Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1013

It was always the capable ones whose skills and triumphs people remembered.

Bella bounced back with astonishing speed. The moment the product announcement went live, she was operating at full throttle once more.

Just as Lillian had observed, she truly was as unkillable as a cockroach.

People with that kind of relentless drive usually managed to succeed at whatever they set their minds to.

But whether Bella would actually triumph this time depended entirely on whether Lillian was willing to let her off the hook.

After everything Bella had done to destroy her, why would Lillian ever show her mercy? Forgiving her would mean betraying herself.

While the Mercer Group's stock prices experienced a slight bump, Brandon Mercer remained obsessively focused on uncovering the truth behind Lillian's imprisonment.

His self-imposed three-day deadline had already passed. Naturally, he felt no guilt over the delay; as long as he could eventually present Lillian with answers, he considered it a win.

That afternoon, Brandon finally secured the evidence. He immediately summoned Martin and Colin Mercer to his office.

Once the three Mercer men were secured behind closed doors, the secret meeting began.

Brandon slammed a thick file onto the center of his desk. "Dad. The truth is out. You need to handle this.

"The sheer cruelty of what happened is sickening. You'd better be ready to answer for it."

Martin bristled, snatching the file off the desk. He flipped it open and stared at the Prison Surveillance Stills, which clearly showed Sabrina Ward secretly meeting with the prison contact.

"This... this is just two photos! What does this prove?"

Brandon crossed his arms, his gaze piercing. "I'm only going to ask you this once. Did you tell Sabrina to contact the guards we bribed? Did you give her orders to do anything to Lillian?"
