Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1200

Sabrina never expected these hidden secrets to be dragged into the light after all this time.

How did she treat Eleanor? Was it even a question? She wasn't some bleeding-heart saint; why would she be kind to her? Sabrina had been seething with jealousy for years. Eleanor had everything from birth and had legitimately married Martin. Worst of all, even though Martin's true love was Sabrina, the old matriarch of the Mercer family only acknowledged Eleanor as her daughter-in-law and flatly refused to let Sabrina into the family.

Sabrina had suffered for years, unable to secure any official status. Why on earth would she treat Eleanor well?

Her weekly visits to St. Jude's Psychiatric Center were, of course, 'special care' for Eleanor.

Hitting her? That was getting off lightly. Sabrina now regretted being too timid to just end the wretched woman's life quietly. If she had been more decisive back then, she wouldn't be dealing with this catastrophic fallout now. She had missed perfect opportunities when Lillian was in prison and Eleanor was locked away in the ward.

Now, karma was coming for her. Eleanor wasn't dead; she was living a luxurious life. Sabrina, on the other hand, was terrified of what would happen once the full truth was exposed.

Faced with the barrage of accusations, Sabrina only hid silently. Martin had genuinely believed that a bit of groveling and apologizing would eventually appease Lillian. He never expected this new, horrifying wave of trouble.

The expressions on the three Mercer men's faces turned incredibly ugly at being called 'foolish.' Their faces cycled from pale to flushed. They hadn't personally bullied Eleanor, but their deliberate inaction had allowed Sabrina to abuse and threaten her. Was it really any different than if they had thrown the punches themselves?

Realizing this, Brandon gritted his teeth, completely ignoring the sting of Lillian's insult.

Lillian wasn't finished. "Even if you hated the sight of her in your house and sent her away, she was already a patient! She knew nothing, her mind reduced to that of a child. And you still went out of your way to go there every week to beat and humiliate her?"
