Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 544

The HR representative said, “Chairman, she’s an intern. She doesn’t have a contract.”

Martin almost fainted from anger. So this was the legendary Gen Z shaking up the workplace?

It was infuriating, and it was happening to him.

“Dad, I actually think that girl had a point,” Brandon said.

“The key to this whole mess is Ms. Ward. If she’s willing to come forward, apologize publicly, and admit she framed Lillian, we might be able to divert some of the public’s attention.

You have two choices right now: protect Ms. Ward, or protect the company.

The company is in a massive crisis. Have you thought about what comes next?

What if we can’t turn public opinion around by Monday? We’ll have no way out. The stock will plummet. Think about the consequences.”

It wasn't that Martin hadn't considered the consequences; he just didn't want to throw Sabrina under the bus.

He had sworn to give Sabrina a good life.

If he pushed her out now, what kind of man would that make him?

He couldn’t break his promise to her.

“We have two days. Keep thinking of other solutions.

If I just abandon my wife at a critical moment, what will people think of me?”

Colin muttered under his breath, “You didn’t seem to care what people thought when you threw your daughter out.

Everyone already thinks you’re a heartless bastard anyway.

What’s so bad about sacrificing a little more of your reputation to save the company and everyone’s jobs?”

Do you really want to protect Sabrina so badly that you’ll force all of us to jump off a bridge with you?”

Martin was shocked that his son would dare to lash out at him like this in front of so many people.

His own temper flared. “Is there really no one in this entire room who can think of a better solution? And you, Brandon, don’t take out your own incompetence on my wife.

The Mercer Group has a century-old legacy. No one can bring it down that easily.

I’m warning you, stop fearmongering.

Don’t just stand there! All of you, go find a solution! Go on, and if you can’t, you can forget about your salaries and bonuses.”

The employees scattered from the meeting room as if fleeing for their lives, terrified of getting caught in the crossfire.

At this point, the Mercer men were so volatile they would probably kick a stray dog that happened to walk by.
