Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: The Auction

Night had fully settled over the Imperial Hotel, its grand entrance ablaze with sparkling lights that caught the eyes of nearly every reporter in Solara. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation—tonight’s auction was no ordinary event. Rumors swirled that the elusive Skyreach Group would make an appearance, and that alone had drawn a crowd eager to uncover secrets.

Skyreach Group, a rapidly emerging powerhouse, had captured the city’s attention. Investigations revealed their fingers in multiple industries—pharmaceuticals, entertainment, investments, and real estate—all expanding at a dizzying pace. What piqued curiosity even more was the open backing of the mysterious Empire Group, leading many to wonder who truly pulled the strings behind Skyreach.

Despite days of relentless probing, no one had managed to identify the chairman of Skyreach Group. So, this evening, the hotel lobby was packed with hopeful onlookers, all yearning for a glimpse of the figure behind the corporate veil.

One by one, sleek luxury vehicles glided to a stop before the entrance. Each guest that stepped out was impeccably dressed, their polished appearances worthy of the financial magazines that often featured them. The air was thick with whispers and camera flashes.

A Maybach eased to a halt, drawing immediate attention. A valet swiftly moved to open the door, revealing the first sign of a presence inside—a long leg, followed by a man dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit. His handsome, refined face was marked by a cultured elegance, yet the sharp, cold glint in his eyes sent a subtle chill through those nearby.

A reporter leaned in, voice low but urgent. “That’s Jacob, CEO of Axen Group. Didn’t expect to see him here tonight. Get the shot!”

Cameras exploded into a frenzy of flashes, lighting up the entrance like fireworks.

Shortly after Jacob disappeared into the hotel interior, a sleek black Mercedes van rolled up. A middle-aged man stepped out, his gold-rimmed glasses perched on a scholarly face that hinted at intelligence but also a hidden sharpness. Without exchanging a word, he strode directly into the building.

Reporters surged forward, their questions rapid and relentless.

“Is it true Gordon forced you out of Goodman Corp?”

“Are you planning to launch your own company now?”

“Will you be bidding on the land tonight?”

The recent turmoil within the Goodman family had become the talk of the town. Killian, once presumed to be the heir apparent, had been shockingly expelled from the family business altogether.

Killian’s expression darkened with irritation as he brushed off the questions, moving resolutely into the hotel.

Just then, another Mercedes van pulled up and stopped.

As the door opened, reporters surged forward again, their voices rising in excitement.

“Will the chairman of Skyreach Group be attending tonight?”
