Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 409

“No, Miss Lillian, the old madam raised you herself. She taught you everything so well. If Mr. Blake didn’t know how to cherish you, that’s completely his loss.

Back when you helped Mr. Blake start his business, you worked day and night. If he’s forgotten all of that, he’s the one in the wrong.”

Lillian replied, “When it comes to feelings, there’s no right or wrong. Love is a complicated thing.

We went through so much to finally be together, but in the end, the person he loves is Bella, not me. Perhaps that’s the best answer right there.”

Martha looked at Lillian, finding her words profound and hard to grasp.

They were husband and wife, they had a son, and a huge family business to inherit. Then a third party like Bella suddenly appeared, and Miss Lillian seemed far too calm.

At a time like this, shouldn’t she be fighting for her own interests, and for her son’s?

Seeing Martha’s confused expression, Lillian gave a wry smile and said, “Martha, let’s not talk about this. On my way here, I already had someone go to the Mercer estate and pick up all the servants who wanted to leave.

They should be on their way to my current house right now.”

Martha asked, “Miss Lillian, what about all the things in your room? Did you take them? We can’t let Bella get her hands on them! Hmph, if it weren’t for her taking over your room, would she ever have had the chance to enjoy such nice things in her life?”

Lillian reassured her, “Don’t worry. Since you already instructed people to pack everything in my room, of course we took it all. That furniture was a gift from my grandmother. Not a single piece will be left for Bella. We can’t let an outsider like her benefit. Most importantly, she doesn’t deserve it.”

Martha nodded in firm agreement. “Exactly. Who does she think she is, using Miss Lillian’s things?

Martha was still a little worried. “Miss Lillian, you left with nothing, and you specifically took on the responsibility for the old madam and your mother. Isn’t that just letting your father off easy?

Originally, wasn’t it his responsibility to care for the old madam? Why did you take that on too?

In the old madam’s current state, it would be better to leave her with the Mercer family. They have deep pockets. It’s only right for them to spend some money to treat her and support her.”

Lillian said, “The men of the Mercer family all think they’re so important. Every single one of them is completely focused on their careers, thinking they’re the chosen ones.

Because of that, they have absolutely no time to care about Grandma.

Over the past two years, they already missed her best window for treatment due to their negligence.”
