Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1046

Through some twisted stroke of fate, Sebastian's eyes immediately locked onto Bella in the sea of hundreds of faces.

He saw the microphone gripped tightly in her hand. He saw the way she stared directly at his hidden spot on the balcony. Her eyes were burning with pure, unadulterated malice.

Panic spiked in his chest. A microphone in Bella's hand was a live grenade.

She had absolutely zero connection to this prestigious event.

She wasn't a donor, she hadn't contributed to the university, and she certainly wasn't an alumna.

She had zero right to even be in the building.

He had no idea how she had snuck in, but he knew exactly what she was about to do.

He couldn't let her speak.

Sebastian spun around to the Vice Chancellor. "Can we end the session right now? Cut the microphone. Immediately."

Julian blinked in surprise. "Mr. Blake? What's going on?"

Sebastian's voice was tight with barely suppressed panic. "Julian, I think the speech has gone on long enough. Let's wrap it up.

If we push it, the energy might shift.

Please, end the session and kill the audio feed now."

Without waiting for a response, Sebastian bolted for the stairs.

He had to act fast. He needed to either drag Lillian off the stage or drag Bella out of the building.

Whatever it took, he couldn't let Bella detonate her bomb.

Julian didn't know the exact details, but he could read the sheer terror radiating from Sebastian.
