Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 600

**Chapter 600: Laney’s Mysterious Boyfriend**

The air in the room crackled with tension as Elsie’s face flushed a deep red, her eyes blazing with a mix of fury and disbelief. “I knew it! This entire spectacle with Chloe accusing Lillian of stealing Julius—it was all your doing, wasn’t it? You were pulling the strings from the shadows!”

Laney, feeling the weight of her friend’s anger, found it impossible to hold Elsie’s fierce gaze. She lowered her head, her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes, it was me. If you want to hit me, scream at me, or do whatever you feel is necessary—I won’t stop you. These past few weeks have forced me to confront my actions, and I’ve come to realize how my obsessive behavior has hurt everyone around me. I became someone I hardly recognize. I just want to apologize. Especially to you, Lillian. I truly hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.”

Isabelle exchanged a glance with Elsie, who still simmered with indignation, and let out a resigned sigh. “As long as you understand how wrong you were. Honestly, it’s not so much about us—it’s really about Lillian. What you did to her crossed a line that shouldn’t have been crossed.”

Laney’s eyes brimmed with unshed tears as she turned her attention to Lillian, her heart pounding. “I’m so very sorry, Lillian. Can you find it in yourself to forgive me?”

Lillian met her gaze with an unwavering intensity, her expression cool yet contemplative. A hint of a sardonic smile played on her lips as she replied, “Sure.” There was a flicker of curiosity in her eyes, as if she were trying to decipher the game Laney was playing. People could change, yes, but could anyone truly alter their core nature overnight?

In the days that followed, however, Laney began to embody a version of herself that felt almost foreign. She laughed freely with her friends, engaged in their playful banter, and even brushed off Elsie’s sarcastic remarks with a newfound lightness. It was as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders, and she was eager to embrace this shift.

Then, during a casual lunch one day, Laney’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she announced, “I have something thrilling to share with all of you—I’ve got a boyfriend!”

“What?” Isabelle nearly choked on her salad, her eyes widening in disbelief. “Since when did this happen?”

Laney’s smile was radiant, filled with warmth and enthusiasm. “Just a few days ago! I hadn’t mentioned it until now because I wanted to be sure. He’s liked me for a long time, but I was too caught up in my own world to notice. When everything came crashing down, he was the one who stood by me during my darkest moments. So now, we’re officially together.” A rosy blush crept across her cheeks, illuminating her entire demeanor with the unmistakable glow of someone who had just discovered the exhilarating thrill of new love.

“Congratulations!” Isabelle exclaimed, her playful grin widening. “That makes you the second one in our dorm to get snatched up!”

Elsie managed a tight little smile, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Yeah… congratulations on finding your true love.”

“Thank you,” Laney replied softly, her voice tinged with shyness. “Oh, and by the way, my boyfriend wants to treat everyone from our dorm to dinner tonight as a way of showing gratitude for all the support you’ve given me.”

“Wow, not bad,” Isabelle teased, raising an eyebrow. “Already taking us out for a feast.”
