Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1170

Sabrina hadn't expected these brats to be so ruthless. They were outright threatening her now.

Backing her into a corner to force a decision.

She hadn't had the chance to discuss this with Bella yet, so she didn't know what to say.

But she definitely couldn't go to the hospital. They had already arranged for someone on the outside to forge her medical records.

Her 'heart condition' needed to be officially documented.

Otherwise, Martin would keep using these arguments against her, and that infuriated her.

She had thought that joining the Mercer family meant a life of luxury and ease. But what kind of life was this?

Where was the luxury?

The shares they had given her were being snatched back, and now the three Mercer men were united against her.

She had to make a move.

"At the end of the day, I'm not your biological mother. That's why you treat me like this. If I were your real mother, would you be so cruel?"

Brandon crossed his arms. "You hit the nail on the head. You know you're not our mother. The only reason you're getting away with this is because Grandma isn't around to manage things.

If we rolled the clock back two or three years, you wouldn't have even made it through the front door."

"You—"

Seeing that both sides were deadlocked and neither was willing to back down, Martin threw his hands up in defeat.

What had he done wrong? Why did he have to suffer in the middle of this?

Since Sabrina refused the hospital, Martin set her down on the sofa. "If you all want to argue, be my guest. Tear each other apart for all I care. I'm done. I wash my hands of this.

But why make it so complicated? With how much Dad dotes on you, do you really think he'd leave you empty-handed once the Mercer Group bounces back?

By hoarding those shares, you're turning the entire family against you. You heard Dad—he's desperate to get Lillian back to save this family.

If you play along, we can still be a family. If you don't... well, he might just have to cut you loose."

With Martin gone, Sabrina dropped the pathetic act. She couldn't be bothered to pretend in front of these two ungrateful wolves.

She let out a cold laugh. "What, are you hoping your father divorces me?

Do you honestly believe he'd give me up? Over money?"

Brandon wasn't about to back down. "You clearly don't know my father at all.

The only reason he loves you so much is because his entire life has been smooth sailing. He's never known a day of hardship or poverty."
