Lillian accepted the vial, never imagining that someone had managed to create such a drug. She opened it; inside was a single red pill. Bringing the bottle to her nose, she inhaled lightly. Her expression darkened-this scent… she was sure she had smelled it somewhere before.
Seeing the seriousness on her face, Geo continued, “You can take this pill back with you. I’ve already cleared it through the proper channels. And I believe that if Skyreach Group can make progress in this research, it will benefit your company’s future immensely p>
“Has the Huaguo Research Institute done any work on it?” she asked. Something this sensitive should have been handed directly to the state labs, so the fact that it had come to her was puzzling.
What Geo suggested was tempting. If her team succeeded, the benefits for Skyreach Group would be monumental. Still, Lillian wanted clarity.
Geo let out a deep sigh. “They did. The pill was delivered to the Institute the moment we got it, but their results were… disappointing. I know Skyreach Group’s capabilities. That’s why I personally recommended your company to the higher-ups; I want you to take this on p>
Lillian carefully put the vial away, then smiled. “Thank you for trusting me, Geo. I’ll give you a satisfactory answer; after all, protecting our country is every citizen’s duty p>
Geo laughed heartily. “Good! I knew I wasn’t wrong about you. Then I’ll leave it to you; if you need anything, just say the word p>
After their conversation, Lillian rose and excused herself.
When she returned to the banquet hall, the birthday celebration was already winding down.
She sent a quick message to a certain someone.
Just as she slipped her phone back into her bag, a man walked over with a gentle smile. “Done talking with Grandpa p>
Lillian nodded. “Yes. Tonight was wonderful; thank you for the hospitality p>
“I’m glad. So, when do you plan to head back to Solara?” Cayden asked.
She thought for a moment. “Maybe tomorrow. The SATs are right around the corner; as a test- taker, I should probably hit the books p>
Cayden’s eyes dimmed briefly, then he smiled again. “I almost forgot you’re still in high school. Which university are you aiming for?” Her poise and maturity always made people forget she was still a student.

“Kingston University. It’s the capital’s pride; I can’t help but want to go”

Joy flickered in Cayden’s heart, “Perfect, When you come to Kingston, I’ll show you around, There’s plenty worth seeing”
Lillian didn’t refuse; she smiled softly, “Then I’ll count on you, Mr. Cayden p>
After saying her goodbyes, she headed for the exit-only to run into Stella again.
The young lady stood there, chin high, her entourage clustered at her side. Spotting Lillian, she smirked. “Ms. Sinclair, do you need a ride p>
“That won’t be necessary, we hardly know each other.” Lillian checked the time. If she were wearing sneakers, walking back would’ve been fine; but tonight, in high heels, it was less than ideal.
Stella let out a scornful laugh. “Is that so? Then I guess I was meddling.” Just then, a Ferrari rolled smoothly to a stop in front of her.
She glanced at Lillian with disdain and started toward the car, ready to get in.
From somewhere in the crowd, a low murmur rose, “A custom Rolls-Royce p>
Heads turned at once. A sleek black car glided forward, drawing hushed whispers.
“I remember that model-worldwide limited edition, and only one ever made p>
“Did the Hawk family invite some extraordinary guest tonight p>
“I haven’t heard of anyone special p>
“That car isn’t something ordinary people can own. You’d need wealth beyond measure… and power above all else p>
Every gaze locked on the car; even Stella froze, forgetting all about her Ferrari.
The Rolls-Royce rolled to a halt directly before Lillian.
Stella nearly gaped in disbelief. Wasn’t Lillian just some washed-up, no-name singer?
The driver hurriedly stepped out and opened the door. A pair of long, steady legs emerged; then, from the shadows, a man appeared. The glow of night caught his sharp features, giving him an edge of danger-an untouchable, almost regal presence.
