Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 550

The company’s stock price would rise again.

Brandon looked at Martin in disbelief. “Dad, are you out of your mind? Things have gotten to this point, and you’re still thinking of making Lillian take the fall for everything?”

“This whole thing started because of her. Unless she takes the blame, none of us will have a moment’s peace.”

Colin shot back, “Dad, do you really think that’s possible? Lillian has already cut ties with us. Do you think she’d endure all this condemnation for our sake?

“Look at the mob outside. Take a good look.

“And you still want Lillian to take the blame? That’s just wishful thinking.

“You, of all people, should know who started this mess. At a time like this, the real culprit needs to step up and apologize.”

Bella couldn't listen to another word.

She called Martin ‘Dad,’ but the two Mercer sons still hadn’t referred to her mother as ‘Mom,’ and now they weren't even showing her basic courtesy.

She snapped, “Who’s the real culprit? Who are you calling the real culprit? Colin, don’t you forget, my mother lost a child! She can never get pregnant again. She and Dad waited half their lives to have a child of their own, and now that child is gone.

“Yes, the security footage showed Lillian didn’t push my mother, but if she hadn’t done or said something, would it have happened like that?

“If she had respected my mother, if there hadn’t been a conflict that day, would this have happened? No, it wouldn’t have.

“So why should all the blame fall on my mother?

“My mother hasn’t had a single day of peace since she came into this home. Before, she was busy taking care of your sick mother and grandmother.

“After Lillian took them away, she finally had a little time for herself, only to end up waiting on all of you.
