Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1346

The ultimate goal was for Noah to keep Lillian thoroughly pacified, making her believe she had finally won her son's heart.

Once they had drained her dry and the Mercer Group no longer needed her, they would pull the rug out. They would let her know that her precious son never loved her for a single second.

Just the thought of it sent a thrill of vindication through Sabrina's veins.

If they could pull that off, every slap and humiliation would be worth it.

To witness Lillian's utter devastation firsthand would be the sweetest revenge.

Martin didn't care about the psychological warfare. He couldn't care less if Noah actually loved Lillian, nor did he care about Lillian's feelings.

His only priority was whether Noah could manipulate her.

If Noah could keep her under control, Martin would keep the boy at the Mercer estate as long as possible.

With Noah as leverage, Lillian would eventually cave and return to the company.

The humiliating apologies and groveling needed to end. He was sick to his stomach of begging for forgiveness.

He just wanted Lillian back in the boardroom so the Mercer Group could regain its footing, and he could wash his hands of this entire nightmare.

He was her father, for God's sake, yet he was being forced to act like a whipped dog, kneeling daily, taking slaps from a lunatic, and forcing out insincere apologies. He couldn't stomach another day of it.

Seeing Martin fully on board, Sabrina piled on the flattery, coaxing Noah further.

"Look how happy you've made your grandpa, Noah. He's getting older, and all he wants is to see the family united and happy."

"If you make peace with your mom, Grandpa will be thrilled. Right?"
