Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1429

"As long as you want to, you can take her anywhere you want from now on."

Lillian smiled. He was right. She could take her mother anywhere.

Why shouldn't she?

Just because her mother was mentally ill meant she had no right to exist in public?

Did she have to be locked away in the dark?

Was her mere presence an embarrassment?

Absolutely not.

The ones who should be embarrassed were the morally bankrupt monsters who had hurt her and then shoved her into hiding because they were too ashamed to be seen with her.

Nearby, Ethan Hayes was even more hyped than Eleanor. "Ms. Mercer, count me in for the party! I love a good feast."

Lillian: "..."

He didn't love the feast; he loved the drama.

But it was a minor request, so Lillian agreed.

"No problem."

After leaving Halfridge Villas, Sebastian was supposed to rush back to the office for meetings.

But halfway there, he ordered the driver to turn the car around and head straight home.

As soon as he walked in, he found Noah. "Noah, go write The Birthday Invitation right now. I'll have the driver take you to hand-deliver it to your mom.

"She already agreed. As long as you write it yourself, she will definitely come."

Noah hesitated.

Sebastian pushed, "Didn't you read the files I gave you? You should know by now that your mom is an incredibly powerful woman.

"She's phenomenal. Countless people are begging to work with her. You wouldn't want to waste an opportunity like this, would you?

Sincerity? What was that? With how much she used to dote on him, just receiving a handwritten card would be enough to make her go crazy with joy.

Besides, he had been giving her the cold shoulder for so long. She had to be dying for an invitation from him.

She wouldn't care about sincerity.

"Dad, she really wants to come to my party. If I write it, she'll come.

"I'm worried that if I go in person and mess things up, it'll ruin everything..."

Before he could finish, Sebastian caved.

"Fine. I'll have Lester deliver it. Just write the card."

Noah was relieved. Yes, he had read the files. He knew she was powerful now.

But deep down, he still felt uncomfortable.

So what if she was powerful? She had still been to prison, hadn't she?
