“What do you mean?” Sabrina asked sharply.
“My dear brothers have already approached me about buying my mother’s shares,” Lillian explained. “Once Brandon gets his hands on them, he’ll be the largest shareholder. It wouldn’t be hard for him to push Dad out of the company. It’s such a shame.
In the future, when your child grows up, all they’ll have is a tiny dividend from the shares you currently own.
That won’t be nearly enough to live lavishly on, especially since the Mercer Group’s income is limited these days.
Ms. Ward, don’t say I never did anything for you.
My mother needs a lot of money for her treatment. If you’re interested in her shares, I’m not opposed to selling them to you.
Highest bidder wins.
If you get more shares, you can help Dad maintain balance in the company, and maybe your child will have a foothold in the future.
But it’s up to you. I won’t block your number for the next three days. Let me know your decision.”
With that, Lillian hung up.
Sabrina didn’t call back. But Lillian knew she wouldn’t be disappointed. The fact that she was pregnant was proof enough of how badly she wanted another child and another piece of the pie.
Lillian hadn’t called her father directly, not out of mercy, but because she was more interested in seeing what would happen when the “mom” Brandon and Colin had always been so fond of started fighting them for the family fortune. She wondered if they would still like her so much then.
When Brandon emerged from their grandmother’s room, Lillian was already waiting outside the door.
