At that moment, overseas-
Inside the conference room of Austine Financial Group headquarters, business elites of all backgrounds sat around an oval table. Black, white, yellow-people of every color, speaking different languages and arguing back and forth. It looked like a miniature global summit.
At the head of the table sat a man, eyes half-closed as he leaned lazily in his chair, as if none of the noise had anything to do with him.
Suddenly, the conference room doors swung open. Foster strode in and leaned down to whisper a few words in Sebastian’s ear. The moment he finished speaking, Sebastian rose and walked out without a word. Foster followed immediately.
The room fell into stunned silence. No one had ever seen this happen before.
In the top-floor office, Sebastian stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his expression dark as he stared out at the city beyond. His voice was ice-cold. “Are we certain it’s the Stint family investigating p>
Foster quickly replied, “Yes. Our people confirmed it. Ms. Lilian was in Morovia, and so was Richard. Something must’ve happened that prompted him to go all out investigating her p>
Sebastian’s deep gaze turned sharp and glacial. “Find out everything that happened to Lilian in Morovia. Richard never acts without something to gain. He must be after something p>
Foster responded respectfully, “Yes. Also… that Miss An still refuses to leave the company. She insists on seeing you p>
A cold smile curved Sebastian’s lips. “A woman who doesn’t know her place-throw her out. And tell her that if she doesn’t walk away, there won’t be an An Group anymore p>
The moment he learned Lilian had been upset because of that woman, he’d fired her on the spot and issued a warning. He hadn’t expected her to be this thick-skinned.
Foster took the order and left the office.
Standing at the window, Sebastian’s expression carried both worry and helplessness. He wanted so badly to keep Lilian by his side, yet he knew he had to let her soar. He couldn’t be selfish-his only option was to protect her as best he could.
Knowing she had gone to Morovia with that Jacob made him want to lock her up and never let her go. But he’d held back. He pulled out his phone, gazing at the photo of her back on Twitter, his eyes softening without him realizing it.
Meanwhile, in the chairman’s office of Skyreach Group
Lilian was also looking at Twitter comments. She’d barely returned from Morovia before Karina and the others ambushed her at the office, claiming that she couldn’t just act like a hands-off boss forever. It was time she contributed something again.
“First time realizing how beautiful Morovia can be p>
“Look closely at the shadow in the photo-that’s a man!
“Were you on vacation with your boyfriend p>

Wayne glanced at his boss’s calm expression and said seriously, “Boss, can we take this more seriously? Your public image represents Skyreach Group. Once your identity is exposed, these posts could become damaging. We can’t just ignore it p>
Karina also looked over the comments, unfazed. “It’s nothing. Free speech is the norm now-we can’t control everything. Smart people don’t believe rumors, and there’s nothing scandalous here anyway. It’s just a photo of someone’s back. No one even knows what Lilian looks like p>
Lilian put down her phone and picked up a mountain of paperwork. “That’s minor stuff-set it aside. Let’s deal with the real company work first p>
Million Corp had been fully absorbed. All its businesses had been rebranded, restructured, and restaffed with fresh talent.
Skyreach Group’s industries were expanding at breakneck speed, and the workload was only getting heavier.
After setting the company’s targets and task allocations for the new year and discussing all upcoming development projects, Lilian got to work on the mountain of documents before her.
Over the past six months, Skyreach Group had seen explosive growth across all sectors. Projects were running smoothly, but the paperwork had piled up. Staring at the towering stack, Lilian could only force herself to stay focused and push through, determined to give it everything she had.
