Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 930

A negotiation? Lillian found the very concept laughable.

She already knew exactly what the Mercer men were scheming. They had mailed aggressive legal threats to her headquarters yesterday, and realizing she was ignoring their calls, they had resorted to an ambush.

It was staggering how utterly delusional Martin and his sons were. They were demanding an eighty percent ownership stake in the Li Algorithm, citing the pathetic excuse that because she launched her original studio before turning eighteen, she must have used Mercer family funds.

It was a blatant, greedy lie.

Before she had even legally come of age, she and Nathan Cole had spent their days in a dingy internet cafe, coding their first two indie games and laying the groundwork for a massive title. The indie games sold instantly, and a major developer bought out the rights to the unfinished big project for a staggering sum.

By the time they were teenagers, Lillian and Nathan were sitting on a mountain of their own self-made cash. That initial fortune was deposited into a joint account strictly managed by her grandmother and Mrs. Cole. When she eventually opened her tech studio, the startup capital came exclusively from that secure account.

Not a single cent belonged to the Mercer family.

Lillian had been raised by her grandmother, a former iron-fisted corporate titan who subtly instilled ruthless business acumen into her from childhood. Lillian knew how to partition corporate and private assets before she could drive. She had proudly stated she hadn't touched a dime of Mercer money since turning eighteen, but the truth was, she hadn't needed their money long before that. Her grandmother had covered her basic tuition, but Lillian funded her own empire.
