Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1254

Sebastian had come to warn her, but ended up getting a vicious verbal thrashing instead.

Worst of all, she had the audacity to bring up Debbie Harris.

"You dare bring up Debbie Harris? Where did you hide her? Bella, you better not dig your own grave. With your skills, you could still scrape by, but don't completely destroy your only way out."

"I'm destroying my way out?" Bella scoffed coldly. "She's your biological mother, why are you asking me? Does she not have legs? If she wanted to be near you, wouldn't she come finding you herself? The fact that she hasn't shows exactly what she thinks of her precious son. Oh, by the way, I still remember Debbie telling me that you have her filthy blood running through your veins. You're exactly like her. The only difference is you're smarter and exponentially more vicious. I didn't fully grasp the weight of her words back then. But I get it now. Sebastian, compared to you, your mother is practically a saint."

Bella couldn't stop herself from laughing.

Sebastian was absolutely livid. Debbie was a permanent stain of humiliation on his existence.

He had often agonized over why he couldn't have been born to Old Mrs. Blake instead of crawling out of Debbie's womb. She was the root of all his suffering.

He turned his glare on Bella. "What exactly did you say to him? I won't even bring up the rest of your garbage, but why this? Are you a curse on this family? Will you only be happy when the Mercers and the Blakes are completely destroyed? They are mother and son, and you drove a wedge between them! Do you have any humanity left? Believe me, I'll tell Lillian everything, and she'll make you cough up every single share you stole!"

Since Bella only cared about money, he hit her where it hurt.

Bella just smiled. "Can you both calm down? I didn't teach Noah to hate his mother. Kids are naturally drawn to whoever treats them well. There's no cold calculation like with adults—it's just pure affection.
