Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 280

Martin was stunned by the news. He hadn't expected Sebastian and Lillian to already be divorced.

He knew his daughter to some extent.

She had pursued Sebastian so relentlessly back then. How could she agree to a divorce so quickly and without a fight?

It was completely beyond his expectations.

Shouldn't she have dragged it out for a while, fought a little?

Or at least tried to get a larger share of the assets from Sebastian?

“Divorced? How could something this major happen without me knowing a thing?

Did Sebastian initiate it, or was it that troublesome daughter of mine?

This was a business alliance. A divorce should involve both families, right?

We should have discussed things, negotiated…”

Brandon cut him off before he could continue with the rest of his thoughts.

“Do you really think this is something we can control?” he said. “How much of our company’s business still relies on Sebastian’s help?

Do you think he’d listen to our opinion about his divorce from Lillian?

And Lillian… she’s had a mind of her own since she was a child, always backed by Grandma and Mom. She’s used to making her own decisions.

She went after Sebastian when she wanted him. Now, after he sided with Bella and let her go to prison for two years, she’s demanding a divorce. Do you think we can change her mind?

From what I can see, Sebastian still has some lingering feelings for Lillian. If you go and stir things up, you’ll extinguish what’s left of that, and that would be truly detrimental to the Mercer family in the long run.”

Martin was left speechless. He did want to secure more benefits for the Mercer family, but it was clear that in this situation, it was impossible.

Fortunately, Sebastian had always been willing to provide the Mercer family with resources; otherwise, the Mercer Group wouldn't be doing so well now.

“Fine. I’ll go see Lillian today.”

With that, Martin stood up, ready to leave his work and go find Lillian.

“You should probably try to contact her first. Getting into Halfridge Villas isn’t easy.

I heard even Sebastian had to wait outside for a long time. The same will probably happen to you.”
