Julian froze in his tracks the second he heard those words.
"Mr. Blake, you can't be serious, right? You want Ms. Mercer, the head of Lillionix, to take over Miss Ward's position? Would... would she even agree to come?"
Sebastian replied evenly, "That depends on how useful my son is."
Starting last night, Sebastian had begun utilizing all his resources to search the globe for his son.
His parents refused to bring Noah Blake back themselves.
And if he wanted to see Lillian, having their son with him would undoubtedly be a massive advantage.
If he could bring Noah back now, it would be the perfect leverage.
If he approached Lillian alone, she would likely be defensive, assuming he had tossed her aside when she was useless and was only crawling back now that she was a top-tier tech mogul.
That would make his motives look incredibly calculating.
Sebastian genuinely wanted to repair his relationship with Lillian. If he led with business and profits, it would only disgust her.
Noah was the perfect bridge. He could use their son to play the emotional card.
After all, he clearly remembered how deeply Lillian had loved their child.
She had already been the legendary 'Li', an industry titan, yet she had willingly given up her status and quietly become a devoted housewife just to protect their son and take care of their family without a single complaint.
But now that she had reclaimed her throne, it was too awkward for Sebastian to approach her directly.
Putting their son front and center would make things much easier.
Sebastian had made up his mind last night. The people he hired had previously worked for Old Mr. Blake, and he was now paying a premium to track down his son. He was confident there would be news soon.
Once they found him, he'd take a day off, fly out to pick up his boy personally, and bring him back so the three of them could finally reunite as a family.
The thought of that reunion brought a faint smile to Sebastian's lips.
Watching that subtle smile, Julian felt a wave of internal exasperation.
Other people might not know, but he knew exactly how the divorce between Sebastian and Lillian had gone down.
