Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 223

The executives in the conference room immediately grew tense.

"Ms. Mercer, are you okay?"

Lillian gave a wry smile. "There's no need to overreact, everyone. I'm fine now, so please don't worry.

"I'm currently in a recovery and observation period. I should be back at the company next week.

"I hope you can all keep this confidential.

"Especially from my brother, the Mercer family, or the Blake Group."

Lillian's management team was mostly composed of the old guard that Bella had pushed out of the company, people who had been loyal to her for years, even during her absence.

They all knew about her relationship with Sebastian and were now her staunchest supporters. Her words naturally carried weight.

Everyone nodded, promising not to spread the word.

Lillian looked at Victor through the screen. "Victor, give Brandon my address here. Tell him to come find me."

Being sick at home and under the doctor's watchful eye was becoming a bit dull.

The thought of the Mercer family drama actually piqued her interest.

She was looking for the right opportunity to finalize her divorce from Sebastian and have the Mercer family cast her out, severing ties with them completely.

It wasn't that she was heartless, but there were some things she simply couldn't forgive.

A total of sixteen villas were built on this entire hillside, and they were highly sought after in Northwyn.

Even Sebastian had missed out because he acted too late, let alone the Mercer family, who didn't have as much cash on hand.

When Halfridge Villas was the talk of Northwyn, everyone had gossiped about the exclusive community.

Only two or three of Northwyn's top families had managed to secure a property; the rest were bought at high prices by tycoons from other cities or abroad.

This was all because the land had a prime location, situated on a hillside with an excellent view.

Many people would have killed to buy a place here just for the location.

Brandon never imagined that Lillian, whose whereabouts they couldn't even track down before, was actually living in the long-forgotten Halfridge Villas!
