Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 895

How could it be possible?

Suddenly, Julian gasped. "Wait, Nathan just updated his page again. Lillian... she was the State Merit Scholar. Mr. Blake, did you... know this?"

Julian's voice dropped to a cautious whisper.

He already knew the answer. If Sebastian had known she was a top scholar, he would never have believed the Mercer family's library donation lie.

Sebastian sprang up, snatching the tablet from Julian's hands. He stared at the enlarged screenshot of the State Topper Media Coverage.

The pale glow of the screen illuminated the absolute shock on his strikingly handsome face, a reaction Julian noted silently.

Clearly, this was the first time Sebastian was hearing of it.

"Impossible... how could she..."

They had both attended St. Kingsley University. He was a year ahead of her. If Lillian had been the top scholar...

Memories flashed through his mind like a broken film reel, dragging him back to their college days.

But as he searched his memories, Lillian was entirely absent.

Back then, he had purposely ignored her.

He despised beautiful women. He assumed they were all manipulative, empty vases with hidden agendas, no different than Debbie Harris. What value could a woman like that possibly offer?

He only started interacting with Lillian after he graduated and launched his startup. She had begged for an internship at his company. He initially rejected her, but when she offered to work for free just to get an internship certificate, he finally agreed. Only then did they start crossing paths.

Because he had completely ignored her existence beforehand, he had no idea she was a State Merit Scholar.

And since he never cared about anyone else's business, no one had ever mentioned it to him.
