Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 446

Brandon was out of options. It was clear Bella had no intention of paying, no matter what.

And he couldn't possibly come up with such a large sum of money on short notice.

The Mercer Group's tight finances weren't a recent development.

He, his father, and his brother had all invested a significant amount of their personal money into the company.

Now, trying to pull that much cash out of the business was a huge risk. If any part of the process went wrong, the Mercer Group could face a total collapse.

So he didn't dare gamble or take that risk.

After a long silence, Brandon finally spoke. "Lillian must still be at Halfridge Villas. It's still early. You're coming with me."

There was no other way. Even if they borrowed the money, they would still have to pay it back.

But things were different with Lillian. If she dropped the complaint and agreed to waive the compensation, the Mercer family wouldn't have to pay a dime.

After weighing all his options, Brandon decided that going to Lillian was the best course of action.

If someone had to bear the consequences, it was far better for Lillian to do it than them.

Bella sneered inwardly. As she'd expected. She truly understood these two brothers.

They didn't really care much for Lillian at all.

All the affection they'd shown in the past had been purely superficial.

In reality, when a real crisis hit, it became clear that the two brothers were always ready to abandon and sacrifice Lillian.

She looked like a wealthy heiress, enjoying a life of luxury, but in truth, Lillian's situation was rather pathetic.

The male elders of her family, her own brothers, were constantly prepared to sacrifice her for their own gain.

However, Bella kept her derision to herself, careful not to let it show.

After all, she was delighted to see Lillian being thrown to the wolves by her own brothers.
