Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1561

"Ethan, keep your eyes open and stay sharp. Understand?" Leonard instructed.

Ethan nodded immediately. "Don't worry, Boss. I know exactly what to do."

Ethan was sharp enough that he didn't need it spelled out. He knew how to handle a hostile room.

Lillian got into the car, and they started driving toward the Mercer factory district. Suddenly, Brandon sent her the address of a high-end country club.

Lillian sent back a single question mark.

Brandon replied: 'I brought the blueprints and files. It's much better to chat here over coffee than in a dusty office.'

Lillian rolled her eyes. The country club was comfortable, sure. There was table service and luxury seating. But it was completely inappropriate for their current dynamic. You only met at places like that with people you actually enjoyed talking to.

They were not those people.

Honestly, Lillian felt she had been far too lenient with the Mercers lately. Giving them an inch had made them think they were entitled to a mile.

She didn't waste a single extra word, replying flatly: 'Meet at the factory.'

She knew exactly where the facility was, so she just told Ethan to keep driving.

When Brandon received the text, he was speechless.

Sitting across from Tristan in the plush club, he suddenly had no idea how to explain why they were abruptly changing venues.

But since Lillian was already heading to the factory, he didn't have much of a choice. He just had to follow her lead.

As for Tristan...

"Uh, Lillian said she wants to meet at the factory. She probably heard I'm planning to launch a new facility, so she's heavily invested in the details. You know how she is, always in workaholic mode. Since she carved out time on a Saturday, we should probably just do what she says."

Tristan looked skeptical. He strongly suspected Lillian simply refused to listen to Brandon.

But since he was already here and desperate to make progress, he would go wherever she went.
