Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 703

She, too, had been prepared to crush the Mercer Group at any moment.

The only reason she had held back was out of consideration for her grandmother.

Her only remaining connection to the Mercer family was her grandmother.

Mr. Peregrine had said her grandmother would wake up.

What if she woke up only to find…

Lillian gritted her teeth. “Settle it privately! But he absolutely cannot get off this easily. Preserve the evidence. We’ll settle the score later.”

“Lillian, what Mr. Prescott said… are you not mentally prepared for it?” Stephen asked.

Lillian sighed helplessly. “Mr. Peregrine said my grandmother should be waking up soon. I just don’t want her to wake up and find that the empire she spent most of her life protecting is completely gone. I want to leave her something to hold on to.”

With Lillian putting it that way, Stephen couldn't press the issue.

Leonard, meanwhile, had always supported all of her decisions.

If she gave the order, he was ready to be her vanguard, charging into battle to bankrupt the Mercer Group directly.

But as long as she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless and still had reservations, Leonard wouldn’t act rashly.

Before making any move, he would always consider her concerns and act with absolute discretion.

Just like last time.

“Alright, since you’ve made a decision, Lillian, leave the rest to me.”

Lillian still couldn't suppress the loathing she felt.

The force of her shout left Brandon stunned.

His voice lost its confidence. “Lillian… what’s wrong?”

“How dare you ask? Brandon, how much of our grandparents’ property have you stolen and sold? Do you have any idea what those antiques are worth? What gives you the right to treat the Lancaster estate’s treasures like this?”

If Brandon was confused at first, he understood everything now that he heard her words.

His first instinct was to say, “Lillian, it wasn’t me, you’ve misunderstood…”

“I misunderstood? Misunderstood what? That you didn’t collude with someone in the family to steal those things? That you didn’t find the auction house to sell them? Or are you about to find a scapegoat to take the fall?”

With her laying it all out, Brandon had no way out.

Lillian was trembling with anger. “Brandon, bringing you to Midvale was the biggest regret of my life. The men of the Mercer family only love themselves!”
