Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 312

**TITLE: The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 311**
**CONTENT: Chapter 311 Eda’s Provocation**

Isabelle shot her friend a look that was equal parts annoyance and disbelief, her patience wearing thin from the relentless teasing. She turned away, hastily gathering her belongings, her mind racing with thoughts of the upcoming competition.

Celine, unable to suppress her amusement, let out a light laugh while shaking her head in mock disapproval. Her gaze drifted toward Lillian, who was nestled in a corner, engrossed in her book. “Lillian, don’t tell me you forgot to bring any luggage at all?” Celine inquired, her tone playful yet curious. After all, the competition was a significant event, and everyone else had meticulously prepared their outfits. Yet here was Lillian, with only a small bag by her side.

With a nonchalant gesture, Lillian pointed to the modest backpack resting beside her. “I packed a change of clothes and some toiletries,” she replied simply, her expression serene.

Celine raised her eyebrows, incredulity etched across her face. “But this competition is crucial! How can you just show up in your everyday attire? You should at least consider dressing a bit more formally. I brought two outfits, and since our builds are quite similar, why not borrow one from me?” Celine offered, her voice laced with genuine concern.

A soft smile graced Lillian’s lips as she shook her head gently. “I appreciate the offer, Celine, but there’s really no need. Comfort is my priority. Besides, the rules don’t specify anything about formal wear.”

Celine mulled it over for a moment before nodding in agreement. “You have a point. Overdressing can just add to the nerves. Staying relaxed might actually enhance your performance,” she conceded, returning to her task of packing with a newfound sense of understanding.

The afternoon drifted by in a haze of focused study within the dorms, a rare silence enveloping the group. Even Eda, usually the center of attention, was oddly subdued, her nose buried deep in her books.

After dinner, Lillian pulled out her phone, her heart skipping a beat as she noticed a missed call from Sebastian. Given that everyone was busy with their studies, they had all opted to keep their phones on silent mode.

Stepping out onto the balcony, she dialed his number, her pulse quickening with anticipation. He answered almost immediately, his deep, magnetic voice resonating through the line. “All finished,” he said, a hint of satisfaction in his tone.

A warmth spread through her, and she smiled softly. “Mm. I just had dinner. Everyone was so focused on studying this afternoon that I didn’t even realize you’d called.”

“Lillian, you don’t need to explain yourself to me. Between us, there’s no need for that,” he reassured her, his voice steady and comforting.
