Chapter 325 The Sinclair Family’s Investigation
Sebastian’s lips curved into a dangerously charming smile. He pressed a button discreetly hidden on the dining table, and with a soft mechanical hum, one wall slid open to reveal a massive screen. Playing on it-crystal clear and impossible to ignore-was the video of last night’s proposal.
Watching the stunned look on her face, he smirked with infuriating confidence. “My dear fiancée, have you already forgotten? You agreed to marry me in front of the entire city. What’s this-trying to play coy now p>
Snapping out of her daze, Lillian leveled a sharp glare at that infuriatingly handsome face, resisting the urge to hurl something at him. “Sebastian, you win. I surrender p>
Looks like I was outmatched; going up against him was a losing battle from the start.
Satisfied by her admission, Sebastian’s expression softened; his indulgent smile was warm enough to melt steel as he lifted her effortlessly and settled her on his lap. “Titles should be made official,” he murmured, voice low and rich, “but between you and me, there’s no winning or losing. If there has to be a loser, it’ll always be me, because I’ve already given my heart to you p>
Hearing the smooth way the words rolled off his tongue, Lillian couldn’t help laughing. “Now I’m convinced last night’s proposal was your idea. All those lines… I bet no one could’ve guessed that the cold, untouchable Mr. Whitmore had such a… romantic side p>
Her teasing clearly pleased him; his smile deepened, soft but undeniable. “Didn’t need lessons,” he said lightly. “I figured it out the moment I met you p>
With the SATs over and most of her obligations settled, Lillian decided it was time to visit Mythic Mountain and spend some time with her mentor. It had been two years since they’d last seen each other.
When she caught the quiet disappointment in his eyes, she leaned in and kissed his cheek, her tone playful and coaxing. “Haven’t you heard the saying? Distance makes the heart grow fonder. If you want me to always look my best in your eyes, a little time apart is necessary p>
Sebastian could only sigh in defeat, his voice tinged with reluctant resignation. “Then I’ll take you back myself-and pay my respects to your master while we’re there p>
Lillian hesitated, then shook her head. “Not yet. My mentor prefers to keep his whereabouts private. And… I’ve made more enemies than I’d like; I don’t want to bring unnecessary trouble to him. When I’ve rooted out every last one of those hidden pests, you can meet him p>
She still hadn’t uncovered who had ordered the attacks on her, or who had slipped Hans that drug or what their true goal had been. The unanswered questions gnawed at her.

Crished
Sebastian reached out and gently rubbed the space between her brows. “No frowning. I told you-I’ll handle everything. Whatever worries you, I’ll take care of it p>
His unwavering gaze, steady and resolute, left her chest warm. “Okay,” Lillian said softly, obediently. She had chosen him; she could allow herself to lean on him, even just a little.
In the end, Lillian boarded the plane to Cedarvale alone.
What she didn’t know was that, at that very moment, a file had ignited chaos within the Sinclair family.
Morgan’s hands trembled as he flipped through the pages, his voice tight with shock. “An orphan. She’s an orphan p>
Henry, standing beside him, nodded gravely. “Yes. The file is accurate. I’ve already sent people to verify it p>
Even he had been stunned when he’d first seen the report. If being an orphan was just a coincidence, then why was there no information about her before the age of eight? And what rattled him even more was that the girl was none other than the legendary Maiden Healer of Solara’s high society.
That revelation made his mind race. He couldn’t help but think of Catherine-her unparalleled brilliance in medicine, her effortless mastery, her rare gift.
One coincidence was one thing; but this many, stacked one on top of the other was Impossible to ignore.
Morgan’s expression grew darker, more intense, as his eyes locked on the file for a long, heavy ten minutes before he finally spoke. “Where is she now p>
When he’d first seen her face, he’d been only fifty percent certain. But now… now he had no doubt. She had to be Lillian.
There was no such thing as a coincidence. Not with a face so strikingly similar. Not with that innate gift for medicine, one that, if he were honest, might have even surpassed Catherine’s.
The thought left him shaken and exhilarated.
