Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1183

Bella had no choice but to step in.

"Dad, have you lost your mind? How could you agree to something like this? Lillian has gone completely overboard. Regardless of everything, you're her biological father!

How can she force you to grovel and beg? With your status and social standing, it's completely inappropriate for you to degrade yourself like that."

Bella knew the only way to save her mother was to drag Martin's ego into the crossfire.

Martin's face darkened.

When he agreed, he hadn't fully considered the sheer humiliation of it. Now that Bella was throwing his status and pride in his face, he realized what a monumental mistake he'd made, but it was too late.

Brandon and Colin glared at Bella with pure hostility.

"Are you seriously complaining that Lillian's terms are too harsh right now?" Colin sneered.

"You two really know how to play the game, don't you? You want Lillian to come back and bring massive profits to the company.

But you refuse to pay any price for it. Do you think Lillian is an idiot?

Dad already agreed to this. Who gave you the right to run your mouth? Who gave you the right to refuse?

And Sabrina, why are you keeping so quiet? Do you find this too hard to say yourself, so you're letting Bella do your dirty work?"

Brandon watched the mother-daughter duo coldly, occasionally glancing at his father's expression.

These two were truly venomous. Ask for the shares, they refuse. Propose an alternative, and it's suddenly too harsh. They wanted everything without giving up anything.

Brandon was actually happy to let them keep complaining.

If your father has already accepted the terms, then of course I'll do it.

Whether it's groveling, begging for forgiveness, or doing another live broadcast to repent in front of the whole world, I'm willing.

My heart just aches that Martin has to suffer this humiliation right alongside me."

Brandon was genuinely stunned.

Wait, this woman... how did she...?

He scoffed internally. It was no wonder she had managed to keep Martin wrapped around her finger all these years. She possessed a terrifying level of cunning.

He had expected this to be a massive fight, but she agreed instantly, and managed to spin it to stroke Martin's ego at the same time.
