Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 129

Brandon seemed to have forgotten that not long ago, the entire family had been clamoring to disown Lillian.

Colin didn't press the issue further. He had little say in this family anyway.

He stood by, listening as Brandon made the call.

To ensure Lillian would pick up, Brandon had a whole arsenal of SIM cards, pulling one from his pocket.

When the call connected, Brandon, fearing she would hang up, got straight to the point.

“Lillian, you promised Dad you’d help with the divorce papers. It’s been a week with no news. Are you backing out?”

“He’s that desperate? He can’t even wait a week?”

Martin was indeed desperate. Forget a week; the slightest hint of displeasure from Sabrina would set him off.

After so many years of sneaking around, the moment the idea of marriage became a possibility, he couldn’t bear to wait another day.

Brandon knew this all too well.

“Lillian, you’ve already agreed. Mom and Dad’s divorce is going to happen sooner or later. There’s no point in dragging it out. Let them both be free.”

The words sounded ridiculous to Lillian.

“You really are his good son. Don’t worry, I’ll go to Midvale this weekend. But before I go, I have two notarized documents that I need you and Colin to sign. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Lillian’s words immediately put Brandon on high alert. “What documents?”

“Documents waiving your right to contend for Mom’s guardianship.”

Brandon’s tone turned serious. “Lillian, after the divorce, Mom’s assets will increase significantly. Are you asking me and Colin to give up...”

Lillian couldn't listen anymore.

Who was it that kept saying this was for her own good, that was for her own good?

How was it that the moment money was mentioned, all that concern for her vanished?

If it was for her own good, why not just give her mother’s assets to her? Why was he so anxious about it?

She cut Brandon off. “Mom already had her will notarized. Her assets will be distributed according to her wishes...”

As she said this, something clicked in Lillian’s mind.

When her mother had her will notarized, she had been deep in the pain of her husband's affair.

For her to make a will at that time... could it be...

Lillian thought back carefully, the sound of Brandon’s voice on the other end of the line fading into the background.

She pieced together the timeline in her head. Not long after her mother made the will, she was injured in a fight with that mistress, Sabrina Ward, and ended up with a mental illness.

But her mother was so young back then. Why would she suddenly think of making a will?
