Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1256

Sebastian shot Brandon a flat look. "Don't tell me your family wants Lillian back out of genuine guilt."

They were two of a kind. There was no need to sugarcoat it.

Sebastian had dealt with the Mercers for years; he knew exactly how they operated.

They were incapable of feeling remorse for their actions. Their only driving force was an insatiable thirst for profit.

Lillian's new elite status and the Mercer Group's desperate financial crisis were the only reasons they wanted her back. It had absolutely nothing to do with regretting their past cruelty.

As for himself, Sebastian didn't even know what his feelings for Lillian were.

Was it love? He had never loved anyone in his life, but he knew how to weigh his options.

Given Lillian's current standing, remarrying her was an excellent strategic move for both of them.

They shared a son, and together, they could project the image of a flawless, enviable family.

Brandon clicked his tongue at Sebastian's bluntness. "You really are ruthless, Mr. Blake. I remember clearly how desperately Lillian used to chase after you. But lately, I've noticed a strikingly handsome young man by her side. You've been keeping close tabs on her, haven't you? Is that why you brought Noah back so urgently? To fend off the new guy? They seem awfully close. If I had to guess, I'd say he's her boyfriend. Am I right?"

The moment the words left Brandon's mouth, Sebastian stood up abruptly. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

It was the first time Brandon had ever seen the unflappable Sebastian Blake lose his cool.

To think your father would go to such lengths to win her back.

He used to be so arrogant, ordering her around like a servant, and now he's bringing his wife to grovel and beg for forgiveness every day. Tell me, does that happen every morning?"

The Mercer family's humiliation was supposed to be a closely guarded secret. It was one thing to lose face behind closed doors, but for Sebastian to have witnessed it—and now openly mock them—was infuriating.

"You enjoy watching the show that much?" Brandon asked stiffly.

"It's a rare sight. But I suppose I won't be seeing it again after today. What a pity!"
