Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1531

Standing at the crossroads of loyalty and profit, Brandon chose the path that guaranteed hard cash.

Martin stared at his sons in disbelief. "What are you two doing here?" Hadn't they written Bella off entirely?

Since taking over as chairman, Brandon had fully embraced the role of the ruthless patriarch, treating Bella like a liability.

For him to show up at her surgery was nothing short of a miracle.

"We're family in name, after all," Brandon replied coolly.

He didn't elaborate. Taking out his phone, he walked to the far end of the waiting area.

He wanted to put as much distance between himself and his father as possible. He didn't want the old man's love-blinded idiocy rubbing off on him.

If Martin had just divorced Sabrina, Lillian might have already returned to the fold.

But no, Martin was stubbornly clinging to his mistress-turned-wife, leaving the rest of the family to pray for Lillian's mercy.

Colin, always following his brother's lead, sat down right next to him.

Brandon glanced up and noticed Sabrina's thinly veiled irritation toward Martin.

It wasn't hard to see why. Lately, Martin had morphed into a suffocatingly needy shadow, throwing tantrums if left alone for five minutes.

Though Brandon didn't know the exact details of Bella's scheme, he knew her surgery was the stage for a massive theatrical performance, and they were the supporting cast.

However, Martin was definitely not in the script.

Brandon stood up and walked over. "Dad, let me have someone escort you back to your room.

"Your health is fragile; you shouldn't be sitting out here."

Martin's face instantly darkened. "I might be sick, but I'm not an invalid. Are you trying to kick me out?

"Am I an eyesore to you now?

"You've been The Usurper Son for five minutes, and you're already treating me like garbage?"

Brandon's brow twitched. He couldn't even be bothered to argue.
