Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 587

Brandon had heard about the phone call. Sebastian had said he would marry Bella no matter what.

He had no idea how Bella had gotten so lucky that Sebastian would protect her under these circumstances.

That would have been unthinkable in the past.

Brandon knew very well that Sebastian was a sophisticated pragmatist.

He wasn’t some starry-eyed romantic who would throw everything away for Bella.

Brandon didn’t really care if their wedding was on or off.

But seeing Bella barge in so arrogantly, threatening him with that tone, rubbed him the wrong way.

“Congratulations. I wish you a happy marriage and a long life together. Is that good enough for you?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Brandon said, “You two were the ones who were supposed to apologize in the first place. What’s the big deal about memorizing a few lines? If you have the guts, go out there and give a sincere, unscripted apology.

But given everything you and your mother did to Lillian, you probably don’t genuinely believe you did anything wrong, do you?

So how would you even manage without a script?

This is a live broadcast to the entire internet. If your acting is too poor, it will only plunge the company into an even deeper crisis. You understand that, right?

If you make such a fuss over a few pages of a speech, even if Sebastian marries you, he’ll get sick of you one day.”

The remark struck a raw nerve regarding Bella’s sensitive marital situation.

“Brandon, what are you implying? Are you cursing me? You don’t want to see me happy, is that it? Don’t forget, when you take over the Mercer Group, you’ll be relying on the Blake Group.

Brandon, do you have any sense of responsibility? And you, Bella, I’ve always tried not to be harsh with you, but look at your behavior lately. Why are you always fighting with your brothers?”

Bella hadn’t expected Martin to turn on her.

She immediately replied, “Dad, I don’t want to fight with my brothers. It’s just that the people from the PR department gave Mom a huge stack of speeches to memorize.

Mom is so nervous and scared right now. She’s never been in a situation like this.

I know the live apology is a publicity stunt. The company needs to manage the narrative now.

The direction this takes will determine if we can turn our reputation around.

But you should go see Mom. She’s too scared to even think straight, let alone memorize all that long-winded stuff. She’s a complete mess.”
