Chapter 242 Daylen’s Confession
48
Finished
Back at school, Lillian poured her energy into studying and managing the company. The strange parasites she had discovered in those black-clad men still weighed heavily on her-she hadn’t yet found a better way to counter them. If such substances ever spread through Dracovia, the consequences would be disastrous.
Natalie nudged her elbow, lowering her voice. “Lillian, aren’t you going to join the national speech competition? I heard Eda is really eager about it p>
Lillian paused her pen. “Competition p>
Natalie blinked, then slapped her forehead. “Right, you weren’t here those days-you had leave. There’s going to be a national speech competition. They say the top three get bonus points on the SAT. Eda signed up right away p>
Lillian twirled her pen between her fingers. “I’ll think about it. I may not have the time. And if it’s national, the finals definitely won’t be in Solara.” Between her workload at Skyreach Group and her studies, she could hardly spare the thought.
Natalie nodded knowingly. “True. They say the finals will be in Kingston. It’d take several days at least. You’d better think carefully p>
At noon, the two of them headed to the cafeteria.
While Natalie stood in line, Lillian scrolled through her phone. Despite her two-year absence, her Twitter followers hadn’t decreased-they had grown. She was stunned. After being spotted at the airport recently, her fans had become even more relentless in their questions.
Suddenly a shadow fell across her. A clear voice rang out: “Lillian, be my girlfriend p>
Startled, she lifted her head. Before her stood a handsome boy whose face looked vaguely familiar. Wait-had she just been confessed to?
The cafeteria fell into stunned silence. Then, in an instant, it buzzed with whispers.
“It’s Daylen p>
“Daylen’s confessing to Lillian p>
“He’s so handsome-almost like Mr. Goodman back in the day p>
“Why can’t I be in his class? It’s not fair-he’s rich, smart, and good-looking p>

Chapter 242 Daylen’s Confession
48
Finished
Before Lillian’s absence, she had been ranked first. But after more than a year away, Daylen had transferred to Riverdale High and taken the top spot.
Daylen smiled slightly at her stunned expression. Truthfully, the first time he had sought her out, it had been because he wanted to meet the girl who had once surpassed him. Though he had been Kingston’s top student, Lillian had beaten his score by nearly twenty points. That had driven him to Solara in his second year, only to discover she was on leave.
Lillian opened her mouth, ready to refuse.
Just then, a gentle voice chimed in, full of surprise and shy delight. “Daylen p>
Lillian turned her head. Of course-it really was impossible not to run into enemies.
Eda stood there in a white dress and boots, topped with a pink coat. She looked the picture of purity.
“Daylen, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here,” she said sweetly.
But Daylen’s gaze was cold. “Do you need something p>
“Pfft…” Natalie couldn’t hold back her laughter. The scene reminded her of their first year, when every challenger who came for Lillian had ended up humiliated. Those days had been
unforgettable.
Eda finally noticed Lillian standing in front of Daylen. Her smile stiffened, but she quickly forced it back into place. “Oh, so Lillian’s here too p>
Lillian gave her a glance, then looked back at her phone without replying.
“Lillian, how rude! Eda spoke to you. Didn’t you hear?” A sharp voice came from a girl standing beside Eda.
Lillian lifted her eyes, her tone cutting. “Is Eda some kind of important figure? Who decided that just because she speaks, I must answer p>
“You-!” The girl flushed with anger.
Without sparing another glance, Lillian picked up her tray and walked off with Natalie to find a
seat.
