Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 448

Brandon was a bit surprised to see Lillian already waiting there in person.

He had expected her to avoid them, but there she was.

Colin looked on, finding it hard to believe. "Brandon, why is Lillian being so compliant this time? This seems a little strange."

Brandon replied, "It seems she finally realizes she's made a mistake."

Only Bella, listening to the two brothers, thought they were beyond saving.

Did Lillian look like she knew she was in the wrong? Not at all.

She was clearly radiating dissatisfaction.

This was going to be complicated.

Most importantly, it was obvious that Lillian was not going to be easy to handle.

With such a large sum of money at stake, Bella worried that she would be the one forced to pay in the end.

No, she had to find a way to hold on to the money in her accounts. She couldn't let herself be the sucker who had to foot this enormous bill.

However, Bella kept her thoughts hidden. She was here to see just how far the brothers and Lillian would go in their fight.

Brandon strode forward and immediately began to scold Lillian. "Look at the mess you've made! You got Dad arrested! Do you have any idea what will happen to the Mercer Group's stock price if this gets out?"

Lillian stood there calmly, completely unmoved.

Brandon's words were almost laughable. She gave a faint smile. "This place certainly seems to attract people with the last name Mercer. This is the second group to show up today."

"Lillian, what's that supposed to mean? Are you really planning to cut all ties with the Mercer family?"

Although the Mercer family was not as powerful as it once was, Brandon and Colin had never begged anyone for anything.

They were, after all, from an old, established family with a certain amount of prestige.

Hearing the word "beg" was like having their pride thrown on the ground and stomped on.

"Lillian, he's your father, too. How can you just watch him be detained? The media is already catching wind of this. When Colin was released from prison, he had to sneak around. You grew up in a wealthy family, you should understand the consequences if this news spreads."

"But I'm not a member of the Mercer family anymore. Whatever happens to your family has nothing to do with me.

Brandon, let's just be blunt.

You came here at this hour because you want me to drop the complaint against Martin, don't you?"
