Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 770

The Mercer family had spectacularly shot themselves in the foot. Rushing to capitalize on the internet drama before the facts were clear, their hasty reaction brought down a brutal wave of backlash.

Early that morning, the executive boardroom looked like a morgue. The men sat around the table, resembling a flock of defeated roosters.

Half the building had pulled an all-nighter trying to manage the fallout.

Resignations at Mercer Group had been pouring in lately. Employees hadn't seen a single cent in raises, but the mandatory overtime had skyrocketed to an abusive level.

It was an open secret among the staff that the company was on a fatal downward spiral. Even if the stock suspension were lifted, they would never return to their former glory.

Brandon and his brother were visibly haggard. The moment they saw the scandalous headlines about Lillian the night before, they had thrown immense resources into fanning the flames, only for it to blow up in their faces.

They never anticipated such a sudden reversal, leaving the entire boardroom entirely demoralized.

Sabrina's livestream account had been permanently banned, abruptly ending her mandatory public apologies.

Privately, Sabrina was thrilled. At least she no longer had to sit in front of a camera every single day, playing the victim, and squeezing out fake tears to appease the masses.

She had felt humiliated enough.

Thankfully, she didn't have to broadcast anymore.

Back in the boardroom, Martin finally broke the suffocating silence.

"Are we all just going to sit here? We're in the middle of a disaster and no one is speaking. What the hell is this?"

Silence? That wouldn't fix anything.

Feeling the murderous glares of the executives boring into his skull, the PR Director nervously cleared his throat.

"I take full responsibility for this. When the news first broke, I consulted with the senior Ms. Mercer. We believed it was a golden opportunity to strike, so we made a rash decision without monitoring the situation."

Brandon remained dead silent.
