Elizabeth hadn't slept properly for three straight days.
By the fourth, she finally snapped. She pulled Lily aside and lowered her voice, "If gentle methods don't work, we switch tactics."
Lily went pale. "Elizabeth, what are you saying?"
Elizabeth said flatly, "Sean is my son. I know him inside out. Sarah has him wrapped around her finger. Once you two cross that line, he won't be able to walk it back. Once you get pregnant, no matter how capable Sarah is, she can't erase the White bloodline."
Lily hesitated. "But Sean doesn't even like me."
"Since when did liking matter?"
Elizabeth studied her, her tone softening into persuasion.
"You know how deep your family is in debt. If you become the mother of the White heir, forget $50 million. You could be looking at $500 million!"
