The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 295 Summary The chapter opens with a heavy atmosphere following a significant event that deeply affected everyone involved. Robert confronts Lyla, expressing disappointment and questioning her judgment, particularly regarding her underestimation of an unnamed woman. Despite his stern tone, Robert reveals his desire for Lyla to marry Sebastian, but only if Sebastian is willing. He emphasizes the importance of strength and security for the Soren family and warns Lyla not to gamble her happiness on fragile love.
Lyla, feeling the weight of her grandfather's expectations, assures him that she can win Sebastian's heart, admitting that her previous impatience was a mistake. Robert softens slightly, explaining that his advice comes from a place of care and pride. He stresses that true security lies in controlling one's own fortune and advises Lyla to walk away if a future with Sebastian seems unlikely. With that, Robert dismisses Lyla and Rowan, keeping Janus behind for a private conversation.
Robert then turns his attention to Janus, his favored grandson, seeking his opinion on Lillian, a woman who had caught their attention earlier. Janus acknowledges that he initially underestimated Lillian but now recognizes her exceptional composure, intelligence, and strategic thinking. He respects her abilities, noting that she stands out even among Kingston's elite, which surprises Robert, as Janus is not easily impressed. The chapter ends with Janus challenging Robert's confidence in controlling Sebastian through marriage to Lyla.
He warns that Sebastian is ruthless and independent, unlike their more obedient relative Rowan, and questions whether Sebastian would comply with Robert's plans. This sets up a tension between family expectations and the unpredictable nature of Sebastian's character. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 295: Mr. Robert's Strategy The events of that night had left an indelible mark on everyone present; the weight of what had transpired hung heavily in the air, though each individual processed it in their own unique way.
Breaking the heavy silence, Robert's voice, roughened slightly by age or emotion, cut through the room. "Lyla," he began, his tone firm yet tinged with disappointment, "do you realize where you went wrong?" Lyla lifted her eyes to meet his, her face serious and tinged with regret. "Grandfather, I'm truly sorry for disappointing you. I misjudged her... and I overestimated my own abilities." Robert let out a sharp, contemptuous snort. "Enemy? If you want to call her that, you'd better make sure he even notices you first." He reclined slightly in his chair, his voice cold but deliberate.
"Yes, I want you to marry Sebastian. But there's one condition: he must be willing to marry you. If he shows no interest, then I will find someone else for you. The Soren lineage must always prove its strength." His words hit Lyla like a sudden gust, leaving her momentarily speechless. She quickly composed herself and responded with urgency, "Grandfather, don't worry. I'm confident I can win his heart. Today, I was simply too impatient." Robert gave a slow, deliberate nod, his tone softening with an unexpected warmth. "Lyla, don't mistake my words for criticism.

Everything I say is for your benefit. You've always been my pride, and I refuse to see you gamble your happiness on something as fragile as love. The only true security lies in controlling your own fortune. Sebastian is a remarkable man, yes, but he's not the only remarkable man in the world. If you don't see a future with him, walk away before it costs you more than it should. The Soren children were never meant to be worn down to nothing. Do you understand?" Lyla nodded with sincere obedience. "Yes, Grandfather. I understand completely.
I won't let you down." Robert waved a dismissive hand, satisfied. "Good. Now, you two leave. Janus, you stay." Rowan cast a brief, unreadable glance at Robert but said nothing. He and Lyla quietly exited the study, leaving the room silent except for the faint ticking of the clock on the wall. Once alone, Robert fixed his sharp gaze on the grandson who had always been his favorite. Janus was bold and unrestrained, his ruthlessness and relentless drive to achieve his goals by any means something Robert admired deeply.
In contrast, Rowan was obedient and steady but far too hesitant for Robert's liking. "What do you make of this girl, Lillian?" Robert asked, his voice low. At first, Janus hadn't given her much thought-just another name, another face. But after witnessing everything that unfolded that evening, he could no longer dismiss her so easily. Images of Lillian kept resurfacing in Janus's mind-the way she carried herself in the casino, calm and confident; how she remained composed despite the ridicule at the banquet, using her sharp intellect and steady hand to turn the situation to her advantage.
That kind of poise under pressure wasn't something just anyone possessed. "She's not to be underestimated," Janus said flatly. "The file might label her as nothing more than an orphan, but her tactics and foresight outshine many of Kingston's so-called elite daughters." Robert, a man rarely taken by surprise, blinked in acknowledgment. His grandson was notoriously hard to impress, so hearing him speak of a girl with such respect was unexpected. "She truly is someone worth watching," Robert admitted quietly. "Now that I think about it, it makes sense.
If she weren't exceptional, Sebastian wouldn't have given her a second glance. It seems Lyla has a much tougher challenge ahead than she ever imagined." Janus slid his hands into his pockets and let out a low, cold chuckle. "Grandfather, the truth is... you've overestimated Lyla or underestimated Sebastian-maybe both. Do you really believe that man can be controlled? That he's like Rowan, who moves only when you command?" He tilted his head slightly, his voice laced with quiet contempt.
"If you've been paying attention to how Empire Group has been run these past few years, you'd know Sebastian is as ruthless as they come. Even I tread carefully around him. Do you honestly think he'll follow your plan and marry Lyla just because you want him to?" Conclusion The chapter closes on a note of tension and cautious anticipation, highlighting the complex dynamics between ambition, control, and the unpredictable nature of love.
Robert's strategic mindset clashes with the emotional undercurrents that Lyla navigates, revealing the delicate balance she must maintain between family expectations and her own desires. His insistence on strength and security contrasts with the vulnerability that love exposes, underscoring the challenges Lyla faces as she steps into a world where power and passion collide. Meanwhile, the subtle acknowledgment of Lillian's unexpected resilience and Sebastian's formidable nature adds layers to the unfolding drama, reminding us that no one in this story is easily controlled or underestimated.
As Robert's strategic expectations weigh heavily on her, Lyla's resolve will be tested in ways she hadn't anticipated, especially as the enigmatic Sebastian remains an unpredictable force. The tension between familial duty and personal desire is set to escalate, stirring a potent mix of hope and uncertainty. Meanwhile, Janus's growing respect for Lillian hints at new alliances and rivalries that could shake the foundations of the characters' carefully constructed worlds.
His skepticism toward Robert's plan and his sharp insight into Sebastian's true nature suggest that loyalties may shift, and hidden motives will come to light.
