**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession Series 588**
**Chapter 588: Laney’s Darkness**

With a flourish, Laney emerged from the sleek sports car, her outfit a dazzling spectacle that starkly contrasted her former image of purity and innocence. The sun glinted off the polished surface of the vehicle as she leaned in, pressing a soft kiss on the lips of the man behind the wheel. There was a playful glint in her eyes as she straightened up, her lips curling into a flirtatious smile. The sound of her heels resonated against the pavement, a rhythmic click that echoed her confident stride toward the school, her posture radiating pride and an air of superiority.

Lillian, standing at a distance, felt a jolt of surprise wash over her. It was as if, in the span of just two days, Laney had undergone a complete transformation, evolving into someone unrecognizable. The change was not merely superficial; it felt as though she had shed her old skin, embracing a new persona that was both enthralling and unsettling.

As Laney crossed the threshold into the classroom, Isabelle’s voice rang out, cutting through Lillian’s thoughts like a bell.

“Lillian! Over here!” Isabelle called, her tone laced with excitement.

Without hesitation, Lillian made her way to Isabelle, taking a seat beside her.

Leaning in conspiratorially, Isabelle whispered, her eyes wide with intrigue, “Did you see Laney just now?”

Lillian nodded slowly, her mind still processing the shocking sight. “I ran into her at the school gate. It was… something.”

Isabelle continued, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial hush, “She’s a completely different person! When I got back last night, I barely recognized her. If I hadn’t seen that familiar face, I might have thought she was possessed! Elsie and I were so taken aback that we didn’t even dare approach her. Do you think she’s maybe lost her mind from all the shock?”

Lillian scoffed, a hint of disdain creeping into her expression. “Or perhaps this is the real Laney finally emerging. I’ve been mulling it over—she hardly knew Mr. Whitmore, so why the sudden obsession? It just doesn’t add up. But then it struck me: Mr. Whitmore feeds into every ounce of her vanity and ambition.”

A light of understanding flickered in Isabelle’s eyes. “Oh, I see it now! It makes sense why she’s latched onto Mr. Whitmore so fiercely. It all falls into place.” She sighed dramatically, her tone shifting to one of resignation. “But honestly, it’s not surprising. A man like Mr. Whitmore is a catch that’s hard for any woman to resist. Well, except for me. I still prefer my boy toys.”

Lillian shrugged off the topic of Laney, her thoughts drifting elsewhere. Since Laney’s return home, their paths had barely crossed, and when they did, it was as if they were mere strangers, exchanging polite nods rather than the warmth of friendship.
