Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 467

The bodyguards and Ethan escorted Lillian forward.

But after a few steps, she stopped, turned back to the reporters, and smiled. “I’ve decided to let this go. Why don’t you all try doing a good deed and report on something positive for a change? You should stay away from these kinds of dirty tricks.”

Ethan tugged on her sleeve from behind and whispered, “The boss said not to let them bully you.”

Lillian replied, “It’s free publicity. Why turn it down?”

Ethan was bewildered. “But… Ms. Mercer, it’s not like we’re short on an advertising budget.”

Lillian just smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Did she just want free publicity and traffic?

Of course not.

After the reporters were driven away, stories quickly began to appear online, but they were all still highly unflattering to Lillian.

Three days passed, and Lillian’s reputation showed no signs of improving.

Meanwhile, rumors of her company’s impending collapse spread like wildfire, until it seemed like common knowledge.

Yet Lillian herself remained calm and unhurried.

Ethan, on the other hand, was a nervous wreck. The new product launch was already in the planning stages. If this negative press continued, it could derail the whole thing.

Could he afford to take responsibility for that failure?

As the three days passed, the situation for the Mercer family grew more desperate.

Martin was still in custody, and Sabrina and Bella spent every day avoiding any discussion of co-signing a loan to bail him out.

Although most of the media attention was focused on Lillian, the pressure on them was still considerable.

Finally, Brandon and Colin cornered them in the hospital room.
