In the second-floor study of the Austin Estate, Sebastian sat at his desk, staring coldly at the documents Foster had just handed him. “Is the information accurate p>
“It is,” Foster replied. “Skyreach Group was indeed founded by Ms. Lilian. It has several subsidiaries, each led by different directors. Ryan and Wayne recently joined the company.
“But this Karina person has been following Ms. Lilian for quite some time. I looked into her- she’s made numerous large investments in the securities market over the past five years.
“Her timing has been impeccable. Every time, she’s made significant profits. She’s accumulated an impressive amount of capital, and she’s very mysterious-there’s no trace of her in any records. It’s possible her files were erased.
“If Ms. Lilian is her superior, then it’s likely all of Karina’s past moves were orchestrated by Ms. Lilian behind the scenes p>
A cold gleam flickered in Sebastian’s deep-set eyes as he stared at the curved HD LCD screen mounted on the wall. Displayed was a photo of Lilian stepping out of Jeremy’s sports car.
Sensing the chill radiating from the man, Foster quickly added, “I’ve already had this investigated. Ms. Lilian did treat the old man from the Goodman family. After that, a huge change occurred—the heir shifted from the eldest son to the eldest grandson, Jeremy.
“Then Gordon gave Ms. Lilian twenty percent of the company shares. We’re still looking into the reason behind that p>
“No need.” Sebastian’s voice was hoarse and low. “Just focus on how many of those old bastards they’ve bought off. Speed it up. I’m out of patience. Everything must be settled this week p>
“Yes, understood,” Foster answered at once, then left the study.
Sebastian gazed at the most recent photo of the girl clipped to the documents. A soft, doting smile formed in his eyes.
“This little thing… I really did underestimate you p>
On Sunday, when Lilian arrived at the Shanks family estate, luxury cars were already lined up outside.
The Shanks family was one of the most prestigious in Solara. Mr. Austin had spent a lifetime as

an educator and had mentored many talented individuals, earning widespread respect across the city.
Inside the banquet hall, everything was elegantly arranged. A grand crystal chandelier hung down from the second floor, and the long dining table was covered with all kinds of pastries, wine, and drinks.
Clusters of guests stood around, laughing, chatting, and toasting.
As Lilian stepped in, a voice exclaimed, “Wow, Lilian! You look gorgeous tonight p>
Natalie and Rina came up to her, each hooking an arm around hers with playful affection.
“I thought you weren’t coming! I was worried sick,” Rina said, pouting.
Lilian smiled. “I told you I’d come. I keep my word p>
“Come on, I’ll take you to see my parents. They were just talking about you,” Rina said, pulling her toward the inner part of the hall.
Several well-dressed ladies were standing near Madam Tina, chatting idly.
“Madam Tina, where did you get your facial done? Your skin looks incredible,” one of them said.
The others chimed in, “Seriously! I meant to ask as soon as I saw you. You look so much younger. What’s your secret p>
Madam Tina smiled modestly, just as Rina and Lilian walked over. “You were asking how I’ve been looking younger lately, right? Well, here she is p>
Rina, Lilian, and Natalie approached.
“Mom, I brought Lilian like I promised,” Rina said with a grin.
Madam Tina lightly tapped Rina on the forehead, then took Lilian’s hand with a warm smile. “I’ve finally got you here. Didn’t you say you’d visit more often? You forgot that pretty quick p>
Lilian looked a little embarrassed. “Things have been really busy lately. How have you been feeling p>
“Fantastic! I feel full of energy,” Madam Tina said excitedly. “That medicine you gave me is incredible p>
She turned to the women around her. “You were just asking how I look so young, right? It’s all thanks to the medicine Lilian gave me. I’ve only been taking it for a little over a week, and look at the results p>

“Sweetheart, can we take that medicine too p>
To upper-class women, money wasn’t the priority-youth and beauty were their obsessions.
Lilian remained calm. “Of course. It’s all traditional herbal medicine, so it suits any body type. It also helps slow down aging p>
The moment they heard it could delay aging, they got even more excited, firing off questions one after another. Lilian answered each one patiently.
“I’ve already handed the formula over to Skyreach Group Pharmaceuticals. Once it’s in mass production, I’ll send each of you a bottle p>
They were thrilled to hear it and wanted to keep asking questions, but Rina tugged Lilian away.
“Sorry, Grandpa wants to see Lilian. I’m taking her over now,” she said, pulling Lilian and Natalie along with her.
Mr. Austin was dressed in a wine-red suit, chatting energetically with guests. He looked fresh and spirited. Houston stood beside him, politely greeting visitors.
Rina led Lilian over. “Grandpa, look who’s here p>
