Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 896

Sebastian felt his entire world collapse.

Lillian really was Li.

The revolutionary algorithm he had spent years dreaming of acquiring was created by Lillian before she even turned twenty.

And during that exact same time, she had been hopelessly obsessed with him.

Memories flooded his mind. He had never truly looked at her. Even knowing she was a wealthy Mercer heiress, he had felt absolutely nothing for her.

She had worked tirelessly at his startup, staying quietly by his side, and he had treated her like an afterthought.

It wasn't until the powerful Blake family approached him in secret, offering him a path back into their elite ranks, that things changed. One of their absolute conditions was that he marry Lillian.

At the time, he viewed marriage as a mere transaction. He had no romantic ideals.

He would marry whoever benefitted him most.

If a wife could elevate his status and cement his future, he would take her.

The Blake elders adored Lillian and desperately wanted her as their daughter-in-law. To secure his triumphant return to the family, Sebastian agreed.

However, obsessed with his career and unwilling to deal with public distractions, he demanded a hidden marriage.

He knew perfectly well that for elite families like the Blakes and the Mercers, a secret marriage was highly unorthodox and mildly insulting.

To his surprise, a completely infatuated Lillian agreed without a second thought.

She didn't demand a lavish wedding. They simply signed the papers and had a quiet dinner with their families.

Sebastian was thrilled by how effortless it was.
