Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1622

Brandon had no idea what Martin was playing at.

Why would his father suddenly demand he get married when the company was on the brink of collapse and required his undivided attention?

As the Chairman, Brandon's sole duty was to serve the Mercer Group. If he couldn't throw every ounce of his energy into saving the business, how would they ever bounce back?

Brandon leveled a deadly stare at Martin. Had the old man completely lost his mind since retiring?

Martin scoffed. "If I could pass this off to Colin, do you think I'd be wasting my breath on you?

You think this is about casual dating and settling down for love?

This is an arranged marriage!"

Brandon dropped his fork again, his eyes locking onto his father's. "An arranged marriage?"

He knew the concept well enough, but applying it to himself felt utterly foreign.

He had never once considered putting himself on the marriage market.

Recently, his entire focus had been on orchestrating an alliance between Lillian and the Winthrop family.

The Winthrops were constantly asking him if he had tracked down Lillian's hospital. They had pulled every string and exhausted their international networks, yet they still couldn't locate her.

Finding out which country she was in had been easy enough—flight records proved that.

They assumed pinpointing the hospital would be a breeze, but after tearing through the registries of every major medical facility, Lillian was nowhere to be found.

But that was a problem for another day. Right now, Brandon stared incredulously at his father. "An arranged marriage? Me? With the Mercer Group in this state, who could we possibly land that's worth my time?"

It wasn't that Brandon was entirely opposed to the idea of trading his hand in marriage to save the family.

But the Mercer Group was bleeding out. Their stock was tanking. In this vulnerable position, he would never secure a premium match.

Brandon refused to settle.

He firmly believed that once Lillian returned, his own value would skyrocket.
