The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 88 Summary Lilian, now proudly wearing her cherished diamond, continues exploring the city with Karina until nightfall before returning to the Lincoln estate. Upon entering, she senses tension but finds the atmosphere softening as she joins the family for dinner. Mr. Quinton warmly welcomes her, expressing gratitude and concern for her well-being after a long day of walking. After the meal, Lilian gives Mr. Quinton a bottle to aid Jimmy's recovery and prepares to leave the next day. In appreciation, Mr.
Quinton hands her a check for fifty million, which surprises Lilian but she accepts it with a playful smirk. The mood shifts when Justin addresses his sister Misty's earlier rude behavior toward Lilian. Misty refuses to apologize, leading to a heated confrontation where Justin slaps her and demands respect for Lilian. Despite the family's earlier hostility, Justin and Rona plead with Lilian to save Barry, their father. Lilian agrees but demands ownership of Wings Corp in return, a company with valuable land she has been eyeing.
Justin is surprised by her request but agrees to transfer the company the next day. With the deal settled, Lilian retreats upstairs, already planning her next moves. Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Now the proud owner of his cherished diamond, he asked Lilian to help him fasten it around his neck right then and there. After visiting several more picturesque spots, Karina finally sent over the documents that Lilian had requested. As Lilian skimmed through the details on her phone, a knowing and meaningful smile slowly spread across her lips.
They continued their exploration of the city, wandering through bustling streets and quiet alleys alike, until the sun dipped below the horizon and night settled in. Eventually, they made their way back to the Lincoln estate. The moment Lilian stepped inside, she immediately sensed the thick tension lingering in the air. Yet, as soon as she crossed the threshold, the atmosphere visibly softened, and everyone seemed to relax. "Lilian, you must be exhausted after all that walking," Mr. Quinton greeted her warmly, his voice gentle.
"Everyone's been waiting for you to join them for dinner." Lilian returned his smile. "Mr. Quinton, I should have called to let you know. It was thoughtless of me to keep you waiting." He chuckled kindly. "Nonsense. You're young, and it's your first time in Sandy River. I should have arranged someone to show you around. That was my oversight." "I actually prefer wandering on my own," Lilian replied with casual ease, shrugging slightly. "Well then, let's eat," he said, taking her arm softly and guiding her toward the dining room. The others followed quietly behind them.

The table was already set, the food steaming and ready. A heavy silence settled over the room; no one spoke, and only the faint clinking of cutlery broke the stillness. After the meal, Lilian pulled a small bottle from her bag and handed it to Mr. Quinton. "This is for Jimmy. It should help speed up his recovery. I'm leaving tomorrow." Without hesitation, Mr. Quinton accepted the bottle. "Lilian, I can't thank you enough. If you ever need anything-anything at all-and I can help, just say the word." He gave a subtle nod to the butler, who promptly brought over a check. Mr.
Quinton placed the check in Lilian's hand. "A small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. And when you return, give Leonard my regards. Tell him I'll visit when I can." Lilian glanced down at the check-fifty million. She blinked, momentarily caught off guard by the staggering amount, then raised an eyebrow with a playful smirk. "Mr. Quinton, your grandson sure is expensive." He laughed heartily. "You cheeky girl. Go on, take it. Your skills are worth every cent." "Well then, I won't be polite about it," Lilian said, tucking the check away with a satisfied grin.
Seizing the moment, Justin spoke up. "Miss Lilian, my sister said some very thoughtless things earlier. I hope you'll forgive her. She truly regrets it." Lilian glanced toward Misty and gave a cold, sharp smile. "Really? She looks more like she's chewing glass than feeling remorseful." Misty bit her lip, lowering her head. Fury simmered beneath her skin. If it weren't for Dad needing this woman, she'd never stoop so low. To her, Lilian was nothing more than a backwater tramp. "Misty," Justin snapped sharply. "Apologize. Now." "I won't!" she shouted, glaring fiercely at him.
"Why should I apologize? I'm the Lincoln family's young miss, and she's just some nobody! Why should I lower myself?" Justin's disappointment was clear and heavy in the air. Without warning, he slapped her across the face. "Without the Lincoln name, you're nothing. Stop acting like royalty." Misty gasped, clutching her cheek in shock. "You hit me? For her? I hate you!" She spun around and fled the room, tears burning in her eyes. Lily, watching her daughter storm away, smiled faintly-a smile no one could quite interpret. Justin turned back to Lilian, his expression apologetic.
"Please don't take her words to heart. I truly hope you'll consider saving my father. Name your price-anything." Rona stepped forward, her eyes red and glistening. "Lilian, please. It was all our fault. I'm begging you. Save Barry." Lilian paused, considering for a moment before looking Justin in the eye. "Fine. I'll save him. But I want Wings Corp." She wasn't a saint. If she was going to help the very people who had insulted her, she wasn't going to do it for free. Besides, the three plots of land she had taken an interest in were all owned by Wings Corp. Justin stared at her, stunned.
He couldn't understand why a girl like her would want a real estate company, but considering Wings Corp's struggling valuation and those few undeveloped lots, he didn't think much of it. "Deal. Tomorrow, I'll transfer everything. Once it's done, please help my father." With her goal secured, Lilian didn't linger. Offering a casual excuse, she headed upstairs to rest, her mind already racing with plans for what was to come.
Conclusion The chapter closes on a complex blend of tension and tentative alliances, with Lilian firmly asserting her worth amid the fractured dynamics of the Lincoln family. Her pragmatic decision to demand Wings Corp in exchange for saving Barry reveals her shrewdness and strength, refusing to be a mere pawn in their power struggles. The emotional undercurrents-Misty's bitterness, Justin's frustration, and Lilian's quiet confidence-paint a vivid portrait of a woman navigating a world that both underestimates and depends on her.
