Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1082

Sabrina gasped. Of course, she didn't want to.

Who would willingly hand over a fortune that was already in their grasp? Even if things were difficult, she could just grit her teeth and bear it.

But now, it was obvious that the family was going to do whatever it took to lure Lillian back. Once that happened and the stock soared, they would be sitting on pure profit.

Bella continued, "The Mercer brothers don't just want the shares Lillian tossed aside back then. They want Eleanor's portion, too."

"They want every last piece of it. They want it all."

"Mom, don't you understand those two brothers by now? They're driven entirely by profit and care about nothing else. If they could abandon their own biological sister, do you really think they'll show us any mercy?"

"The second we yield, they'll force us to spit out every single share."

"Instead of rolling over, we might as well gamble."

"There hasn't been a peaceful day in this house anyway, so if we're going to fight, let's blow it all up. Otherwise, they'll just keep treating us like pushovers they can crush at will."

Sabrina thought it over and realized her daughter made a lot of sense.

"But, Bella, do you have enough money to hold out until the end?"

A cold smile touched Bella's lips. "Mom, there are other ways. You two aren't divorced yet, are you? So instead of moving out, we'll just stay right here. We'll eat their food and live in their house with zero shame. At least it won't cost us a dime."

"As long as you can handle the mental pressure, it doesn't matter."

"Besides, I still have a position at their company. Even if things get messy, they can't just kick us out onto the street right away."

"We'll stay as long as we can. I just worry it might be too hard on you."

Hearing this, Sabrina immediately laughed. "How is this hard? Think about all the suffering I went through back in the day. Every single bit of it was worse than this."
