Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Testing

Cameron and the others felt as if they had been struck by a sudden, unexpected blow.

“Sebastian, seriously, you can’t do this—we haven’t even started eating yet,” Cameron protested, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Lillian caught the pained look on Cameron’s face, then glanced at the woman sitting beside him. A playful smile curved her lips. “Cameron, I don’t mind if you want to show off a little in front of me,” she teased softly.

Cameron suddenly froze, words stuck somewhere deep in his throat. As all eyes turned toward him, he muttered awkwardly, cheeks reddening, “I’m… reserved. Shy.”

“Shy? Hahaha, shy?” Manny burst out laughing, doubling over as if the idea was utterly ridiculous. The others couldn’t hold back either; their laughter bubbled up, filling the room with lighthearted amusement.

Rolling his eyes in frustration, Cameron grumbled, “What? Am I not allowed to be shy? Because I am.”

“Alright, alright,” Manny said between chuckles, finally catching his breath. “The famous Wu of Kingston, shy? Now that’s a headline I’d pay to read.”

Fawks gave the two jokers a look of mild irritation before turning his attention to Lillian. His voice was casual but curious as he asked, “Lillian, are you friends with Mr. Ryan from Skyreach Group?”

The question instantly drew everyone’s focus to her. Manny had been quietly intrigued for some time now; Lillian had always carried an air of mystery about her.

She looked like any ordinary high school girl, yet her medical skills were nothing short of remarkable. She knew Geo, and now it seemed she was close to several of Jiutian’s top executives as well.

Lillian’s expression remained calm and composed as she replied casually, “Yeah, we’re pretty close.”

Of course they were. Those men were her most trusted allies, her comrades in the battlefield of life. How could they not share a close bond?

Their gazes shifted to Sebastian, watching for any sign of reaction. His face stayed calm and unreadable as he silently placed food on Lillian’s plate.

Manny raised his glass, keeping his tone light. “So, Lillian, how long have you known Mr. Ryan?”

“Over two years, I think,” she answered without hesitation.
