The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 293 Summary The waiter, trembling with fear and tears, reveals that a woman ordered him to deliver a bottle of wine and a note to Ms. Harrington, promising him a large sum of money. This revelation shocks Hans and causes a stir among the crowd, indicating that someone has deliberately set a trap targeting Sebastian's fiancée. Sebastian immediately instructs Foster to find out who the woman is, showing the seriousness of the situation.
Lillian, observing the tension, calmly suggests that the mastermind behind the plot is likely still present and watching. She explains her expertise in traditional medicine and reveals a plan to use a special solution that will detect traces of the drug used on Mr. Ryan. Lillian insists on testing everyone to find the culprit, emphasizing her strict approach to justice. Cameron volunteers to test first, confidently dipping his hand into the basin of water mixed with Lillian's solution, which turns electric blue if drug traces are present.
One by one, others follow, with no reaction, while Hans watches nervously, feeling conflicted and anxious. Lillian's sharp smile and taunting words increase the pressure as Hans hesitates before her turn. When it comes to Hans, she freezes, reluctant to dip her hand into the glowing blue water. Lillian mocks her hesitation, implying that Hans is more nervous than the others who have already been cleared. The scene ends with a tense atmosphere, highlighting the fear, suspicion, and determination among the characters as they seek to uncover the truth behind the sabotage.
Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below The waiter's legs trembled so fiercely that he nearly collapsed, his body shaking uncontrollably as tears welled up and spilled down his cheeks. "I'll tell you everything, I swear! It was a woman-she ordered me to hand that bottle of wine to that gentleman over there and to deliver a note to Ms. Harrington. I'm not lying!" His voice cracked under the weight of his fear. Hans recoiled sharply at the revelation, a chill running through him. Around them, whispers rippled through the gathered crowd, like a sudden gust stirring leaves.
Nobody had anticipated this twist-someone had deliberately set a trap targeting Sebastian's fiancée. Whoever orchestrated this was clearly no ordinary adversary. "A woman?" Sebastian's eyebrows knitted tightly, his gaze sharpening. "Yes," the waiter stammered, struggling to steady his voice. "Not very tall... short hair... dressed in a black suit... black-rimmed glasses. She promised me five hundred thousand if I helped her pull it off." Sebastian's face darkened as he turned to Foster.
"Find out who she is." "Right away, sir." Foster nodded and quickly slipped away to begin his investigation. With Foster gone, Lillian scanned the room with a cold, calculating smile curling her lips. "Since someone went to such lengths to plot against me, I doubt they'd just vanish without watching how this unfolds. The mastermind is almost certainly still here, observing this little spectacle." Her voice was calm but laced with a cutting edge. "As you might have noticed, I practice traditional medicine-and, unfortunately for some, I'm quite skilled at it. Given that Mr.

Ryan was drugged, it's safe to assume whoever did this is familiar with that substance." She tilted her head slightly, her tone light yet steely. "Coincidentally, I carry a special solution with me. Anyone who's come into contact with that drug will show traces the moment this liquid touches their skin. So, I apologize, but I have a strict rule: I don't let things slide. If no one admits to it, we'll have to test everyone." "I'll go first," Cameron said without hesitation, stepping forward confidently. "Just tell me what to do." Lillian's lips curved into a polite, almost serene smile.
"It's simple. Just bring me a basin of clean water." "On it. One moment," Cameron replied, hurrying off. Turning to Robert, Lillian's voice softened. "Mr. Robert, I apologize for disrupting your event. It wasn't my intention, but given the circumstances-and since Ms. Lyla insists I owe everyone an explanation-I have no choice. I hope you can forgive me." Robert's expression shifted rapidly, darkening with each passing second. He realized how gravely he had underestimated her. She was courteous yet unyielding, her manner flawless, leaving him no room to argue. "It's fine," he said tightly.
"If someone dares to cause trouble on Soren family grounds, we will get to the bottom of it." He clenched his jaw, struggling to keep his simmering anger in check. Soon, Cameron returned, carefully carrying a basin filled with water. Lillian uncorked a small vial, pouring its contents into the basin. Immediately, the water transformed into a vivid, electric blue. "Alright," she said, straightening up. "Here's how this works: place your hand in the water.
If you've touched the drug, no matter how long ago, the reaction will show." "I'll go first," Cameron repeated, plunging his hand into the basin. He waited a moment before withdrawing it-no change. One by one, others followed suit. Hans watched nervously, eyes locked on the basin as if willing herself to see beneath the surface of the blue liquid. Lyla stepped forward next, dipping her hand in and lifting it out again. She held it up before Lillian, silently asserting her innocence. The line began to shrink as fewer people remained.
Hans started to edge backward subtly, anxiety gnawing at her from within. She wasn't sure if the solution truly worked-but recalling the quiet confidence of that mysterious woman sparked a flicker of false courage inside her. Noticing Hans' restless gaze, Lillian's lips curved into a sharp, almost cruel smile. Finally, it was Hans' turn. She moved forward slowly, her eyes fixed on the glowing blue water. Her hand hovered just above the surface, trembling slightly, frozen by hesitation. Lillian's voice dripped with mockery. "What's the matter, Ms. Hans? Feeling a bit reluctant?
Everyone else here is just as 'precious' as you are-no one's had any trouble so far. Nothing for you to worry about." Conclusion The tension in the room thickened as Hans hesitated, her fear and guilt battling within her. The blue water symbolized more than just a test; it was a mirror reflecting the fragile trust and hidden betrayals among them. As each person's innocence was seemingly confirmed, the weight of suspicion pressed heavier on Hans, exposing the vulnerability that came with secrets and lies.
Lillian's poised yet piercing demeanor underscored the relentless pursuit of truth, reminding everyone that no deception could remain hidden for long in this intricate web of power and obsession. Despite the looming threat and the chilling uncertainty, a quiet resilience began to emerge among the group. Cameron's willingness to step forward first, Lyla's silent assertion of innocence, and even Robert's controlled anger all signaled a collective determination to confront the darkness threatening their world.
Will her reluctance expose her to suspicion, or is there more beneath the surface that even she struggles to confront? The atmosphere thickens with unspoken fears and the weight of impending revelations. Meanwhile, Lillian's calm yet cutting demeanor suggests she is ready to wield her knowledge and influence like a weapon, challenging everyone present and turning the gathering into a high-stakes game of truth and deception.
Sebastian's determination to uncover the mastermind behind the plot adds another layer of urgency, but with so many eyes watching and so many motives lurking in the shadows, the path to the truth is anything but straightforward. Emotions will run high, alliances may be tested, and the delicate balance between trust and betrayal will be pushed to its limits.
