Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 676

**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 676**
**Chapter 676: Ginnie’s Interference**

Jill’s voice was as frigid as the winter air outside. “Given how busy you are these days, I wouldn’t dare to impose on you or even think about stepping over the threshold of the Yale estate. I assumed you had no interest in welcoming me here, deliberately making it difficult for me to visit.” Her words dripped with sarcasm, a pointed jab that hung in the air between them.

Theo chuckled softly, a hint of warmth in his tone that contrasted with Jill’s chill. “What nonsense are you spouting, my dear? How could I ever turn you away? I’ve watched you blossom from a little girl into the remarkable woman you are today. In my heart, you’re akin to Natalie—like a daughter to me. How could I ever refuse you entry?” His sincerity was palpable, a reminder of the bond they shared that transcended mere formality.

Jill’s gaze flicked toward Spring, her lips curling into a disdainful smirk. “Oh, is that so? It appears I may have misjudged you, Theo. However, this ‘Spring’ here insisted that Natalie was in dire need of rest and barred me from entering. You see, I’m a socialite; if my parents learned I was turned away at the door, I can only imagine their disappointment.” Her tone was laced with mockery, but there was an underlying tension that suggested deeper feelings.

Spring’s complexion drained of color, her eyes widening in distress. Ginnie, sensing the escalating situation, quickly intervened. “Oh, that’s just a misunderstanding! We merely wanted to ensure that Natalie wasn’t disturbed during her recovery. There was never any intention to keep you out.” Her voice was shaky, a mix of defensiveness and concern.

With a hint of irritation, Spring added, “Yes, you’ve misunderstood the situation. I would never dream of preventing you from entering! It’s just that Natalie had taken her medication and was resting. I thought it best not to disturb her.” Her eyes glistened slightly, betraying her anxiety.

“Is that truly the case?” Jill replied, her tone dripping with skepticism. “It seems Spring is quite the diligent caretaker for Natalie. I must be the one in the wrong, then. But we’ve been waiting here for most of the day; surely, she must be awake by now. Lilian hasn’t seen her in six months! A visit from her might just brighten Natalie’s spirits and aid in her recovery, don’t you think?” There was a challenge in Jill’s voice, an unspoken dare that hung between them.

Theo’s gaze shifted, finally noticing the quiet girl seated nearby, sipping her tea with an air of calm composure. “Ah, you’re Lilian from Kingston University, the one who recently triumphed over the Radovian representative at the medical exchange conference!” His surprise was evident, a spark of admiration lighting his eyes.

Lilian offered a faint smile, her demeanor poised yet slightly apprehensive. “Yes, that’s me. I realize my visit might be seen as an inconvenience, but I came to check on Natalie after hearing about her illness. I hope you don’t mind my intrusion.” Her voice was soft, but it carried a weight of genuine concern.
