Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1117

With an opportunity like this, Bella was not about to let it slip through her fingers.

She was more than willing to work relentless overtime if it meant getting the new phone to market as quickly as possible.

Her current professional standing was abysmal, and her reputation had hit rock bottom.

Now that she was back inside the Mercer Group, she desperately needed to produce tangible results to salvage her position and regain her leverage.

However, while she buried herself in work, Sebastian Blake was not letting her off the hook.

Sebastian's legal team bombarded her with calls multiple times a day, demanding she finalize the divorce.

Yet, Bella fiercely refused to sign the settlement. Unless Sebastian agreed to hand over half of his sprawling empire, the divorce was entirely off the table.

After Bella's latest arrogant refusal, a small army of top-tier attorneys stood nervously in Sebastian's office, awaiting his final command.

"Mr. Blake, all the documents are perfectly in order. We can file the lawsuit immediately."

Sebastian flipped through the dossier on his desk. His gaze was predatory, radiating an absolute, suffocating chill. "If everything is fully prepared, what the hell are you waiting for?"

The legal team had only been waiting for that exact green light.

With the order given, they didn't hesitate for a second. They immediately contacted the Midtown District Court to schedule the hearing.

Just as the lawyers filed out, Lester Ross stepped into the office.

Sebastian massaged his temples. Lately, he too had been working excruciating overtime, pouring every waking second into the corporation.

He had ensured every piece on his board was positioned perfectly to strike, yet he still hadn't received a single piece of good news.

Seeing the exhaustion gripping his boss, Lester instantly knew what was weighing on him.
