Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 998

Brandon's face turned a violent shade of green.

He was the dignified CEO of the Mercer Group, and yet Ethan had the audacity to suggest he was only fit to be a security guard?

However, even though he was practically suffocating on his own rage, there was absolutely nothing he could do.

His top priority was speaking to Lillian. If this were any other day, Brandon would never have let such a low-level lackey mock him, but this opportunity was too rare to ruin.

He called out toward the desk, "Lillian..."

Lillian glanced briefly at Ethan.

Ethan mockingly extended a hand in a gesture of invitation. "Please, Mr. Mercer, step inside. Since you went through all the trouble to sneak in, it wouldn't be right to just kick you out.

Actually, it wouldn't be a problem to have you literally thrown out on the street, but that would just make you look even more pathetic.

Then again, the Mercer family probably doesn't care much about public humiliation anymore, do they?

After all, you've made quite a fool of yourselves these past few months."

Brandon finally snapped.

"I'm here to see my sister. Who the hell are you?

Are you the man she mentioned at the press conference? The man backing her?"

Truthfully, even though Brandon accepted that Lillian was the legendary hacker Li, he still refused to believe she possessed that level of raw talent on her own.

Given the endless internet speculation regarding the mysterious boyfriend she had publicly acknowledged but never named, the Mercer men shared a deep, cynical suspicion. They believed this hidden patron was her true source of power. They assumed that whatever success she achieved as 'Li' was actually orchestrated by the man standing in the shadows.

In their eyes, Lillian had never been anything special.

Society often praised the 'woman behind the man' as a supportive, nurturing figure.
