Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1068

Bella was already seething with rage, and being publicly scolded by Brandon only made her explode further.

"So what?! So what if I did?! I wish she were dead! If it weren't for her, would I be in this pathetic situation right now?

If she weren't around, would Sebastian be constantly wavering?

He and I are legally married! I don't know what kind of spell that little sister of yours cast on him. All I did was throw a microphone at her—would that have killed her?

Yet Sebastian protected her like his life depended on it. He took the hit for her!

And he was the one who personally called the cops! Now I see exactly what he's doing. He wants to lock me up. He feels guilty about making Lillian take the fall all those years ago, so he's trying to throw me in a cell the exact same way to make it up to her.

He's using my destruction to win back Lillian's favor!

You men are all exactly the same! You're all ruthless monsters!

Besides using us for your own gain, do any of you possess a shred of actual human emotion?

Sebastian is a monster, and you two are no different.

If I were Lillian, I would rather die than ever forgive you either!"

*Smack!*

A vicious slap echoed through the air, landing squarely on Bella's cheek.

Brandon had struck her.

It was the first time he had ever laid a hand on Bella.

Her words had stabbed directly into his deepest, most agonizing insecurity.

*Lillian would rather die than forgive them?*

This filthy shrew had the nerve to say that out loud.

Bella stood frozen, seemingly unable to process that Brandon had actually hit her.

"Brandon, are you out of your mind?! How dare you touch me! What gives you the right to hit me?"

Before the words fully left her mouth, Brandon swung his hand back, delivering another brutal slap to the other side of her face.

"Bella, let me make this perfectly clear. Don't think for a second that just because you might wring a massive divorce settlement out of Sebastian, we have to beg at your feet. Don't think we have to cater to your every psychotic whim.
