Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1023

"It's our fault for not taking better care of them. Otherwise, given Lillian's nature, she would have cut us some slack out of respect for Mom and Grandmother."

"Alright, drop it. We did all this for the company. She may have an extraordinary background, but she kept the family in the dark.

Didn't we work tirelessly at the company so that Mom, Grandmother, and she could have a better life?"

Colin thought about it and nodded. "True, we haven't done anything wrong. Everything we do is for the family.

It was true then, and it's true now."

Lillian wasn't around to hear this conversation. Had she been, she would have scoffed at the sheer hypocrisy of the Mercer men.

They ruthlessly clawed their way up the corporate ladder for their own reputations and ambitions, yet patted themselves on the back for doing it 'for the family.'

In reality, whenever their family actually needed them, they were nowhere to be found.

Even when their mother was being abused, they were grown men—even if they hadn't officially joined the company yet.

They knew perfectly well that their father was at fault, yet not a single one of them stepped up to demand justice for their mother or call out their father's behavior.

Now, tossing out the phrase 'for the family' made it sound as though they had made some tremendous sacrifice.

Lillian despised this self-righteous attitude more than anything.

Since Lillian was dining out that night, Leonard Prescott was naturally concerned.

He wanted to tag along and watch the drama unfold, but given his status, it wouldn't have been appropriate.

Instead, he tasked Ethan with accompanying her.
