The Vice Chancellor continued to sing Lillian's praises before suddenly pivoting. "By the way, has the Blake Group considered a partnership with Lillionix?

If you're interested, Mr. Blake, this would be the perfect opportunity to pull Ms. Mercer aside for a chat."

Sebastian would have killed for an excuse to talk to her, but he knew it wasn't up to him.

The real question was whether Lillian would even give him the time of day.

He was painfully aware that she probably didn't even want to look at him, let alone engage in a business negotiation.

Winning her back wasn't going to happen overnight. He had already mentally prepared himself for a long, grueling battle.

He was determined to pursue her and make her his again, even if she fought him every step of the way.

Still, he wasn't about to turn down the Vice Chancellor's help. If she rejected him now, he would simply wait.

After all, they shared a child, Noah. And given how deeply she used to love him, Sebastian was arrogantly confident that his patience would eventually pay off.

However, he graciously accepted the offer.

"I would appreciate the introduction, Chancellor."

Since they were both former students, Julian saw no harm in playing matchmaker for a corporate deal.

He was completely oblivious to the fact that the two were bitterly divorced and that Lillian had long since blocked Sebastian on every imaginable platform.

Across the room, Leonard occasionally stole glances at Lillian. Being able to attend an event like this together and seeing the radiant confidence on her face filled him with a quiet sense of pride.

It was a rare treat for them to share a public space officially.
