Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 Million Corp Anniversary Celebration Moving On

Merrick gave a mysterious smile. “There’s a lot you don’t know; since you’re here tonight, keep me company and have a few more drinks.”

Then he turned to Eric. “Let me introduce you–this is Ms. Harrington.”

Eric immediately extended his hand. “Ms. Harrington, it’s been a long time.”

Lillian still remembered Eric. After all, that celebration had drawn plenty of attention. She smiled as she shook his hand. “Hello, Mr.

Eric.”

Seeing the exchange, Merrick remarked, “So, the two of you already know each other.”

Eric nodded with a grin. “Two years ago, at Solara’s Riverdale High School anniversary, Ms. Harrington’s violin performance left a deep impression. Unforgettable, really.”

“You play the violin?” Merrick asked bluntly.

Lillian gave a casual nod. “Mr. Eric is exaggerating. I just played on a whim; I can’t compare to professionals. I only learned a little as a child, from my mother.”

“Your mother plays the violin?” Merrick pressed.

Lillian nodded again. “That’s right; my mother was quite accomplished in that area.”

Her background wasn’t exactly a secret in high society anymore. The Sinclair family’s recent scandal had become common knowledge, and everyone knew she was Catherine’s daughter.

Merrick looked at Lillian, clearly stirred, though he forced himself to stay composed. Smiling, he said, “I hope I can hear you play sometime.”

Lillian didn’t refuse. “Sure; another day, definitely.”

Since tonight was Million Corp’s anniversary celebration, Joah walked onto the stage, smiling at the crowd. “Thank you all so much for being here to celebrate Million Corp’s anniversary. The company’s success today is thanks to your support; without you, we wouldn’t have come this far. Of course, we must also thank our group’s leader, Mr. Merrick. It’s an honor to have him here tonight. Let’s give him a warm round of applause and invite Mr. Merrick to say a few words.”

As soon as Joah finished, the audience broke into applause.

With Eric supporting him, Merrick stepped onto the stage. Wearing a smile, he said, “First, I want to thank all of you for coming to Million Corp’s anniversary. This has also given me a chance to return to Dracovia, and seeing the changes here over the years has left me truly astonished…”

As Merrick spoke with ease onstage, Cameron leaned close to Lillian and whispered, “I can’t believe you know someone like Mr. Merrick.”

Lillian kept her expression calm. “It was pure coincidence. I didn’t realize at the time that he was the chairman of Philips Corp you’ve all been talking about.”

Cameron chuckled. “Lillian, sometimes I have to admire your luck. You meet someone casually, and they turn out to have such powerful connections.”

“Luck isn’t something you can admire,” Lillian said with a smile.
