Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1093

I'm guessing your firm took this case hoping to replicate your past successes and elevate your status even further," the corporate lawyer continued smoothly.

"But what looks like a golden opportunity is actually a career-ending trap.

That's all the warning we're going to give you.

If you still insist on representing Bella Ward, I suggest you treat this like any standard divorce case. Your sole objective should be convincing her to sign The Blake Divorce Settlement.

Even if she tries to drag it out through appeals, you and I both know exactly how it will end."

Thank God we were representing the husband, or we would have been slaughtered in court.

What if Sebastian pulled a similar move, and Bella doesn't even know about it?"

Sylvia Sterling, the lead attorney, pondered this. "I doubt it? Their wedding was the event of the year, broadcast live.

If the accident hadn't happened, it would have been the perfect fairytale romance.

Would he really have gone to such extreme lengths to protect his assets beforehand?"
