Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 491

To ensure that no one could ever harm her.

Lillian casually played with her phone, looking at the father and his two sons. “I knew it. As soon as the police report came out, I knew you’d come here to cause trouble.

“Honestly, I don’t want to waste too much time dealing with you.

“First, I have no relationship with you anymore. I don’t need to explain anything about my life to you. I’m also not willing to resolve any disputes privately. Going through the police is the fastest and most efficient way.

“But I know you all too well. The moment this report was released, I knew you’d jump at the chance to make trouble for me.

“Because you’re unwilling to accept any loss.

“Not only are you unwilling to accept losses, you can’t even bear a tarnished reputation.

“How could a man who was unfaithful but refuses to admit it ever take responsibility for his actions?

“Any responsibility that can be shifted will be shifted.

“So, you see, my prediction was spot on. You came right to me, just as I expected.”

Martin said impatiently, “Enough. Are you trying to show off how smart you are with all this talking? Lillian, you’ve disappointed me more than I can say.

“After all the years the Mercer family invested in you, we raised an ungrateful wretch.

“It’s one thing that you’re incompetent and unworthy of the title of a Mercer heiress, but you had to be jealous of Bella.

“You were jealous of Bella, and then you caused my wife to have a miscarriage.

“Lillian, oh, Lillian. You’re an educated woman. How could you be so vicious?

“The police report? Who’d believe that? Did you find some influential person to pull strings for you again?

It was a talent no one else could hope to learn.

“Lillian, what do you mean by that?”

Brandon grew wary. He stood up and walked toward Lillian, but her bodyguards blocked him, preventing him from getting any closer.

“What do I mean? You’ll find out soon enough.

“If you have any other questions, please leave. Don’t bother me anymore. I’m very busy.

“After all, I’m not some rich heiress anymore. I have to support myself, and I can’t afford to waste my time.”

Just as she finished speaking, Martin suddenly rushed forward. “What do you know? I’m warning you, Lillian, you’re not a Mercer anymore! If you dare meddle in the Mercer family’s affairs, I won’t spare you…”

Before he could finish, a commanding male voice boomed from outside, “Who dares to bully Lillian? Did you bother asking for our permission?”
