Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1053

"The Mercer brothers went to bail her out. She'll likely be released soon."

"The Mercer brothers are treating her that well?"

"They also tried to attend the St. Kingsley University anniversary today and pulled every string they had to get invitations. But they acted too late. The university had no extra invites, and security at the gates was incredibly strict today. The administration was likely paranoid about uninvited guests slipping in, so the Mercer brothers were denied entry."

"Understood," Sebastian murmured.

After Lester finished his report and clocked out, Sebastian pulled out his phone to scroll through the trending posts.

The threads he had paid to boost were naturally sitting at the top, but he found himself much more captivated by the flood of posts from St. Kingsley students gushing about Lillian.

There were photos of her from every conceivable angle. Her face was absolutely stunning—a radiant complexion that looked flawless no matter the lighting.

The young students weren't holding back their praise, practically worshiping her beauty and brilliance.

There were animated GIFs, too, capturing her elegance in breathtaking detail.

As Sebastian scrolled, he found himself unconsciously saving image after image to his phone.

He didn't know exactly when it had happened, but genuine feelings for Lillian had taken root in his heart.

He truly admired her—not just for her striking looks, but for her sheer capability.

Watching her deliver her speech from the second-floor balcony earlier today, he had been completely mesmerized.

He never realized she could be this captivating.

Her presentation had been magnetic. For someone in the same industry like him, listening to her speak sparked a deep sense of anticipation and hope for the future.

The industry's prospects were thrilling, and having a visionary talent like Lillian leading the way was a once-in-a-lifetime miracle.
