Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 704

Brandon fell silent. The excuses he had prepared on the tip of his tongue suddenly felt impossible to say.

Lillian was certain it was him, which meant she must have proof.

And if she had proof, there was no point in arguing.

He could only ask back, “Lillian, what makes you so sure it was me?”

“Who else could it be? No one in the Mercer family gives a damn about Midvale. Because none of you care, your eyes have always been fixed on the Mercer Group. The only exception was when you came with me to Midvale, back to the Lancaster estate, to deal with Martin Mercer’s divorce. You toured the family businesses and saw all those priceless items. I never thought you would stoop to targeting the heirlooms at our family’s home. Brandon, you have absolutely no shame. Aren’t you the self-proclaimed CEO of the Mercer Group? How could you do something like this? Just think, if this gets out, what do you think will happen to the Mercer Group? Do you think you’ll have any chance at the relisting you’ve been fighting for all this time? Brandon, you disgust me.”

Brandon hadn’t expected that such a trivial matter would be blown up to this proportion by Lillian.

And it was supposed to be a small thing, so how was it discovered so quickly?

The people at the Lancaster estate really couldn't keep their mouths shut.

If he had known, he would have found another way. At least then he wouldn’t have been found out so fast, bringing this trouble upon himself.

Hearing Lillian’s threat, Brandon immediately asked, “Lillian, what are you planning to do? You’re not thinking of exposing this, are you? Are you crazy?”

“Am I crazy? You’re the one who did something like this, and you think there’s anything I wouldn’t do? You were the one who acted shamelessly first. Do you really think you can protect the Mercer Group’s reputation?”

Brandon’s composure finally broke.

“Lillian, don’t be rash. Where are you? Let’s meet and talk, okay? I still have some of the Lancaster items. We can talk in person, and I’ll give them all back to you.”

There were more items?

Lillian was so furious she hung up the phone.

She truly hadn’t realized Brandon had become so unhinged.
