With that, she quickly found an excuse and hurried away.
She happened to run into Ethan on her way downstairs.
Seeing Lillian’s face so red it looked like it was about to bleed, Ethan’s heart ached.
What had the young master and Ms. Mercer been doing? He’d missed it. He hadn't seen a thing.
Leonard stood upstairs, watching her go, and couldn't help but smile.

The Mercer Estate.
As soon as Bella got home, she pulled her mother into a room for a private chat.
“Mom, on Monday, we have to act fast. This time, we’re not going to buy at the peak.”
The Mercer Group’s stock price had been pushed up again by the closing bell.
So, Bella was still confident she could make a fortune.
But a faint sense of unease lingered in her heart.
After all, she had borrowed a significant amount of money to invest.
However, when she factored in the interest and the money Debbie had borrowed from her, which could offset the debt, her anxiety subsided.
She figured that, at worst, she could just get the money back from Debbie and still come out ahead. Plus, she was about to marry Sebastian and become Mrs. Blake; she wouldn’t be short on money in the future.
She was still willing to gamble on this chance for the Mercer family to strike it rich.
Of course, Lillian had no idea that the money she had given Debbie was never coming back.
