Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 588

Hearing Bella’s words, a pang of guilt rose in Martin’s heart.

After all, this was his dearest wife. He never wanted to see her suffer.

Imagining her in the state Bella described, he forgot all about the sibling quarrel and rushed toward the conference room to see Sabrina.

Once Martin was gone, Bella looked at Brandon. “Brandon, you know how much Dad cares about Mom. From now on, you should probably just humor him a little.”

With that, to avoid another fight that the employees outside might overhear, Bella left first, heading toward the conference room.

Inside the room, Sabrina, with no one to back her up, was diligently memorizing the speech.

It was much easier to recite words someone else had written than to organize her own thoughts for an apology.

At least this way, she reasoned, the apology she was giving wasn’t genuinely from the heart.

Besides, in her mind, the whole issue was just a small design problem. She never would have imagined Lillian would be so calculating; otherwise, she wouldn’t be in this position.

In any case, she felt not a single shred of remorse.

But the apology was unavoidable.

So, she decided to memorize a few lines from the script. It was better than standing there, unable to say a word, which would be mortifying.

When Martin entered, Sabrina was briefly stunned. But Bella followed right behind him and immediately shot her a look.

Sabrina caught the signal and instantly understood.

She immediately put on a wronged expression, clutched the script, and rushed into Martin’s arms.

The Mercer Group can’t afford…”

Brandon knew there would be more drama over here. He’d anticipated it and rushed over.

Sure enough, he heard the PR person talking about reading from a script.

This was insane.

“At a time like this, everyone needs to think about the big picture. If one apology can solve the problem, then let’s do it right the first time.

Let’s not give the public another flaw to pick apart. Are we really trying to take the Mercer Group down with us?”

As he finished, Brandon’s gaze fell on Martin.
