Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1036

Martin's newly calmed nerves instantly ignited into anger again. "What exactly does she want from us?

I admit, her two years in prison were incredibly unfair, but back then, we intended to give her a lot of benefits, and she refused them.

Now, Sabrina is married to me; she's a part of this family.

Lillian's health can't magically go back to how it was. I've already agreed to let you punish Sabrina.

What more does she want?

Does she expect me to divorce Sabrina and leave her with nothing?"

Brandon's face hardened. "Dad, what are you talking about? You chose this woman yourself. You have to admit her character is fundamentally flawed, right?

Flawed is flawed, and there's no point in making excuses for her.

Ever since she joined this family, she's brought us nothing but trouble. If it weren't for her and Bella, would the Mercers be in this miserable state?

At the very least, Grandma wouldn't have been hurt.

If Grandma was still here, this family wouldn't have fallen apart, and Lillian wouldn't resent us.

You bear the main responsibility for the disaster this family has become.

We have all the evidence now, and we should deal with that woman properly. Yet you're too softhearted to actually do it. Do you really think that's appropriate?"

Martin slammed his hand on the desk and stood up, pointing toward the door. "Get the hell out! I don't want to look at you, you disgraceful son..."

Brandon scoffed coldly. "Disgraceful son? You're absolutely right, I am. So let me give you one more piece of news. Tomorrow is the St. Kingsley University anniversary.

The Mercers' reputation has been in the gutter worldwide for a long time.

Ever since your wife's live-streamed apology, the Mercer Group has been taking constant hits. Getting slapped in the face publicly is practically our new normal.

Our pride is completely worthless right now.

Who cares about reputation? If Lillian publicly announces her return to the family, that will be the greatest boost to our image we could possibly ask for.

But if she refuses to come back, refuses to give us any shares in her algorithm, and refuses to partner with us... do you really think Bella can single-handedly keep the Mercer Group afloat?

I'll let you in on a little secret. Outsiders might be clueless, but I know for a fact that the revolutionary phone she's been hyping up is a complete fraud. She swapped out the core technology.

As for how it's actually going to sell? Right now, it's a total gamble!
