Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 215

"I suspect they talked about it when they met, and that's how he found out."

Sabrina held her breath, simmering with frustration. She just knew it. Without Lillian's meddling, she could have kept everything in this family under control. Nothing would have gotten out of hand.

Sure enough, it was that jinx Lillian, always causing trouble for her.

Though she was fuming internally, Sabrina maintained a faint smile and deftly placed some food on Martin's plate.

"When you get down to it, this is all my fault. Martin, I wasn't thinking things through. I shouldn't have brought this up during our honeymoon.

The shares were yours, to begin with; I shouldn't have been so greedy.

And since those shares were returned by Lillian, she must have been unhappy when she found out, which is why she complained to Brandon.

Brandon is Lillian's big brother, after all.

It's only natural that he would protect her. Martin, I'm so sorry. I'm the one who's caused all this discord in the family."

Martin grabbed Sabrina's hand.

"How can you blame yourself? It's my ungrateful, greedy sons.

The two of them, hearing I gave the shares to you and Bella, both came to argue with me.

One minute they're talking about outsiders, the next they're saying those were Lillian's shares and that I'm trying to kick her out of the family for good.

Sabrina clenched her jaw. The shares had barely warmed her and Bella's hands; there was absolutely no way she was giving them back.

She thought back to how nice Brandon and Colin had always seemed to her and Bella. It was all a facade. The moment their own interests were at stake, they were no longer a real family. Everyone had their own agenda.

Outsiders. Yes, she and Bella were outsiders, and for that reason, they wanted the shares back?

Sabrina lowered her head, and in an instant, her smile was replaced by a storm cloud of sorrow, tears welling up in her eyes.

When she spoke, the tears spilled down her cheeks.

"Martin, it's my fault, all my fault. I was inconsiderate and caused you so much trouble. Call the lawyer over. I'll have Bella turn over her shares too. We don't want them, neither of us. We'll give them all back to you."
