Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 673

"The Lancaster family has never produced a traitor who would steal from under their own roof. If I find out who did this, I'll kill them."

Lillian said, "Stephen, you know the family's affairs in Midvale best, so I'll have to ask you to handle this. Also, arrange for an immediate inventory check. We need to verify the authenticity of all our jewelry, gemstones, and everything else. After something like this, a full audit is necessary."

Stephen nodded. "You're right, Lillian. After something this serious, we have to investigate. A thorough investigation to find out who had the audacity to do this."

Lillian said, "Don't be so angry. Now that it's happened, we just need to solve it. Whoever it is, we'll deal with them in due time."

Stephen said, "Lillian, I feel terrible that this happened on my watch. Maybe… ugh, forget it. With your health, it's best to wait until you've recovered before you take over. It's already a lot for you to manage things in both Midvale and Northwyn. I'll take full responsibility for what I need to. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the assets your maternal grandparents left you will be safe."

It had long been decided that Lillian would inherit her maternal family's assets. Her mother, Eleanor Lancaster, was an only child who had no aptitude for business. Of Eleanor's three children, the two sons were destined to inherit the Mercer family estate. So, long ago, the Lancaster family assets had been designated to Lillian through her grandparents' will. She had been too young to manage them at the time, so the Lancaster family had been looking after them on her behalf.
