Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1562

The stark contrast between the past and present easily created a suffocating illusion.

While Lillian Mercer was still lost in her thoughts, Ethan Hayes walked over and handed her a face mask.

Snapping back to reality, she took it, slipped it on, and walked inside with him.

As they navigated the dusty floor, she turned to him. "Grandmother used to value these production lines so much. She had such an incredible eye for business, such vision.

As the manufacturing industry grew tougher, a lot of the Mercer family's projects slowly failed.

But these specific assembly lines always kept the Mercer Group profitable. Conservatively speaking, they should have been fine for another ten years.

It's just a shame that Grandmother is no longer in charge. She doesn't have to see how the Mercer family's most lucrative asset has been completely trashed.

Sometimes, I worry that when she finally wakes up, she won't be able to handle how much the family has fallen apart.

I don't even know if she'll be able to accept the decisions I've made.

Honestly, I'm terrified of her waking up, but I'm also desperately hoping for it."

It was rare for Ethan to hear Lillian sound so defeated.

She sounded heartbroken, devastated, and openly admitted her fear.

"Ms. Mercer, they're just a few production lines. If you like them and the Mercer family doesn't want them anymore, you can just buy them outright.

If you don't want to show your face, I'll do it. I'll buy them, find a warehouse, and get these machines running again.

Who cares if they're still profitable right now? Even if they run at a loss, it doesn't matter.

With your net worth, keeping a few assembly lines running is just pocket change.

Every wealthy person has their expensive hobbies. My boss, for instance, loves buying real estate. It burns a ton of cash.

You don't really have any extravagant hobbies, and you have more money than you know what to do with.

Even if these lines stop making a profit one day, just treat them as a passion project.
