[What kind of toxic family dynamic do you have to have to know absolutely nothing about your own daughter? Asking the real questions here!]
[I can't even imagine how awful that father and brother must be. Thank God she severed ties when she did.]
[There is definitely something deeply wrong with the Mercers. The chairman, Martin Mercer, was exposed just a while ago for spending half his life tangled up with a mistress. Does anyone remember the mistress doing that live-stream apology? Looking at all the shady moves the Mercer Group has pulled, doesn't getting kicked out of that house seem like a blessing in disguise for our tech god?]
[If she hadn't been kicked out, that's when she'd really be crying.]
Lillian only found out about the massive fallout after she woke up. At the breakfast table, Ethan Hayes was absolutely beaming, energetically recounting his sleepless night of intensely monitoring the online chaos.
"Mr. Cole really pulled through. What a god-tier teammate. He handled it beautifully. I've never seen someone execute a counterattack so flawlessly; it completely exceeded my expectations. I was so frustrated by the whole mess, especially since you weren't defending yourself, Ms. Mercer. I was already fighting with people in the comments. But then Mr. Cole stepped up, dropped some casual proof, and boom, completely nailed them to the wall! Hahaha! And St. Kingsley University posting at 4 AM to back you up? Absolutely incredible. What can the haters even say now? They're completely silenced, hahaha..."
Leonard Prescott, having woken up to the news, was naturally in a fantastic mood as well. He took a bite of his breakfast and glanced up at Ethan, who seemed even more thrilled than he was.
Clearly, Leonard was fully on board with Lillian finally clearing her name. Lillian might not care about certain things, but the people around her desperately wanted to protect her reputation.
