Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1294

Being publicly dressed down by his son in front of Sabrina completely shattered Martin's fragile ego.

"Brandon Mercer, is that how you speak to your father?" he snapped.

Colin Mercer immediately chimed in, "Dad, Brandon is right.

He needs to go upstairs and call Sebastian to finalize the arrangements for Noah's stay.

Stop dragging us down. You know having Noah here for a few days is a massive win for us. Are you seriously trying to sabotage it?"

With both sons teaming up against him, Martin was backed into a corner.

"You... you two have really grown some nerve, haven't you?

Lecturing your own father like it's your job."

Furious and humiliated, Martin stood up and stormed up the stairs without another word.

He had zero desire to sit there and coddle Sabrina's feelings. Frankly, he needed someone to coddle his right now.

Once Martin was gone, Brandon's icy gaze locked back onto Sabrina.

"Keep acting. Why stop now? Or do you only bother putting on a show for Dad, and drop the act the second he turns his back?"

Sabrina instantly dried her tears. A woman's tears were a precious commodity.

They were meant to be used as a weapon, not wasted.

These two ungrateful bastards weren't her flesh and blood, and they felt absolutely no sympathy for her. Shedding tears for them was a waste of perfectly good saltwater.

Still, she couldn't afford to completely drop the mask.

"Brandon, Colin, I don't understand where this hostility is coming from.

Your father and I love each other. Isn't that a good thing?

Why do you constantly push me away?
