The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 55 Summary After the eldest son angrily storms out and Gordon makes his stern position clear, the rest of the Goodman family quietly leaves, leaving only Jordan behind, who is tearful and desperate. He pleads with his father to make Lilian fix the damage she caused, but Gordon coldly dismisses him, expressing disappointment and suggesting that Jordan's broken state might prevent further harm. Jordan leaves with hatred in his eyes, slamming the door behind him.
Lilian mocks the family's turmoil and refuses to accept the twenty percent stake offered by Gordon. He admits giving it to her for selfish reasons, believing only someone like her can handle the future challenges of Goodman Corp, especially given his eldest son's dangerous nature. Lilian challenges his confidence in her loyalty but does not elaborate. She then gives Gordon a medicine she developed to help him recover and warns him to handle his family affairs carefully in the future. As Lilian leaves the estate, she encounters Jeremy, a polite young man who offers her a ride.
During the drive, Jeremy thanks her for saving his grandfather and for not pressing charges against his father and aunt. Lilian remains cool and warns that she will not be so forgiving if they cross her again. Upon arriving at the city center, Lilian asks to be dropped off at the mall to buy essentials for Sunny, declining further interaction with Jeremy to protect her peaceful school life. Unbeknownst to Lilian, a group of jealous girls across the street watch her every move with bitterness and resentment, hinting at future tensions.
Lilian's calm and composed exterior masks a fierce and unyielding spirit, setting the stage for ongoing conflicts. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 55: Not Meant for the Ordinary After the eldest son had stormed out in a fury and Gordon's stern stance became unmistakably clear, the rest of the Goodman family, though visibly displeased, dared not utter another word. One after another, they quietly filed out of the room, leaving only a heavy silence behind. Only Jordan remained, his voice trembling as tears streamed down his face.
"Dad, you don't even understand what that girl did to me-she destroyed everything! You have to make her fix this!" His desperation was raw, his pain laid bare. Gordon's eyes narrowed as he looked at his son, a mixture of sorrow and revulsion flickering across his face. Once, he had taken immense pride in his power and the legacy he was building, but now, looking at sons like Jordan, he felt nothing but bitter disappointment. With a cold, biting tone, he said, "If you can't keep yourself in control, maybe it's better that you've been broken.
At least you won't be out there causing harm to anyone else." He dismissed Jordan with a wave of his hand, his voice final and unforgiving. Jordan understood that his father's words were absolute-there was no room for argument or appeal. His eyes burned with hatred as he cast one last venomous glare at Lilian before slamming the door behind him, the sound echoing sharply in the tense room. Lilian's expression was one of pure mockery, a faint smirk playing on her lips. She then turned to Gordon, her voice light and steady. "Mr. Gordon, I cannot accept the twenty percent stake.

Now that you've settled your family issues, we can consider this matter closed." Gordon let out a weary chuckle, shaking his head slightly. "You should keep it, Lilian. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be lying next to my wife right now. No amount of money could ever repay that. And, to be honest, I gave you that stake for selfish reasons. You're not an ordinary person. There may come a time when Goodman Corp faces challenges only someone like you can handle. My eldest son is intelligent, but twisted.
I fear this isn't the end of our troubles." Lilian arched an eyebrow, a sly grin tugging at the corner of her mouth. "Well, aren't you clever? No one's ever tried to size me up like that before. What makes you so sure I'd want to help Goodman Corp when the time comes?" Gordon simply smiled, choosing not to answer. Without pressing further, Lilian reached into her bag and pulled out a small bottle of medicine, handing it to him. "This is a formula I developed myself. Focus on getting better-your family's chaos is still your burden to bear.
Since you've handled things cleanly this time, I'll let it slide. But if there's a next time, I won't be so forgiving. And about that twenty percent-you might want to reconsider." Without waiting for a response, she gently lifted Sunny into her arms and headed toward the door. Gordon watched her leave, a quiet certainty settling over him. Lilian was destined for greatness. With her healing talents, keen instincts, and ruthless streak when necessary, she was someone who would shine brightly in any arena she entered.
As Lilian descended the grand staircase, the rest of the family had already vanished from the estate. Stepping outside into the crisp evening air, she noticed a sleek Ferrari pull up smoothly to the curb. The window rolled down, revealing a handsome young man with a polite smile. "Ms. Lilian, may I give you a ride back?" Jeremy's voice was gentle and respectful. She had noticed him the moment she arrived at the Goodman estate. Her heightened spiritual awareness left nothing hidden from her perception.
She also recognized Jeremy as the same boy who had caused quite a stir during his visit to her school. After a brief moment of thought, Lilian stepped into the car. A free ride was a free ride-there was no reason to pass it up. Jeremy kept his eyes on the road, but even without turning, Lilian's presence was impossible to ignore. Earlier that day at the estate, she had appeared calm and composed, but anyone who dared to cross her had faced swift and merciless consequences. She wasn't interested in power or status. If you stayed out of her way, she'd barely notice you.
But the moment you challenged her, she'd make sure you regretted it immediately. She seemed mature beyond her years, yet beneath that poised exterior was a girl who never let grudges fade. After a brief silence, Jeremy spoke. "Lilian, thank you for saving my grandfather. And thank you for not pressing charges against my father and aunt. I know you did it out of respect for him, but I still wanted to say thank you." Lilian's tone was cool and measured. "There's no need to thank me. Since your grandfather removed them from the Goodman family, I've received the justice I sought.
But if they come after me again, I won't be so lenient. And next time, I'll be adding that to the bill." Jeremy said nothing more. He understood she was unlike any wealthy girl he had ever met. She had her own set of values and principles, and once her mind was made up, no one could sway her. Soon, they arrived at the city center. Since it was the weekend, Lilian decided to pick up some essentials for Sunny. She asked Jeremy to drop her off in front of the mall. As the car came to a stop, Jeremy turned to her with a gentle expression.
"If you ever need help at school, don't hesitate to ask." Lilian said nothing in response. She unbuckled her seatbelt, stepped out of the car, and walked straight toward the mall without glancing back. To her, boys like Jeremy were best kept at arm's length. With his popularity and devoted fanbase, even a whisper of gossip could shatter her peaceful school life. What Lilian didn't notice, however, was that across the street, a group of girls had been watching everything unfold. Their faces twisted with envy and bitterness, their teeth clenched so tightly it was a wonder they didn't crack.
Their eyes burned with resentment as they watched Lilian's every move. Conclusion This chapter delicately unfolds the complex dynamics within the Goodman family, revealing the fractures beneath their polished exterior. The emotional turmoil of Jordan contrasts sharply with Gordon's cold pragmatism, highlighting a legacy marred by disappointment and harsh truths. Lilian's poised yet unyielding presence stands as a beacon of strength amid the chaos, embodying resilience and a fierce sense of justice that sets her apart from the ordinary.
