Tears streamed freely from Sabrina's eyes.
Martin had never spoken to her with such devastating cruelty!
Given the sheer weight of his words today, if she didn't surrender the shares, would he actually divorce her?
Years ago, she had grown desperate. Terrified that the old Mrs. Mercer would spend her last breath barring her from marrying into the family, she and Bella had meticulously orchestrated their plan.
They had killed two birds with one stone, clearing the obstacles in their path so Sabrina could finally take her place.
Securing the shares had been a massive bonus, far exceeding her wildest dreams. For years, she had felt victorious.
But now, the reality of her situation was grim.
She had clawed her way through hell to get to where she was today. Was she really expected to walk away empty-handed, stripped of everything?
Absolutely not!
She had poured all her energy into using the Mercer family as a stepping stone to elevate her daughter to an even higher echelon of power.
But not only had Bella failed to secure her position, her reputation was now completely in ruins.
The idea of Bella successfully marrying into another elite family was nothing but a pipe dream now.
If her relationship with Sebastian Blake couldn't be salvaged, divorce was her only path forward.
And if Sabrina herself were divorced, what snobby, elite family would ever accept a woman with a ruined reputation? A mother who had been subjected to a month-long public apology campaign online, becoming the laughingstock of the city.
Her daughter had humiliating photos leaked, her grand wedding had imploded, and her dirty deeds were publicly broadcasted by her future in-laws while standing at the altar.
After a catastrophe of that magnitude, Bella marrying into wealth was practically impossible.
Sabrina knew this terrifying truth, which was exactly why she had to sink her claws into Martin and refuse to let go.
With Bella's divorce settlement still up in the air, Sabrina couldn't afford a single misstep on her end. Otherwise, they would be completely destroyed.
After delivering his brutal ultimatum, Martin stood up and stormed upstairs.
