Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 571

The two brothers flushed with embarrassment, having been exposed by Stephen in front of so many Lancaster family elders.

Stephen knew they were planning to bully Lillian again.

He waved his hand dismissively. "Don't even dream of waiting here. Lillian's not home. She went on a trip.

We don't know when she'll be back, and don't even think about trying to call her from a different number.

You won't be able to reach her. It's a one-way satellite phone, and where she is, there's no signal.

Just give it up, you two. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. Even if you keep waiting here, you won't get what you want.

Lillian isn't going to forgive you. So drop your little schemes. It's useless!"

Behind Stephen, one of the middle-aged elders stepped forward.

His face was stern as he questioned Brandon. "Brandon, let me ask you, are you really waiting here to make Lillian the scapegoat for your family's mess?"

Brandon stammered, "I…"

His hesitation and inability to give a straight answer infuriated the elder.

"Enough! The Mercer family truly has no shame. How much have you bullied Lillian? Ever since your grandmother fell ill,you and your father have shown her no respect.

A few years ago, Martin even had the audacity to send Lillian to prison behind our backs. When we inquired because we couldn't contact her, he dared to lie and say she was studying abroad.

Your family is completely heartless.

As an elder of the Lancaster family, I'm warning you two: Lillian has already been disowned by the Mercer family. From now on, she belongs only to the Lancaster family. If you dare to bully her again, don't blame us for getting rough."

Colin tried to argue, but Brandon quickly pulled him back.

He lowered his head and stood straight. "Your criticism is fair, sir. Lillian is our sister, after all. We never intended to hurt her, and we want what's best for her."

Brandon was undoubtedly smart. He knew perfectly well that everyone in the Lancaster family was on Lillian's side and would protect her unconditionally.
