Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1141

At least her career wouldn't stab her in the heart the way her ungrateful son did.

Leonard sat beside her, pouring tea and setting out pastries, while she occasionally unmuted to give decisive input.

It was a picture of domestic and professional harmony.

Sometimes, when a critical data point came up, Leonard would lean in to ask a perceptive question or offer a strategic suggestion.

She never hid her corporate affairs from him, so having him sit in was completely natural.

Halfway through, Ethan stepped into the room and lowered his voice. "The elder Blakes have arrived."

Lillian gave a brief nod. "Show them in."

The meeting was only at the halfway mark, but Leonard could monitor the rest.

Ethan nodded and went to fetch Old Mr. Blake and Old Mrs. Blake.

He was clearly still harboring delusions of winning her back.

"Lillian, we are so terribly sorry."

Lillian shook her head mildly. "Why are you apologizing? You've always been wonderful to me. You owe me nothing.
