Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 317

Morgan’s eyes narrowed as he fixed a piercing glare on his son, his voice cutting through the tension like a knife. “Don’t even think about trying to pull the wool over my eyes. Just because I’m getting older doesn’t mean I’m losing my edge. If you can’t unravel this mystery, I won’t hesitate to suspend you and take matters into my own hands.”

His words landed heavily in the room, creating a palpable silence that enveloped everyone present.

Vivian felt a wave of heat rise to her cheeks as she struggled to contain her emotions. “Dad, how can you say that? I understand your suspicions about her being my sister’s child, but so much time has passed! You can’t just snap your fingers and expect the truth to materialize out of thin air.”

Morgan’s icy stare bore into her, devoid of warmth, and a sardonic smile twisted his lips. “Don’t try to spin that tale for me. You know exactly how Catherine’s child vanished all those years ago. Don’t act like you’re unaware, and certainly don’t suggest it was some random kidnapping. The universe doesn’t work that way.”

Before Vivian could muster a response, he turned sharply on his heel and strode purposefully toward the study. Beth, observing the escalating tension, let out a resigned sigh and followed the old man, her heart heavy with the weight of the situation.

Vivian stood frozen, her eyes locked on their retreating figures, her face pale and her expression contorted with a mix of anger and disbelief. She clenched her hands into tight fists, her knuckles turning white as the fury bubbled within her.

How could this be happening? After years of striving to gain their acceptance, after finally witnessing Chloe receive the affection she so richly deserved—how could a single, hauntingly familiar face threaten to unravel everything? All her hard work, all the love she had built, shattered in an instant. Why? Why did it have to be this way? Catherine was gone… so why couldn’t they just let her memory rest?

Henry sank back into the couch, a hand pressed against his eyes, attempting to block out the memories that surged forth unbidden. That girl’s face was imprinted in his mind, refusing to fade away. If only she hadn’t shown up, perhaps he could have finally put the past behind him—

Forgotten the woman whose beauty had been nothing short of breathtaking, a beauty that could bring nations to their knees. To claim that he had never harbored feelings for her would be a falsehood; they had grown up side by side, and he had once cherished her as if she were his own little sister.

Yet, everything had changed. The old man had forced him into that marriage, and whether it was the rebellious spirit of youth or Vivian’s presence that had fueled his resentment, he didn’t know. All he was left with was bitterness, blaming her for being the barrier between him and the woman he truly desired.

Even after she had given him a daughter, a piece of himself.

And yet, when he caught sight of that familiar face again, he was taken aback by the dull ache that settled in his chest, a sensation he thought he had long buried.
