Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1083

"I refuse to believe those men can outsmart us."

Once the mother and daughter finalized their plan, they resolved to take their shares to the grave if necessary.

Let's see what those men could really do to them.

After the negotiations collapsed, Sabrina completely stopped caring. She didn't even bother to put on an act.

When she returned to her room, she saw Martin sitting there. She masked her expression slightly, reigning in her immediate disdain.

Without saying a single word to him, she changed into her pajamas, leaned back against the headboard, and began casually scrolling on her phone.

Martin watched her, completely baffled. She wasn't crying, and she wasn't screaming. What was going on?

He had never seen her act this indifferent after a major fight. In the past, she would have already thrown herself into his arms, sobbing and causing a scene.

Her unnatural calmness caught him entirely off guard.

He shot her a few sideways glances, but Sabrina's expression didn't shift in the slightest. He had no idea what she was reading on her phone, but she was pointedly ignoring his existence.

Martin still had some lingering affection for her, and his heart gave a nervous thump.

He started to rethink his actions. Had his words earlier been too harsh?

He had been furious. The daily screaming matches in the house robbed him of any peace and quiet. With the family feeling entirely fractured, how could he not be angry?

He had been driven half-mad with frustration, which was why he had disregarded her feelings and spoken so severely.

After a long while of Sabrina showing zero reaction and continuing to play on her phone, Martin couldn't take it anymore. He poured a glass of water and brought it over to her side of the bed.

"What, you want to help them lock me up too? Your precious daughter spent two years behind bars, and you all think she was framed, so you want to throw me in there to make it even, is that it?"

Seeing the sheer fury on Sabrina's face, Martin scrambled to placate her.

"Of course not! How could I ever want to send you to prison? You're my wife, you're supposed to be by my side for the rest of my life. I want to spoil and cherish you—how could I ever lock you away?"

Sabrina seized on his words instantly. "Your two sons and your daughter are all dying to send me there."

"It doesn't matter what you want."

"They all bully me, and at the end of the day, you just stand there and help them do it."

"You say you won't send me to prison? Then swear it. Promise me you will absolutely never do it, and you will never allow them to do it either!"
