Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 908

The Mercer Residence.

"What is she trying to pull? What is her goal? Does she want to publicly humiliate us?"

The Mercer men had to sneak back into their corporate headquarters through the rear entrance early that morning.

The front of their own estate was completely blockaded by hostile reporters and influencers.

Now that the entire internet was crucifying the three of them for the arrogant statements they had made on camera, the Mercer family had become a universal laughingstock.

Upon hearing about the upcoming press conference, Martin threw a violent tantrum in his office.

His sons rushed over to strategize, having already forced themselves to calm down.

Even though Bella had revealed last night that Lillian had stopped taking their money by the time she was fifteen, it was ancient history, and difficult to prove definitively now. The brothers decided to completely ignore the public backlash and refuse to issue any more statements.

The family was already a target for public execution. The most pragmatic move was to leverage this chaos to extract tangible assets from Lillian.

"Dad, even though we made a misstep by publicly kicking her out, we still have other cards to play."

Martin took a deep breath, his voice dripping with resentment. "Looking back, I was just speaking out of anger when I told her to leave. But she was the one who ruthlessly called her lawyers in front of all those guests to sign that Severance Agreement. It's clear she had this planned all along, calculating exactly how to legally cut us off. I underestimated her. I had no idea she was hiding so much power. Even if the internet is right and we neglected her, everything I did was for this family, for the company! Didn't she grow up under the protection of the Mercer roof? She lived a life of luxury most people only dream of. Shouldn't she be grateful? When she achieves success, isn't it her duty to share it with her family? I wasted years raising her!"

Brandon was just as furious. Every time he calculated the sheer wealth the Li Algorithm was generating, a blind rage consumed him.

Why should Lillionix reap all those benefits while the Mercer family got nothing?
