Ethan nodded enthusiastically. "Of course I'm serious. Have my sources ever been wrong? What do you think about this, Boss?"
Lillian casually organized her meeting notes. "I'll believe it when I see it."
Ethan sighed. "No, I don't mean that. I'm asking for your thoughts. Your master plan!"
Lillian shrugged. "What is there to think about? The Mercer Group is sprinting down the path of self-destruction. Bella joining them right now is exactly what I wanted.
Once my grandmother wakes up and everything is brought to light, we can destroy all of them in one fell swoop. This actually saves me a lot of effort."
Ethan's eyes lit up. "Is your grandmother waking up soon? Mr. Peregrine mentioned her condition is improving rapidly, and we've hired the best physical therapists available.
Once she wakes up and does some rehab, she might even be able to walk a few steps.
It sounds like that day is coming fast, Lillian."
Lillian smiled faintly. "I've been tired of watching those people jump around for a long time."
Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Stephen walked in.
"Cuz, our first joint project is almost ready. Do you have time tomorrow to visit the factory and give us some guidance?
Oh, and I need to borrow someone from you. If Miss Bennett doesn't come with you, I have a few minor technical issues I won't be able to solve."
With work calling, Lillian instantly pushed Bella and the Mercer family out of her mind.
Parts of the Lancaster family had already relocated to Northwyn.
Northwyn seemed like a welcoming city on the surface, but at the absolute top tier, resources were fiercely guarded.
When out-of-town billionaires tried to move in and grab a piece of the pie, they were naturally met with aggressive pushback.
If it were easy, every top-tier tycoon in the country would have moved there by now.
