Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 380

She really couldn't wait to send her back to prison.

Lillian figured that, with everything that had happened before, Bella must hate her to the core.

She was probably afraid Lillian's life was going too well, so she seized this opportunity to throw her back in prison.

She probably even hoped that, since Lillian was sick, she would just die there.

Lillian observed all of this as if she were a spectator watching a play, completely detached.

She felt no pain from her family's betrayal. She was already numb to it.

She saw the look in her son's eyes, but her heart was calm. There was no pain, no disappointment.

Because she had already anticipated everyone's actions, there was nothing left to be disappointed about.

When you expect nothing, you can't be let down.

Victor leaned in and whispered, "Ms. Mercer, is this the show you wanted me to see? This… this sob story? Do you want me to put them in their place for you?"

Lillian shot him a fierce look.

Victor was talkative, and she was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back and would blurt everything out.

But it wasn't time yet.

Victor was indeed struggling to hold his tongue. He desperately wanted to say something, to give them a serious reality check, but Lillian's glare was unlike any he had ever seen before.

He clamped his mouth shut, not daring to utter another word.

Lillian stepped forward. "Are you sure you want to disown me? Words aren't legally binding. We should get a lawyer here and settle this once and for all."

Legal documents were far more effective than public announcements or witnesses.

Martin was stunned. Not only did Lillian show no remorse, but at a time like this, instead of apologizing to Sabrina and begging for forgiveness, she dared to be so defiant.

According to the agreement, besides retaining control over her grandmother's and mother's affairs, she asked for nothing else. She didn't take a single penny from the Mercer family.

As the lawyers read the agreement aloud, the guests murmured among themselves.

After all, the Mercers were a prestigious family. To disown their own daughter and throw her out without a dime was shocking.

More importantly, Lillian's business had failed, and they'd heard she was seriously ill.

The Mercer family was truly ruthless.

However, the guests kept their discussions quiet, careful not to be overheard.

After listening to and reading the agreement, Lillian signed it without hesitation and then handed it to Martin.

"I've already signed. As soon as you and my two brothers sign this, I will have nothing more to do with the Mercer family."
