Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 354

**TITLE: The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 354**
**Chapter 354: The Philips Corp Sisters 2**

Stella stood in the center of the Townsville Plaza, her posture radiating an undeniable air of superiority that seemed to electrify the atmosphere around her. She had little patience for trivial disputes, yet the moment demanded a display of her elevated status. With practiced elegance, she unzipped her sleek black clutch, her fingers brushing over a card that shimmered with an almost magical allure—an emblem of exclusivity. “This,” she declared, her voice dripping with condescension, “is the Townsville Plaza’s Black Gold Card. It grants me priority purchase rights.” She lifted her chin just so, casting a smug glance at Ashley, fully aware of the impact her words would have, like a sharp arrow finding its mark.

“You—” Ashley stammered, her composure visibly crumbling as her eyes widened in disbelief. The audacity of Stella’s proclamation left her momentarily speechless, grappling with the weight of the situation.

The clerk, caught awkwardly in the middle of this escalating confrontation, shot a nervous glance at Stella before turning to Lillian, his expression apologetic. “I’m truly sorry, miss. The plaza does enforce this rule.”

Stella’s expression morphed into one of haughty disdain, her lofty gaze sweeping across the room as if she were a queen surveying her kingdom. Meanwhile, Sonia’s lips curled into a chilling smile, a grin that hinted at long-buried humiliation finally clawing its way to the surface, demanding retribution.

Everyone braced for Lillian’s expected outburst, anticipating a fiery retort that would match Stella’s arrogance. Yet, to their astonishment, Lillian stepped forward with a calm grace that was both surprising and captivating. With unhurried elegance, she accepted the card from the clerk’s hand, inspecting it as if it were nothing more than a trinket of little worth.

Stella couldn’t resist sneering, her voice laced with scorn. “What’s the matter? Never seen a Black Gold Card before? It’s not surprising. A washed-up nobody like you wouldn’t even dare to set foot in a place like this if Ashley weren’t dragging you along.”

Lillian nodded thoughtfully, her eyes narrowing slightly as she processed Stella’s words. “You’re right. I haven’t encountered one before. But… it’s really not that impressive.”

In a swift, decisive motion, she snapped the card between her fingers, the sound sharp and resounding, sending shards scattering across the polished marble floor like confetti at a funeral.

A thick silence enveloped the room, an unexpected hush that spoke volumes. No one had anticipated such an audacious act, executed with unwavering confidence.

Stella’s eyes widened in disbelief, her expression contorting into a mask of fury as she stared at the fragments strewn about. “You—”

Lillian brushed her palms together nonchalantly, her demeanor composed as she turned to the clerk. “Well, now that there’s no Black Card, that means no special privileges, correct?”

Ashley, unable to contain her excitement, shot Lillian a thumbs-up, her face beaming with admiration. “Lillian, you’re my absolute hero! A total legend!” She cast a triumphant glance at Stella, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Since Ms. Stella no longer has her card, my Gold Card should work perfectly, right?” Without a moment’s hesitation, she handed her own card to the clerk.

For a fleeting moment, Stella’s smugness faltered, but she quickly regained her composure, straightening her posture as her voice dripped with disdain. “Don’t forget who owns Townsville Plaza.”

Ashley furrowed her brow, her mind racing to connect the dots. “The Brooks family, of course.”
