The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 75 Summary At a lively party filled with dancing and music, Natalie and Kelvin enjoy themselves on the dance floor, while Lilian and Jill retreat to the quieter lounge area. Lilian, who appreciates good food despite her complex past, is soon joined by Yulia, a woman she knows well and regards with a mixture of grudging respect and suspicion. Yulia offers a drink as a gesture of apology, but Lilian senses something off about it.
Despite Jill's urgent warning not to drink, Lilian accepts the glass and drinks it calmly, maintaining an air of control and curiosity about Yulia's true intentions. After Lilian finishes the drink, Yulia's outward charm slips briefly into a sinister sneer once she leaves the room. Jill voices her fears about Yulia's possible schemes, but Lilian dismisses them confidently, intrigued by the unfolding situation rather than worried. The party continues late into the night, and although Jill offers to escort Lilian home, Lilian declines, knowing the real challenges are just beginning.
As Lilian walks alone through the quiet, affluent neighborhood, the sudden screech of tires signals an unexpected encounter. A black car stops abruptly, and men in suits emerge, ready to take her to their employer. Lilian meets them with calm amusement and willingly gets into the car, surprising the men with her compliance. Nearby, Unno watches the scene unfold, torn between following Lilian's orders not to interfere and his own anxiety about potential danger, uncertain of what to do next.
Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below As they stepped through the entrance, the party was already alive with energy. Groups of young people swirled around the dance floor, their laughter and music blending into a lively symphony. Natalie and Kelvin had already joined the throng, their faces bright with joy as they moved rhythmically to the beat. Meanwhile, Lilian and Jill, who were less enthusiastic about dancing, decided to retreat to the lounge area. Lilian, despite having lived through two very different worlds, still held an unwavering appreciation for good food.
The aroma of the appetizers and the soft lighting of the room offered a comforting contrast to the noisy dance floor. Just then, a figure approached-one that Lilian recognized instantly. A soft chuckle escaped her lips as Yulia came into view. With a warm smile, Yulia greeted them. "Lilian, do you mind if I join you?" Without waiting for an answer, she slid into the vacant seat beside them. Lilian responded with a small, amused smile. "You're already sitting down, so does it even matter if I mind?" Deep down, Lilian couldn't deny a grudging respect for Yulia.
She had an uncanny ability to adapt to any situation, gracefully bowing or standing tall as circumstances demanded, all while maintaining that ever-present smile. The saying "don't hit a smiling face" seemed tailor-made for her. No matter how tense things had become between them, Yulia always managed to approach with the same cheerful mask-just as she was doing now. Yulia, unfazed by Lilian's tone, returned the smile sweetly. "Lilian, this drink is on me.

For all the mistakes I made before, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me." She placed one of the two glasses in front of Lilian and then swiftly downed the other herself in a single gulp. Lilian's eyes lingered on the rich crimson liquid before her, a faint, icy smile playing at the corners of her mouth. Under the soft, dim lighting, the wine shimmered with a seductive red glow. Yet even without raising the glass, a subtle, suspicious scent hinted that something was amiss. Slowly, she lifted the wine, swirling it gently as her gaze locked onto Yulia's.
"Are you sure you want me to drink this?" she asked calmly. Yulia's expression tightened for a moment. "Absolutely. This is my way of making amends. Drink it, and we can call it even." Lilian's eyes darkened slightly as she examined the glass, bringing it closer to her nose. Before she could respond further, Jill leaned in urgently, her voice low but tense. "Lilian, don't drink that! Who knows what she's planning?" With a serene smile, Lilian brushed off the warning, offering Jill a reassuring look. "It's alright. Ms. Yulia put a lot of thought into this gesture.
How could I possibly let her down?" Without hesitation, she tipped the glass back and swallowed the wine in one smooth motion. After finishing, she flicked the glass lightly with her wrist, twirling it with an effortless grace. Yulia visibly relaxed as Lilian finished the drink. Her smile returned-polished, harmless, and perfectly practiced. "Thank you, Lilian, for your willingness to forgive me. I'll head back to the ballroom now." She rose and walked away, but the moment her back was turned, her face twisted into a sinister sneer. Her eyes gleamed with something far darker than before.
Once Yulia had disappeared from sight, Jill turned to Lilian, panic evident in her voice. "How could you drink that? She definitely has some scheme in mind." Lilian chuckled softly and waved off Jill's concern with a casual hand gesture. "It's fine. Whatever she slipped into that wine won't affect me. But I admit, I'm curious to see what she's plotting this time." Then, as if nothing had happened, she returned to her plate, calmly eating her food. The party stretched on well into the night before gradually slowing down. Guests began to leave one by one.
Jill offered to escort Lilian home, but Lilian declined firmly. The real game was only just starting, and she wasn't about to miss a moment of it. She strolled leisurely down the quiet street. The Ginger family estate was nestled in an affluent neighborhood, so traffic was sparse. The road was empty, flanked by tall trees whose rustling leaves whispered eerily in the cool night breeze, casting long, ghostly shadows that added a chill to the air. Suddenly, the sharp screech of tires shattered the silence.
Lilian turned toward the sound of a car rushing toward her, a mocking smile curling on her lips. A sleek black vehicle came to an abrupt stop in front of her, and several men dressed in black suits emerged swiftly. She met their gaze with cold amusement flickering in her eyes. Well, they hadn't disappointed after all. "Alright," she said calmly, her voice steady. "Take me to your employer. Let's see what tricks she's got planned this time." Without hesitation, she climbed into the car. The men froze momentarily, caught completely off guard by her compliance.
None of them had expected things to unfold so smoothly. Hidden in the shadows nearby, Unno watched the car disappear into the night. He hesitated, unsure whether to report back. Ms. Lilian told me not to interfere, he thought anxiously. But what if something really goes wrong? What will I say then? Conclusion The chapter closes on a tense yet poised moment, where Lilian's calm acceptance of Yulia's seemingly conciliatory gesture masks an undercurrent of suspicion and readiness.
Despite the apparent peace offered by the shared drink, Lilian's sharp intuition and composed demeanor suggest she is fully aware of the complexities at play. The delicate dance of trust and deception between the two women underscores the chapter's exploration of power, forgiveness, and the subtle battles fought behind polite smiles. As the night deepens, Lilian's choice to face the unknown head-on, stepping willingly into the hands of her adversaries, reveals her resilience and strategic mind.
As she willingly steps into the unknown with the mysterious men, readers will be drawn into a tense atmosphere where trust is fragile and every move could tip the balance between control and chaos. The subtle power plays hinted at in the last scene suggest that Lilian's calm exterior may soon be tested in ways that challenge not only her wit but also her resolve. Meanwhile, the lingering presence of Yulia casts a shadow over the unfolding events, her true intentions veiled behind that ever-present smile.
The emotional undercurrents between these two women are poised to intensify, promising moments charged with both confrontation and unexpected revelations. As the night deepens, so too will the stakes, leaving readers eager to uncover what hidden motives and secrets will come to light next.
