Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1052

Truth be told, Leonard had read the entire analysis post from start to finish, thoroughly enjoying every word.

SweetSeeker had truly taken a magnifying glass to their romance, hunting for every single crumb of evidence.

It was impressive how meticulously she had pieced it all together.

People on the internet had been dying to know who Lillian was dating, but no one had ever broken it down as brilliantly as SweetSeeker.

The timing was absolutely perfect. Just as Sebastian was desperately trying to crawl back into Lillian's life by exposing their past marriage, SweetSeeker's post seamlessly brought Leonard—the current, official boyfriend—into the spotlight.

Leonard knew that if he wanted to go public, he only had to ask Lillian and she wouldn't refuse.

But Lillian was always incredibly career-focused and preferred to keep her private life low-key.

If he demanded they go public, it might make him look wildly insecure.

Lillian was strong and independent; she never entertained that kind of relationship anxiety.

So, for now, he was perfectly content sitting back and silently relishing the internet's detective work.

After chatting downstairs for a little while longer, Lillian headed up to her room to rest.

The moment her bedroom door clicked shut, Leonard immediately pulled out his phone and quietly paid for a massive wave of traffic to boost SweetSeeker's post.

That night, the hashtag revealing Lillian as Sebastian's ex-wife dominated the number one spot on the trending charts.

She wasn't even a celebrity, so for her past marriage to top the charts was completely unheard of.

But Lillian's sheer talent spoke for itself.

Lester stood behind him, delivering his report.

"Mr. Blake, I've paid to boost several threads regarding you and Ms. Mercer. A few of them are performing exceptionally well, and one has already hit the number one trending spot. The netizens are highly invested in your past relationship. However, there are also quite a few people criticizing you..."

Lester paused, hesitating, but Sebastian demanded, "Criticizing me for what?"

"They're saying you threw away a diamond for a piece of trash. That you divorced a genius only to marry the daughter of a mistress. Some are speculating that your current wife is a homewrecker who ruined your marriage with Ms. Mercer. They're also saying you've been made a fool of, and that Bella is nothing but a filthy slut."

The vicious insults stoked a dark fury in Sebastian's chest. He frowned, his gaze turning predatory and cold.

But a moment later, he brushed it off.

"We can't control what netizens say. Besides, aren't they right about Bella Ward? If she hadn't deliberately plotted and seduced me, that second marriage would never have happened. By the way, how are things going for her at the police station?"
