Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 496

She hadn't even made it to the office when Brandon caught up to them.

"Lillian, Mr. Clarke, wait for me."

Lillian turned to see him. Stephen frowned. "The last time he came to Midvale, I already thought this Brandon character didn't know the first thing about caring for his sister.

Now I see he and that father of his are cut from the same cloth.

How could someone as wonderful as Auntie Eleanor give birth to someone as brilliant as you, Lillian, but also produce someone like him?

It seems the Mercer family's genes aren't so great after all."

Brandon was close enough to hear every word, as Stephen hadn't bothered to lower his voice.

His face flushed with embarrassment.

"Mr. Clarke, esteemed uncles, my father and I don't actually see eye to eye on many things.

There might be some misunderstandings.

Things at home were so chaotic before, and a lot of my actions were forced.

Even though we've formally cut ties, in my heart, Lillian will always be my sister.

You are all my mother's family, which naturally makes you my family too."

Lillian rolled her eyes. Brandon really knew how to show up when there was something to gain.

He had clearly seen the Lancaster family's potential, and he wasn't being subtle about it.

Still, Lillian found it laughable. When she was kicked out of the family, she didn't see Brandon in such a rush to say a few words for her.

Stephen didn't hold back, directly shutting him down. "Mr. Brandon Mercer, why don't you stay out of it when we uncivilized folk from the Lancaster family are talking. You Mercers are a prestigious family; we're not worthy of your company.
