Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 319

**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 319**

**Chapter 319: SATS**

Vivian stood before the mirror, her eyes scrutinizing her reflection with an unwavering intensity. Each stroke of her makeup brush was deliberate, an artist perfecting her masterpiece. The subtle shimmer of her foundation, the precise contouring of her cheekbones, and the bold red of her lips—all were meticulously crafted to project the image of a woman in control, a woman who demanded respect.

As she finished, she straightened her posture, her sharp gaze darting to her daughter, Chloe, who was seated on the edge of the bed, a mix of admiration and trepidation flickering across her youthful face. “Remember this,” Vivian’s voice cut through the silence like a knife, cold and unyielding. “In this world, the only way to get what you want is to keep climbing higher; otherwise, nothing will ever belong to you—not even your life.” The weight of her words hung in the air, heavy with the truth of her experiences.

With a swift motion, she snatched the diamond-studded clutch from the vanity, the sparkle of the jewels reflecting her ambition, and strode out of the room, her high heels clicking authoritatively against the floor. Chloe watched her mother’s retreating figure, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion and admiration, grappling with the harsh reality of what it meant to pursue success in a world that often felt unforgiving.

The following morning, Lillian made her way back to Solara, and as she approached the school, she was greeted by a scene that felt almost surreal. The entrance was adorned like a grand celebration, a festival of sorts, with vibrant decorations and an air of excitement that buzzed around her.

A large banner stretched triumphantly across the school gates, proclaiming: “Congratulations to Lillian for winning first place in The Shining Hopes English Contest.” The words seemed to dance in the sunlight, and Lillian felt a swell of pride mixed with disbelief.

Cheerleaders had gathered, their faces radiant with enthusiasm, ready to celebrate her return. The unexpected spectacle left Lillian momentarily speechless, her heart racing as she processed the warm welcome.

Jasper, along with several teachers, stood by the gates, their faces lighting up upon spotting her approach. Their smiles were genuine, and Lillian felt a rush of gratitude as she drew closer.

“Lillian,” Jasper called out, his voice rich with warmth, “it looks like my decision back then was the right one. You truly didn’t let me down. And once again, thank you for bringing such an honor to Riverdale High.” His eyes sparkled with pride, and Lillian couldn’t help but return his smile, her heart swelling with appreciation.

“It’s all thanks to your guidance, Principal,” she replied sincerely, her voice steady. “Riverdale High produces so many outstanding students under your leadership; half of this honor belongs to you.”

Jasper threw back his head and laughed, a sound that resonated with joy. He pointed a finger playfully at her. “You… always buttering me up. But let’s be honest—Riverdale High wouldn’t have taken first place without you.”

“Honestly, as a part of Riverdale High, this is simply what I should do,” Lillian said, her modesty shining through as she exchanged a few more polite words with him before making her way to class, the cheers and warm welcomes from her classmates enveloping her like a comforting embrace.

As she stepped into the classroom, all eyes turned toward her, anticipation hanging thick in the air.
