Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 682

Lillian shot Sabrina a sharp glare. How did this woman manage to get involved in everything?

Oh, right. The Mercer family was probably not doing so well lately.

So, Bella likely didn't have much of a dowry.

When they heard she had returned the dowry the Mercer family had provided, this mother-daughter duo was clearly here to get their hands on something.

Lillian saw right through their little scheme.

She didn't say a word, but Stephen, beside her, spoke up angrily. "Who do you think you are? Does this conversation concern you?"

Startled by Stephen's fierce demeanor, Sabrina immediately shrank back toward Martin.

Noticing the Blake elders looking on, Lillian explained, "These are from my mother's side of the family. This is Brandon, and this is Stephen."

She put a slight emphasis on the name "Brandon" as she said it.

Stephen had been annoyed with Sabrina from the start, and he couldn't believe she had the audacity to speak up.

The Blake elders nodded in understanding, and Martin told Sabrina to be quiet.

Lillian took control of the situation again. "When I returned the shares, I made it clear, and I trust that both the Blake and Mercer families have investigated this.

"After I turned eighteen, I never used a single dollar from any of you.

"My dowry consisted of physical assets and equity. These personal items were all purchased by me, and I certainly never spent anyone else's money on them."

As Lillian said this, Sebastian suddenly recalled something.

He had indeed looked into this matter before, having asked Bella to investigate.

At the time, Bella had confirmed that Lillian had never spent his money, before or after their marriage. The black card he had given her had never been touched.

However, Bella's words had implied that Lillian was spending the Mercer family's money.
