Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 354

She had put on a big show of cutting ties with the Mercer family, but now that she was sick, she came back. Was this the reason?

Bella thought about it and decided it made sense. Lillian was supporting her crazy mother and her comatose grandmother; the expenses must be huge.

On top of that, she herself was seriously ill, so she must need money for everything.

She had no ability but insisted on starting her own business, and she chose a project that burned through cash. No wonder she had been so desperate to sell her mother's shares before.

It seemed she was so broke she was on the verge of not being able to survive.

Bella's mood lifted, and she instantly felt refreshed.

Lillian was sick, and the men who used to flock around her had disappeared. For instance, that Nathan guy hadn't been seen helping Lillian out for a while.

Plagued by illness and out of money. The way Bella looked at Lillian was suddenly filled with pity.

Sabrina also felt a sense of satisfaction.

Among the Mercers, only Lillian had been sharp since childhood, treating her as an enemy and looking down on her with disdain. Now, it seemed, her life was pretty miserable too.

The Mercer men didn't realize this.

Brandon was still focused on the main issue. "Dad, Ms. Ward, since you're both here today, I'll just be blunt.

"The company is going through a difficult time right now, and we don't have a lot of cash on hand.

"And Dad, even if you deny it, rumors don't start from nothing.

"I need to start new projects, create new business lines. The tech sector has always been a cash drain, as you all know.

"Bella should understand this best. A halfway decent talent costs a million a year, and one is never enough.

"And that's just for personnel, which is the lowest cost. The other investments are frighteningly large.
