Lilian walked up to Sebastian, noticing the way he was staring at her. She laughed softly. “What? Stunned into silence?”

He reached out and pulled her close by the waist, his gaze intense. “Completely. I didn’t realize you could pull off this level of authority so easily. It makes me want to hide you away from the world.”

A flush of color touched her cheeks. “Stop with the smooth talk. Honestly, it’s my first time dressing like this and it feels a bit foreign, but today isn’t exactly a casual Friday.”

Sebastian gently tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “You look incredible. I have no doubt you’re going to own that room today.”

“I hope so,” Lilian said, her smile turning thoughtful. “I’m just waiting to see what ‘surprise‘ the Sorens have waiting for me.” She knew they wouldn’t just sit idly by while she tried to clear her name.

“They’re just playing small games,” Sebastian said dismissively. “Rowan met with Chloe a few days ago. I expect they’ll try to weaponize your family history against you.”

Lilian paused, then let out a cold laugh. “He really went through the trouble of tracking down Chloe? I suppose it makes sense. Out of everyone in that family, she’s the one who hates me the most. In her head, I’m the monster who ruined her life. Now that she knows I’m the one who took over their company, she’s probably out for blood. As for my father… he might hate me too, but I doubt he even knows how to face me anymore.”

Sebastian’s expression softened with concern as he ran a hand through her hair. “Don’t dwell on it. Business is cutthroat by nature. Regardless of your history with Henry, his company went under because he was outmatched. Even if Skyreach hadn’t stepped in, the path he chose had already guaranteed their bankruptcy. It was only a matter of time.”

“It’s fine,” Lilian said. “Let them hate me. I don’t regret what I did, and I’d make the same choice all over again. I was perfectly happy leaving the Sinclairs in the past, but if Chloe is determined to force her way into my life today, she’s going to regret it.”

“I’ll be behind you, no matter what you decide,” Sebastian promised.

Foster stepped into the room, checking his watch. “Sir, everything is ready. It’s time to head out.”

Lilian looked at Sebastian in surprise. “You’re coming too?”

“This is your moment,” he said, his eyes full of warmth. “Even if I’m not sitting up there with you, I’ll be watching from the sidelines I want to be there for every major milestone in your life.”

Lilian looked at him, touched by the sincerity in his voice. She leaned in and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. “Thank you,

Sebastian.”
