Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 16

The evening air shimmered with excitement at Velvet & Vine, where the gleam of luxury cars stretched along the driveway, their polished surfaces catching the glow of the dazzling lights above. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation, setting the perfect stage for the night’s grand event.

Lillian arrived just in the nick of time, her heart fluttering slightly as she stepped through the towering entrance doors. Before she could take more than a few steps inside, a familiar voice called out, warm and unmistakable. “Lillian.”

She turned gracefully to meet Ethan’s eyes, a smile curling on her lips. “Mr. Ethan, you wouldn’t be standing here all alone just waiting for me, would you?” she teased lightly, her tone playful.

Ethan closed the distance between them, his eyes bright with eagerness. “What do you think? I was a bit worried you might have trouble finding the place, so I decided to wait. But it’s only been a few days, and yet you seem even taller—and more breathtaking than before.”

Lillian’s teal dress hugged her figure elegantly, complemented by a matching shawl that added a touch of understated glamour. The simplicity of her attire only enhanced her natural beauty, drawing subtle glances from those nearby. Her presence alone was enough to command attention.

“And Mr. Ethan has become even more charming,” she shot back with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes.

Ethan chuckled softly. “You never miss a chance to poke fun at me. Come on, the gala is about to start.”

With that, he took her hand and led her inside.

The grand ballroom was a sight to behold. A magnificent crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, scattering light across the gleaming marble floor. Elegant groups of guests mingled, their soft chatter blending with the gentle clinking of glasses. The refined music playing in the background added a layer of sophistication to the already luxurious setting.

A lavish dining table was adorned with delicate pastries and exquisite cakes, while a towering champagne fountain bubbled nearby, adding to the evening’s opulence.

As Ethan and Lillian entered, all eyes naturally gravitated toward them. The Lewis family was renowned as the wealthiest in Solara, their vast empire spanning hotels, jewelry, and real estate. Ethan’s company, Golden Prosperity Group, had recently soared in prominence, establishing a strong national presence. His status made him one of the most sought-after bachelors, with influential families eager to win his favor. For those hoping to forge ties with the Lewis family, Ethan was undoubtedly a prized catch.

Lillian noticed the mixture of envy and admiration in the glances they received and sighed quietly to herself. Ethan truly was extraordinary.
