Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 889

After a quick discussion, the three Mercer men ordered the estate gates to be opened.

Reporters instantly flooded the grounds, desperate for an interview. The Mercers had been doing relatively well over the past few days, so the father and sons gathered their composure and stepped out looking sharp and invigorated, ready for the cameras.

The reporters fired off their questions frantically. The sharpest opening question came immediately: "Have you all seen the Lillionix Grand Launch today? What are your thoughts on your estranged family member, Lillian, being the legendary hacker Li?"

"Did any of you know beforehand that Lillian was Li?"

"Mr. Mercer, we heard your company was actively seeking a partnership for the Li Algorithm. Did you really not know that the genius behind it was your own daughter?"

Martin Mercer's face turned incredibly ugly. He immediately shot back, "What kind of nonsense is that? We were looking to partner with the real Li, not some fraud."

The moment Martin spoke those words, the crowd erupted. Reporters aggressively shoved their microphones closer to him.

"Mr. Mercer, are you saying Lillian is a fake?"

"Mr. Mercer, you used to be a family. You must know her best. Is Lillian truly a fraud?"

"Mr. Mercer, do you have any proof that she's faking her identity?"

"Could the two of you share your thoughts?" they asked, turning to his sons.

"How do you explain Lillian's flawless performance and technical execution at the press conference today?"

The reporters pressed harder, trying to dig up every last detail. The Mercers, however, deliberately put on a show of reluctance, as if they didn't want to say too much. But the more they feigned hesitation, the more it fueled everyone's rabid curiosity.

"Mr. Mercer, could you elaborate on that?"

"Could the two of you explain a bit more?"

"We have nothing more to say," Martin declared coldly. "That rebellious disgrace was kicked out of this house a long time ago. She severed all ties with us, and from that day forward, we have had absolutely nothing to do with each other. Please leave. Do not disrupt our lives because of her anymore.

"Whatever rebellious stunts she pulls in the future have nothing to do with the Mercer family. And when her actions finally backfire on her, the Mercer family will not bear a single shred of the consequences for her. She has no real talent, yet she pretends to run a tech company and play this ridiculous game of impersonating a genius. You can all disperse now. All of this has absolutely nothing to do with our family!"
