Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1602

It was late into the evening by the time Brandon finally received the news of Bella's departure. Her flight had already been in the air for over an hour.

"What?! She left the country? Why didn't anyone tell me something this massive?!"

Brandon slammed his hand onto his desk. "She ran away the second things got tough, expecting us to clean up her mess?! Is she out of her mind?"

"She still owes The Blood-Debt Vultures! Now that she's gone, who does she expect to pay them back? Us?"

"Millions of dollars! If we liquidated the entire Mercer Group right now, we wouldn't have enough cash to cover her loans!"

"How are we supposed to keep the company running? That vicious shrew is a walking curse! She bolted without a single word!"

Brandon rubbed his temples, trembling with absolute fury.

How did he get dragged into this nightmare?

He had just handed her the $5 Million War Chest. Getting that money out of the company's tight accounts had been a monumental task.

He had bled the company for those funds.

And Bella had just pocketed it and vanished. It was a total loss!

She lost the lawsuit and skipped town. Brandon gritted his teeth, nearly blinding himself with rage.

Colin sighed heavily from the couch. "Complaining won't change anything. Her flight took off an hour ago.

Dad is losing his mind. How could he let something this huge happen without giving us a heads-up?"

Brandon let out a dark sneer. "He probably funded her escape ticket. The old fool let that mistress destroy him.

If it weren't for those two women, who knows how powerful the Mercer family would be today?

If Lillian were still here... if they hadn't hurt her... the Mercer Group would be untouchable right now."

Brandon closed his eyes, instantly picturing a vivid, glorious alternate reality.

If he were the undisputed Chairman of a thriving Mercer Group, the entire city would be bowing at his feet.
