Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 605

“A month from now will be too late,” Lillian said. “They’ll do everything they can to resume trading within two weeks. Otherwise, the Mercer Group really won’t make it.”

Lillian, after all, used to be a shareholder in the group, so she was very familiar with its operations, revenue, and all aspects of its finances.

But while she knew this, the Mercers had no idea how much she knew.

When she surrendered her shares, it wasn't because she was too proud to accept help from her family.

Of course, she already had plenty of money and didn't really care about her stake in the Mercer family's company anyway.

But most importantly, she had seen it coming long ago—the Mercer Group's days were numbered.

The shares she held would soon not only become worthless but also turn into a liability.

It was better to return them to the Mercer family than to hold on to them herself. They would have to figure out how to handle the mess.

“Ms. Mercer, you seem to know them too well. Do you know what their next move is?”

“They don't have a next move yet,” Lillian replied, “but based on their usual M.O., they won't let this go so easily.

They'll try to ride this wave of publicity, and they might even come after me again. If that's the case, I can't give them any openings.

So, I had to step forward today and block the path they were planning to take. That way, I can finally get back to my own career in peace.

They've already wasted too much of my time and energy. I can't give them any more chances.”

As Lillian finished speaking, the elevator doors opened, and she walked coolly into her office.

Ethan stood frozen in place, scratching his head. What a brilliant move, taking the legs out from under them.

Brandon's face had already darkened at the mention of the severance document. Hearing there was more, it turned even uglier.

“Also? Also what? Can't you just say it all at once?”

“Also, people online are saying the legal family severance was a result of what happened after Mrs. Mercer's miscarriage. Now that Ms. Lillian has publicly stated she won't forgive her, people online are saying that while it sounds like she's not forgiving Mrs. Mercer, it's really about her not forgiving Chairman Mercer and you two brothers. So this…”

Brandon was fuming, grinding his teeth in anger.

He had just managed to come up with a plan to launch a new PR campaign today, and now Lillian had to show up.

She was getting dragged through the mud online before, completely trashed, and she didn't say a single word to defend herself.

Why step forward at this critical moment? What the hell was this?
