Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1034

Bella looked at him, annoyed. "What do you want? I've been working my fingers to the bone at the company all day and I'm exhausted. Don't start with me."

Colin demanded, "Where is your mother? Why isn't she home?"

Bella let out a cold scoff. "How should I know if she's home or not? Didn't I just walk through the door?

What, I bust my ass at the company securing a future for all of us, and the moment I step inside, you two try to bully me?

Let me make one thing clear. I am not Lillian. If you want to mess with me, you'd better think twice.

Whatever family drama is happening has nothing to do with me, so don't even think about pinning it on me.

Enough. Let me pass.

Tomorrow is the St. Kingsley University anniversary. I might not be the main event, but I still need to look my best.

This will be my first official appearance in front of the media since the wedding fell apart.

I refuse to let anyone think that Bella Ward is just going to fade into obscurity.

I'm going to show the world that no matter what hits me, I can't be kept down. I have the resources to rise right back up."

With that, Bella shot the brothers a disdainful glare, scoffed, and marched straight up the stairs.

She was no pushover now. After everything she'd been through, she wasn't about to let anyone walk all over her, let alone scheme against her without consequences.

Sabrina's decision to hide out had actually been coordinated between mother and daughter in advance.

During the day, the Mercer brothers were always bogged down with company matters, leaving them no time for personal vendettas.

By the time they got home at night, as long as Sabrina was conveniently absent, there wasn't much they could do.

When Brandon heard the words 'St. Kingsley,' his mind instantly went to Lillian.
