Brandon's face darkened. He knew, of course, that Bella had been giving him the cold shoulder.
But he couldn't be bothered with that right now.
The company's interests were paramount, certainly more important than Bella's personal feelings.
Besides, Brandon believed that if the Mercer family truly collapsed and the Mercer Group went bankrupt, Bella's life would only get harder.
She was indeed capable, with a top-tier education and a good reputation in her industry, but so what?
There were plenty of talented people out there. What made her so special?
If Sebastian could abandon his own sister for her back then, he could just as easily find someone new in the future.
Bella's position was by no means secure.
It was better to follow his own plan: save the Mercer Group and ensure the company thrived. That was what truly mattered.
"Dad, you should stay here and take care of Ms. Ward. As for the company, I have everything under control!"
His words were a clear dismissal of Martin.

Lately, Brandon had been repeatedly disrespectful, challenging him at every turn with no regard for his paternal authority.
Martin felt his paternal authority was being seriously challenged.
Sabrina had a growing suspicion that with Brandon acting so autocratically and Martin focusing all his attention on her, Brandon was making a play for power.
If he was really attempting a power grab, things could get complicated.
She was still young and in the prime of her life, but her comfortable lifestyle was provided by Martin.
