Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 432

She was already busy with work. When did she have time to deal with the Mercers?

Besides, it was almost time to go home.

Someone was waiting for her, and she didn't have time to waste on others.

Martin waited, asking the receptionist about Lillian over and over, only to be told each time that she was busy.

He finally exploded, "Busy? Busy with what? That pathetic company of hers is about to go bankrupt. How busy can she be? Besides, I know what she's capable of—or not capable of. Busy? Does she even know the first thing about running a tech company? How could she possibly be busy with that?"

As Martin was making a scene, people began leaving the office building for the day.

As the chairman of a major corporation, he was easily recognizable. People were also aware of the Mercer family gossip, so many of them stopped to stare.

Everyone had always been curious about what Lillian's company was actually doing. They couldn't believe their luck, hearing such juicy gossip right as they were leaving work.

No one would have guessed that Lillian's company, which had managed to recruit a genius like Victor, was supposedly just an empty shell.

Lillian's employees were notoriously tight-lipped. Many had tried to get information from them, but no one ever succeeded. And now they were hearing all this.

Someone even recorded Martin's rant, and the news spread quickly through their social circles.

Lillian always left work on time, but she couldn't account for Ethan dragging his feet.

Watching the minutes tick by on her watch, she finally lost her patience. It had already been ten minutes.

"Are you serious? You're still not done? Should I hire more people to help you out? Ethan, I've never seen you this busy. Do you save all your work for the last minute? Are you doing this on purpose? Does your boss know you're such a slacker? Does he dock your pay?"
