Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1224

Martin pulled her into a hug. "Alright. What's done is done.

"The priority now is fixing this mess.

"When you bullied Eleanor, did you ever think her daughter would one day become this powerful?

"That she would see right through you before you even spoke?

"It's fine to make mistakes, but you have to know how to clean up your mess.

"Eleanor has lost her mind anyway; whether you hit her or scolded her doesn't matter now.

"What matters is that Lillian holds the key to the Mercer Group's future. She's our only hope for survival.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Of course Sabrina understood. And she absolutely wasn't going to let today's beating be in vain!

Seeing the sheer paradise of Halfridge Villas had opened her eyes.

As long as she didn't have to give up her shares, she would cooperate.

She would even eat dirt if it meant keeping her wealth.

So, she was willing to keep apologizing.

But the humiliation burned her throat.

If enduring this got her what she wanted, fine.

If it didn't, it would be a devastating loss.

Calculating her next move, she wrapped her arms around Martin's neck. "Martin, we're her elders. If we grovel, will she really forgive us?

"Is she really capable of bringing the Mercer Group back to the top?"

Martin was full of hope, but he knew the path ahead was brutal.

She had nearly been beaten to death today!

She was greedy, but she didn't want to lose her life over this.

Even if Lillian never returned, Sabrina could still live a very comfortable life as the lady of the Mercer family.

Martin was a love-blinded fool; he would starve himself before letting her go hungry.

She wasn't worried about surviving.

But she didn't just want comfort; she wanted extreme luxury.

It sickened her that a madwoman like Eleanor could wear the finest, most exclusive designer clothes.

Some people were just born lucky.

Sabrina quickly went back to soothing Martin.
