Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1244

After Sabrina had made her degrading apology to Eleanor, Lillian departed the estate.

Eleanor, still caught in her unpredictable manic state, was eventually coaxed back into the villa by the staff.

Left behind, Sabrina felt a suffocating knot of pure rage tightening in her chest.

Using a trip to the bathroom as an excuse, she immediately called Bella Ward and unleashed a furious tirade against Sebastian.

He was her son-in-law, yet he had stood right there and watched her get humiliated without saying a single word to defend her.

Bella offered a few soothing words before asking sharply, "He actually went to Halfridge Villas to see Lillian?

"And she actually let him in?

"With her temper, shouldn't she have completely shut him out?"

Sabrina sniffled. "I have no idea. But he looked desperate. I managed to hear something about someone being sick, and he was begging Lillian to go with him."

Realization dawned on Bella instantly.

"Mom, I know exactly what's going on. Don't worry, consider your revenge handled.

"Rest assured, every ounce of suffering she forced onto you, I'll make sure she tastes ten times over.

"That slut thinks she holds all the cards. She thinks she's untouchable. But I'm going to make sure she loses everything."

Hearing the venomous confidence in her daughter's voice, Sabrina's eyes lit up with hope.

"My sweet girl, do you have a plan? Do you have leverage against her?

"Just be careful, okay? You have to calculate your next move perfectly.

"Right now, she has all the money, and the Mercer Group is drowning.

"I can endure the humiliation, but we have to secure the assets first. You understand?"

Bella let out a dark chuckle. "Mom, relax. You know how I operate. If she actually went with Sebastian, she's walking straight into a nightmare.

"What did you do, sweetheart? You sound so happy."

"I'm busy right now, Mom. I'll explain everything when I get home tonight."

After Bella hung up, Sabrina was left to piece the puzzle together.

Suddenly, it clicked.

Noah was back, wasn't he?

Could this have something to do with the boy?

Honestly, other than an emergency with Noah, nothing else could have convinced Lillian to leave with Sebastian.

If that was the case, the outcome was obvious.

That little brat only had eyes for Bella. As far as he was concerned, Bella was his only mother.
