Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 492

The voice was loud and imposing, enough to startle even Martin.

His first reaction was that the man hiding behind Lillian had finally shown up to back her.

He pointed a finger at Lillian, his posture insulting and his eyes filled with contempt.

The tone of his voice dripped with disdain for her.

“Don’t think you can change anything just because you seduced some man to stand up for you.”

As Martin said this, Brandon tried to stop him. “Dad…”

But he was too late to prevent the harsh words from coming out.

At first, he hadn’t placed the voice, but it quickly struck him as incredibly familiar.

He thought for a moment, and just as a figure began to form in his mind, the door to the private room swung open.

The person he imagined and the person standing before him were one and the same.

It was the man from the Lancaster family who had hosted him and Lillian during their trip to Midvale. He even remembered his name—Stephen Clarke. It was simple and easy to recall.

Brandon had taken the time to learn about the Lancaster family of Midvale. Though he hadn’t spent much time on it, his brief encounter had given him a sense of their influence.

Behind Stephen were more than a dozen other people, men and women, young and old. They were all members of the Lancaster clan, the same group who had conferred before having one of the elders sign Martin’s divorce papers.

Seeing them now, Brandon was momentarily stunned.

Martin had only met the Lancasters back when he married Eleanor Lancaster.

Later, people from Midvale had visited Northwyn, but he disliked dealing with them. He would use work as an excuse to avoid them ten times out of ten.
