Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 312

Besides, the Mercer family of today was a far cry from the one under her grandmother's control; it had long since weakened. Sabrina would never get what she truly wanted.

But Lillian remained silent, her amusement hidden, and didn't retort.

She just said softly, "I'm tired."

She looked at Sabrina, her voice loud enough for her father and brothers to hear.

Sabrina clenched her jaw. She was furious that Lillian didn't take the bait, but anger alone wouldn't solve the problem now.

Lillian was the patient. Everyone was focused on her, and all attention was on her.

Most importantly, because she was sick, everyone would indulge her.

If Sabrina didn't, it would make her look petty.

Sabrina quickly called for a maid. "The room is all ready. Take the young miss upstairs to rest. Make sure the doctor and nurse take good care of her. And you all," she added, her voice hardening, "the young miss is ill and not well. I want you to attend to her carefully.

If anyone is careless and makes her uncomfortable, you'll answer to me."

Sabrina's tone shifted from gentle to severe, and it sounded to everyone like she was deliberately showing off her status as the new mistress of the house in front of Lillian.

Lillian was a married daughter. Even if she came back to stay, it was only a temporary visit, not a permanent return.

She was just a relative, not the lady of the house.

And she, Sabrina, was now the true mistress of this home.
