“I had the same thought at first,” Rowan replied. “It seemed impossible for a young girl to possess that kind of power. But after digging into her history in Solara, I discovered that Lilian is far more complex than she appears. Her network is vast; she has ties to almost every major family in Solara, and by all accounts, those relationships are rock–solid. More importantly, the Chairman made an appearance at the Skyreach Group year–end gala two years ago. While no one caught a glimpse of her face, it’s common knowledge that the owner is a young woman named Harrington. At this point, I’m virtually certain that Lilian is the one pulling the strings.”
Robert’s brow furrowed as he scanned the documents in his hands. “No wonder Skyreach Group ended up with that plot of land. I assumed the girl had simply sold it to them. To think the entire company belongs to her… it’s staggering. But how does an orphan manage that? Skyreach was founded in Solara three years ago. By that timeline, she was only fourteen or fifteen. Where did the capital come from? Launching a conglomerate of that scale isn’t something you do with a few million dollars.”
“Grandpa, there’s something you might not know,” Rowan explained. “This young lady possesses an incredibly formidable skill, and that is appraising. Word has it that during the Ravenshire appraisal convention, she gambled on raw minerals and uncovered a specimen so rare it sold for three billion dollars on the spot. With that kind of luck and skill, capital was never her problem.”
Robert leaned back, lost in thought. “If that’s the case, the pieces finally fit. This girl keeps shattering every assumption I make about her. No wonder Sebastian is so devoted, and no wonder Lyla stood no chance. If even half of this is true, she’s a force to be reckoned with.”
Rowan hesitated before continuing. “So, what’s our move? Lilian isn’t someone to be trifled with. Every major play Skyreach Group has made over the last few years has been ruthless and efficient. Look at the Million Corp acquisition two years ago. She swallowed a massive corporation whole in less than a month, leaving nothing but dust behind. Is it worth making an enemy of her over one piece of land? Especially with Sebastian backing her. That man is cold–blooded and twice as dangerous. I’m worried that a direct conflict could cause irreparable damage to Soren Corp.”
“Do you honestly think Soren Corp is afraid of a four–year–old upstart?” Robert’s expression darkened. “I don’t care how talented she is; we have decades of history and power. One group makes a few bold moves and you lose your nerve? Rowan, you’re disappointing me.”
Rowan’s face paled. “Grandpa, I know Skyreach isn’t our equal, but we can’t ignore the man behind her. You saw him at the auction. His obsession with Lilian is no joke. A man who drops 9.9 billion on a piece of land just to give it away as a gift isn’t someone who plays by the rules.”
Robert’s eyes narrowed into thin slits. “Sebastian is a problem, certainly. But even a man like him isn’t invincible.”
