"I sent her another package before I left the office today. She should get it tomorrow. If she still ignores it, we'll have to file a lawsuit. Our chances of winning in court aren't great, so playing the emotional card is our best bet. The Mercers raised her, after all. No matter how you spin it, she owes us."
"I've been trying too," Colin chimed in. "But getting anywhere near Lillian is impossible. We can't get into Halfridge Villas, and her office is locked down tighter than a vault. Oh, and I heard another rumor—her company is relocating soon. They bought that massive new landmark building and just slapped the Lillionix name on it. Her entire team is moving in. I heard people are lining up around the block just to pitch her partnerships, and we can't even get a foot in the door. She's absolutely crushing it right now. Dad, Brandon, shouldn't we be trying something else? Sitting around waiting on one strategy isn't going to cut it."
Waiting for Lillian to formally respond to the legal notice was clearly a dead end; she was entirely ignoring their demands. With the rest of the business world aggressively courting her, if they didn't strike soon, they wouldn't even get scraps.
Brandon finally understood the urgency.
"Colin is right. We need to take action. Forget the algorithm shares for a second—we need to secure a partnership with Lillionix. If we can lock that down, the Mercer Group might actually survive this. Her company's reputation is skyrocketing; there has to be an opening for us. As for Sebastian, let's put the divorce settlement on hold until the money is actually in Bella's hands. Because once the ink is dry, Sebastian is never doing business with us again."
