Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 401

The staff knew, of course. They had all seen Lillian and every single member of the Mercer family sign the papers severing their ties.

"You're right, Ms. Ward. Mr. Mercer did kick Ms. Lillian out of the family. But what does that matter? We know in our hearts whether she is a Mercer or not. The matriarch of this family isn't dead yet. Even if Ms. Lillian has cut ties with everyone else, she could never cut ties with the matriarch. Even if she isn't the young miss of this house anymore, she's still of the matriarch's bloodline, the granddaughter she doted on. We're all paid by the matriarch.

So, Ms. Ward, if you want Ms. Lillian's things thrown out, you'd best find someone else to do it. We all know the matriarch's wishes, so we wouldn't dare throw away Ms. Lillian's belongings. If the matriarch were to wake up one day, she would surely blame us."

Bella was putting on all the airs of the lady of the house, looking imposing and full of authority. But she hadn't expected the household staff to dare defy her. Not a single one of them would listen to her instructions. And now they were using a woman in a coma to challenge her? It was infuriating.

"Enough! The matriarch, the matriarch, that's all you talk about! If you care so much about her, then go find her. Who are you trying to scare with a woman in a vegetative state? Even if she woke up right now, can't you see who's in charge of this family?

I'm telling you, my mother and I are now the largest shareholders in the Mercer family. Who do you think you are to disobey me?
