Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 973

Lester hesitated, finally asking cautiously, "Mr. Blake, is a speech really a good idea? If there's an open Q&A, the questions might be difficult to navigate."

"What's there to navigate?" Sebastian replied flatly. "It'll just be questions about my marriage and personal life. I can handle it."

It was obvious; his desperation to see Lillian had eclipsed everything else.

He had been starved for a chance, and now that he had one, he was absolutely refusing to let it go.

Lester didn't push the issue further. He simply marked the St. Kingsley Centennial Celebration as the highest priority on Sebastian's calendar.

Across town, Lillian wasn't paying any attention to the event's guest list, nor did she care about Sebastian's whereabouts.

Even if someone told her Sebastian was attending, it wouldn't stop her from going.

She was entirely done with him. She had given up her own child just to sever all ties. She was mentally prepared to cross paths with him at public events.

They operated in the same upper-echelon circles, so running into him was inevitable. Hiding from him wasn't in her playbook.

Besides, she figured Sebastian was drowning in his own mess.

The sliver of Bella's true colors that had been exposed was already causing a catastrophic fallout. Sebastian's peaceful days were over; he had to be too busy doing damage control to even think about anything else.

Of course, Lillian was wrong about that.

She had no idea that Sebastian wasn't just trying to win her back—he fully intended to remarry her.

If she knew, she would have found it utterly laughable. But for now, she remained blissfully ignorant.

Back at the Blake Group, Lester's phone call confirming the St. Kingsley arrangement was accidentally overheard by Hannah Quinn.

Most people were in the dark about the deep history between Lillian and Sebastian, but Hannah had once dated Brandon Mercer, so she knew every dirty detail.

Sitting back at her desk, Hannah's mind raced. If Sebastian was going to the centennial, he was definitely planning to corner Lillian.
