Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 262

Brandon didn’t want to destabilize the company.

After all, he was going to inherit it one day.

“You’re coming with me.”

He still had the money he’d borrowed from Sebastian.

This meeting would determine whether Bella was truly his enemy.

Bella was a little surprised when she got the call.

Brandon was calling her now? Of all times?

How amusing.

But since he had called, she couldn’t just ignore it.

That wouldn’t look good.

More importantly, she wanted to know what he was up to.

With their busy work schedules, they arranged to meet for lunch.

That way, they could eat and talk business at the same time.

At the restaurant, Bella spotted the two brothers and waved with a smile on her face.

Although she now held a significant number of shares in the Mercer Group, the company was still effectively controlled by Brandon and Colin.

Besides, she had other plans in motion. Now was not the right time for a confrontation.

“Brandon, Colin, I ordered your favorites. I heard you’ve been incredibly busy lately; we haven’t seen you at home. What brings you out to have lunch with me today?”

Regarding the shares, Bella felt that the blame didn’t lie with her or her mother.

Nearly everything on the table was a favorite of the two brothers.

“Bella, let’s not beat around the bush. Let’s just be direct. The shares you bought originally belonged to my mother.”

Brandon laid his cards on the table, making it clear that even though it was a purchase, he and his brother had a major problem with it.

Seeing him get straight to the point, Bella just smiled, picked up the serving utensils, and placed some food on Brandon’s plate.

“Brandon, I know. When Lillian told my mother and me that she was selling those shares, our first thought was that they belonged to your mother and couldn’t end up with outsiders.

So, my mother and I immediately decided we had to secure those shares for the Mercer family.

We went to see Lillian in person and, after a lot of persuasion, managed to buy the shares from her.

This prevented them from falling into the wrong hands.”
