Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1221

Whichever path Lillian chose, Brandon felt he could accept it.

Seeing Brandon's expression soften, Beatrice looked even more pleased.

But Brandon still voiced his concerns. "At Halfridge Villas today, I saw a young man named Leonard. He seemed very close to Lillian.

"I don't know if they're dating, but if they are, this marriage alliance won't be easy to pitch.

"If we push it, Lillian will definitely refuse."

Beatrice had never expected Lillian to be entirely without male company after her divorce.

She had been young once. She had been widowed early and held immense power.

Successful, beautiful women like them always attracted admirers.

So, she didn't care if Lillian had a toy boy on the side.

She wouldn't do anything to jeopardize her family or bring scandal to her marriage.

"And as for that Sabrina woman, if she won't behave, just get rid of her."

Martin hated hearing that.

"Aunt Beatrice, don't worry. I'll make sure she apologizes properly and clears Lillian's anger."

Beatrice wanted to roll her eyes. The man was a love-blinded fool.

She honestly worried that his obsession with Sabrina would delay mending fences with Lillian, which could ruin the marriage alliance altogether.
