Chapter 318 Sebastian Shows Off His Love
Finished
The livestream had only just ended when Sebastian turned to Foster and said, “Clip Lillian’s video and send it to my email p>
“Yes, sir. Right away,” Foster replied without hesitation.
Sebastian walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing in the direction of Brookstone High School; his eyes softened with a tenderness that couldn’t be contained. Pulling out his phone, he dialed her number without a second thought.
At that moment, Lillian was walking toward the school gates, backpack slung over her shoulder. She had been in Kingston long enough; it was time to hurry back to Solara.
The moment she heard her phone ring and saw his name on the screen, sweetness bloomed in her eyes; a smile curved her lips. “Didn’t let anyone down. I won p>
Sebastian chuckled, his voice warm. “Yeah, I saw. I’m proud of you. Just a shame I couldn’t be there to cheer you on in person p>
“It’s alright. Just knowing you’re behind me is enough,” Lillian said gently.
“Not enough,” he countered. “I want to be by your side for every important moment from now on p>
Faced with his heartfelt words, Lillian’s smile deepened. “Okay p>
“Where are you? I’ll come pick you up p>
She glanced at the time. “I’m heading back to Solara with my classmates. The SATs are right around the corner; I can’t afford to waste any more time p>
Sebastian frowned at that. “Tell me where you are-I’ll drive you back p>
“No need. You’ve been with me so much lately; you must be falling behind at work. Besides, isn’t there a saying? If love is meant to last, why should we worry about being apart for a while? We’ll see each other again soon p>
Hearing that, Sebastian felt both helpless and pained-helpless at how sensible his little girl was, and pained for the very same reason.
“Be careful, and text me when you land p>
“Yes, sir, Sebastian,” she teased playfully.
After hanging up, Lillian boarded the airport shuttle with her classmates.

Sebastian stared at his phone, shook his head with a helpless smile, and headed straight for the conference room.
The moment he stepped inside, the atmosphere shifted; everyone went tense.
A faint smile played on Sebastian’s lips as he said casually, “Apologies-my fiancée had an important game today, so I’m a little late. Let’s continue p>
Silence followed. The room full of executives blinked in stunned disbelief, as if they’d just been force-fed a public display of affection. The all-powerful head of Empire Group, openly showing affection? Well, you really did live long enough to see everything.
Meanwhile, Chloe returned to the Sinclair villa in a foul mood.
Failing to take the championship had already put her on edge; Lillian’s smug little provocations only made it worse, dragging her emotions straight into the gutter.
When she stepped into the house, the living room was empty except for the housekeeper, who was tidying up.
“Miss,” the housekeeper greeted respectfully.
“Where’s my mom?” Chloe handed over her backpack and asked curtly.
“Madam’s upstairs. She hasn’t come down all day,” the housekeeper replied.
“Upstairs?” Chloe frowned and followed the spiral staircase up. She pushed open the bedroom door-and froze.
The room was a mess, clothes shredded and strewn across the floor like discarded scraps.
“Mom? Mom!” Panic surged as she glanced around, but Vivian was nowhere in sight.
Just then, the closet door swung open. Vivian stepped out, her makeup flawless, her figure accentuated by an ink-patterned cheongsam. Every step exuded a seductive, almost dangerous elegance.
“Mom, are you okay?” Chloe rushed forward.
Vivian stepped past the chaos at her feet, stopping in front of the vanity. Her voice was calm, detached. “Why wouldn’t I be p>
“But… your room…” Chloe’s gaze swept over the destruction; fabric in every color had been torn to pieces.
Vivian’s eyes gleamed with a sharp, almost cruel light as she applied a fresh coat of lipstick in

the mirror. “If I don’t like it anymore, of course, I’ll destroy it; otherwise, how can anything new take its place p>
Her tone was even, almost casual, but it sent an icy chill crawling up Chloe’s spine.
