Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 168

After Lillian and her combat-ready companion left, the Mercer residence fell into an immediate, unnerving silence.

In the aftermath of the grand wedding, the large Mercer villa felt starkly empty.

The fading opulence only accentuated the everyday quiet and coldness.

Sabrina, too, found the atmosphere uncomfortable, and her expression soured.

Bella, already fuming, locked herself in her room, refusing to see anyone.

Seeing his new bride unhappy, Martin naturally couldn't be happy either.

“The next time we have a large family celebration, your sister is absolutely not allowed back.”

Brandon spoke up. “Dad, this wasn't Lillian's fault. Her company's situation was clearly...”

Any discerning person could see that someone had instigated this, and it was obviously Bella...

Brandon didn't know if Lillian's company was actually working on Low-altitude economy, but what if she succeeded?

After all, she had Victor on her team.

It was clear that Victor was extremely protective of Lillian.

For such a brilliant mind to be willing to work for his sister's company, what did that signify?

So many people were trying to poach Victor, yet he remained unmoved. What did that prove?

Brandon’s greatest wish now was to get Lillian to join the Mercer family's company. If she would just come back, the Mercers would never have to bow to anyone again.

Perhaps the Mercer family could even surpass the Blake family in the future.

Furthermore, Bella had gained nothing from today's incident. The fact that she was now hiding in her room, sulking, proved that Lillian's company had some real strength.

It didn't matter if that strength came from Lillian or Victor.

Even if Lillian lacked the skills herself, her ability to retain top talent was a formidable asset.

However, before Brandon could finish his thought, Martin shot him down. “What is that supposed to mean?

Are you saying your sister was in the right?

She came to my wedding and caused a scene.
