Colin’s mind just froze, unable to process what his brother had just said.
He repeated the question, almost to himself. "Brandon, what did you say? What did Lillian do with Mom's shares?"
Brandon's voice was filled with anguish. "She sold them to Sabrina and Bella at a premium. Now, the two of them hold more shares than we do. If we don't do something, we're going to be pushed out of our own company."
Fury surged through Colin, his mind filled with blame for Lillian.
"Is Lillian crazy? How could she give those shares to outsiders? We're her brothers! How could she do this to us?"
"I'd love to know why she did it, too, but we're running out of time," Brandon said. "I have no idea how those two managed to raise so much money so quickly and snap up the shares.
"I used to think they had no ambition. I really believed they didn't care about money, that Sabrina genuinely loved Dad and wasn't interested in his fortune.
"But now that they're married and her position is secure, she's showing her true colors. She's barely pregnant and already she's trying to wrestle the family fortune away from us."
Colin was livid. "Brandon, they're basically declaring war on us, aren't they?
"What's the meaning of this? Isn't Bella doing just fine working for Sebastian?
"She knows nothing about our business. What does she plan to do with all those shares?
"Don't tell me she's planning to leave Sebastian's side to take over our company.
"We've spent every vacation since we were sixteen working our way up from the bottom of this company. Is she just going to swoop in and take it all?"
