Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 870

Lilian stared at her disconnected phone, her gaze turning cold. Fiancée? Since when did Sebastian have a fiancée? If that woman held that title, then who was she? She immediately tried redialing the number, but the phone had already been switched off.

Meanwhile, in Murica.

Inside the Chairman’s office at Austine Financial Group.

Everly stood by the desk, staring down at the phone in her hand with a chilling expression. She deleted the most recent call log, blocked the number, and then carefully placed the device back exactly where she had found it. She acted as if nothing had happened.

When the phone had originally started ringing, she hadn't intended to answer. However, as if possessed, she had walked over to the desk and glanced at the caller ID.

The moment she saw the name, her instinct told her this was the same Lilian from over a year ago—the woman who had humiliated her and the woman who had stolen Sebastian.

She had answered the call on impulse to claim her territory. After all, they were indeed about to be engaged, so she wasn't technically lying. Just imagining the look on that little brat’s face at this moment felt incredibly satisfying.

Suddenly, the office door swung open. Sebastian entered, and his eyes darkened the moment he saw the woman standing by his desk. "Who gave you permission to be in here?" he demanded.

She had consistently told herself that once she became his wife, she could make him love her. But every time she faced his cold, indifferent stare, her resolve chipped away.

Sebastian walked to the desk and tossed his documents onto the surface. He looked at Everly and said coldly, "I assume you have a reason for being here, Miss Roberts. Or did your dear grandfather send you with a new threat to force my hand?"

"My grandfather didn't send me. I came on my own," Everly said, her voice trembling. "I came to ask when you intend to visit the Cary estate to discuss the formal engagement. The news of our alliance is already the talk of Murica. Since you haven't denied it, it’s seen as a tacit agreement. I just wanted to know the timeline so I could prepare."

Sebastian let out a sharp, mocking laugh. "What’s the rush? Are you so desperate to be my woman because your usual string of male companions can't satisfy you? I said I would take a week. I suggest you wait quietly, Miss Roberts. When the time is up, I will provide an answer. You don't need to come here to nag me."
