Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1174

Tristan, usually a man of few words, spoke fluently when it came to business.

He provided a pitch that was even more detailed than the dossier he had originally submitted to Lillian's team.

At the end, he added with a hint of embarrassment, "To be completely transparent, our new facility doesn't truly have the qualifications to compete with the other bidders.

I apologize for the unorthodox approach we took in reaching out to Miss Bennett. We just desperately wanted the opportunity to present our case."

Lillian understood. Tristan was explaining why he had bypassed her and delivered the documents to her subordinate instead.

She smiled and looked toward Beatrice.

"Beatrice, given your relationship with my grandmother, there was no need for all this secrecy. You should have just told me when you visited the house."

Beatrice looked slightly abashed but quickly recovered her poise. "Thank you, Lillian. That friendship belongs to me and your grandmother.

Professionally, we should have gone through the proper channels. We were out of line.

But thank goodness you're willing to hear us out. Tristan rushed back to the country specifically to set up this plant. It was only after I arrived that I learned you were looking for manufacturing partners.

Our domestic factory is brand new and we don't have many orders lined up yet, so naturally, we want to work with you.

But business is business. You need to inspect our equipment, our technology, and our workforce to see if they meet your standards.

If it's a good fit, I'll put my pride on the line and ask for this partnership.

If it's not, if we can't meet your requirements, I won't force the issue.

Lillian, your grandmother is my dearest friend, but I would never use that to leech off your success.
