As soon as Old Mr. Blake spoke, his wife immediately understood. "You mean Lillian?"
He nodded. "Noah is her son, after all. Entrusting the Blake Group to Lillian might be the only way to see it safely through this crisis."
Mrs. Blake grew anxious. "But…" She trailed off, then sighed and looked down. "Wouldn't that be so unfair to her?
A few years ago, we were abroad, thinking she could manage things at home, so we washed our hands of everything.
But then, because of Sebastian's schemes, she ended up in prison for two years.
And such huge news was kept from us the entire time.
We weren't there for her when she needed us most, we didn't offer help when she was at her lowest.
And now, in this situation, we're going to pin all our hopes on her.
Isn't that… asking too much?"
Mrs. Blake still had a conscience and was keenly aware of how much the Blake family had wronged Lillian.
Old Mr. Blake said, "I know we've wronged her. But in this situation, who else can we trust? We should find some time to meet with Lillian, to see where she stands."
Mrs. Blake nodded. It was unfair to Lillian, but for the sake of the Blake family's future, the old couple would have to swallow their pride and ask.
A few years ago, they had underestimated Sebastian's capacity for causing disaster. They thought that with Lillian around, she would surely manage the family affairs well.
But Noah's illness had affected her, causing her to pour all her energy into her child.
In the end, that was how Sebastian was able to get the upper hand and have her thrown in jail.
