Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1123

"I have to do something for you. Otherwise, when your grandmother wakes up and finds out, she'll definitely blame me."

Lillian didn't know what else to say. Beatrice's sheer enthusiasm suddenly made her feel a strange sense of unease.

Although the two older women shared an extraordinary, lifelong friendship...

They were still just family friends. It didn't quite make sense for her to interject so forcefully into someone else's domestic affairs.

During their meeting today, the old woman repeatedly offered to help her seek justice against the Mercers and even brought up the company shares. This made Lillian feel incredibly weird.

In the past, Beatrice was never the type to meddle in other people's family drama.

But Lillian only harbored these thoughts briefly before pushing them down.

After all, the bond between the two matriarchs was genuinely unique.

Perhaps it was perfectly normal for her to want to step in after seeing her old friend's granddaughter being bullied.

Still, Lillian was no three-year-old child.

The history between Beatrice and her grandmother was real, but the woman had been abroad for years.

Perhaps many things had changed over time.

As for what Beatrice was actually scheming, Lillian couldn't just guess blindly.

She would just have to observe quietly.

After chatting with the older woman for a while longer, Beatrice requested to head home, and Lillian arranged a driver for her.

Once she left, Leonard Prescott walked into the garden.

I believe Beatrice also relocated overseas ten years ago, so she and my grandmother could only stay in touch via phone.

After so many years apart, it's natural they missed each other."

Lillian had her doubts earlier, but right now, she didn't doubt that Beatrice still held a genuine affection for her grandmother.

After all, she had witnessed their friendship growing up.

Leonard nodded. "Hmm, if they left Northwyn a decade ago, then it makes sense I don't know them."

Ten years ago, Leonard was only a teenager. While he had started dabbling in investments, his focus was global, and he had never paid much attention to the Northwyn scene.

But as his mind worked, something clicked. "Still, if they expanded overseas, I feel like I should have heard of them.

This tells me they either haven't done very well and their business is small, or they operate in sectors completely unrelated to my investments."
