Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1151

Also, about the Winthrop family's factory—I didn't see it in Leonard's notes. How did the discussion go?"

Celia hesitated. "To be honest, Ms. Mercer, we only accepted their portfolio out of respect for you. We don't actually know anything about their operational capacity. How about you do a site visit first, get a feel for the place, and compare it to their paperwork before we bring it up in a formal meeting? We can just do a quick review then."

Lillian nodded. "Fair enough. Since it's a personal favor, I won't tie up company resources. I'll arrange a private meeting with the Winthrops on Saturday and check it out myself."

Celia breathed a sigh of relief. That was one less headache for her.

She wasn't entirely sure how deep Lillian's personal ties with the Winthrop family ran.

And as for the quality of their newly opened factory, that was something only an on-site inspection could reveal.

That afternoon, Lillionix arranged inspections for two factories located right there in Northwyn.

These were the two candidates Lillian and Celia favored most.

For one, the technology was mature. The factories had been operating for years and boasted stellar reputations in the industry.

Secondly, they were close by. Even in a partnership, Lillionix would be the client. Proximity made it infinitely easier to monitor operations at a moment's notice.

There was another promising candidate in Havenport. Lillian was highly impressed by their tech specs, but flying out for an inspection would take two days. Instead of going herself, she decided to send Celia on a business trip.

Celia was incredibly competent. Lillian trusted her judgment completely.

That same afternoon, Lillian's team toured the factories in Northwyn.
