Lilian had no idea what was happening outside the room. At that moment, she was locked in a stare-down with Sunny.
“You’re such a liar,” Sunny grumbled, voice full of grievance. “You said you’d take me out to play. You lied p>
Lilian lay on the bed, scrolling through her phone while casually replying, “I told you to stay home, but you insisted on coming with me to Sandy River. I haven’t even had a moment to rest since I got here. How am I supposed to take you out p>
Sunny huffed, sprawled out beside her, and muttered, “Then don’t put me with that dumb mosquito. I want to stay with you p>
Lilian nodded. “Fine. But don’t run off. If you get lost, I’m flying back without you and I’m not coming to find you p>
“Hmph! Like I’d ever get lost,” Sunny shot back proudly. Then, ignoring her, he turned away and went off to play by himself.
Just then, Lilian’s phone rang. It was an unknown number. She picked up. “Hello? Who is this p>
“Lilian, it’s me p>
Sebastian’s deep, magnetic voice came through the phone.
Her heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, it felt like he was whispering directly into her ear again, like that day he held her close.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Sebastian’s rich voice came again.
“Nothing. Just… it’s so late. Why aren’t you resting yet?” she asked, her voice soft and clear.
Hearing her voice, Sebastian’s dark eyes grew gentle. “Work’s not done yet. I missed you… just wanted to hear your voice. What about you? Did you miss me p>
A blush instantly crept up Lilian’s cheeks. She stammered, “I-I-who said I missed you p>
Sebastian let out a low chuckle at her bashful tone.
“Sebastian! Stop laughing or I’m hanging up!” she snapped, flustered.
He held back his amusement. “Lilian, when are you coming back p>
She paused, brows lifting. “Sebastian, how do you know I’m not in Solara? Are you tracking me p>
“Lilian, you matter more to me than my own life. I need to know where you are. I don’t want what happened last time to ever happen again. I won’t interfere with your life, but at the very least, let me know where you are p>
His words sent warmth coursing through her. A complicated mix of emotions filled her chest. She knew she couldn’t say no to this man-not anymore. No matter how much pain she’d endured in her previous life, she had still fallen for him, deeply and completely, tangled in the web he’d spun.

His voice was steady, firm. “Lilian, I, Sebastian, would rather betray the whole world than ever betray you. You’ve become my weakness, and I’ll do everything I can to protect you and make sure you live a life of peace and joy p>
Morning in Sandy River carried the scent of dew.
Lilian had originally planned to return home today, but after Sunny’s constant nagging, she decided to take him around the city. After all, it wasn’t every day they visited.
It was still early when she came downstairs. No one else was around. After breakfast, she left the house.
For once, she had some time to relax. She took the bus into town. Sandy River still hadn’t fully developed- housing prices weren’t through the roof yet.
Thinking about how much the area would grow in the next couple of years, she had Karina look into which real estate companies owned the undeveloped land. Once that was done, she continued shopping with Sunny.
Eventually, the two ended up at Rainbow Bridge Plaza.
The moment they entered the mall, Sunny darted off like a wild child, zipping through the corridors before stopping in front of a jewelry store. He called out to Lilian excitedly.
She trudged over, poking his cheek. “You’re supposed to be a little fox. What are you doing at a jewelry store p>
“I want it. I want it,” he whined, eyes locked on something inside.
With a sigh, Lilian followed him in. The little fox seemed unnaturally obsessed with diamonds, barking excitedly at one in particular.
She asked the clerk to bring out the ring Sunny had fixated on. Holding it in her hand, she examined it while Sunny nudged her over and over. “That one! I like that one! I want it p>
Just as she was about to pay, a hand snatched the ring from her.
“Baby, I want this one,” a woman’s sugary voice cooed.
Lilian turned to see a tall woman clinging to a man’s arm, holding up the ring like a trophy.
The man looked like a nouveau riche caricature. “Sure, baby. Whatever you want, you get p>
The woman smiled coyly. “I knew you loved me best p>
Then she turned to the clerk. “Wrap it
up
for me. Thanks p>
The clerk looked completely mortified.
Lilian walked over and yanked the ring out of the woman’s hand. “I believe I saw this first. Ever heard of first come, first served p>

The woman scowled-until she got a good look at Lilian’s face. Instantly, jealousy flared in her eyes. “Oh really? Who saw you? If no one witnessed it, then it’s mine p>
Lilian let out a cool laugh. “This store has eight security cameras. Every one of them records in 360 degrees. You really think your little act wasn’t caught on video? Brains are a good thing. Try using yours p>
The woman’s face darkened with rage. “So what? Do you even know who I am? How dare you try to take something I want p>
“Oh?” Lilian raised an eyebrow, her tone light. “And who are you, exactly? Enlighten me. I’d love to witness firsthand the etiquette of a so-called heiress p>
“You-” The woman was speechless, stuck between lashing out and staying composed. Flustered, she turned to the man. “Garrett, she’s bullying me and you’re just standing there p>
Garrett had been staring at Lilian the entire time, stunned. For all his experience with women, he had never seen anyone like her.
The woman saw him practically drooling and exploded. “You little tramp! How dare you seduce someone else’s boyfriend p>
Her shrill voice drew attention from the people around them.
Garrett finally snapped out of it and pushed the woman’s hand off his arm. He walked over to Lilian and smiled. “Hey, gorgeous. I’m the general manager of Skycorp. Would you honor me by letting me get to know you p>
Lilian wasn’t interested in dealing with either of them. She turned back toward the counter.
Garrett hurried after her. “Whatever you like, I’ll buy it for you p>
The woman watched this unfold, teeth grinding in fury. She stormed over and slapped Lilian-only to miss completely as Lilian dodged.
The slap landed squarely on Garrett’s face with a loud smack, shocking everyone nearby.
Garrett clutched his cheek in disbelief. “You hit me p>
Panicking, the woman tried to cover it up. “I’m sorry, baby! I didn’t mean to! It’s her fault-she was seducing you p>
Lilian ignored the chaos behind her, calmly paid for the ring, and left the store without a backward glance.
