Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 551

“Look, I’m telling you, my mother is an innocent victim in all of this,” Bella said.

“The child she lost wasn’t just a Mercer—it was your own sibling.

“She’s already been hurt so badly, so why should she be the one to apologize?

“Have you thought about what would happen if she did?

“People online are already tearing her apart. If she apologizes, she’ll become a public pariah, hounded by everyone. Do you really have the heart to do that to her?

“Besides, Sebastian and I are planning our wedding right now.

“How does treating my mother this way reflect on the Blake family?

“At the wedding, how are the Blakes supposed to introduce her?

“Brandon, Colin, the Mercer Group has relied on the Blake Group for quite a few projects over the past few years, hasn’t it?

“You should think carefully about whether it’s better for our families to be joined by marriage or by resentment.”

With that, Bella pulled Sabrina away.

Bella was still staying in a guest room. The room Lillian had moved out of was still airing out after being redecorated, so she hadn’t been able to move in yet.

“Mom, you’re usually so tough. Why were you completely silent today, like you’d lost your voice? You left me to do all the talking.

“You know as well as I do that those two brothers have been looking for a way to make you the scapegoat.

“The men in the Mercer family are all the same. When trouble comes, they can’t handle it themselves, so they just throw the women in their family under the bus.

“They use them as cannon fodder while they sit back and reap the benefits.

“They must be dreaming if they think they can get away with that.”
