Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 122

Lillian pulled out her phone and saw it was a call from the office. She answered immediately.

Before she could say a word, a familiar yet distant voice came through. “Li, that’s not cool. I’m here to report for duty, but where are you?”

Hearing that voice, Lillian quickened her pace.

“Half an hour. Wait for me.”

With that, Lillian hung up, walked out of the villa into the courtyard, got into her own car, and drove off.

It was only today that the Mercer family realized Lillian drove a supercar worth over fifty million.

Colin’s jaw dropped. “My God, that car Lillian’s driving... Where did she get that kind of money?”

Martin scoffed. “Who else but Nathan? She used to rely on her father, then her husband Sebastian. Now she wants a divorce, rebels, and finds some rich guy on the outside. I don’t know who she takes after. I never realized she had it in her.”

Brandon cut in, “Dad, you should watch what you say to Lillian from now on. No matter how bad things get, we’re still family. You need her if you want to divorce Mom and marry Ms. Ward, don’t you?

Who else but Lillian can get the Lancaster family in Midvale to sign that agreement for you?

Unlike us, Lillian wasn’t raised to learn business.

When she was a kid, Mom would take her to our grandparents’ house in Midvale for summer and winter breaks.

She’s always been charming, and the Lancaster family elders have always thought the world of her.

If Sabrina hadn’t been making a fuss, it wouldn’t even be the right time to be discussing a divorce with Mom.”

For years, Brandon had actually opposed his parents’ divorce.

That was why Sabrina had been living with them for two years without any promise of marriage from Martin.

The reason Brandon was finally relenting was because Sebastian had secured the government project, and Bella had been appointed as its head.

Brandon saw a greater benefit in this new alliance and was willing to concede on the divorce.

By deeply binding Bella to the Mercer family, the Mercers could legitimately get a piece of the pie.

However, Brandon also started to see potential in Lillian.

Before, he had been impatient with her. He had thought that as her brother, what was good for the Mercer family would also benefit Lillian, but she had been ungrateful. So, he lost his patience.

But now, he found her a bit hard to read, so Brandon decided to be patient and see how things played out.

Martin grumbled, “What good is it if the Lancasters approve of her? The Lancaster family is nothing compared to what it used to be.”

“Dad, you can’t say that. Grandma’s family may not have much left, but their network is still intact. Aren’t you still using it?”

Martin was at a loss for words; his father’s point was valid. The network was still there.

It might come in handy one day.

Seeing no point in arguing, Martin dropped the subject and sent a message to Sabrina, letting her know the divorce proceedings were underway.
