conclusion This chapter delicately unveils the intricate web of emotions and expectations that bind the characters, revealing their inner conflicts and desires.
