Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 760

Sabrina hadn't even finished her scheduled hour-long livestream when the court of public opinion violently turned against her.

Emma immediately followed up the medical records with another explosive post: they had identified the original instigators of the rumors, issued formal cease-and-desist letters, and were preparing to sue them into oblivion.

At the exact same time, the handful of workers from a neighboring factory—the ones who had filmed the initial misleading videos—were hauled away by the police.

In the blink of an eye, the entire narrative flipped.

The Mercers, watching the metrics skew wildly out of their favor, started panicking. Before Sabrina's stream even hit the hour mark, the platform abruptly banned her account.

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Why did the account get banned? We've been doing these apology streams forever, and we've never been shut down! What just happened?"

The answer was simple. Sabrina had repeatedly screamed for an investigation into Lillian's prison stint, inadvertently highlighting the fact that Lillian's legitimate medical parole applications had been suppressed through illegal back-channeling.

Someone with serious power had panicked and pulled the plug on the stream to bury the conversation.

If they hadn't, the collateral damage to their own careers would have been catastrophic.

Sabrina stared at her screen in total shock. "What do we do? A thirty-day ban?! How..."

The entire Mercer family had gathered to monitor the stream and the comments. Watching it get nuked in real-time sent them into a tailspin.

They were starting to lose their minds.

"Brandon, look at this!" a relative shouted. "Lillian's company just launched an official account. They proved the unpaid wages thing was a total hoax. They've already got the people who started the rumor arrested. The lawyer's statements and the arrest videos are everywhere!"

Brandon snatched the phone. Reading the updates, he looked like he was going to be sick.

"That's probably why the stream got nuked. We accidentally kicked a hornet's nest and threatened some big shots' interests."

Martin suddenly remembered something. "Wait. That ungrateful daughter only got out because Sebastian and I spent a fortune pulling strings to buy her medical parole, didn't we?"

He had actually supported the online calls for an investigation earlier, thinking it would make him look like a righteous, law-abiding father.

Colin frowned. "We faked the paperwork to get her out, but she was genuinely sick. Her legitimate applications were repeatedly denied through illegal means.

"Wait a minute. If she was actually dying, legally qualifying for medical parole is standard procedure. So why on earth were her legitimate applications repeatedly denied in the first place?"

As Colin posed the question, Sabrina and her mother exchanged a deeply unsettled look, all color draining from their faces.

Colin's eyes narrowed. Something was very, very wrong.
