Chapter 194 An Unexpected Encounter
Finished
Lillian lifted her head and saw the group walking in-it was Evan, along with several others she had once met in Harbortown, including Noreen.
Evan entered, only then noticing the girl sitting beside Sebastian. His eyes lit up as he hurried forward and sat down beside her. “Lillian, you’re here too! You don’t know how many times I’ve tried to find you, but Sebastian would never tell me where you were. What brings you to Kingston p>
The others now saw the girl at Sebastian’s side. A simple black sweater paired with slim trousers. A face exquisitely beautiful, without a trace of makeup.
Her hair was tied in a casual bun, with a few loose strands curling playfully at the sides, making her seem even cuter. They had seen countless beautiful women before, but they had to admit this girl was one of a kind-truly breathtaking.
More than that was the aura she carried. Ethereal, refined, yet unfathomable. Just a glance from her made one feel they couldn’t take her lightly.
“Arrived yesterday. I’m here to handle some matters in Kingston.” Lillian smiled faintly, then turned her gaze to the men staring at her in surprise. Teasingly, she added, “What’s wrong, Mr. Quinn? Don’t recognize me p>
Manny suddenly seemed to recall something. Pointing at her in astonishment, he exclaimed, “You’re that girl from Harbortown two years ago-Lillian p>
She nodded with a smile. “Long time no see. How have you all been p>
Fawks and the others came in and sat down, their eyes widening as they watched Sebastian pour water for her. “Sebastian, is what Manny said true?” one of them asked in disbelief.
Sebastian shot them a cold glance before saying to the girl, “Ignore them. They’re just freeloaders looking for a meal.” His displeasure at the uninvited guests was plain.
It was the first time Lillian had seen this childish side of him. With a soft laugh, she said, “It’s fine. They’re your friends after all. The more, the merrier p>
Then she turned to Fawks and the others. “Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Lillian, Mr. Whitmore’s girlfriend. Of course, if he behaves well, I might even make him official someday p>
Her words left them stunned. Who was Sebastian? A man like a god, the embodiment of power and wealth. His ruthless methods struck fear throughout Kingston. Yet woman after woman still threw themselves at him. And here was this young girl casually saying his status depended on his performance.
Noreen’s eyes darkened. Every word Lillian spoke felt like a deliberate mockery aimed at her, making her feel humiliated.
Sebastian tapped Lillian’s nose with a smile full of affection. “You’re not getting away p>
Lillian shot him a playful glare, ignored him, and picked up her fork to eat the neatly cut steak on her plate.
Sebastian’s gaze lingered on her lively expression, his own features softening with warmth.

Fawks and the others exchanged looks-they didn’t even need food. The dog food being force-fed was enough to fill them.
Noreen, however, could only look on in sorrow. Why couldn’t he see her? They had known each other first. If not for Lillian, surely Sebastian would have noticed her worth. Bitterness and jealousy surged within her.
Still, she forced herself to speak in a gentle tone. “Ms. Lillian, do you still remember me p>
After finishing her bite, Lillian dabbed the corner of her lips with a napkin before looking at her. “Of course. Mr. Whitmore’s childhood friend, Miss Noreen Du. How could I forget? Our first meeting was certainly unforgettable p>
Lillian remembered her clearly. Every gesture had screamed her claim as Sebastian’s childhood sweetheart, her endless superiority on display. Two years had passed, and she had grown more mature, more womanly. But her mind-it seemed that hadn’t changed much.
Noreen’s face paled at her words. She hadn’t expected Lillian to remain so unpredictable. Still, she forced a smile. “That first meeting left me with a strong impression too. Now that you’re in Kingston, perhaps we can go shopping together sometime. Girls always have so much to talk about p>
For the moment, Noreen resolved that she had to build some sort of relationship with Lillian. Only then could she draw closer to the man she longed for.
