Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113: The Hawk Family of Kingston

The following morning, Lilian boarded the sleek private jet alongside Mr. Austin, their destination set for Kingston. The cabin was quiet, save for the soft hum of the engines and the occasional rustle of papers as Mr. Austin reviewed some documents. Lilian’s mind wandered, anticipation mingling with a quiet determination as the plane soared through the clear blue sky.

About an hour later, the jet touched down on a remote, almost hidden airstrip. Waiting nearby was a polished black car, its engine purring softly as the driver opened the door for them. The transition from sky to earth was seamless, and soon they were gliding along a winding driveway that led deep into the heart of a magnificent estate.

The landscape around them was breathtaking—graceful stone bridges arched over gentle streams, while ornate pavilions dotted the grounds, each one echoing the charm of a bygone era. The air was crisp and carried the faint scent of blooming jasmine, adding a delicate sweetness to the atmosphere. It felt as though they had stepped into a living painting, where every detail was carefully curated.

Eventually, the car slowed and came to a halt in front of a villa that, while aged, retained an undeniable elegance. The stone walls bore the patina of time, but the large windows gleamed with a quiet pride. A sense of history lingered here, mingling with an aura of refined grace.

As the vehicle door opened, a servant promptly appeared at the entrance, his expression courteous but reserved as he held the door open. Lilian stepped out, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings with calm precision. Though the layout appeared straightforward, subtle signs of sophistication were everywhere—the servants moved with deliberate, measured steps, and discreet surveillance cameras peeked out from corners, blending seamlessly into the architecture. The security was thorough, leaving no doubt that this was a place where safety was paramount.

Mr. Austin joined her at her side, noting the serious look etched on her face. His voice was low and reassuring. “There’s no need to be anxious. I have complete faith in your abilities.”

Lilian offered a faint, composed smile in response, though she remained silent. Together, they stepped inside the villa.

The interior was modest yet inviting. There was no hint of extravagance here, only a warmth that spoke of a lived-in home. The dark wooden floors bore the marks of many years but were polished to a near-mirror shine. On the walls hung several landscape paintings, each one capturing serene scenes that suggested the homeowner’s refined taste.

In the living room, a middle-aged couple sat side by side on a sofa. The man’s face was drawn and tired, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers, while the woman’s eyes were puffy and red from tears. A few others stood nearby, offering quiet comfort, their expressions heavy with concern.

Mr. Austin had already briefed Lilian on the Hawk family’s background. Mr. Robert Hawk had dedicated his life to serving the nation, and his two children, Lambert and Tania, had followed in his footsteps as military officers.

As Lilian and Mr. Austin entered, the room fell into a hushed silence. Everyone recognized Mr. Austin immediately, but when their eyes settled on the young woman beside him, surprise flickered across several faces.
