Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 411

Martha stared at Lillian for a long time, completely surprised. "Miss Lillian, so this is the 'good life' you're living after leaving the Mercer family?"

Lillian let out a laugh. "It is, Martha. This is my good life. Now you don't have to worry about me not having enough money to pay your salaries, right?"

Martha was still a little uncertain. "Miss Lillian, that Bella Ward said your company was in trouble and you were broke. What's that all about?"

Lillian replied, "Perhaps thinking that brings her some comfort, some satisfaction. But they won't be satisfied for long. My company has made some new breakthroughs, and we'll be making an announcement soon. There should be quite a show to watch then."

Martha pressed, "So, you're really okay, Miss Lillian? You're not going to jail, and the company is fine, right?"

"Of course, everything's fine. Don't worry."

Ethan chimed in, "Not only is your Miss Lillian fine, but she's also rich. Very, very rich. Do you understand?"

Martha looked at Lillian. Very, very rich? That wasn't what she had heard. The rumor was that some other man was supporting Lillian, paying for everything. Was that just a rumor, completely untrue?

"Go see Grandmother," Lillian said. "She's here at Halfridge Villas too, though we don't know when she'll wake up."

Lillian knew all too well that the years before Sabrina Ward appeared had been truly harmonious. Though her father and brothers were still careless and inattentive, they were at least a complete family. A proper family. But now, it was shattered.

"It's already come to this. I don't want to dwell on the rest. I just want to be here for her. She still has family—her grandmother, and me."

Martha nodded. "Miss Lillian, seeing you living so well truly puts my mind at ease. I was afraid that after your father kicked you out, life would be very hard for you. As expected of the woman the matriarch raised—you're capable and strong. You won't be bullied anymore."

Lillian said, "Two years ago, I was foolish enough to walk into that trap willingly. But that doesn't mean I won't settle the score with them. When I went to prison, I thought I had just been blind and married a cheating husband. It was only after I got out that I learned Bella was Sabrina's daughter. That changes things. This isn't just about settling one score anymore. I will get back everything they took from my mother, with interest!"
