Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 678

“Brandon, why are you always picking on my mother?” Bella snapped. “No matter how unwell she is, hasn't she been gritting her teeth and doing her apology livestream every single day? What's wrong with getting some fresh air after being discharged from the hospital? Do you have a problem with that, Brandon?”

At this point, the Mercer family was only putting on a facade of unity, driven entirely by self-interest. It was just like before, when Brandon and his brother were fawning over Bella because she could bring them benefits. It was all about profit then, and it was all about profit now.

Brandon had asked Bella for her help in setting up an AI project team within the Mercer Group, but to this day, she had yet to recommend a single reliable person. The project was languishing, and it was clear Bella had never taken it seriously. It was obvious she never truly intended to help him. To make matters worse, the Blake Group had cut off their funding, a failure Brandon also laid at Bella’s feet.

He had never imagined the Blake Group would pull their funding, leaving the Mercer Group cornered. How could Brandon possibly be happy about that? Naturally, he couldn't resist taking a few passive-aggressive shots at Bella whenever he saw her.

“Since it happened, it has to be dealt with,” he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Our dear Bella seems to have some issues with the apology livestream, but it can't be helped. Ms. Ward, if you’re not feeling well, perhaps I should have someone take you back to the hospital. This is our family's business. Your presence here is rather inconvenient, isn't it?”
