Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 206

The shares now under Sabrina’s name would never be returned to him or his brother. They would be passed on to an outsider.

Brandon shot to his feet. “Lillian, can we talk about our thing later? I have to go back and get this sorted out with Dad. Those shares cannot go to an outsider.”

Lillian let out a cold laugh. “The transfer is already complete. Isn’t it a little late to be saying that now?

Brandon, shouldn’t you have seen this coming?

You see how much Dad dotes on that woman every day at home. They’re married now.

A lot of the family assets are now their joint property.

Maybe they’ll get a sudden urge to have another child, and then you’ll have one more person to split the shares with.

Just think of these shares as an advance for your new little brother or sister. Yes, a new little brother or sister.”

At her words, Brandon’s mind flashed back to Martin talking about wanting a late-in-life child. He hadn’t thought much of it at the time, but now, as he connected the dots, the problem became glaringly obvious. This was a huge mess.

He was about to lose a significant portion of the company’s shares. In the future, Martin would likely give the majority of his own shares to this new child as well. It’s not unheard of in families like theirs; as people get older, they tend to dote on their youngest, compensating for a perceived lack of affection with money.

Brandon grew even more agitated. He had been working tirelessly to maintain the company for years.

Now, his father was lost in a haze of romance, leaving the entire burden on his shoulders.

His younger brother, Colin, had always supported him without ever overstepping, content to be his second-in-command. Their relationship was solid. But a new, much younger sibling would change everything.

The age gap would be too wide to form any real brotherly bond.
