Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 641

Lillian smiled, and Emma nodded before walking out.

Lillian's workload wasn't actually that heavy anymore.

Lately, she wanted to free up more time to spend with her family.

Mr. Peregrine's arrival had given Lillian hope for her grandmother's recovery.

At the very least, she wanted her grandmother to have a few more years of life—to live with dignity and a real quality of life, not just wither away in a vegetative state..

Lillian hadn't had much time to pay attention to the Mercer family's affairs these past two days, but now she opened her laptop to take a look.

The Mercer Group's stock had not yet resumed trading. It looked like it would be a while longer.

A notification popped up on her phone about Sabrina's apology livestream from the day before. The Mercer Group had been blasting the apology on a loop, shamelessly milking the staged performance for every drop of public sympathy.

However, Lillian felt nothing but disdain for it.

Because of the Mercer Group's grand, continuous apologies, many netizens were now sympathizing with Sabrina, who was livestreaming her apology from a hospital bed.

But none of those netizens had ever experienced what she and her mother had gone through. How dare they suggest that she could forgive Sabrina?

It was as if they were being generous on her behalf, without bearing any of the suffering she and her mother had endured.

It's so easy to tell others to be kind when you're not the one suffering.

Lillian merely skimmed the news, feeling no goodwill. When she came across a particularly outrageous comment, she just scoffed.

At the Mercer Group.

The more the PR head spoke, the darker Brandon's expression became.

She trailed off, sensing the shift. "Mr. Mercer, did I say something wrong?"

Brandon snapped back to the present. "The current situation is indeed in our favor. Seize on this, hire some online shills to help guide the narrative and do some marketing.

In any case, the most important thing is to restore the Mercer Group's reputation as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Mr. Mercer. Rest assured, we've been doing just that."

Just as she finished, there was another knock on the door. Brandon waved the PR head out and called, "Come in."

"Mr. Mercer, the payment for the project from the Blake Group was due the day before yesterday, but the money still hasn't arrived. They've always paid in advance before, but this time it's two days late with no deposit. When we inquired, they just said they haven't initiated the payment yet.

Should... should you contact them personally, Mr. Mercer?"
