Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 917

By saying she wasn't surprised, Lillian was smoothly implying that the moral bankruptcy of everyone involved was so severe that any depraved act they committed was entirely expected.

Her composed reaction was a brutal, elegant condemnation of Bella and her mother's vile character.

She didn't use many words, but every syllable hit its mark with lethal precision.

"Does that mean you have more explosive inside information on them, Ms. Mercer?" the reporter pushed eagerly.

Lillian's smile turned cold. "I have zero interest in the Mercer family, the woman who stole my mother's place, or her daughter.

"I don't waste my time keeping tabs on them. But if karma truly exists, I hope the innocent find peace... and the wicked suffer the absolute worst consequences imaginable."

Another journalist practically jumped up. "Ms. Mercer! The Mercers recently exposed that you spent time in prison. Was your incarceration somehow tied to all this bad blood?"

A shadow crossed Lillian's eyes, but she held her head high. "I have been quietly gathering evidence for years. The day I secure the definitive proof of my innocence, I will present it to the world."

With that final statement, Lillian stood up and offered a polite, concluding bow to the press.

Emma Ruiz smoothly stepped up to the microphone. "Thank you all for coming. Our hour is up, and I believe everyone has plenty of incredible material for their front pages today.

"Ms. Mercer has graciously answered your most pressing questions. For any future updates regarding the aerospace initiative or the Li Algorithm, please follow the official channels for Lillionix and Litech NaLabs."

As the press conference officially ended, Lillian had no desire to linger and chat.

She had an empire to run and a life to live; she wasn't about to waste another second on a media circus.

Of course, the conference had been a flawless double victory.

If she had remained silent during the ongoing smear campaign, her enemies would have painted her as an arrogant coward.
