Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1335

"This has absolutely nothing to do with you. If they want to make decisions on their own, they can deal with the fallout themselves."

The news coming out of the Mercer Group wasn't met with any denial from Lillian, which only bolstered Brandon's confidence.

He even sought out Tristan Winthrop for advice on how to get the factory up and running.

Beatrice Winthrop had already instructed her grandson to offer the Mercer family any assistance they might need regarding the plant.

Tristan was puzzled. "Grandma, we're definitely going to secure the Lillionix contract, but the Mercers are building an identical factory.

"Won't they be stealing our business down the line?

"Why should we help them now? Does that make sense?"

Miles Winthrop, who was playing on his phone nearby, couldn't help but glance up at his older brother.

His brother was truly brilliant.

Miles just smirked but kept his mouth shut.

Beatrice finally spoke up. "Lillionix belongs to Lillian, and Lillian is ultimately a Mercer. Blood is thicker than water.

"The Mercers are pulling out all the stops to win her back. It won't be long before they're one big happy family again.

"When that happens, just like the rumors say, even if Lillionix doesn't outright merge with the Mercer Group, the Mercers will definitely have a say in how her company is run.

"Under these circumstances, if the Mercer Group wants to learn a thing or two from us about building a factory, why shouldn't we oblige?

"Besides, our families go way back. It would be rude to refuse.

"If they end up as one family, this favor will be a trivial matter.

Beatrice smiled. "Yes, all my hopes are resting on you two now."

Over at the Mercer Group, the factory project was officially greenlit.

Brandon wrapped up his work early and headed straight back to Halfridge Villas.

He had a more pressing issue to handle: he needed to fix Noah's attitude. The boy came from Lillian's womb; how could he not love his own mother?

Brandon was worried that if he wasn't home, Bella would find a way to secretly contact Noah.

However, what he didn't realize was that Bella was already swamped with her own problems.

The moment the $1.2 billion hit Debbie Harris's account, Bella was ecstatic in her office.

But now she faced a massive hurdle. She had no idea when Lucas would manage to get Debbie out.
