Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 218

Brandon was a little surprised. "Quitting coffee, just like that?" As soon as he said it, something seemed to click.

"Oh, is it because you're going abroad for Noah's treatment? But I saw Sebastian drinking it as usual a few days ago, and he seemed fine."

Lillian rolled her eyes, not even bothering to look at him.

There was no point in trying to explain something like this to him.

"If you have something to say, say it. Don't waste my time with pointless chatter. Why are you here?"

"Lillian, I really need your help this time," Brandon said. "We're brother and sister, right? Blood is thicker than water. You can't just leave me high and dry. Think about it. Ever since Dad remarried, it's like things are different between us.

"Ms. Ward is the woman he's dreamed of for years. He wants to start a new life with her, and he wants a child of their own. A lot of things might change in the future.

"Before, when you returned your shares, no one in the family really had any designs on them. But it's different now.

"The moment he got married, he started making moves with those shares.

"Lillian, I know you're capable and successful now. You've started your own company, you don't care about these shares, and you don't need the income.

"But the Mercer family is still your family, at the end of the day. It's your safety net.

"Dad and I had a huge fight, and people at the company are already starting to pick sides.

"I'm afraid that soon, it won't be a matter of what I want anymore. The company will be forced into a change of leadership.

"Lillian, you don't want to see power in the company fall into the wrong hands, do you?

"You'd want to have a fallback option, right?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Lillian replied. "You all can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me. I'm not getting involved in your affairs. I've already made that clear.

"But you said they want to have a child at their age?"

"About the baby... Colin came home last night and heard she might already be pregnant. She's going to the hospital today for a detailed check-up.

"When that happens, the baby and Sabrina will definitely get some shares too.

"Lillian, you're my sister. If you stand by me this time and help me get through this, or help me get back the shares from Ms. Ward and Bella, my position will be secure."

Lillian couldn't help but laugh. "Yes, you're my brother. But Martin Mercer is my father.

"Brandon, don't force me to choose. The best thing for all of you is for me not to choose.

"Besides, my shares have already been transferred to Sabrina and Bella's names. They have nothing to do with me anymore.
