Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1623

Hmph...

Once Lillian came home, the Mercer family's status would rival the Blake family's. They wouldn't need a dime of Sebastian's charity!

The mere thought was laughable.

Brandon crossed his arms. "Are you saying this prospect you found can actually save the Mercer Group right now?"

Martin shot him a look. "If they couldn't, do you think I'd be wasting my breath?"

Brandon considered this. "Alright. Tell me. Which family? What's their net worth? How many siblings does she have, and how much capital are they willing to inject into our company?"

Martin didn't answer. He simply rolled his eyes and started eating.

Sabrina quickly filled the silence with a bright smile. "You met him recently. We had dinner right here. He's from Havenport, last name Yates. Your father's old classmate. You called him Uncle Yates. Do you remember?"

Brandon's memory jogged.

A few days ago, he had been entirely consumed with figuring out how to force Lillian to stay in the country for her treatment.

Martin had ordered him home for dinner to entertain this 'Mr. Yates.'

He had found the name vaguely familiar. Later, he realized it was the Yates family from Havenport. They weren't old money or high society.

They were nouveau riche. Pure, unadulterated new money.

They had a lot of cash, sure, but absolutely zero class or heritage.

Once Brandon had figured that out, he completely dismissed them.

New money was beneath him. Even a standard business partnership with people like that was usually more trouble than it was worth.

Brandon scoffed aloud. "The nouveau riche from Havenport? Dad, have you lost your mind? You want me to marry into new money?

An arranged marriage is supposed to be an alliance between equals!"

Martin slammed his hand on the table. "Equals? Do you honestly think you have the luxury of choice? Look at the Mercer Group right now! You want an equal match?

Families with better standing won't even look at us. Giving us their daughter would be an insult to their lineage.
