**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 380**
**Chapter 380: Lisa’s Madness**
Daylen sat in silence, his focus entirely absorbed by the screen of his phone. Not a single glance was cast in Eda’s direction, as if she were a mere shadow in his periphery.
Eda’s fingers clenched into fists, her frustration bubbling beneath the surface. She turned her gaze toward the stage, where Lillian stood radiant and confident, commanding the attention of everyone in the hall. A fire of jealousy ignited within her, twisting her stomach into knots. *Why does she always have to be in the spotlight?*
As Lillian concluded her eloquent speech, the audience erupted into a thunderous wave of applause, the sound reverberating through the grand hall like a storm. The atmosphere was electric, filled with admiration and respect, while Eda felt like a ghost, unseen and unheard.
With the opening ceremony drawing to a close, the anticipation for the upcoming military training loomed ahead. However, Lillian had been granted a special exemption by Paul Cai due to her role in delivering the speech. As the crowd began to disperse, Lillian made her exit, leaving the campus without a backward glance.
Meanwhile, in Murica—
At the sprawling Phillips estate, Merrick stood on edge, his heart racing as he accepted the folder Xavier handed to him. The weight of it felt heavy in his hands, and he could hardly contain his anxiety.
With unsteady fingers, he broke the seal, and the contents spilled out—a collection of photographs that seemed to pulse with memories. A girl in a school uniform stared back at him from the glossy prints, her innocent smile strikingly familiar.
“She looks… so much like her,” Merrick murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, as if speaking too loudly would shatter the fragile moment.
Flipping through the remaining photos, he noted that most depicted the girl during her formative years. A pang of disappointment struck him. “No childhood pictures?” he inquired, his brow furrowing in concern.
Xavier shook his head, his expression apologetic. “These are all we could find, sir. They primarily come from the schools Miss Catherine attended. Unfortunately, the older photographs have long since been destroyed, leaving us with no records.”
Merrick’s gaze lingered on the girl’s face, his heart heavy with contemplation. *It seems I must go to Dracovia myself,* he realized, a sense of resolve washing over him.
He snapped the folder shut with determination. “Prepare everything. We’re heading to Dracovia. It’s been far too long since I last set foot there. It’s time to confront the past.”
“Understood, sir,” Xavier replied, his tone crisp and professional.
