**TITLE: The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 359**
**CONTENT: Chapter 359 The Lindt Family’s Renee**
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue over the sprawling grounds of the Lindt family estate, an air of anticipation enveloped the scene. The estate, adorned with a multitude of twinkling lights, transformed into a beacon for Kingston’s elite, who began to arrive in a steady stream of luxury vehicles. Each car that rolled through the gates heightened the buzz among the guests, a palpable energy coursing through the crowd as they awaited the return of a woman whose life had once been steeped in scandal and intrigue.
Renee’s homecoming had ignited a fervor in high society, reminiscent of a long-buried tale that had once captivated the city. Her tumultuous affair with Jared, a saga filled with passion and heartbreak, had left an indelible mark on Kingston’s social fabric. Now, as whispers of her return spread like wildfire, the atmosphere crackled with curiosity and speculation. What had she become after years away from the city? Would she reignite old flames or fan the embers of past rivalries?
Inside the lavish banquet hall, the ambiance was electric. Leon moved gracefully through the throng of guests, his charming smile and effortless banter drawing laughter from those he encountered. Nearby, Triny flitted about, her laughter mingling with the clinking of glasses and the soft strains of music that permeated the air, creating a tapestry of sound that enveloped the evening.
Meanwhile, in a sumptuous bedroom adorned with exquisite decor, Renee sat poised before an ornate dressing table, her fingers deftly fastening a pair of elegant earrings. The reflection staring back at her was one of confidence and elegance. Dressed in a champagne-colored qipao, adorned with intricate camellia embroidery, she exuded a regal air that spoke of her readiness to reclaim her place in Kingston. Each movement was deliberate, a silent declaration of her intent to step back into the world she had once left behind.
A gentle knock interrupted her moment of self-reflection.
“Come in,” she called, her voice smooth yet commanding.
The door swung open to reveal Mr. Morten, her father, who stepped inside with a calm demeanor that belied the concern etched on his face. “Are you ready?” he asked, his voice steady, though a hint of apprehension lingered beneath the surface.
Renee picked up a delicate necklace, holding it against her throat as she admired her reflection, the glint of the jewels matching the spark in her eyes. “Almost. What’s troubling you, Father?” she replied, a trace of curiosity evident in her tone.
His gaze sharpened, the flicker of worry evident in his expression. “You’re certain the Whitmores will attend?”
A chill smile danced across Renee’s lips, mischief glinting in her eyes. “I’ve been away for far too long. Given their nature, they won’t be able to resist the temptation to see me. Jared will come, make no mistake about it.”
Mr. Morten’s voice dropped, seriousness etched into his brow. “You’ve been away from Dracovia for too long. You may not fully grasp what that man has become. It would be wise not to provoke him.”
“I know my limits,” she replied, her smile unwavering but lacking warmth. “I returned with no intention of fading into the background.”
Seeing the determination in her gaze, Mr. Morten nodded, albeit with reluctance. His eyes scanned the room, searching for a familiar face. “Where’s Jane? I haven’t seen her this evening.”
At the mention of her younger sister, Renee’s expression softened, a hint of maternal affection illuminating her features. “She wanted to go out and play. I asked Fenton to take her along,” she said, her voice warm, a stark contrast to the steely resolve she had just displayed.
