Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1368

Sabrina's heart skipped a terrifying beat. Could Bella have actually done it?

When she had visited Bella's hotel room that morning, her daughter had been acting incredibly strange.

Furthermore, Sabrina was one of the few people who knew for a fact that Debbie had been locked up under Bella's control.

If things had violently derailed, the odds were astronomical that Bella was at the center of the mess.

Sabrina was practically hyperventilating with anxiety. She hadn't expected Lillian to know anything about it.

But then again, with Lillian's current wealth and power, it would be more surprising if she didn't have eyes everywhere.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Sabrina forced herself to hold the line. "Lillian, please, you can't joke about things like that. The things in that video... that's a severe felony.

"Neither I nor my Bella would ever dare cross the line of the law.

"Lillian, I know you despise me.

"But I married your father. I joined the Mercer family. No matter what, we are family now, and I just want us to live in peace.

"Let's not throw around false accusations that ruin people's innocence, okay?"

Lillian smirked, confirming that Sabrina truly was in the dark about how Bella had spent the last few days essentially tap-dancing on the penal code.

"Anyone can spin a pretty lie," Lillian said smoothly. "But it's fantastic that you recognize the events in that video are highly illegal.

"Just make sure whatever you two are secretly plotting doesn't blow back on the Mercer family. The Mercer Group is hanging by a thread right now; it can't survive a shockwave like that.

"If a murder scandal suddenly drops on our heads, do you really think the company will ever recover?"

Even though Martin believed his wife was innocent, Lillian's icy warning made the hair on his arms stand up. A suffocating wave of tension gripped the room.
