Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 540

**Chapter 540: The Birthday Party**

Isabelle’s voice rang out with enthusiasm. “Honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Handsome guys, delectable food—what more could I possibly wish for? Everything else is just unnecessary fluff.” Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she surveyed the room, reveling in the atmosphere.

Lillian, standing nearby, shook her head with a soft, resigned smile. She admired Isabelle’s carefree spirit but couldn’t help feeling a twinge of something deeper.

At that moment, a sharp whistle cut through the chatter, drawing everyone’s gaze. Lancy made her entrance, gliding into the room in a delicate pale lavender gown, a matching shawl elegantly draped over her shoulders. The soft glow of the crystal chandeliers above illuminated her, casting a halo-like effect that made her appear both fragile and enchanting. Instantly, she became the focal point of the gathering, her presence commanding attention effortlessly.

“Laney is changing more and more every day,” Isabelle whispered, her tone laced with curiosity.

A flicker of disdain flashed across Elsie’s features. “Well, she’s dating a rich boyfriend now, so it’s no wonder she looks different,” she remarked with a hint of scorn. To Elsie, pursuing love was a noble endeavor, but Laney’s choice to go after her friend’s man was a betrayal that she couldn’t overlook.

Lillian’s gaze hardened as she regarded Laney, a cold glint sparking in her eyes.

With a polite smile, Laney approached their group. “I apologize for being late,” she said, extending a gift bag toward Elsie. “Happy birthday!”

“Thank you,” Elsie replied, her smile brightening as she accepted the gift, though her eyes remained guarded.

Isabelle, ever the playful spirit, chimed in with a teasing grin. “Laney, you certainly know how to make an entrance. You’ve completely overshadowed the birthday girl!”

Laney chuckled softly, her laughter light and airy. “Oh, come on! How could I ever steal the spotlight from our star of the night?”

A cluster of girls gathered around, their eyes sparkling with admiration. “Laney, that dress is absolutely stunning!” one of them exclaimed, her voice filled with awe.

“Yes, I spotted this design in a magazine. It’s a new release from M—costs a small fortune,” another chimed in, her envy palpable.
