Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1344

Sabrina was genuinely taken aback by Martin's outright hostility toward Eleanor Lancaster.

But it made sense.

Over the past few days of forced groveling, Martin had taken his fair share of vicious slaps.

He was undoubtedly burning with rage but had absolutely nowhere to vent it.

In front of Lillian, he still had to maintain the sickening facade of a repentant father.

Noah finally broke into a bright smile.

For days, everyone had been forcing him to love his mother, and he was sick of hearing it. Every time he spoke his mind, he was scolded.

Now, finally, Grandpa Martin was on his side.

That psycho belonged to his mother's camp, and that made her completely detestable.

"Grandpa is right! That psycho is so scary, I never want her to be my grandmother," Noah declared.

He threw his arms around Sabrina, his voice dripping with affection. "Grandma, you're my only good grandma."

A genuine smile touched Sabrina's bruised face. "Our Noah is the smartest boy in the whole wide world. If you don't like someone, it means there's definitely something wrong with them."

"But Noah, your mother does love you. You can't keep saying things that break her heart."

"Your mother is incredibly powerful now. She's the boss of a massive, successful company."

"If you get along with her, everything she owns will be yours one day. You'll grow up to be just as powerful."

"All the other kids will have no choice but to look up to you."

Sabrina's honeyed words finally seemed to penetrate Noah's stubbornness.

As long as Martin was wrapped around her finger, she would always be the undisputed queen of this house.

For now, Noah was merely a pawn to be used.

After overhearing his uncles arguing the night before, Noah had grown curious. Armed with an unrestricted smartphone at the Mercer estate, he had done some digging.

He learned that his murderer mother had somehow orchestrated a miraculous comeback. Whether it was pure talent or just her seducing the right men, she was undeniably on top of the world.

No one cared that she had been to prison. Instead, she was universally worshiped.

Billionaires were lining up to work with her, and even his father and the Mercers were bowing to her every whim.

Yet, despite reading all of this, Noah remained convinced that Lillian was nothing more than a manipulative, scheming woman.

She couldn't possibly be that talented. Someone else had to be pulling the strings for her.
