Betrayed by the Father Reborn in His Rival's Arms novel Chapter 317

Sheri asked, "How could you not know?"

"Quentin built a massive, spectacular garden estate down in the south of Empire City.

"Rumor has it there are thousands of rare flowers inside. It's like a wonderland, with an entire lake right on the property.

"There's supposed to be an equestrian club and a golf course too. Basically, every high-end luxury you can imagine is there. And they say the estate was built specifically for the future lady of the house.

"The day the estate officially opens, there'll be a massive gala. Every new-generation heir from prominent and powerful families will be invited. It's going to be the absolute best opportunity for a strategic marriage."

Hearing Sheri go on and on about Quentin, it finally clicked for Liliana. She was talking about the current reigning tycoon of the Prescott Group, Quentin Prescott.

Since Eleanor had placed Liliana as the imposter heiress of the Prescott family, Sheri genuinely believed Quentin was her brother.

"Right, I know about it. I've just had so much bad luck lately that it slipped my mind. Do you want to go?"

"Of course! A gala hosted by a titan like Quentin? I have to be there! So please, Lily, you have to get me out."

Liliana knew exactly what she was playing at, but she figured Sheri was just wasting her breath.

Did she honestly think a man like Quentin would look twice at her?

Sensing Liliana's cold dismissal, Sheri couldn't help but defend herself. "Lily, do you think I'm not good enough for him?

"Quentin's status is untouchable, sure, but finding a woman who matches his physical presence isn't easy either. He's tall and broad-shouldered, and I happen to be tall too.

Under Sheri's desperate begging, Liliana finally agreed.

After all, Sheri was her only friend. Being physically thrown out of the company by Lucius had dealt Liliana a massive blow. Not only did she need Alastair to soothe her body, but she also needed a loyal follower like Sheri to comfort her ego. Plus, Sheri made a fair point—if she managed to bag Quentin, it would only help Liliana's future grip on the Whitman family.

Once her mind was made up, Liliana stepped into a secluded corner and made the call.

After she hung up, Sheri was successfully granted bail, though she would have to return later to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.

Sheri was ecstatic. She needed to start prepping immediately, as the date of the gala Quentin was hosting for his return was fast approaching.

A few nights later, a colossal luxury yacht cruised into the bay and docked at the pier. Dozens of limited-edition Rolls-Royces were already lined up waiting. Models rarely seen anywhere in the world were gathered here in a fleet. The cars escorted their owners toward the estate, a masterpiece perfected over several years of design. The mansion was hidden within a lush, elevated ecological reserve, accessible only by a winding, one-way private drive where security rigorously verified and granted entry to each guest.
