Hans’ face stiffened instantly. She had never expected this man to embarrass her so bluntly. She was a top star-wherever she went, she was treated like the center of the universe.
In recent years she had been shining in the entertainment industry, endlessly pursued by powerful men with wealth and influence. Not one of them failed to flatter her. She had never experienced anything like this. Just as Hans stood frozen, unsure what to do-
“And who is this gentleman?” another woman approached. When her eyes fell on Sebastian’s face, she froze, stunned by his looks, admiration flashing in her gaze.
Sebastian was sure-this was the very voice that had triggered the little one’s reaction just moments ago. The woman had long, sleek hair draped over her shoulders, a flawless oval face, large eyes. She wore a pink gown, a full set of diamond jewelry, the very picture of a socialite.
Hans shifted uncomfortably. “This is Mr. Whitmore p>
The woman extended her right hand gracefully, smiling sweetly. “Hello, I’m Chloe, the eldest daughter of Sinclair Group p>
Sebastian gave her a glance but made no reply. Instead, he turned toward Lillian and asked softly, “Do you want to keep looking p>
Only then did Chloe and Hans notice the girl standing behind him. She wore a nude-colored gown, her bearing graceful. Though only her profile was visible, it was enough to stun.
Lillian smiled lightly and shook her head. “No, this one is fine p>
She had never imagined she would run into her dear “sister” here of all places. Truly, enemies always crossed paths. What surprised her even more was that Hans and Chloe turned out to be cousins.
“It’s you!” Hans blurted in shock. She could never forget this girl-the one who had humiliated her outside Skyreach Group, then been escorted away by its three giants as an honored guest. And now she was here, standing with Mr. Whitmore.
The sight felt like an insult. So that was why she had been treated with such respect at Skyreach Group- because she had climbed onto Mr. Whitmore’s high branch. No wonder she was so arrogant.
Lillian turned to Hans with a faint, knowing smile. “So it’s Miss Han, the big star. What a coincidence, running into you here p>
Then she looked innocently up at Sebastian. “Mr. Whitmore, do you know this Miss Hans p>
Sebastian reached out and gently pinched her cheek. “What are you thinking? Having you alone is trouble enough-how would I have time for another woman p>
Lillian nodded thoughtfully. “Oh, I thought you might know her. Though we had a bit of unpleasantness at Skyreach Group last time, I still appreciate Miss Hans’ advice p>
Chloe frowned, glancing at Hans. “So you all know each other p>

Chapter 197 Hans’ Ambition
Finished
Hans forced a smile. “Yes, last time at Skyreach Group there was a misunderstanding. But my advice to this young lady was out of goodwill.
“The entertainment world may seem glamorous, but behind the scenes there are many things outsiders don’t know. She looked so young-I only wanted to remind her to focus on her studies p>
Hans was touched by her own speech. Not only could she show the man her kindness, she could also subtly suggest that this girl, despite her innocent look, was restless and unsteady.
“Is that so? Then thank you, Miss Hans. I suppose to achieve your current status in the industry, you must have witnessed many of those hidden things yourself. Only then could you speak such heartfelt words.” Lillian applauded her with a smile, as if praising a righteous heroine.
Hans’ face flushed red and pale by turns. Her eyes grew wet as she turned to Sebastian. “Mr. Whitmore, don’t listen to her nonsense. Everything I have today, I earned through my own hard work, step by step p>
Then she looked at Lillian, tears brimming like pear blossoms in the rain. “Young lady, you can eat whatever you like, but you can’t just say whatever you please. Today, for Mr. Whitmore’s sake, I won’t hold it against you. But I hope in the future, you won’t say such hurtful words again p>
Hans was truly a born actress. Lillian almost applauded her performance. In just a few lines, she had painted herself as resilient, magnanimous, and wronged, while making Lillian look like the malicious schemer.
