Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 529

Ethan swallowed nervously. "Um... the Mercers. It looks like they're about to cash out. Probably tomorrow. Sir, isn't... isn't that important?"

Lillian said, "Alright, you've made your report, so you can go. Or did you want to stay and watch us?"

Ethan seized the opportunity and quickly fled the room.

Leonard grumbled, "You're too nice to him."

Lillian smiled. "Don't be too hard on him. I've never seen anyone so loyally protective of you."

At the mention of Ethan's loyalty, Leonard smiled.

He and Ethan would probably be like this for the rest of their lives.

Ethan was a good person, or at least one who knew how to repay a kindness.

Leonard had saved both of his parents, which was why Ethan had been by his side since he was a boy.

Whatever Leonard learned, Ethan learned too.

When Leonard's health prevented him from studying, Ethan learned how to take care of him.

That's why Ethan was so capable now. Many people had tried to poach him, but no amount of money could lure him away.

The two of them returned to the topic of dealing with the Mercers.

"It seems your timing is perfect."

Lillian was truly impressed with Leonard. In this regard, he was truly unmatched.

Leonard explained, "The Mercers' financial situation is dire right now. They basically can't scrape together any cash. When a golden opportunity like this suddenly appears, of course they're going to grab it.

If they can pull in over a billion from this, the Mercer family will be revitalized.

I have to admit, they're not great at business these days, but they're pretty good at manipulating public opinion."

Their daily life together was gentle and warm. These peaceful, flowing days gave her a deep sense of security.

Lillian felt at ease, and Leonard loved being so close to her.

He was a formidable force in the business world, yet around Lillian, he instantly transformed into a doting partner, like a well-behaved puppy. It was a fascinating dynamic.

Friday.

The entire Mercer family was excited. Even Brandon and Colin, who had drunk quite a bit the night before, were in unusually high spirits.

If she hadn't been worried about Sebastian's reaction, Bella would have taken the day off to go to the Mercer Group headquarters.

This time, however, Sebastian was surprisingly understanding of Bella's feelings.

Sebastian had also been keeping a close eye on the Mercer Group's situation.

When he was married to Lillian, Sebastian had used his personal funds to invest in Mercer Group stock, but his investment had been underwater for years.
