Chapter 104 Sharon’s Past
Back in the car. Lilian had already taken off her hat and sunglasses.
Ryan looked at her and chuckled. “Chairman, you never fail to surprise p>
Lilian shot him a look. “What’s so surprising? I said I’d go, so of course I went p>
Finated
Something clicked in Ryan’s mind. He turned to her. “Chairman, that piece of land Killian won-it looked pretty decent. Why did you let it go p>
A cold smirk tugged at Lilian’s lips. “It was decent. Beautiful setting, great views, perfect for residential development… that is, if you can actually build on it p>
Ryan blinked. “Wait, is there something wrong with the land p>
“Of course not. What could be wrong with land?” she said with a mocking laugh, gazing out the window as the scenery slid past. Yes, she thought. What could possibly be wrong with land?
Meanwhile, in a black sedan-
“Find out everything-who the hell is the chairman of Skyreach Group?” Killian roared. “Some upstart company dares ignore me? I want to know who’s behind this p>
The assistant beside him quickly nodded. “Yes, sir p>
Killian’s frustration had been brewing for days. Ever since that wretched girl saved the old man, nothing had gone his way. First, he was kicked out of Goodman Corp. Then, every attempt to acquire Skyreach Group was met with flat refusal.
And now tonight, a so-called small company had made a fool out of him. That girl-she was his damn. nemesis.
“Hmph. You don’t want to make this easy? Fine. Let’s see who has the last laugh p>
With the auction behind them, there wasn’t much left on Lilian’s plate. Karina and the others were fully capable of handling daily operations, so she turned her attention fully to her studies.
It had been over a month since she last saw Sebastian. They hadn’t contacted each other at all. He was probably busy, and Lilian didn’t make any effort either. After everything she’d suffered in her past life, she was cautious when it came to relationships-maybe too cautious.
Skyreach Group’s name had spread like wildfire after the auction. One by one, its other business divisions were starting to gain traction in Solara.
But Lilian knew her real battleground wasn’t here. It was in that place that had once buried her. So she pushed herself even harder.
November passed in a blur.
In a villa in Solara-
A woman lounged elegantly on the sofa in silk pajamas, sipping coffee. Her makeup was flawless, her beauty sultry and striking.
The door opened.

A man walked in, face grim. Sharon quickly stood and greeted him. “Why so late today p>

Ever since Lilian had sealed Sharon’s voice using acupuncture, she hadn’t been able to speak. It had taken a renowned healer to undo the damage.
Killian’s tone was impatient. “Nothing.
Seeing his dark mood, Sharon didn’t dare ask more. She helped him change out of his shoes and followed him into the living room.
After being expelled by the old man, the two had moved in together. Back when they still lived at the Goodman estate, they had to hide their relationship. Now that they were out, there was no need to pretend
anymore.
Killian slumped onto the couch, his face clouded.
Sharon glanced at him nervously. “What happened? Is it something with the company? Or… is it because of me? Are people talking p>
The truth was, Sharon wasn’t Gordon’s biological daughter. She’d been adopted by the Goodman family- something she’d always known. To secure her place in the family, she got involved with Killian.
But once Gordon started picking up on the signs, he forced Killian to marry Jeremy’s mother and sent Sharon overseas. In the end, Jeremy’s mother uncovered the truth and died depressed and heartbroken.
After her death, Sharon returned from Dracovia and rekindled her relationship with Killian-only for Gordon to find out again. That’s when the two had tried to take him out, but Lilian had intervened and saved him.
Killian’s voice dropped coldly. “Skyreach Group is outrageous. They keep opposing me, like they don’t even see me as a threat p>
He had tried to acquire them and got rejected. Then he’d been humiliated at the auction. After an official appraisal, the land he’d purchased was deemed a bad investment-development costs too high to turn a profit.
Worse, clients who used to work with Million Corp were suddenly jumping ship. A little digging revealed the truth-they were switching to Skyreach Group.
“What? Isn’t Skyreach just some small-time company?” Sharon frowned, clearly unimpressed.
Her life revolved around shopping, beauty treatments, and indulgence. She never paid attention to the business world. Back when she lived in the Goodman estate, she could still manipulate people. But out here, she barely gave things any thought. Killian’s career was something she didn’t even try to understand.
“We’ve lost a ton of clients to them lately,” Killian snapped.
Sharon’s eyes widened. Her voice trembled. “It’s all my fault, isn’t it? If it weren’t for me, none of this would’ve happened. You were supposed to inherit the Goodman family legacy… Maybe you should go talk to your dad. Ask him to take you back. I don’t want to be the reason you suffer p>
She wiped away her tears.
Killian let out a long breath, pushing down his frustration. “Don’t say that. You’ve stood by me for so many years, without even a title. I’m the one who failed you.

No matter what happens, I won’t abandon you. Million Corp might not be as powerful as Goodman Corp. but we’ve still got roots in Solara p>
Sharon looked up, teary-eyed but glowing inside. “As long as you’re not suffering, I don’t care what happens
to me p>
Killian patted her hand gently, eyes dark and sharp. “Don’t worry. I’ll crush Skyreach Group-no matter what it takes p>
