Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1160

Martin froze, completely taken aback. "Sabrina, why are you suddenly asking about money? You haven't cared about the household finances in years.

Is there something special you want to buy?"

He hesitated, his expression shifting uncomfortably. "Could you maybe... hold off for a bit? Honey, you know the situation. Brandon and Colin are breathing down my neck, demanding that we give Lillian some kind of closure.

Honestly, my thought is, you're already married to me. You'll never have to worry about food or shelter for the rest of your life.

So regarding the shares... why don't you talk it over with Bella? Maybe we should just follow Brandon's suggestion and..."

Before he could finish the sentence, Sabrina dramatically clutched her chest, letting out a breathless wail. "Oh... oh God... my heart... it hurts so much..."

Martin instantly panicked, all thoughts of the shares vanishing. "What's wrong?! You've never had heart problems before!"

Sabrina gasped, leaning heavily against the cushions. "Who knows? Maybe it's all the stress and anger I've had to swallow lately! What else could it be?"

The accusation hit Martin like a physical blow. He let out a heavy sigh, his shoulders slumping. "Sabrina, you know how fragile things are right now.

Kicking Lillian out of the family was a massive mistake. I only did it because I was so terrified of losing you. I acted entirely on impulse.

The truth is, I regretted it almost immediately.

Lillian is my daughter. I was just so disappointed in her at the time. But now... you see who she really is. You see the power she wields and what that means for the Mercer Group.

I've been trying to find a way to repair the bridge between us. If you could just help me, it would make everything so much easier..."

Hearing the desperation in his voice, Sabrina realized that the pressure from his sons was finally breaking him.

She couldn't just distract him with a few tears anymore.

But giving up those shares? Never. She knew exactly how many millions of dollars they would be worth the second Lillian officially returned to the Mercer family.

If she surrendered them now, all that impending wealth would vanish into thin air.
