Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1416

Sabrina replied softly, "I will definitely give that child a stern talking-to when I get back. She really has been acting far too reckless lately. How can she just do whatever she pleases?

Honey, please don't be too hard on her. I'll make sure to correct her behavior. Even I've found her actions a bit bizarre recently.

Maybe... she's just under too much pressure.

Seeing her crumble under all this stress, and as her mother, not being able to help her... it breaks my heart."

As she spoke, she gently grasped Martin's sleeve, tugging it with a delicate, tender motion just as two pristine tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Martin was entirely helpless against her tears. He quickly reached out to wipe them away.

He completely forgot that just moments ago, he had been furious at the mother-daughter duo's scheming.

Hadn't they put him in an impossible position?

He was already struggling to explain things to his sons, yet the women were pulling stunts behind his back. What if everything blew up in their faces?

But the moment Sabrina shed those two delicate tears, his heart ached uncontrollably.

His gentle, fragile wife, who only knew how to weep in his arms—she truly was far too pitiful to stay mad at.

She looked so devastatingly beautiful when she cried; how could any man not love her?

Filled with affection, Martin felt as if he would gladly rip his own heart out just to coax a smile onto her face.

After a lengthy session of sweet-talking, Sabrina finally perked up a little.

Seeing the timing was right, Sabrina asked, "Honey, Bella is drowning in massive debt right now. What are we going to do?"

Martin wasn't completely brainless. "It's only temporary. Don't worry, and please don't stress yourself out. What if you make yourself sick?

Bella's financial troubles are an easy fix. Very soon, she might find herself sitting pretty at the top of the rich list.

Once Lillian returns to the Mercer family, the Mercer Group's value will skyrocket. Bella will reap massive benefits as the largest shareholder. Or, if she finalizing her divorce with Sebastian, he will be forced to pay her a hefty settlement.

That kind of wealth will completely change her life forever.

My love, you can worry about anything else in the world, but you absolutely do not need to worry about Bella's finances.

She is destined to be a very wealthy woman, believe me."

Did Sabrina really need him to explain that?

She had discussed this with Bella. The Mercer family still possessed plenty of valuable assets. Liquidating a few would easily save Bella.

A few million dollars wasn't an insurmountable problem.

It all depended on whether Martin was willing to step up.

Hearing her request, Martin froze.

"Another way? I... I honestly can't think of anything else right now.

Unless... do you have an idea in mind?"

Sabrina hadn't expected Martin to be so utterly unwilling to even brainstorm a solution.

But that didn't matter; she had already done the thinking for him.

"Martin, look, the family still has so many valuable assets. And there are all those dowry items you brought back from the Blake family after Lillian severed ties with them, which are now sitting in a bank vault.

I recall those pieces being quite valuable. Could you do us a favor and use The Estate Collateral Agreement to pawn some of them for now? We just need to convert them into some cash to help Bella survive this crisis."
