“The boy is doing much better now. When he returns, we'll arrange for you and him to reunite. In the future, if he… does anything, please don't hold his past immaturities against him.”
“We’ll see what the future holds,” Lillian replied. She had long since given up any expectations for Noah.
Noah was a child of the Blake family, their designated heir.
She had never intended to fight for that.
With this matter settled, Lillian finally turned her gaze to Sebastian.
“I’ve returned what I should. Now I will take what is mine, and I won’t leave a single thing behind.
When we married, my grandmother also gave you many fine things.
Let’s forget the rest, but there is one item that has been passed down for generations in my mother's family. It may not be worth much money, but its value as an heirloom is precious. Now that we are divorced, I cannot allow it to fall into outside hands.
So, I ask that you return it.
If I remember correctly, it should be in the safe in your study. It’s a jade imperial jade signet ring.”
This was the primary reason Lillian had come here today.
She was right to reclaim the dowry her grandmother and mother had prepared for her.
But in terms of value, the Lancaster family heirloom was far more precious. It absolutely could not be lost.
Sebastian looked at her coldly. “All this for that?”
“Since we’re divorced, it’s better to make a clean break, don’t you think?” Lillian retorted.
“Whatever you like,” Sebastian said dismissively. “Is there anything else you want to take? Tell me all at once, and I’ll have someone get it for you.”
“I don’t want anything else from the Mercer family. You can discuss that with them. This is the only thing I must take back.”
