Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1177

Lillian turned to leave, shutting down the conversation entirely.

Beatrice had hoped to keep Lillian around, at least to attempt a reconciliation, but Lillian completely dismissed the idea. By citing her poor health, she left no room for argument.

Beatrice couldn't possibly force her to stay.

Seeing Lillian slipping away, the three Mercer men panicked.

But with her health as an excuse, they couldn't aggressively block her path.

Yet, seeing her in person was a rare opportunity, and they couldn't just let her walk away without making their case.

Brandon rushed forward, blocking her path.

"Lillian, please. About what I promised you... I'm still working on it."

He threw a pointed glance at Martin. "It's proven difficult, but Colin and I won't give up.

We are going to get justice for you.

I've already made it crystal clear to Sabrina. When we bring you and Mom back home, Sabrina will be treated like nothing more than a lowly servant.

She'll be forced to wait on Mom hand and foot to make up for what she did.

And I'll make sure both she and Bella cough up every single share they stole from you and Mom."

Lillian paused, her gaze shifting to Martin.

Getting Sabrina to agree to those terms was going to be nearly impossible.

And the biggest obstacle was Martin himself—the ultimate love-blinded fool. Would he really push Sabrina to that extreme?

If those two refuse to hand them over, fine. Keep them.

If you want them, that's your battle to fight.

But as for making her act like a servant to my mother? No, thank you. My mother has lost her mind. Her cognitive abilities have regressed, and she can barely process the world around her.

But even if she were perfectly sane, she would never accept being served by a woman like Sabrina.

The very thought is disgusting.

If you truly want to make amends, drop the servant act. Instead, I want Sabrina and her murderer of a husband to stand before my mother every single morning and beg for her forgiveness."

The words hung heavily in the air. Martin, Sabrina's devoted husband, stared at Lillian in sheer, unadulterated shock.
