Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1176

A coincidence?

More like a highly calculated ambush.

Lillian's heart sank slightly. Northwyn was a big city, but circles like this were small.

Still, ever since she cut ties with the Mercer men, she hadn't organically bumped into them anywhere.

Then again, she hadn't blocked Brandon's number recently. She had been quite enjoying the updates of the Mercer men warring with Sabrina and Bella.

She hadn't planned on interfering with the Mercer family drama—it wasn't her problem anymore.

But Brandon had gone as far as disguising himself in a security uniform just to sneak into her building, desperate to drag her back into their mess.

Since she didn't actually have to lift a finger to watch the chaos unfold, she let it happen.

It was free entertainment, after all.

Her mind raced, but she simply offered Beatrice a polite smile and stayed quiet.

At that moment, the Mercer men looked over.

Spotting her, Brandon stood up immediately and walked over.

"Lillian? You're eating here too? And this is... Beatrice? Grandma's old friend. It's been years! I hope you stay in Northwyn for a while."

Lillian watched him closely. It was obvious he hadn't formally met Beatrice before tonight.

Indeed, the Winthrops had kept a low profile since returning.

Martin and Colin quickly followed suit.

The Mercer men looked thoroughly surprised as they greeted Beatrice.
