Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1004

The three men looked at each other in stunned silence.

In reality, the name of the true culprit was already flashing in their minds.

Who else had the access to manipulate the connections they had set up?

The loud, chaotic energy that had just filled the office suddenly vanished, replaced by a suffocating silence.

The eerie quiet was deeply unsettling.

Brandon clapped his hands together loudly. "Nothing? Are we not going to find this person and give Lillian the explanation she deserves?

Without it, do you really think you're getting her algorithm or any partnership? Keep dreaming!"

After moving into the Mercer household, she had managed the logistics flawlessly and never even spent money recklessly. Every little thing she did made Martin feel immensely cherished.

Others might whisper that she was a gold digger clinging to him for his wealth, but Martin truly believed she loved him for who he was, not his bank account.

Now, his sons were openly suspecting her. Although a sliver of doubt had crept into Martin's own heart, he desperately wanted to believe it was impossible.
