Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1168

Sabrina had been resting in bed, but the moment Martin's words registered, she bolted upright. "What? He wants the shares, and he expects me to wait on Eleanor hand and foot?"

Martin had agonized over this. Just as Colin had pointed out, he had already weighed his options.

This was a golden opportunity to elevate the Mercer family to the top of Northwyn's elite circles. How could he possibly pass it up?

If he let this slip away, would a chance like this ever come again?

More importantly, he finally understood that Lillian had a heart of stone.

Getting her to return was going to be an uphill battle.

If he failed to satisfy her demands, he might lose the chance to bring her back for good.

Martin braced himself. "Sabrina, you love me, don't you? This is a chance to restore the Mercer Group's reputation and make us the most powerful family in Northwyn. I... just think of it as doing this for me, okay?

I swear, once the Mercer Group recovers and we reach the top, I will make it all up to you.

I'll compensate you for everything.

I'll even return all the shares you and Bella give up. Does that sound fair?"

Tears were already streaming down Sabrina's face.

She never imagined that the allure of wealth and status could drive a man who supposedly loved her to this point—using her own love against her as a weapon.

This wasn't just about money anymore; it meant all her years of scheming were for nothing.

When it truly mattered, Martin hadn't chosen her.

Seeing her cry, Martin grew frantic. "Sabrina, please don't just cry. With your... your condition, you can't afford to get so worked up.

Like I said, I'll make up for the shares later.
