Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1050

Lillian froze in her tracks, utterly stunned.

Was he out of his mind?

Begging for a second chance in the middle of a crowded public space?

He was an absolute psycho!

The entire restaurant had been rented out for the St. Kingsley anniversary. High-profile guests were spilling out of the private dining rooms, and they certainly weren't deaf. The words carried clearly down the hallway.

A collective gasp rippled through the nearby crowd. No one had ever imagined that Sebastian Blake and Lillian Mercer shared a romantic history.

Lillian was equally shocked that Sebastian had the sheer audacity to say those words out loud.

Her radiant complexion instantly darkened into a stormy scowl.

A group of guests walking behind them practically choked on their after-dinner mints, their eyes wide with the thrill of incoming drama. Even Vice Chancellor Rhodes stood frozen in shock.

This was unprecedented.

Lillian was vibrating with suppressed fury. Their relationship had died a long time ago. Having him corner her in public to spew this garbage was incredibly insulting.

Her face grew impossibly dark.

Sensing her rising anger, Ethan didn't hesitate. He spun around and drove a vicious punch right into Sebastian's face.

"Listen to me, you jerk. I'm just a bystander, and even I'm sick to my stomach looking at you.

If you're drowning in regret, go lock yourself in a room and deal with it. Stop showing up here to spout this disgusting garbage.

Ms. Mercer isn't in good health, and she doesn't need the stress. Consider this punch a favor from me to help her let off some steam!

Go take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself if you even have the right to speak to her!"

"I don't want to wake up tomorrow and see my name trending as his ex-wife."

Ethan nodded sharply and instantly got on the phone with his PR team. He had noticed a few waiters discreetly recording the altercation, which meant throwing some money around to have the files scrubbed.

As for the elite guests who had filmed it, a polite but firm request from the Prescott Group would ensure the footage was quietly deleted.

But the internet moved faster than money. Someone with quick fingers had already uploaded a clip.

The St. Kingsley anniversary was already dominating the trending pages.

The chaotic scene of Bella attacking Lillian during the speech had skyrocketed to the top of the charts.

Netizens were confused—Lillian had cut all ties with the Mercer family ages ago, so why was Bella still so insanely jealous of her?

But then the restaurant video leaked. The puzzle pieces connected, and a wild theory exploded across the web: Lillian Mercer was Sebastian Blake's mysterious ex-wife!
