Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1028

Ethan had no idea that Brandon was already plotting his termination in his head.

He was just eyeing the dishes being served, noting that the Mercer brothers had really spared no expense tonight!

They had dumped a fortune into this meal.

Everything they ordered was astronomically expensive, which worked out perfectly for him.

It seemed the brothers had hit peak desperation in their attempt to win Lillian back.

Why else would they order an entire table of such luxurious cuisine?

Even for high-end business banquets, people usually ordered two or three premium dishes, with the rest being standard fare.

Ethan shot Lillian a knowing look, and she easily deduced the sheer extravagance laid out before them.

Brandon had definitely hemorrhaged cash for this spread. But Lillian wasn't going to be swayed by an expensive dinner.

Catching her scanning the table, Brandon immediately urged, "Lillian, we ordered all of this especially for you. Come on, let's eat while we chat, alright?"

Lillian gave Sienna a glance. Catching the cue, the nutritionist quickly stepped forward and unpacked the meticulously prepared meals for Lillian.

Brandon stared in utterly dumbfounded silence. Both brothers were in shock.

What was going on?

Lillian came to a restaurant and brought her own food?

This...

"Lillian, what... what is the meaning of this?"

Even with the company's finances in ruins, Brandon had bled his wallet dry for this lavish spread, only for Lillian to bring a packed lunch?

Lillian remained perfectly composed. "It's nothing. You both know my health condition. I generally don't eat outside food. What I brought are the medicinal meals prescribed by Mr. Peregrine and prepared by my professional nutritionist.

But don't worry! She might not be able to eat it, but I certainly can!

I promise not to let your incredible hospitality go to waste. Hahaha..."

Laughing loudly, Ethan casually picked up a fork.

Taking charge of the table, he beckoned to them. "Come on, grab your silverware! These premium ingredients need to be eaten the moment they're served.

Otherwise, the flavor profiles will change, and you won't get to enjoy them at their absolute best."

With that, he gleefully dug in.

The table was laden with imported premium seafood, which happened to be right up Ethan's alley.

Those delicacies were intended to impress Lillian, but once she took her utensils from Sienna, she exclusively ate her own food, not even sparing a glance at the feast before her.

Brandon felt like coughing up blood. She didn't even have the slightest desire to taste the exquisite banquet he had paid for.
