Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 773

"Noah could definitely help us, but we can't find him anywhere. It's like the elder Blakes are intentionally making sure he has no contact with us.

It seems even Sebastian doesn't know where his own son was sent."

Colin frowned deeply. "If even Sebastian can't track him down, we don't stand a chance.

Do you have some kind of plan in mind? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Brandon shook his head. "A plan is useless without the opportunity to execute it. I wanted to resolve this the easy way, but no one is cooperating."

Case in point: Lillian. She absolutely refused to play ball.

"Are you sure this idea of yours would even work?"

"Of course it would. If we can find someone who has the elder Blakes' ear, we could at least salvage the partnership. Having that contract would solve so many of our current problems.

Once trading resumes, it would boost investor confidence. But right now, there's almost no one who holds that kind of sway with Mr. and Mrs. Blake.

Anyone who does have their ear isn't close enough to the Mercer family to bother speaking up for us.

Lillian is the perfect candidate. If she was willing to help, all our problems would disappear."

"Should we go down to her office?" Colin suggested.

"Forget it. Let's think of something else," Brandon replied.

It wasn't like they hadn't tried going to her office before, but they never even managed to see her.

She was surrounded by top-tier bodyguards, making it nearly impossible to get close.

There was no point in going just to humiliate themselves.

Just as Brandon finished speaking, Martin suddenly appeared.

He didn't smoke, yet there he was, standing right outside the smoking lounge. He had likely overheard their entire conversation.

"I just discussed it with the board. The livestream apology idea is dead in the water. We might as well just show up at her house, her office, or even the factory to apologize in person."

Besides, an apology isn't going to emotionally manipulate her into helping us. How long was that livestream apology up? Did she ever acknowledge it?

Drop the idea. Doing these stunts is completely pointless."

It truly was pointless, which was why Brandon didn't want to waste any more time on it.

Lillian's heart was cold as ice now. She wasn't going to listen to a word anyone said.

As Brandon stalked off, Colin quickly followed.

Back in the conference room, the volume was loud as everyone argued over the next steps.

"Is the heiress's temper really that bad? I heard she refuses to take anyone's calls since leaving the family. Is apologizing really going to do anything?"

"We have to try. If it works and we reach a settlement, the pressure on the Group will ease up. We'd have a fighting chance when the stock resumes trading."

"That's easy to say, but I'm terrified the public will just think the Mercer family is trying to bully her again. The internet is already firmly on her side. People even think her prison sentence was a massive injustice!"
