Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1486

The signing officially began. As Lillian signed her name on the dotted line, the Winthrop family finally let out a collective breath of relief.

Lillian looked up and offered Beatrice a warm smile. The older woman's face was etched with deep gratitude.

Securing a partnership with Lillionix was absolutely crucial for the Winthrops at this stage.

There were some hard truths they couldn't share with outsiders, but the only reason the family had held on this long was entirely due to Beatrice.

It was no exaggeration to say she was single-handedly propping up the Winthrop name right now.

Because the Winthrop factory was relatively new to this specific industry and lacked extensive experience, the contract was filled with incredibly stringent clauses. Yet, the Winthrops had accepted every single one without complaint.

None of Lillionix's other manufacturing partners had to agree to such aggressive terms.

After the paperwork was finalized, Beatrice walked over, her face beaming with pride as she looked at Lillian.

"Lillian, I used to work alongside your grandmother, and now our family is in business with you. It really feels like destiny."

Lillian smiled softly. "I hope for a very successful partnership, Beatrice."

Beatrice nodded emphatically. "Yes, a successful partnership. I'm thrilled to be working with you, Lillian. We're going to build something highly profitable together. Actually, since today is such a joyous occasion, we need to celebrate properly. I'm cooking dinner tonight—a few of your favorite dishes. Come over to the house, and we'll celebrate."

With the matriarch offering to cook personally, Lillian found it difficult to refuse.

"Alright. I'll come over after work. I just hope you don't mind that I travel with quite a large entourage these days."

Given her current status and her health, she needed a security detail with her at all times. Even when visiting the Winthrops, she couldn't rely on others to manage her needs.
