"What? Lillionix merging with the Mercer Group? He actually said that to his employees at the meeting?"

Lillian thought the world had gone completely insane.

Was Brandon out of his mind? How could he even utter such nonsense?

How dare he claim her company would merge into his? Did he have no shame?

Did they honestly think that Martin and Sabrina offering a simple apology would erase all the damage the Mercer family had inflicted on her?

What did they take her for?

A tool to be used when profitable, and discarded when useless?

And now that she had value again, they could just apologize and get exactly what they wanted?

Did they think they could just do whatever they pleased?

Ethan Hayes took a deep breath and nodded. "It's absurd, but yes, that's exactly what Brandon said during the meeting.

"Furthermore, he plans to funnel all the company's available funds into building this new manufacturing plant.

"Ms. Mercer, about the Mercer and Winthrop families..."

"It's not surprising that they're in contact," Lillian said calmly.

"The Winthrops keep in touch with me because of my grandmother. The Mercers are her descendants too. Now that the Winthrops have returned to Northwyn and don't hold the same status they once did, it makes sense for them to reconnect with old ties.

"Maybe the Mercers saw the Winthrops making a move and decided to copy their strategy. They probably think that if they get a piece of Lillionix, the Mercer Group will rise from the ashes.

"What exactly do they think I am?"

"Ms. Mercer, Lillionix doesn't have to work with the Winthrops. Maybe you should reconsider."
