**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 316**
**Chapter 316 The Finals Continue**
Vivian stood on the brink of elation, her heart swelling with pride as she absorbed the warm compliments from her two elders. Her smile shone like a beacon, illuminating the room around her. “Mom, please, stop showering me with praise. The competition is far from over, and there’s no certainty that I will clinch first place,” she replied, half-laughing, half-serious, her voice laced with a hint of nervousness.
Henry, her father, feigned a stern expression, though the twinkle in his eyes betrayed him. “Oh, my daughter is absolutely destined to take first place. I have no doubts about that,” he declared, his tone teasing yet filled with unwavering belief.
As the sixth speaker concluded their presentation with a swift flourish, the atmosphere in the auditorium shifted, anticipation hanging palpably in the air.
Finally, the moment arrived—it was Lillian’s turn.
On stage, the host maintained a well-practiced smile, a facade of professionalism that barely concealed the excitement bubbling beneath. As he announced Lillian’s name, a ripple of recognition swept through the Sinclair family, their collective attention snapping to the screen like a tightly drawn bowstring.
Silence enveloped the room, each member of the family unwilling to break the spell of the moment.
Morgan, seated in his armchair, absentmindedly lifted his teacup to his lips, his gaze fixated on the television as if it were a portal to another world.
And then, there she was—the familiar figure stepping onto the stage.
The sound of porcelain shattering against the floor sliced through the tense silence, a sharp crack that echoed with the weight of disbelief.
Morgan stood abruptly, his legs trembling beneath him, his eyes glued to the screen as if he were witnessing a ghost. “She… she… what’s her name?” he stammered, a mixture of confusion and recognition swirling within him.
A wave of shock surged through the room, rippling across the faces of the Sinclair family, including Vivian. She had never anticipated encountering that girl again, especially not in such a significant moment.
What left her utterly astounded was the realization that the Sinclair family was witnessing this too.
