The Mercer Residence.
"What is she trying to pull? What is her goal? Does she want to publicly humiliate us?"
The Mercer men had to sneak back into their corporate headquarters through the rear entrance early that morning.
The front of their own estate was completely blockaded by hostile reporters and influencers.
Now that the entire internet was crucifying the three of them for the arrogant statements they had made on camera, the Mercer family had become a universal laughingstock.
Upon hearing about the upcoming press conference, Martin threw a violent tantrum in his office.
His sons rushed over to strategize, having already forced themselves to calm down.
Even though Bella had revealed last night that Lillian had stopped taking their money by the time she was fifteen, it was ancient history, and difficult to prove definitively now. The brothers decided to completely ignore the public backlash and refuse to issue any more statements.
The family was already a target for public execution. The most pragmatic move was to leverage this chaos to extract tangible assets from Lillian.
