Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 709

"I'll do my best, Lillian. I only did this for the sake of the company. It was a last resort.

The heavy blow the Mercer Group suffered this time is somewhat related to you, you know.

You haven't said a single word from the beginning, but I don't blame you.

The Mercer Group's funds were tight, and I was truly desperate. That's why I came up with such a plan.

Originally, our two families were one. If our grandparents were still alive, they would definitely support us.

Can't you just, for the sake of—"

Before he could finish, Lillian cut him off mercilessly. "The Mercer family is the Mercer family. The Lancaster family is the Lancaster family.

Yes, you're right. If our grandparents were still alive, Mom wouldn't have become a madwoman.

And your mistress—did you really think she could just waltz into our home and replace our mother?

Didn't you and your brother play a part in letting that woman in?

Mom has been mentally ill for so many years. As her sons, not only did you fail to protect her interests, but you also allowed that mistress to move into Mom's house and take her place.

And later, with the divorce, weren't you pushing for that too?

The Mercer and Lancaster families split a long time ago. And wasn't the line of succession for the Lancaster family made clear years ago?

I am the heir to the Lancaster family. Now that I've cut ties with you, why shouldn't stealing from the Lancaster family be considered a crime?"

Brandon was at a loss for words, a new wave of hatred for Sabrina welling up inside him.

When it came down to it, it was all that woman's fault. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have reached this point.

And if things hadn't reached this point, the Mercer Group could have relied on the Lancaster family's funds to get through this crisis.

Only now did Brandon realize that ever since Lillian went to prison, they had painted themselves into a corner.
