Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1165

Brandon and Colin nearly laughed out loud at the pathetic, transparent performance.

Martin, predictably, was horrified that his beloved wife would even suggest such a thing.

"Sabrina, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Martin gasped, pulling her tighter against his chest. "How could I ever kick you out?

Stop listening to their toxic garbage. Please, don't upset yourself. Let me take you upstairs to rest. I'll handle the mess down here.

You are my wife. Wherever I am, that is your home. Go upstairs. Let me deal with this!"

Just the mere mention of the shares had allegedly given Sabrina heart palpitations earlier. Seeing his sons relentlessly attack her, Martin was terrified she might actually have a heart attack right here on the polished marble floor.

He practically carried her up the stairs to safety, and then stomped back down the stairs, his face dark with fury.

His sons hadn't moved an inch. They stood there like statues, entirely unfazed, clearly ready to continue the war.

"Have you both completely lost all respect for me?"

"Dad, don't say that," Brandon replied calmly. "We're doing this for the survival of the family. Aren't you?

We all want the same thing, but you are completely blinded to what actually needs to be done.

Since you can't see clearly, we are forcing you to open your eyes.

Lillian has been alienated for a long time. Bringing her back is going to take a monumental effort.

We have to bleed for it. Don't you realize that if we want her back, we have to rip out the root of the poison?"

"And what exactly is this root you want to rip out? Do you want me to get a divorce?

I finally married the love of my life after years of tragedy and separation.

Colin stepped forward, his tone lethal. "Dad, Mom is living with Lillian right now. Do you honestly think we can ask Lillian to return home and just abandon Mom outside?

Do you have any idea how insane that sounds?

You only care about the money and the prestige. You haven't spared a single thought for Lillian's feelings.

How do you expect to make her happy? How do you expect to erase the hatred?

We've thought this through. Sabrina and Bella ignited this entire catastrophe. We can't just play blind and deaf anymore.

Two conditions. First, Sabrina and Bella surrender all their shares and return them to Lillian and Mom.

Second, if you won't divorce Sabrina, she becomes Mom's full-time caretaker. She will greet Mom on her knees every morning and every night. Consider it her penance!"
