The moment Lilian finished speaking, the living room fell into a dead silence.
Everyone was stunned by her “bold” idea.
Marry Grace off for business?
To a man nearly twenty years her senior?
Sabrina was the first to react.
She slapped her thigh, her eyes lighting up.
“Oh, my Lilian! You are just brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that?”
“What a wonderful idea! Just wonderful!”
She grabbed Lilian’s hand excitedly. “You see? Our Lilian is the one who truly cares about this family!”
Mr. Hart was hesitant. Although he wasn’t fond of Grace, selling off his daughter like a piece of merchandise would be bad for his reputation.
“Well... is that really a good idea? Grace... will she agree?”
“Does she have a choice?!” Lucian said viciously. “She ate our food, lived under our roof! We raised her for over twenty years. Now it’s time for her to repay the Hart family!”
Dorian remained silent, which was as good as agreement.
But they seemed to have forgotten that three months after Grace was born, Sabrina had convinced Mr. Hart to send her to live with her maternal grandmother in the countryside.
She had only actually lived in the Hart mansion for ten years.
Finally, all eyes fell on the eldest son, Cassian.
Cassian’s face was expressionless.
He analyzed the situation calmly. “This plan is highly feasible.”
“Grace is divorced now, her reputation is damaged. To us, she’s a potential liability that could explode at any moment. Mr. Brooks, on the other hand, happens to need a wife just like her—highly educated, someone he can show off in public.”
He adjusted his glasses and, in a tone that was almost cruel in its objectivity, delivered the final verdict.
“This is the best way to make use of a useless asset.”
