Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 272

Lillian hadn’t expected to return just in time for this event.

Bella was certainly something else.

Just yesterday she'd bought Lillian's shares, and in a flash, she was already making achievements at the Blake Group.

No wonder Sebastian was in such a hurry to divorce her. He must have been afraid of losing his chance with Bella if he waited any longer.

Looking at the invitation, Lillian thought for a moment and said, “By the way, they didn't send an invitation to me specifically, so they probably don't want me there, right? If I go with you, will I be stopped at the door?”

Lillian wanted to join in on the excitement, but she was afraid they wouldn't let her in.

She understood that Bella had sent the invitation to Victor because she wanted to poach him.

Even after he had crashed the wedding, many had given up on that idea.

After all, seeing Victor attend the wedding as Lillian's companion and helping her raise hell without a second thought was enough to prove one thing: Victor was Lillian's man.

Fiercely loyal.

After a while, people stopped wasting their efforts.

It seemed Bella was still persistent and wanted to keep trying to recruit him.

Victor said, “It's fine. If we can't get in, we won't go. What they’re doing isn't that difficult anyway.

“If we can't watch the press conference in person, can't we just watch it online?

“For me, going to the live event is more of a waste of time.

“I'd rather watch it online. I can monitor user reviews and gather market feedback in real-time.”

Lillian smiled. “Watching it live has its advantages. You're just too much of a homebody. You should get out more.

“Now that you're working, it’s a good opportunity for you to see the world outside.”

Victor replied, “I have no interest in that. Socializing is a pain. How can it compare to these obedient and lovely lines of code?

“Besides, that stepsister of yours is clearly a schemer. A straightforward guy like me is no match for her.

“I offended her mother last time, and I wouldn't go even if she offered me a high salary. If you hadn't suggested going, I would have just skipped it.”

Victor had indeed planned to give the invitation to Emma and have her go in his place.

After all, Emma was now in a senior position at the company, handling most of the management tasks. It would be perfectly appropriate for her to attend such an event on his behalf.

“If you don't go, are you just going to let this invitation go to waste? That's not right. The Blake Group is a major company. It wouldn’t look good not to show up.”

However, Lillian felt that talking to Victor about these things was probably pointless.

If he understood the nuances of social etiquette, he wouldn’t be so direct and such a homebody.

“I can just have Emma go, can't I? I just don't want to waste an invitation. It's not about giving the Blake Group face.”

Lillian couldn't help but laugh. “Alright, get back to work. My workload will be light for the next few days, so most of the work will still fall on you. Thanks for your hard work.”
